This retrospective study identified clinicopathological factors that can predict the Oncotype DX (ODX) risk group in early breast cancer patients, providing alternative options to the costly and time-consuming ODX test. The factors predicting the ODX risk group differ according to age, and can help guide decision-making on adjuvant chemotherapy.
Oncotype DX (ODX), a 21-gene assay, predicts the recurrence risk in early breast cancer; however, it has high costs and long testing times. We aimed to identify clinicopathological factors that can predict the ODX risk group and serve as alternatives to the ODX test. This retrospective study included 547 estrogen receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, and lymph node-negative breast cancer patients who underwent ODX testing. Based on the recurrence scores, three ODX risk categories (low: 0-15, intermediate: 16-25, and high: 26-100) were established in patients aged =50 years (n = 379), whereas two ODX risk categories (low: 0-25 and high: 26-100) were established in patients aged >50 years (n = 168). Factors selected for analysis included body mass index, menopausal status, type of surgery, and pathological and immunohistochemical features. The ODX risk groups showed significant association with histologic grade (p = 0.0002), progesterone receptor expression (p < 0.0001), Ki-67 (p < 0.0001), and p53 expression (p = 0.023) in patients aged =50 years. In patients aged >50 years, tumor size (p = 0.022), Ki-67 (p = 0.001), and p53 expression (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with the risk group. Certain clinicopathological factors can predict the ODX risk group and enable decision-making on adjuvant chemotherapy; these factors differ according to age.
