INSIGHT

Oncotype Guidance Holds With Long-Term Data

  • Long-term follow-up confirms Oncotype-guided omission of chemo remains valid for many ER+ node-negative patients.
  • Clinical risk and menopausal status modify benefit, so combine genomic score with tumor size/grade when deciding.
ADVICE

Address Ovarian Function Before Prescribing Chemo

  • Consider ovarian suppression plus an AI for premenopausal higher-risk ER+ patients instead of assuming chemo is the only option.
  • Discuss the NRG009 trial context when counseling about chemo benefit uncertainty in 11–25 recurrence scores.
INSIGHT

Adjuvant CDK4/6 Benefits Are Trial-Dependent

  • Adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors show IDFS benefit in selected high-risk patients but OS data are immature.
  • MonarchE (abemaciclib) and NATALIE (ribociclib) enrolled different high-risk cohorts so results aren't directly interchangeable.
