A Five-Year Single-Center Retrospective Study of Neoadjuvant Therapy Response and Survival in Romanian Women with Breast Cancer
: In this single-center retrospective cohort, overall survival was associated with age at diagnosis, tumor characteristics, and treatment patterns. The high proportion of early deaths and the frequent absence of documented surgical treatment in patients who died suggest important challenges related to late presentation, continuity of care, and access to guideline-concordant multidisciplinary treatment in the Romanian setting.
