    Abstract

    Association of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2, Ki67 and 70-gene classifier (70-GC) with a response to paclitaxel (PAC) (n=79) or docetaxel (DOC) (n=55) was investigated in the neoadjuvant setting for breast cancer patients. Sensitivity of breast tumors to PAC, but not to DOC, was found to be significantly associated with ER negativity (P=0.003), PR negativity (P=0.007), and Ki67 positivity (P=0.007). Breast tumors classified into the responders by 70-GC showed a significantly (P=0.005) higher reduction rate to PAC and interestingly a significantly (P=0.009) lower reduction rate to DOC than those classified into the non-responders by 70-GC, suggesting that 70-GC might be useful for the differentiation of PAC-sensitive and DOC-sensitive breast tumors.
