HER2-positive early breast cancer is a heterogenous disease. We assessed the role of body mass index (BMI) and hormone receptors (HRs) in 238 women who completed adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 year of treatment with trastuzumab. Three-year recurrence risk resulted as higher for HR-negative (HR−) patients with BMI ≥25 compared with HR+ patients with BMI <25, suggesting that this particular subpopulation of patients might benefit from escalation approaches in adjuvant treatment.

Abstract

HER2-positive early breast cancer is a heterogenous disease. We assessed the role of body mass index (BMI) and hormone receptors (HRs) in 238 women who completed adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 year of treatment with trastuzumab. Three-year recurrence risk resulted as higher for HR-negative (HR−) patients with BMI ≥25 compared with HR+ patients with BMI <25, suggesting that this particular subpopulation of patients might benefit from escalation approaches in adjuvant treatment.
