Introduction: Oncotype DX is a 21 gene assay which has been shown to be useful in predicting the risk of breast cancer recurrence. TAILORx trial compared survival with the use of hormonal therapy (HT) vs. chemo-hormonal therapy (CHT) in early-stage, Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, axillary lymphnode-negative breast cancer who had an Oncotype DX recurrence score in the intermediate range (11-25), The study found HT to be non-inferior to CHT in that group, especially in women older than 50. Materials and methods: We studied 1084 patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER-2 negative early stage breast cancer at a multi-center setting in South Dakota and North Dakota who were diagnosed one year before and after the results of the TAILORx trial were presented. We aimed to identify any change in practice after the trial was published as compared to the year prior. Chi-square analysis was used to compare demographics of patients and management practices before and after the TAILORx trial publication. Results: We did not find any statistically significant change in Oncotype DX testing frequency across various age groups, tumor sizes, tumor grades or amongst patients who had lymphnode negative or one axillary lymph node positive disease (Table-1).We also did not find any statistically significant difference in management of early stage breast cancer patients (Table-2) that matched our inclusion criteria and had an intermediate risk Oncotype Dx score of 11-25(n=266). Conclusion: Our results indicate that management of early stage breast cancer at our center was not significantly impacted by the results of TAILORx. Rare use of CHT prior to TAILORx reporting suggests that practice prior to this trial was largely based on earlier trials suggesting minimal benefit for CHT in the intermediate risk group. Larger studies may be able to identify smaller changes in practice resulting from this study and should be pursued.
