Abstract

To determine the most suitable strategy in treating patients with invasive breast cancer from Northwest China. Lower recurrence score (RS) correlated with lower recurrence ratio. Patients having a medium-high 21-gene RS who received adjuvant therapy presented lower recurrence risk. Younger patients having RS results (⩾31) tended to accept adjuvant therapy more often, however, those having intermediate RS results were inclined to wait and did not receive chemotherapy. These results suggested that RS-based precision medicine will allow individualized diagnosis and treatment, resulting in better outcomes and preserved medical resources.
