## Abstract Accurate predictive markers of chemotherapeutic response in early breast cancer are still lacking. The role of tumour growth fraction as a predictor of response to chemotherapy was assessed in early breast cancer. In this study, immunohistochemical expression of MIB1 was studied in a we

The responses were assessed by two independent extramural reviewers. Of the 89 patients, 81 were evaluable; 28 of 36 (77.8%) ER-pos
## Abstract Twentyβone cancers in 20 patients with locally advanced breast cancer were studied. Incisional biopsy was performed without using electrocautery. Tissue was obtained for histology and estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors. Patients received chemotherapy after biopsy. All respond
Included in this study were 43 breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy who presented metastasis only in bone. Forty-two percent had metastasis during chemotherapy, and 58% had metastasis after the completion of chemotherapy. In 66% of the patients, the lesions were osteolytic. Twen
