SCD5 expression correlates with prognosis and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer

Abstract Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) represents a standard option for breast cancer. Unfortunately, about 55–80% of breast cancer patients do not have a favorable response to chemotherapy. Highly specific tumor biomarker that can predict the pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is l...
