This Clinical Trial is a Retrospective, Multicenter Cohort Study Evaluating the Real-world Characteristics and Risk of Disease Recurrence in Hormone Receptor-positive, HER2-negative Early Breast Cancer.
South Korea100,000 participantsStarted 2025-12-17
Plain-language summary
* Primary objective: To describe event-free survival (EFS) in patients with stage I-III HR+/HER2- early breast cancer (EBC) who received curative surgery followed by systemic therapy.
* Secondary objectives: Include assessment of relapse-free survival (RFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), overall survival (OS), site of distant recurrence, and time-to-next treatment (TTNT), as well as evaluating the association between clinicopathologic/treatment variables and clinical outcomes.
* Key inclusion criteria: Adults (≥18 years) with stage I-III HR+/HER2- invasive breast cancer who underwent curative surgery
* Key exclusion criteria: HR- or HER2+ tumors, de novo stage IV, or lack of curative-intent surgery

Inclusion criteria
. Patients (female or male) with a histologically confirmed first diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, identified by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) code C50.x, between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2023.\* The date of diagnosis will be based on the initial pathology report or the date reported to the Korea Central Cancer Registry (KCCR).
. Age 18 years or older at the time of initial diagnosis.
. Anatomical stage I, II, or III disease at initial diagnosis, staged according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual, using the edition contemporary to the time of diagnosis.
. Confirmed HR-positive disease, defined as estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) expression in ≥1% of invasive tumor cells on immunohistochemistry (IHC), or an Allred proportion score of 2 or higher.
. Confirmed HER2-negative disease, defined as an IHC score of 0 or 1+, or an IHC score of 2+ with a negative in situ hybridization (ISH) result (e.g., fluorescence in situ hybridization or silver in situ hybridization). Patients recorded as HER2-negative without a specific score available will also be included.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
