In clinical practice, it is necessary to define an optimal choice from many different therapeutic regimens. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) for breast cancer patients. Randomized clinical trials were included. Nine studies comprising 2133 patients were included in the final analysis. Network meta-analysis showed that everolimus plus letrozole was more easily accepted by patients than exemestane (>= 20wks) (odds ratio (OR): 856697.02, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI): 1.88 to 87242934...); exemestane (>= 20wks) had worse acceptability than letrozole (OR: 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.98). Letrozole produced a better clinical objective response (COR) than tamoxifen (OR: 1.99, 95% CI: 1.04 to 3.80). The incidence of fatigue between the anastrozole plus gefitinib group and the everolimus plus letrozole group was significantly different (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.83). The exemestane (<20wks) plus celecoxib group had fewer hot flushes than others. Ranking showed the everolimus plus letrozole was most likely rank first in comparisons of COR and acceptability, and had a 64% possibility to rank first after stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis. In conclusion, our study showed that letrozole plus everolimus is the most effective treatment for postmenopausal, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in the neoadjuvant setting.
