OPTIMA: Prosigna-Guided Chemotherapy Avoidance Shows Non-Inferior Outcomes in ER+/HER2− Early Breast Cancer
oncodaily - OPTIMA is one of the most important de-escalation studies presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, because it addresses a daily clinical dilemma in early breast cancer: which patients truly […]
AI Summary: The OPTIMA trial demonstrated that using the Prosigna genomic test to select low‑risk ER+/HER2− early breast cancer patients allows omission of adjuvant chemotherapy without compromising disease control. The de‑escalation approach reduced exposure to chemo toxicity and supports molecular risk stratification to spare large numbers of patients unnecessary treatment — elegant, evidence‑based thrift.
