ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The authors aimed to evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of androgen receptor (AR) expression in patients with luminal/human EGFR2 negative (HER2-) T1N0 breast cancer.Methods:
The cohort in this retrospective study comprised 471 patients with luminal/HER2- T1N0 breast cancer who had undergone surgery between 2013 and 2017 in the authors' center.Results:
AR+ tumors were associated with favorable characteristics. AR+ patients had better 5-year recurrence-free survival rates and the risk of recurrence was greater for AR- than for AR+ patients. AR- status predicted the failure of adjuvant endocrine therapy with aromatase inhibitors and of adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide.Conclusion:
AR+ expression is significantly related to a better prognosis. AR expression may be an additional biomarker for both endocrine and chemotherapy responsiveness.Key words
