<P><B>Summary</B></P> <P><B>Background/Objective</B></P> <P>Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a standard treatment for locally advanced breast cancer, especially for HER2-positive or triple negative breast cancer which shows good response to chemotherapy. However, because a result of biomarkers is, occasionally, changed after NAC, the treatment strategy should be differently applied for patients with locally advanced breast cancer. We compared the results of biomarkers before and after NAC to evaluate the association with disease prognosis and oncologic results.</P> <P><B>Methods</B></P> <P>Fifty-seven patients with locally advanced breast cancer underwent NAC and the immunohistochemical (IHC) staining results were compared between before and after NAC. And the association between oncologic outcomes and biomarkers was analyzed.</P> <P><B>Results</B></P> <P>Negative status of estrogen receptor (ER) was associated with locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis both before and after NAC (p = 0.021, 0.019; p = 0.018, 0.036). And the negative status of progesterone receptor (PR) and triple negative status before neoadjuvant chemotherapy were also associated with death and distant metastasis, respectively. However, the changes of biomarkers after NAC in breast cancer were not directly associated with any oncologic outcomes.</P> <P><B>Conclusion</B></P> <P>The absence of ER in breast cancer before and after NAC would be a significant prognostic factor for local recurrence and distant metastasis. Therefore, the absence of ER should be considered as important factor in determining the treatment strategy.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is important treatment modality for locally advanced breast cancer. </LI> <LI> The results of biomarkers in breast cancer can change after NAC. </LI> <LI> Absence of estrogen receptor is strongly associated with local recurrence and distant metastasis in before and after NAC. </LI> </UL> </P>
