Highlight

– The SYSUCC‑001 trial reports a sustained 10‑year disease‑free survival (DFS) benefit with 1 year of metronomic capecitabine versus observation in operable triple‑negative breast cancer (78.1% vs 66.6%; HR 0.61; p=0.0074).

– Distant DFS and locoregional recurrence‑free survival were similarly improved; overall survival (OS) showed a strong trend but did not reach conventional significance at 10 years (HR 0.67; p=0.058).
