Should a Multigene Signature be Used in all Luminal Early Breast Cancers.

ABSTRACT: Background: Multigene signatures refine the risk of recurrence and guide adjuvant chemotherapy decision in luminal breast cancers. The decision to perform the assay is highly variable among oncologists. In order to guide the appropriate clinical group in whom to perform a genomic signature, our study analyzed in a homogeneous cohort which clinical risk groups triggered the use of the PAM50-based signature and their concordance with the genomic risk. Methods: A real life cohort of 222 early breast cancer patients with hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative disease had a commercial PAM50-based assay (Prosigna®) performed at our institution. The assay provided the risk group, the 10-year risk of distant recurrence and the intrinsic molecular subtype of breast cancer. Res
