Synopsis: In a clinical, independent setting the value of the residual cancer burden (RCB) predictive performance was assessed. The authors confirm the RCB score as externally valid prognostic marker independent of molecular subtype for relapse-free survival and overall survival.

Evaluation of the 12-Gene Molecular Score and the 21-Gene Recurrence Score as Predictors of Response to Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy in Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer. Ann Surg Oncol 27, 765–771 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-019-08039-7
Synopsis: Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy may facilitate complete surgical resection in breast cancer. Using microarray data, two commercial breast cancer prognostic scores (12-gene MS and 21-gene RS) were significant predictors of response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, though the 12-gene MS outperformed the 21-gene RS.

ASO – The Leading Resource in Surgical Oncology
Annals of Surgical Oncology (ASO) hails 2019 as a year of growth and influence with a 13% increase in editorials, the addition of a two new editorial sections and the introduction of “ASO Author Reflections.” ASO also had more than 1 million article downloads, a demonstration of the quality and relevance of the research published. Read more about ASO.
ASO is the journal of choice of surgical oncologists and cancer multidisciplinary teams worldwide regarding surgical oncology research and education, and benefits surgeons, oncologists, hematologists, radiologists, general practitioners, pathologists, researchers, academicians, and other clinical professionals interested in all aspects of the surgical treatment of cancer. ASO strives to improve the practice environment in which high-quality surgical oncology care is delivered, to enhance the quality of life and survival of the surgical patient with cancer.
