Neoadjuvant treatment is chemo before surgery to shrink the tumour, adjuvant is after surgery to clean up! Pathological complete response means after the neoadjuvant, they found no cancer cells in the tissue they removed—it's the dream result!
We are selling our shop's delivery van right now for my father's *targeted* therapy, which is like a super-specific adjuvant treatment. So for us, the "after surgery" part is everything, because getting him strong enough for that surgery was our first big fight.
