Understanding Recurrence: High-Risk Features for Patients With Early Breast Cancer
Early breast cancer (EBC) recurrence: some clinical features of high-risk disease
Patients with hormone receptor–positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) EBC at high risk of recurrence may present with 1-3 positive ALNs with grade 3 disease or tumor size ≥5 cm, or ≥4 positive ALNs,.1
Factors associated with a high risk of early breast cancer recurrence include 1 to 3 positive ALNs with grade 3 disease or tumor size greater than or equal to 5 cm or greater than or equal to 4 positive ALNs.
