Kim et al completed a pooled analysis of 8 National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project trials and highlight that, when compared with White patients, Black patients with estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer have worse distant recurrence‐free survival, especially in the setting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy when pathologic complete response is not achieved. This editorial highlights that, to comprehend the drivers of this disparity, we must have more robust definitions of ER+ breast cancer and race.
金等人对 8 项美国国家癌症综合网络外科辅助乳腺与肠道项目试验进行了汇总分析,强调与白人患者相比,雌激素受体阳性(ER+)乳腺癌黑人患者的远处无复发生存更差,尤其是在未达到病理完全缓解的新辅助化疗环境下。这篇社论强调,为了理解这种差异的驱动因素,我们必须对 ER+乳腺癌和种族有更严格的定义。
