They may need to look at longer term OS. I have been told HR+ tumors can recur after many years, while triple negative disease seems to recur sooner, but if it doesn't in the first 5 years after diagnosis, chances are that it won't ever recur.

Does anyone have info on that? Have I heard that right?
