Exploratory Subgroup Analysis for TAILORx and NSABP B-20 indicate that Recurrence Score® and age are the strongest predictors of chemotherapy benefit1. The absolute reduction of distant recurrence from chemotherapy for patients >50 years and ≤50 years is shown here for RS groups: 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25 from TAILORx, and 0-10 and 26-100 from NSABP B-202.

Estimated Chemotherapy Benefit for Individual Recurrence Score Results

Recurrence Score ranges shown reflect randomized patients in NSABP B-20 and TAILORx.
