Adjuvant treatment decision in patients with node-negative, ER+/Her2-, early stage breast cancer with Oncotype DX (ODX) recurrence score (RS) of 11-30: Impact of clinicopathologic features.

2017 
e12022Background: The ODX RS predicts the risk of distant recurrence and the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) in patients with ER+/Her2- breast cancer. High RS predicts a large benefit whereas low RS predicts minimal benefit from CT. A prospective trial showed that patients with low RS of 0-10 may be safely spared adjuvant CT. Recommendations in patients with intermediate RS are less clear. We performed a retrospective study of adjuvant therapy decision in patients with RS 11-30. Methods: We identified patients with ER+/Her2-, node-negative breast cancer with ODX RS 11-30 treated at our center from 2010-2016. Data on patient age, type of surgery, tumor size, grade, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), RS and treatment were collected. Statistical associations were tested using Chi square/Fisher's exact test and t test. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine odds ratios (OR). Results: 76 patients were identified. 86% (65/76) of them received adjuvant endocrine therapy alone and 14% (11/76) receiv...
