Abstract

More than two decades have passed since neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been introduced in the clinical practice. After several pilot studies, randomized trials and meta-analysis have confirmed the validity of this therapeutic strategy and in particular of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery. Several open questions still remain unanswered and in particular no standard drug regiment is unanimously accepted. In this paper we describe how this treatment has evolved since its original introduction in the early eighties and describe possible drug regimens with their supporting evidence that can be adopted by physicians worldwide.
