BACKGROUND: Antibody-dependent-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is one of the modes of action for trastuzumab. Recent data have suggested that fragment C γ receptor (FcγR) polymorphisms have an effect on ADCC. This prospective phase II trial aimed to evaluate whether these polymorphisms are associated with clinical efficacies in patients who received trastuzumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients in a neoadjuvant (N)...
