Correction to: Reducing chemotherapy use in clinically high-risk, genomically low-risk pN0 and pN1 early breast cancer patients: five-year data from the prospective, randomised phase 3 West German Study Group (WSG) PlanB trial.

abstract：PURPOSE:Previous work found that lower BMI is associated with a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Relative dose intensity (RDI) of chemotherapy is an important marker of treatment tolerability. We hypothesized that patients with low BMI would have higher RDI than p...
