Application of the 21-Gene Recurrence Score in Patients with Early HR-Positive/HER2-Negative Breast Cancer: Chemotherapy and Survival Rate According to Clinical Risk.


ABSTRACT: We assessed the impact of 21-gene Recurrence Score (RS) assay on chemotherapy decision-making according to binary clinical risk stratification in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer. We included patients with tumors measuring 1-5 cm, N0-1, and HR+/HER2- breast cancer who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant treatment. The clinical risk was determined by a modified version of Adjuvant! Online. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) according to the application of 21-gene RS separately in the low and high clinical risk groups. Before PSM, 342 (39.0%) of 878 patients were classified as having high clinical risk. In the high clinical risk group, 21-gene RS showed a significantly reduced chemotherapy rate of 39.3%, without increasing the recurrence. After PSM, the 21-gene RS application significantly reduced chemotherapy rate by 34.0% in 200 patients with high clinical risk (21-gene RS application, 32.0% vs. no 21-gene RS application, 66.0%, p < 0.001). There was also no significant difference in RFS according to 21-gene RS status in the high clinical risk group (log-rank test, p = 0.467). These results support the usefulness of the 21-gene RS to reduce the chemotherapy rate without adversely affecting prognosis in a high clinical risk group.
