Introduction: Pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is associated with improvement in survival outcomes. This study evaluated the pCR in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer after NAC. Methods: We evaluated 417 patients who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and treated with NAC followed by curative surgery between January 2007 and December 2020 and analyzed the pCR for HR-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. Results: The median age at the time of surgery was 45.4 years, and 9.1% patients (38 of 417) with HR-positive/HER2-negative status had pCR. Among patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, patients with single HR-positivity had a 20.2% pCR rate, and patients with double HR-positivity had a 4.4% pCR rate. Patients with a high Ki-67 index exhibited a higher pCR rate than those with a lower Ki-67 index (14.5% vs. 3.2%). Patients with single HR-positive and high Ki-67 values exhibited a significantly higher pCR rate than those with double HR-positive and low Ki-67 values (27.8% vs. 2.1%; p
