Clinical efficacy of combined goserelin and anastrozole in neoadjuvant endocrine therapy for premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of combining goserelin with anastrozole in neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) for patients diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological data of 34 patients diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer who underwent NET in the Department of Breast Surgery at Baotou Cancer Hospital between March 2016 and December 2019. Additionally, the feasibility of using goserelin combined with anastrozole for premenopausal endocrine therapy was assessed.
resultsThe duration of NET ranged from 6 to 72 months, with a mean of 22.5 months and a median of 18 months. In patients with progressive disease, endocrine therapy was assessed over a period of 6 to 18 months, with a mean of 13.1 months and a median of 13 months. Among the 28 patients assessed, 12 (42.86%) were found to have stable disease, subsequently receiving chemotherapy. Of these, seven patients demonstrated good compliance, and 5 achieved a pathological complete response. Including the 2 patients who responded favorably to NET alone, a total of 7 patients attained a pathological complete response. Additionally, 16 patients achieved complete cell cycle arrest following treatment. A significant correlation was observed between the clinical efficacy assessment and the pathological assessment of NET (P < 0.05).
conclusionAlthough NET was safe for patients diagnosed with premenopausal breast cancer, it should not be considered in isolation from chemotherapy. Transitioning to chemotherapy in a timely manner can significantly enhance treatment outcomes. The duration of NET should be guided by clinical assessment rather than being constrained by a predetermined time frame.
