ABSTRACT: Purpose
We sought to determine the significant genomic alterations in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), and survival outcomes in common genotypes.Patients and methods
High-depth next generation sequencing was performed for 202 genes in tumor and normal DNA from 257 patients with MBC, including 165 patients with ER/PR+ HER2- (hormone receptor positive, HR+ positive), 32 patients with HER2+ and 60 patients with triple negative (ER/PR/HER2-) cancer. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was performed in our discovery set, in breast cancer patients analyzed in The Cancer Genome Atlas, and in a separate cohort of 98 patients with MBC who underwent clinical genomic testing.Results
Significantly mutated genes (SMGs) varied by histology and tumor subtype, but TP53 was a SMG in all three subtypes. The most SMGs in HR+ patients included PIK3CA (32%), TP53 (29%), GATA3 (15%), CDH1 (8%), MAP3K1 (8%), PTEN (5%), TGFBR2 (4%), AKT1 (4%), and MAP2K4 (4%). TP53 mutations were associated with shorter recurrence-free survival (P=0.004), progression-free survival (P=0.00057) and overall survival (P=0.003). Further, TP53 status was prognostic among HR+ patients with PIK3CA mutations. TP53 mutations were also associated with poorer overall survival in the 442 HR+ breast cancer patients in the TCGA (P=0.042) and in an independent set of 96 HR+ MBC who underwent clinical sequencing (P=0.0004).Conclusions
SMGs differ by tumor subtype but TP53 is significantly mutated in all three breast cancer subtypes. TP53 mutations are associated with poor prognosis in HR+ breast cancer. TP53 mutations should be considered in the design and interpretation of precision oncology trials.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Previous studies on the role of TP53 mutation in breast cancer treatment response and survival are contradictory and inconclusive, limited by the use of different endpoints to determine clinical significance and by small sample sizes that prohibit stratification by treatment. METHODS:We utilized large datasets to examine overall survival according to TP53 mutation status in patients across multiple clinical features and treatments. RESULTS:Confirming other studies, we found that in all patients and in hormone therapy-treated patients, TP53 wild-type status conferred superior 5-year overall survival, but survival curves crossed at 10 or more years. In contrast, further stratification within the large dataset revealed that in patients receiving chemotherapy and no hormone therapy, wild-type TP53 status conferred remarkably poor overall survival. This previously unrecognized inferior survival is consistent with p53 inducing arrest/senescence instead of apoptosis. Addition of hormone therapy to chemotherapy improved survival notably in patients with TP53 wild-type tumors, but not mutant, suggesting hormone therapy could eradicate arrested/senescent cells. Testing this, we found that estrogen receptor-positive, TP53 wild-type breast cancer cells that were made senescent by doxorubicin treatment were sensitive to tamoxifen. CONCLUSIONS:The poor survival of chemotherapy-treated patients with TP53 wild-type tumors may be improved by strategies to eliminate senescent cells, including the addition of hormone therapy when appropriate.

Project description:Background: Gene expression profiling of breast carcinomas has increased our understanding of the heterogeneous biology of this disease and promises to impact clinical care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of gene expression-based classification along with established prognostic markers and mutation status of the TP53 gene, in a group of breast cancer patients with long-term (12-16 years) follow-up. Methods: The clinical and histopathological parameters of 200 breast cancer patients were studied for their effects on clinical outcome using univariate/multivariate Cox regression. The prognostic impact of mutations in the TP53 gene, identified using TTGE and sequencing, was also evaluated. Eighty of the samples were analyzed for gene expression using 42K cDNA microarrays and the patients were assigned to five previously defined molecular expression groups. The strength of the gene expression based classification versus standard markers was evaluated by adding this variable to the Cox regression model used to analyze all samples. Results: Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that TP53 mutation status, tumor size and lymph node status were the strongest predictors of breast cancer survival for the whole group of patients. Analyses of the patients with gene expression data showed that TP53 mutation status, gene expression based classification, tumor size and lymph node status were significant predictors of survival. The TP53 mutation status showed strong association with the ?basal-like? and ?ERBB2+? gene expression subgroups, and tumors with mutation had a characteristic gene expression pattern. Conclusions: TP53 mutation status and gene-expression based groups are important survival markers of breast cancer, and these molecular markers may provide prognostic information that complements clinical variables. The study adds experience and knowledge to an ongoing characterization and classification of the disease. Experiment set consisting of 80 primary breast carcinomas collected at Ulleval University Hospital (ULL-samples), Oslo, Norway from 1990-94, and one normal sample from breast reduction surgery.

