Invasive Breast Cancer
SYSTEMIC ADJUVANT TREATMENT - FAVORABLE HISTOLOGIES
w
Evidence supports that the magnitude of benefit from surgical or radiation ovarian ablation in premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer
is similar to that achieved with CMF alone. Early evidence suggests similar benefits from ovarian suppression (ie, LHRH agonist) as from ovarian ablation.
The combination of ovarian ablation/suppression plus endocrine therapy may be superior to suppression alone. The benefit of ovarian ablation/suppression in
premenopausal women who have received adjuvant chemotherapy is uncertain.
x
Chemotherapy and endocrine therapy used as adjuvant therapy should be given sequentially with endocrine therapy following chemotherapy. Available data suggest
that sequential or concurrent endocrine therapy with radiation therapy is acceptable.
y
There are limited data to make chemotherapy recommendations for those >70 y old. Treatment should be individualized with consideration of comorbid conditions.
cc
If ER-positive, consider endocrine therapy for risk reduction and to diminish the small risk of disease recurrence.
