Stage I-III without distant metastasis, see below for eligibility criteria for each subtype 4. Planned, undergoing, or after surgery and standard definitive treatment Standard curative treatments include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, anti-HER2 therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, CDK4/6 inhibitors, etc. Endocrine therapy is not considered. Treatment selection is based on the judgment of the attending physician in accordance with various guidelines. Patients with a high risk of recurrence who cannot be treated with standard systemic drug therapy for any reason, such as age or pre-existing conditions, are eligible if surgery has been performed. 5. Satisfy any definition of high risk of recurrence by subtype below i. ER positive/HER2 negative a. 4 or more lymph node metastases b. 1-3 lymph node metastases with either tumor diameter >=5 cm or histological grade >=3 or Ki-67 >=20% c. Remaining invasive cancer in the breast or axillary lymph nodes at the time of surgery if preoperative chemotherapy was performed d. Diagnosed as high risk of recurrence by polygene assay ii. HER2 positive a. Lymph node metastasis positive b. Tumor diameter >=2 cm c. Remaining invasive cancer in the breast or axillary lymph nodes after preoperative chemotherapy iii. ER/PgR/HER2 negative a. Lymph node metastasis positive b. Tumor diameter >=2 cm c. Remaining invasive cancer in the breast or axillary lymph nodes after preoperative chemotherapy
