About this trial
The study aims to establish an Italian registry for the implementation of the use of genomic tests in patients with HR +/HER2- breast cancer at intermediate risk of recurrence after the entry into force of the Ministerial Decree of 18/05/2021. The decree has established the reimbursability of genomic testing for breast cancer patients, thereby influencing clinical decision-making and patient management within Breast Units. In addition, the study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of the use of genomic testing on the type of adjuvant treatment, in terms of change of treatment indication by breast units according to the test result.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
. Age ≥ 18 years
PS ECOG 0-1
Histologically confirmed early breast carcinoma with positivity for hormone receptors (ER+ IHC >10%) and HER2 negative (IHC value 0 1+ and/or FISH not-amplified)
T1-3, N0, M0
Disqualifiers
Low-risk and High-risk patients as defined in the Ministerial Decree of 18/05/21
ER negative and/or HER2 positive tumours
More than 3 lymph nodes involved at clinical/pathological staging
Invasive tumours <2mm evaluated by local pathologists
Trial population
The study is a retrospective and prospective, non-interventional, observational registry-based study that will enroll all patients with ER +/HER2-negative, T1-3 breast cancer with negative axillary lymph nodes or up to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes for whom Breast Units require genomic test to support adjuvant therapy decisions, according to current clinical practice.
