Abstract

Ki-67 is increasingly being used as a response biomarker in window of opportunity trials for breast cancer. We analyzed 274 patients who received no active treatment in pre-surgical trials and noticed a significant increase in Ki-67 from baseline biopsy to end point surgery in HER2-positive and triple-negative tumors. This association suggests a real increase in cancer proliferation and should be considered in the design and interpretation of pre-surgical studies.
