Reduction in maximal standardised uptake volume after four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Percentage reduction in maximal standardised uptake volume (SUVmax) after four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to pathological response obtained upon completion of chemotherapy. (a) Reductions in SUVmax after four cycles of docetaxel (Taxotere®) (TAX). (b) Reductions in SUVmax after four cycles of anthracycline-based fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC). Data depict the median, interquartile ranges and total ranges. (a) N/complete = 6, N/partial = 9, N/minor = 16. (b) N/complete = 8, N/partial = 9, N/minor = 12.
