...neoadjuvant palbociclib and ET in pre- or post-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- early BC....Interestingly, we observed higher baseline mRNA expression of CDK6 in patients with absence of US response (p = 0.039) or those with no CCCA (p = 0.004)….High pre-treatment mRNA expression of the CDK6 gene was associated with no US response or absence of CCCA in patients treated with neoadjuvant palbociclib and ET.
