Carboplatin in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Triple‑Negative Breast Cancer: No EFS Gain but an Overall Survival Signal Driven by Premenopausal Patients

A phase III trial found that adding weekly carboplatin to taxane‑anthracycline neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly improve event‑free survival overall but was associated with improved overall survival, with benefits concentrated in premenopausal women; hematologic toxicity increased.
