Molecular Prognostic Factors for Distant Metastases in Premenopausal Patients with HR+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Molecular factors that drive metastasis in premenopausal patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-), early breast cancer (EBC) are largely unknown. To identify markers/signatures contributing to metastasis, we analyzed molecular changes in tumors from premenopausal patients who developed metastasis (M1) and who did not (M0). Ninety-seven premenopausal patients with HR+/HER2- EBC were included (M1, n = 48, median distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS): 54 (7-184) months; M0, n = 49, median follow-up: 149 (121-191) months). Gene expression profiling on tumor RNA (Breast Cancer 360TM panel, Nanostring) was performed, followed by comprehensive bioinformatic and statistical analyses. Significantly enhanced ROR (risk of recurrence) s
