Abstract 10P
Background
Multi-gene expression tests have been widely accepted as risk-prediction tools in early-stage HR-positive and HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (EBC) after surgery. This study compared the performance of the 28-gene panel that developed from the Asian breast cancer population with the 70-gene panel in Chinese women with EBC.
Methods
Pts with EBC, previously undergone 70-gene testing after primary surgery from Jan 2019 to Oct 2022 were enrolled. FFPE of primary breast tumors were collected for 28-gene testing. Clinicopathological risk factors such as diagnosed age ≤40y, ≥T2, N1, LVI positive, grade III, Ki-67≥ 20% were included in the final analyses. Pts with clinicopathological risk factors ≥2 were clinical high-risk (n=48); others were low-risk (n=51).
Results
A total of 99 Chinese pts with EBC (pT1-2N0-1 or pT3N0M0) were enrolled in this study, with a median diagnosed age of 52 years (29-74 years). The median follow-up period was 38 months, and the last follow-up date was June 20, 2023. Two pts were lost to follow-up, but none recurred or died. The 28-gene and 70-gene panels detected high-risk pts (26% vs. 34%) and low-risk (73% vs. 65%), respectively. The overall agreement of the two tests was 72% (71/99). In addition, the 28-gene panel showed higher consistency with clinical-risk prediction than the 70-gene panel (Kappa: 0.51 vs. 0.39). Among them, the consistency of the 28-gene panel and 70-gene panel with the low clinical-risk prediction was 98% (50/51) and 84% (43/51), respectively; the high-risk prediction was 47% (25/48) and 54% (26/48), respectively.

Risk prediction comparison of 28-gene and 70-gene panels
| Characteristic | 28-gene (%) | Kappa | 70-gene (%) | Kappa | |||
| High-risk | Low-risk | High-risk | Low-risk | ||||
| Clinical | High-risk | 25(25) | 23(23) | 0.51 | 26(26) | 22(22) | 0.39 |
| Low-risk | 1(1) | 50(51) | P<0.001 | 8(8) | 43(43) | P<0.001 | |
| Total | 26(26) | 73(74) | 99(100) | 34(34) | 65(66) | 99(100) |
Conclusions
The performance of the 28-gene panel in risk prediction of EBC was comparable with the 70-gene panel. The 28-gene panel could identify a more low-risk population in Chinese breast cancer pts. An enlarged sample size and longer follow-up for clinical outcomes will further confirm our conclusions.
