Key clinical point: The incidence rate of local recurrence was low even after omitting radiotherapy in women with luminal A breast cancer (BC) age ≥55 years who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by endocrine therapy.

Major finding: At 5 years, the cumulative incidence of local recurrence was low (2.3%; 95% CI 1.2%-4.1%), with 1.9% of patients (90% CI 1.1%-3.2%) reporting contralateral BC recurrences and 2.7% of patients (90% CI 1.6%-4.1%) reporting recurrences of any type.

Study details: This prospective cohort study included 500 women with T1N0 (tumor size < 2 cm and node negative) luminal A BC age ≥ 55 years who had undergone BCS followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy.

Disclosures: This study was supported by the Canadian Cancer Society and Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Some authors declared serving as consultants or members of data safety and monitoring boards or having ties with various sources.