Breast cancer cases in the 'basal-like' and 'ERBB2+' gene expression subgroups had a very high mortality the first two years, while the 'highly proliferating luminal' cases developed the disease more slowly, showing highest mortality after 5 to 8 years. The TP53 mutation status showed strong association with the 'basal-like' and 'ERBB2+' subgroups, and tumors with mutation had a characteristic gene expression pattern.ConclusionTP53 mutation status and gene-expression based groups are important survival markers of breast cancer, and these molecular markers may provide prognostic information that complements clinical variables.

Project description:The outcomes and best treatment strategies for germline BRCA1/2 mutation (gBRCAm) carriers with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remain uncertain. We compared the overall survival and the first line progression free survival (PFS1) of patients with a gBRCAm identified at initiation of first-line treatment with those of BRCA wild-type (WT) and not-tested (NT) individuals in the ESME real-world database of MBC patients between 2008 and 2016 (NCT03275311). Among the 20 624 eligible patients, 325 had a gBRCAm, 1138 were WT and 19 161 NT. Compared with WT, gBRCAm carriers were younger, and had more aggressive diseases. At a median follow-up of 50.5 months, median OS was 30.6 (95%CI: 21.9-34.3), 35.8 (95%CI: 32.2-37.8) and 39.3 months (95% CI: 38.3-40.3) in the gBRCAm, WT and NT subgroups, respectively. Median PFS1 was 7.9 (95%CI: 6.6-9.3), 7.8 (95%CI: 7.3-8.5) and 9.7 months (95%CI, 9.5-10.0). In the multivariable analysis conducted in the whole cohort, gBRCAm status had however no independent prognostic impact on OS and PFS1. Though, in the triple-negative subgroup, gBRCAm patients had better OS and PFS1 (HR vs WT = 0.76; 95%CI: 0.60-0.97; P = .027 and 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55-0.86; P = .001, respectively). In contrast, in patients with HR+/HER2 negative cancers, PFS1 appeared significantly and OS non significantly lower for gBRCAm carriers (PFS1: HR vs WT = 1.23; 95%CI: 1.03-1.46; P = .024; OS:HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.97-1.52, P = .089). In conclusion, gBRCA1/2 status appears to have divergent survival effects in MBC according to IHC subtype.

