                      | 高度風險 | 
                        有1-3顆的淋且巴結轉移,且HER2/neu 基因過度表現有≥4顆的淋巴結轉移 |     內在的乳癌分子亞型分類法:(St Gallen 2009/2011/2013)進一步加上乳癌腫瘤細胞的基因分析,來為每位乳癌病患『量身訂製』其治療處方的治療指引:

                  | Endocrine nonresponsive: Apocrine,    Medullary, Adenoid cystic, Metaplastic carcinomas  | Cytotoxics  | Adenoid cystic carcinoma may not require    adjuvant cytotoxics, if N    (-ve) |    以內在的乳癌分子亞型來進一步決定手術後輔助性治療的必要性和選擇適當的治療方式。 
 PAM50 intrinsic subtype prognosis for relapse-free survival (RFS). (無淋巴結轉移、未接受術後輔助性全身性治療者,依其內在的乳癌分子亞型,其乳癌復發率的比較圖)(Joel S. Parker et al: J Clin Oncol 2009; 27 (8):1160-1167. © 2009 by American Society of Clinical Oncology)      乳癌基因組測試: 以乳癌腫瘤細胞的多基因組測試來分析未來乳癌復發的風險:如:Oncotype DX-21, PAM50、等。 NSABP-14臨床試驗遠端轉移的復發率,可用Oncotype Dx的復發評分法(recurrence score,RS)分成: 
                
                  RS < 18,低度復發風險(十年復發率6.8%)
                  RS 18-30,中度復發風險(十年復發率14.3%)
                  RS ≥ 31,高度復發風險(十年腹發率30.5%)
