Race, Ethnicity, and Clinical Outcomes in Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, Node-Negative Breast Cancer in the Randomized TAILORx Trial

Kathy S. Albain et al.

Summary: The study revealed that black women with early breast cancer had worse clinical outcomes despite similar 21-gene recurrence score results and comparable systemic therapy. Hispanic ethnicity and Asian race were associated with better outcomes.

Adjuvant abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy for high-risk early breast cancer: updated efficacy and Ki-67 analysis from the monarchE study

N. Harbeck et al.

Summary: Adjuvant abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy significantly improved invasive disease-free survival in patients with early breast cancer, with an acceptable safety profile. Ki-67 index was prognostic but did not affect the benefits of abemaciclib. The robust treatment benefit of abemaciclib extended beyond the planned 2-year treatment period.

Clinical validity of clinical treatment score 5 (CTS5) for estimating risk of late recurrence in unselected, non-trial patients with early oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Juliet Richman et al.

Summary: The study assessed the effectiveness of Clinical Treatment Score at 5 years (CTS5) in predicting distant recurrence in breast cancer patients and found it to be more effective in postmenopausal women. The high-risk group had significantly higher observed recurrence risks compared to expected risks when predicting late distant recurrence.

Development and Validation of a Tool Integrating the 21-Gene Recurrence Score and Clinical-Pathological Features to Individualize Prognosis and Prediction of Chemotherapy Benefit in Early Breast Cancer

Joseph A. Sparano et al.

Summary: A new tool, RSClin, was developed to integrate genomic and clinical features to provide more individualized information for guiding adjuvant chemotherapy in node-negative breast cancer. External validation showed that the RSClin risk estimate was prognostic for distant recurrence risk and closely approximated the observed risk. The integration of clinical-pathological and genomic risk in RSClin offers more precise guidance for adjuvant chemotherapy compared to using clinical-pathological or genomic data alone.

Assessment of Ki67 in Breast Cancer: Updated Recommendations From the International Ki67 in Breast Cancer Working Group

Torsten O. Nielsen et al.

Summary: Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is commonly used in breast cancer as a proliferation marker, but its analytical validity has been questioned. The International Ki67 in Breast Cancer Working Group (IKWG) recommends careful preanalytical handling, adoption of a standardized visual scoring method, and participation in quality assurance and quality control programs. Clinical utility of Ki67 IHC in breast cancer care is currently limited to prognosis assessment in stage I or II breast cancer.

21-Gene Assay to Inform Chemotherapy Benefit in Node-Positive Breast Cancer

Kevin Kalinsky et al.

Summary: The study showed that among premenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and one to three positive lymph nodes with a recurrence score of 25 or lower, the addition of chemotherapy to endocrine therapy led to longer invasive disease-free survival and distant relapse-free survival compared to endocrine therapy alone. However, postmenopausal women with similar characteristics did not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of invasive disease-free survival.

70-gene signature as an aid for treatment decisions in early breast cancer: updated results of the phase 3 randomised MINDACT trial with an exploratory analysis by age

Martine Piccart et al.

Summary: The MINDACT trial demonstrated that patients with breast cancer of high clinical and low genomic risk who did not receive chemotherapy had excellent 5-year distant metastasis-free survival. The long-term follow-up results, including exploratory analysis by age, further support the use of genomic testing in identifying patients who can forgo chemotherapy. Chemotherapy showed different effects on distant metastasis-free survival based on age and nodal status, especially in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative disease.

NRG Oncology/NSABP B-47 menstrual history study: impact of adjuvant chemotherapy with and without trastuzumab

Patricia A. Ganz et al.

Summary: The NRG Oncology/NSABP B-47 menstrual history study investigated the impact of trastuzumab on menstrual status and reproductive hormone levels. Results revealed that trastuzumab did not lead to a higher rate of amenorrhea, and confirmed previous findings regarding predictors of amenorrhea. This large prospective study provided valuable data for counseling patients on the risk of premature menopause.

Breast Cancer Index Predicts Extended Endocrine Benefit to Individualize Selection of Patients with HR+ Early-stage Breast Cancer for 10 Years of Endocrine Therapy

Iris Noordhoek et al.

Summary: This study found that BCI (H/I) as a biomarker could predict the benefit of extended endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage HR+ breast cancer, providing important clinical implications for treatment decisions.