Project description:Neuroendocrine differentiation of tumor tissue has been recognized as an important prerequisite for new targeted therapies. To evaluate the suitability of colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue for these treatment approaches and to find a possible link to pretherapeutic conditions of other targeted strategies, we compared neuroendocrine differentiation and KRAS/NRAS/BRAF/PIK3CA/TP53 mutational status in primary and metastatic CRC. Immunohistochemical expression analysis of neuroendocrine markers chromogranin A and synaptophysin was performed on archival CRC tissue, comprising 116 primary tumors, 258 lymph node metastases and 72 distant metastases from 115 patients. All CRC samples but 30 distant metastases were subjected to mutation analysis of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and TP53. Neuroendocrine marker expression was found significantly less frequently in lymph node metastases compared to primary tumors and distant metastases (20%, 31%, 28%, respectively, P = 0.044). KRAS mutation rates increased significantly from primary tumors to lymph node metastases and distant metastases within the neuroendocrine negative CRC group (44%, 53%, 64%, respectively, P = 0.042). Neuroendocrine differentiation was significantly less concordant than KRAS/NRAS/BRAF/PIK3CA/TP53 mutational status in primary tumor/lymph node metastases pairs (65% versus 88%-99%; P < 0.0001) and primary tumor/distant metastases pairs (64% versus 83%-100%; P = 0.027 and P < 0.0001, respectively). According to these data, therapeutic targeting of neuroendocrine tumor cells can be considered only for a subset of CRC patients and biopsies from the metastatic site should be used to guide therapy. A possible importance of lacking neuroendocrine differentiation for progression of KRAS mutant CRC should be further investigated.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains incurable, advances in therapies have improved survival. Using a contemporary dataset of de novo MBC patients, we explore how overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) changed over time.MethodsAll patients with de novo MBC from 1988 to 2016 were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18. Unadjusted OS and CSS were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and stratified by disease characteristics. Cox proportional hazards models determined factors associated with survival.Results47,034 patients were included, with median OS of 25 months and CSS of 27 months. Survival steadily improved over time (1988: 1-year OS 62%, CSS 65%; 2015: 1-year OS 72%, CSS 74%). Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) had the worst prognosis and were most likely to die from MBC [versus human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ and hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2-]. Those with ≥ 4 sites of metastatic disease were also more likely to die from MBC with nearly identical OS and CSS (5-year OS 9%, CSS 9%), when compared with those with 1 site (5-year OS 31%, CSS 35%). After adjustment, improved CSS was associated with bone-only disease [hazard ratio (HR) 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-0.94], while TNBC (versus HER2+: HR 3.12, 95% CI 2.89-3.36) and > 3 sites of metastatic disease (versus 1 site: HR 3.24, 95% CI 2.68-3.91) were associated with worse CSS (all p < 0.001).ConclusionsAccurate prognostic estimates are essential for patient care. As treatments for patients with MBC have expanded, OS and CSS have improved, and more patients, particularly with limited distant disease or favorable tumor subtypes, are also dying from non-MBC causes.

Project description:Colorectal cancer presents via multiple different clinical phenotypes that can arise from a variety of different genetic and molecular alterations. The aim of this study was to describe survival outcomes and treatment patterns of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients by v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutation status. The Alberta Cancer Registry was used to identify all patients >18 years old who had been diagnosed with mCRC in Alberta between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019 and had received at least one cycle of systemic therapy. Treatment patterns were compared between wild-type and mutant BRAF mCRC patients. Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier curves were created to assess survival differences by both treatment pattern and BRAF status. A total of 488 patients were identified with mCRC, of which 42 (11.4%) were confirmed to have a BRAF mutation. The most common first-line treatment regimen was either capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) or leucovorin calcium (folinic acid), fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). The median overall survival for mCRC patients was 20.01 months. Mutant BRAF patients had a median survival of 8.21 months compared to 20.03 months among those with wild-type BRAF. BRAF mutations among mCRC patients are associated with a considerably poor prognosis, reinforcing the need for clinical BRAF testing among newly diagnosed patients to better understand their prognosis.

Project description:Race and socioeconomic factors affect outcomes in breast cancer. We aimed to assess the effect of race and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) on overall survival and treatment patterns in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This is a retrospective cohort study involving patients (N = 1246) with distant breast cancer metastases diagnosed at UPMC Magee Women's Breast Cancer Clinic from 2000-2017. Overall survival and treatment patterns were compared between races (Blacks and whites) and SES groups (defined using Area Deprivation Index). Low SES, but not tumor characteristics, was associated with Black race (P < 0.001) in the study population. Low SES (Median [Interquartile Range, IQR] survival 2.3[2.2-2.5] years vs high SES 2.7[2.5-3.1] years, P = 0.01) and Black race (Median [IQR] survival 1.8[1.3-2.3] years, vs white 2.5[2.3-2.7] years P = 0.008) separately were associated with worse overall survival in patients with MBC. In the Cox Proportional Hazard model with SES, race, age, subtype, number of metastases, visceral metastasis, and year of diagnosis as covariates, low SES (Hazard ratio 1.19[1.04-1.35], P = 0.01), but not Black race (Hazard ratio 1.19[0.96-1.49], P = 0.12), independently predicted overall survival in MBC. Moreover, patients from low SES neighborhoods and Black race received fewer lines of chemotherapy than high SES and whites. In conclusion, low neighborhood SES is associated with worse outcomes in patients with MBC. Poor outcomes in Black patients with MBC, at least in part is driven by socioeconomic factors. Future studies should delineate the interplay between neighborhood SES, race, and their effects on tumor biology in MBC.
