➤ If a patient has ER/PgR-positive, HER2-negative (node-positive) breast
cancer, the clinician should NOT use the Breast Cancer Index to guide
decisions on adjuvant systemic therapy. (Strong Recommendation; IC-
Ins)

clinician should NOT use the Breast Cancer Index to guide decisions on

Mammostrat
➤ If a patient has ER/PgR-positive, HER2-negative (node-positive or
node-negative) breast cancer, the clinician should NOT use the five-
protein assay (Mammostrat; Clarient, a GE Healthcare company, Aliso

Recommendation; EB-I)
➤ If a patient has HER2-positive breast cancer or TN breast cancer, the
clinician should NOT use the five-protein assay (Mammostrat) to guide
decisions on adjuvant systemic therapy. (Strong Recommendation;IC-Ins)
Immunohistochemistry 4 (IHC4)
➤ If a patient has ER/PgR-positive, HER2-negative (node-positive
or node-negative) breast cancer, the clinician should NOT use

Urokinase Plasminogen Activator and Plasminogen Activator
Inhibitor Type 1
➤ If a patient has ER/PgR-positive, HER2-negative (node-negative) breast
