Lymph node involvement: Positive about the role of the recurrence score in estrogen-driven breast cancer?

Cancer. 2019 Jan 15;125(2):177-180. doi: 10.1002/cncr.31814. Epub 2018 Nov 2.

Abstract

It remains unclear whether there is clinical utility for withholding chemotherapy in HR+/HER2-, node-positive breast cancer based upon the 21-gene Recurrence Score. While we await the results from randomized, phase III trials, this editorial addresses additional observational data that suggest there may be a role for this genomic assay in this patient population.
