Mamounas EP, Bandos H, Lembersky BC, Jeong JH, et al.
The authors conclude that: The effect of extended tx with 5 yrs of L on DFS persisted in the updated analyses and reached statistical significance. There was no significant improvement in OS with L, but L continued to provide a significant improvement in BCFI and DR.

Echeverria GV, Xu M, Shao J, Zhang X, et al.
The authors conclude that: These studies have revealed transcriptomic ITH in primary and metastatic tumors, with stable patterns of transcriptomic ITH in spatially distinct metastases. Furthermore, metastases exhibited reproducible enrichment of a low-abundance primary tumor transcriptomic subpopulation. Together, these studies will elucidate transcriptomic programs associated multi-organ metastasis in TNBC and are expected to enable rational therapeutic targeting strategies.

Sestak I, Crager M, Cuzick J, Dowsett M, et al.
The authors conclude that: Low risks of late DR of 3.1% (2.4-4.0) for RS scores 0-25 (ET) and 3.8% (2.9-4.8) for RS scores 11-100 (CET) were observed in this ER-positive, HER2-negative and node negative TAILORx cohort. We confirm the prognostic ability of the CTS5 for late DR in the TAILORx cohort, specifically for patients older than 50 years and/or those who were deemed intermediate or high risk by Oncotype Dx RS (11-100). Our results show that the CTS5 is less prognostic for late DR in women aged 50 years or younger who received 5 years of endocrine therapy only. Further evaluation of the CTS5 in premenopausal cohorts is needed before it can be applied to younger patients. |

Cuzick J, Sestak I, Forbes J, Dowsett M, et al.
The authors conclude that: This updated analysis of the IBIS-II trial confirms the significant reduction in breast cancer occurrence withanastrozole in the post-treatment follow-up period. These results indicate a long-term preventive benefit with anastrozole for ER-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

To be presented by Fatima Cardoso / Piccart MJ, Poncet C, Cardoso F, van't Veer L, et al.
The authors conclude that: While postmenopausal patients primarily received aromatase inhibitors, adjuvant endocrine therapy consisted mostly in tamoxifen in younger women with only 7.0% of them also receiving an LHRH analog. This unplanned analysis, limited by a small number of events and large confidence intervals, nevertheless shows the same « trend » as seen in Tailor-X and also suggests that women aged 40 to 50, classified cH / gL risk and presumably premenopausal, might be undertreated with tamoxifen alone. It is probable but not proven that this age-dependent chemotherapy effect is due to ovarian function suppression (OFS). The added value of chemotherapy in case of optimal endocrine therapy (i.e. OFS + tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor) cannot be evaluated in MINDACT nor in TailorX and should be further studied. Possibly, optimal endocrine therapy, e.g. ovarian ablation in addition to tamoxifene in the 40-50y age group cH could be adequate. This reinforced message is important for practicing oncologists and patients. |

Meattini I, Saieva C, Lucidi S, lo Russo M, et al.
The authors conclude that: IBTR rate after 10 years in patients with early breast cancer who were treated with APBI using IMRT technique in 5 fractions is rare and not significantly different from patients treated with WBI. OS, BCSS, DMFS, and LRR control are also comparable. Thus, APBI should be considered a reasonable alternative for a WBI in early breast cancer patients. |

Tilanus-Linthorst MMA, Geuzinge HA, Obdeijn IM, Rutgers EJT, et al.
The authors conclude that: MRI-screening advances the detection of breast cancer greatly, but with more additional investigastions. MRI-screening may be cost-effective in groups with sufficient tumor incidence, like women with familial risk. |
