Increasingly, researchers are focusing on the susceptibility of breast tumors (BC) to certain chemotherapy drugs and personalizing studies based on an assessment of this susceptibility. One such personalized approach is the assessment of chemotherapy gene expression and aberrations in the number of DNA copies — deletions and amplifications that affect gene activity. Comprehensive assessment of gene expression of chemotherapy drugs is important not only for understanding the heterogeneity and molecular biology of breast cancer, but also for obtaining a more accurate prognosis of the disease. Thus, the aim of the work is to analyze the relationship between the expression of chemosensitivity genes ERCC1, RRM1, TOP1, TOP2α, TUBB3, TYMS, GSTP1 and the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT).
