Abstract

All patients with invasive breast cancer should be evaluated for the need for adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy, trastuzumab, and/or endocrine therapy. When indicated, adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy should begin 2–8 weeks following surgery. If adjuvant endocrine (either tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor (AI)) and cytotoxic therapy are indicated, chemotherapy should precede endocrine therapy. Older age is not a contraindication for cytotoxic chemotherapy. Lymph node positivity should not be the sole indication for adjuvant chemotherapy; however, patients with more than three involved lymph nodes, low hormone receptor positivity, HER2-positive status, triple-negative status, and a high multigene recurrence score should receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
