Correct answer: DPremenopausal participants with scores 0–25 showed benefit from chemoendocrine treatment

RxPONDER studied hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative cancer with one to three positive nodes and recurrence scores up to 25. Premenopausal participants benefited from chemoendocrine therapy, unlike the postmenopausal group overall. The original stem was node-negative yet invoked a node-positive trial, making its inference invalid.
