Popis: Abstract Adjuvant therapy for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, node-positive, early breast cancer (EBC) remains challenging. The prognostic significance of HER2-low positivity in these patients is not fully understood. In our retrospective study, we analyzed 647 patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive EBC, stratifying them into three cohorts based on axillary lymph node involvement, tumor size, and characteristics. Cohort 1 included patients with either ≥ 4 positive axillary lymph nodes or 1–3 positive nodes with histological grade 3 or tumor size ≥ 5 cm. Cohort 2 consisted of patients with 1–3 positive nodes, histological grade
