    Considering her young age and recurrence score, probably the patient would also benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy

    This is a high risk breast Cancer. I would treat this patient with both Chemotherapy and Hormonal therapy. My choice of Chemotherapy would be AC x4 followed by Tamoxifen for 5 years. I would be curious about the opinions of my peers.

    Adding Taxol to 4 cycles of AC regimen for this patient would be excessive as Taxol is approved for lymph node positive breast cancer which is not the case with this patient's breast Cancer. I would welcome other's comments

    This is a young patient with a high predicted risk of relapse. It is a patient who MUST be definitively cured. Why don't you offer the best chemotherapy possible? In my opinion, she undoubtedly deserves a sequential anthracyclines-taxanes chemotherapy

    I will discuss with patient the option of chemotherapy ACx4 followed by hormone therapy, I believe there is no need for Radiotherapy.
