e12513 Background: Family history (FH) of breast cancer (BC), ovarian cancer (OC), and individual features (IF), like early age of onset, bilateral BC, coexistence of BC and OC, and triple negative BC (TNBC) younger than 50 years, are suspicion criteria of hereditary BC. Although it is assumed in the literature that 15-30% of BC cases can be familial BC (FBC), only 5-10% of BC are hereditary, explained by a germline mutation in BRCA1 or 2. Moreover, there is no international consensus to define FBC (e.g. number of relatives affected, age of onset), in contrast with, e.g. Lynch syndrome and Amsterdam/Bethesda criteria, in order to offer genetic counseling. In Spain, there are not population…

Abstract Background: Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) have a greater risk of relapse than non-TNBC. New therapeutic approaches are needed for these patients (pts). CIBOMA/2004-01_GEICAM/2003-11 is a multinational, randomized phase III trial exploring adjuvant capecitabine (X) after completion of standard treatment in early TNBC pts. Materials and Methods: Patients with operable, node-positive (or node-negative with tumor size ≥ 1 cm), centrally confirmed hormone receptor-negative, HER2-negative early BC, who had received 6–8 cycles (cy) of standard anthracycline and/or taxane-containing chemotherapy or 4 cy of doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide (for node-negative disease) in the (neo)adjuvan…
