Background: The actual use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer locally advanced is an indication, that raises the chance to reduce the size of the tumor and perform conservative surgery. Objetive: Describe the response to chemotherapy AC (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) and taxanes with or without trastuzumab usually administered in the neoadjuvant therapy. Methods: The study is a observational descriptive prospective, made between october 2012 and may 2014, including women older than 18 years selected by convenience, with diagnosis by histopathology of infiltrating epithelial breast cancer with clinical stage IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IIIC according to the classification of AJCC, with functional status less or equal to 2 and negative extension studies to metastatic disease no more than two months. Results: The total sample was of 109 women, the average age was 53.3 years, the median tumor size was about 5 cm 85.4% of the women complete the whole treatment. The frequency of the intrinsic groups goes as it follows, luminal B1 (41.2%), luminal A (17.5%), triple negative (17.5%), luminal B2 (16.5%) and HER2 (7.2%). 31 conservative surgeries were performed. The global pathological complete response was of 19.7%. The biggest pathological response was in the triple negative subgroup 33.3% and in patient with overexpression of HER2 the response was 38.9%; luminal A response was quite low 5.6%. Conclusion: The neoadjuvant sequential chemotherapy based on AC protocol follow up by taxanes associated or not to trastuzumab according to the over-expression of HER2, improves pathologic complete response, and rise the number of conservative surgeries with minimal toxicity in the patients with breast cancer locally advanced in the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, with similar results compared to the international literature.
