The issue in ER+ breast cancer Substantial continuing risk of recurrence for at least 15 years after 5 years of endocrine therapy The risk may be reduced by extending therapy (toxicity) Which patients have sufficient residual risk to potentially benefit? Which patients have very low risk of late recurrence where extended therapy can be omitted?

Multigeneassays Need to show accurate prediction of late recurrence Rate of late recurrence can be reduced by extended therapy Need to demonstrate independent prognostic value above and beyond clinical parameters Combined model (molecular and clinical) might be most helpful in the decision making process
Comparison of prognostic signatures in transatac Aims: 1. Prognostic performance of six signatures for distant recurrence in N- and N+ separately in transatac in absence of chemotherapy: In years 5-10 (extended endocrine therapy) 2. Added prognostic value of signatures to clinical variables Sestak et al., 2017, Cancer Res; 77(4): S6-05

Summary I Clinical parameters (nodal status and size) important for prediction of late recurrence ROR, BCI, EPclin: Provide additional prognostic information concerning the likelihood of recurrence >5 years after surgery Node-negative only ROR/EPclinscore show highest level of evidence for late recurrence as validated in large phase III biomarker samples/studies (Level I, Simon et al. JNCI, 2009; 101(21):1446-1452)
Summary II Low risk groups by any assay are very unlikely to benefit from extended endocrine therapy In clinical low risk group High risk groups by ROR and EPclingood candidates for extended endocrine therapy Irrespective of clinical risk group Incorporation of certain clinical variables important Combined model best for prediction of late recurrence Guidelines do not support use of multigeneassays for predication of late distant recurrence
Future directions Specific signatures for predicting late recurrence needed Individual gene analysis for late recurrence (PAM50 and EP) transatac Development of CTSP5 transatac/big1-98 Circulating tumour cells, ctdna, microrna In development and clinical utility needs to be established Outstanding issues: TNBC Premenopausal women
