What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival of patients who achieve a complete response
To estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival at 3-year of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging and a stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and omit loco-regional surgery. 3-years loco-regional invasive disease-free survival rate is defined as time from the first date of no disease (i.e., date of stereotaxic guided biopsy) to loco-regional recurrence. Loco-regional recurrence is defined as recurrence of breast cancer in the same breast parenchyma as the original primary lesion, the axilla, regional lymph nodes, chest wall and/or skin of the ipsilateral breast.
Measured: 3 years
Secondary outcomes (7)
To estimate the disease-free survival at 3years of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging and a stereotaxic guided biopsy and omit loco-regional surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and dual HER2 blockade.
Measured: 3 years
To estimate the disease-free survival at 5 years of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging and a stereotaxic guided biopsy and omit loco-regional surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and dual HER2 blockade.
Measured: 5 years
To estimate the disease-free survival at 3years of patients who do not achieve a complete response based on imaging following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and dual HER2 blockade
Measured: 3 years
To estimate the disease-free survival at 5 years of patients who do not achieve a complete response based on imaging following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and dual HER2 blockade
Measured: 5 years
To compare the cost in patients with and without breast cancer surgery, not only direct cost for hospitals/public health system, but also indirect cost for public system
Measured the cost in monetary units
Measured: 5 years
To assess the effect of investigational treatment and standard treatment on patient reported outcomes
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), version 3; 3.2 EORTC QLQ-BR23 (breast cancer-specific questionnaire). There are all scale with a range that goes from 0 to 100 were 0 is the worst result and 100 the best.
Measured: 5 years
Incidence, duration and severity of Adverse Events assessed by the NCI Common Terminology for Classification of Adverse Events version 5, including dose reductions, delays and treatment discontinuations
Measured: 5 years
