Background: The PROMIS trial (NCT01617954) previously evaluated how a definitive result from the MammaPrint 70-gene signature (70-GS) can impact treatment recommendations for patients with an intermediate range recurrence score (RS 18-30) from the 21-gene assay (21-GA, Oncotype DX). Since publication of this study, TAILORx results published in 2018 (and further explored in June 2019) suggested an interaction between the 21-GA, patient age (≤50 yrs), and clinical risk. Initially, chemotherapy (CT) was recommended for all women ≤50 with a RS&gt;16. Based on the recent clinical-risk analysis, Ovarian Function Suppression (OFS) + endocrine therapy (ET) has been suggested as an alternative treatment for low clinical risk (clin-low) women ≤50yrs with an RS 16-25. This current analysis examines the updated treatment recommendations based on the interaction between patient age and clinical risk, and explores the impact that the 70-GS can have on adjuvant chemotherapy decisions for women ≤50 years of age. Methods: 70-GS risk of recurrence was determined for 21-GA intermediate patients by standard diagnostic testing (Agendia, Irvine, CA). Clinical risk was assessed using the MINDACT, modified Adjuvant Online! algorithm (Cardoso, NEJM 2016). The 70-GS High and Low Risk classification were subdivided by RS groups 18-20, 21-25, and 26-30 and by clinical risk stratification. Results: 181 patients in PROMIS were ≤50 yrs. Of those, 64% (116/181) were clin-low, and 35% (63/181) were high clinical risk (clin-high) (2 unknown). Among patients ≤50 yrs with RS 18-20, 60% (27/45) of clin-low and 56% (15/27) of clin-high were found to be 70-GS Low Risk. Among patients with RS 21-25, 55% (30/55) of clin-low and 30% clin-high (8/26) were Low Risk by the 70-GS. For patients ≤50 yrs with RS 26-30, 15% (4/27) were found to be 70-GS Low Risk. Of all patients with RS 26-30, 21% (32/156) were Low Risk by 70-GS. Conclusions: With the follow-up publication for TAILORx, incorporation of clinical risk in addition to age, RS group, and the assumed benefit of chemotherapy-induced menopause, has presented additional layers of complexity for physicians treating breast cancer. The current analysis demonstrates that 46% of women ≤ 50yrs with a RS 21-25 are 70-GS Low Risk, and based upon the prospective, randomized MINDACT* trial data, can safely avoid CT. Overall, the 70-GS can precisely identify 20-60% of women ≤ 50yrs with intermediate RS (18-30) as genomic Low Risk with excellent survival with ET alone (&gt;95% 5-yr DMFI [MINDACT]), who may otherwise be candidates for treatment with CT or OFS. *(Microarray in Node Negative and 1-3 Lymph Node Positive Disease May Avoid Chemotherapy)
