What Types of Breast Cancer Have the Highest Recurrence Rates?
From: healthline.com Key takeaways Aggressive forms of breast cancer, specifically inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), have a higher likelihood of recurring. Besides the type of breast cancer, other factors such as tumor size, stage at diagnosis, and personal factors like age and weight can also impact the risk of recurrence.

Low Breast Cancer Recurrence Rate With Radiotherapy Tailored to Nodal Response
By: Charles Bankhead From: medpagetoday.com Ten years after tailored radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer, fewer than 3% of patients had locoregional recurrences (LRR), most during the first 5 years, a Dutch registry study showed. The overall LRR of 2.9% did not differ significantly across subgroups of patients with low-, intermediate-, or high-risk disease or between the risk groups. Both the …
Novel endocrine therapy reduces the risk of breast cancer recurrence
By Denise Heady, MA From: uclahealth.org In an international study led by UCLA, researchers have shown that giredestrant, a next-generation oral selective estrogen receptor antagonist and degrader (SERD), when given as an adjuvant therapy for early-stage (1-3) hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, significantly lowered the risk of the disease returning when compared with standard hormone therapies long considered the …
High risk of metastatic recurrence among young cancer patients
By Stephanie Winn From: ucdavis.edu A new study of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with seven common cancers reveals that nearly one in ten patients diagnosed with non-metastatic disease later develop metastatic recurrence — a condition associated with significantly worse survival outcomes. Metastasis is when cancer cells spread from the initial or primary site to other parts of the body. UC Davis …
Adjuvant Endocrine/Radiation Therapy May Limit Breast Cancer Recurrence
By: Russ Conroy From: cancernetwork.com Administering endocrine therapy or radiation to patients with early-stage breast cancer in the adjuvant setting may reduce locoregional recurrence (LRR) rates, according to findings from a cohort study published in JAMA Network Open.1 Based on univariate analysis, receipt of adjuvant radiotherapy correlated with significantly lower odds of LRR (HR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.08-0.52; P <.001), …
Real-World Data Tie Early Breast Cancer ctDNA to Recurrence, Lower OS
By: Jax DiEugenio From: oncnursingnews.com Findings from a real-world analysis using data from the Flatiron Health Research Database linked positive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) with lower overall survival (OS) and higher risk of recurrence in patients with early-stage breast cancer regardless of subtype, per a presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Among 4,639 patients (2.4% …

Switch to Experimental Drug after Liquid Biopsy Detection of Breast Cancer Recurrence Improves Outcomes
From: cornell.edu A large prospective, randomized clinical trial in patients with advanced breast cancer has found that the use of liquid biopsy blood tests for early detection of a treatment-resistance mutation, followed by a switch to a new type of treatment, substantially extends the period of tumor control compared to standard care. The SERENA-6 study, published June 1 in the …
