Residual cancer burden index, abbreviated RCB, is an empirical predictor of outcome in breast cancer in the post-neoadjuvant therapy setting.[1]

Definition

The RCB index is defined as:[2]

Where:

The inputs to are:

Interpretation

The original paper stratified patients into three groups using two cut-points:[2]

  • Low risk (RCB-I): RCB > 0 and < 1.36.
  • Intermediate risk (RCB-II): RCB > 1.36 and < 3.28.
  • High risk (RCB-III): RCB > 3.28.

If one includes the group without any residual disease, there are four groups: RCB-0, RCB-I, RCB-II, RCB-III.
