Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Diagnosed age: 18-75 years. 2. Early-stage invasive breast cancer, pN0-1. 3. Molecular subtype: HR-positive (ER and/or PR positive), HER2-negative. 4. At least five years of follow-up records (including cases with disease progression within five years and documented records). 5. Sufficient FFPE samples for sectioning or frozen samples for RNA extraction and subsequent testing.
Exclusion criteria
1. FFPE samples with tumor content \<20%, and inability to enrich tumor regions through cutting. 2. Insufficient extracted nucleic acid quantity or severe degradation preventing further experiments. 3. Failure in RT-PCR amplification of housekeeping genes. 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Disease-free survival | 10 years | Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the duration from the completion of curative surgery until the first occurrence of any of the following events: local or distant relapse of the breast cancer, development of a new primary cancer, or death from any cause. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | 10 years | Overall survival is defined as the duration from the completion of curative surgery until death from any cause. |
| Distant relapse-free survival | 10 years | Distant relapse-free survival is defined as the duration from the completion of curative surgery until distant relapse of the breast cancer. |
