TL;DR
Only 15% to 20% of patients are assigned to a "low/minimal risk" subset and this may result in many women with early breast cancer being over-treated – a phenomenon that not only exposes these women to unnecessary toxicity, but also increases the economic burden of this frequent disease on society.

Survival analyses on a subcohort of patients with locally advanced breast cancer uniformly treated in a prospective study showed significantly different outcomes for the patients belonging to the various groups, including a poor prognosis for the basal-like subtype and a significant difference in outcome for the two estrogen receptor-positive groups.

DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

The gene-expression profile studied is a more powerful predictor of the outcome of disease in young patients with breast cancer than standard systems based on clinical and histologic criteria.

The results strongly support the idea that many of these breast tumor subtypes represent biologically distinct disease entities.

Gene expression patterns were found to be strongly associated with estrogen receptor (ER) status and moderately associated with grade, but not associated with menopausal status, nodal status, or tumor size, in an unselected group of 99 node-negative and node-positive breast cancer patients.

This account of the highlights of the eighth St Gallen (Switzerland) meeting in 2003 emphasizes new information that has emerged during the 2 years since the seventh meeting in 2001, and highlights the separate nature of endocrine-nonresponsive breast cancer and the promise of newly defined prognostic and predictive markers.

This study supports the suitability of FNA-derived cDNA microarray expression profiling of breast cancers as a comprehensive genomic approach for studying the mechanisms of drug resistance and suggests that these approaches might yield useful results when validated by larger studies.

The predictive capacity of the prognosis classifier cannot be explained by its association with, among other factors, ER status as suggested, and the predictive power of the authors' prognosis reporters may be reduced in an adjuvantly treated patient group.

It may be important to define prognostic expression profiles separately for estrogen receptor-α-positive and estrogen receptors- α-negative tumors, as there is an overlap in those data between the genes that predict outcome and those that predict estrogen receptors status.
