TILs Immunophenotype in Breast Cancer Predicts Local Failure and Overall Survival: Analysis in a Large Radiotherapy Trial with Long-Term Follow-Up.


ABSTRACT: AIM:To determine the prognostic significance of the immunophenotype of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) within a cohort of breast cancer patients with long-term follow-up. METHODS:Multiplexed immunofluorescence and automated image analysis were used to assess the expression of CD3, CD8, CD20, CD68, Fox P3, PD-1 and PD-L1 in a clinical trial of local excision and radiotherapy randomised to a cavity boost or not (n = 485, median follow-up 16 years). Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariate analysis (MVA) methodology were used to ascertain relationships with local recurrence (LR), overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). NanoString BC360 gene expression panel was applied to a subset of luminal patients to identify pathways associated with LR. RESULTS:LR was predicted by low CD8 in MVA in the whole cohort (HR 2.34, CI 1.4-4.02, p = 0.002) and luminal tumours (HR 2.19, CI 1.23-3.92, p = 0.008) with associations with increased stromal components, decreased Tregs (FoxP3), inflammatory chemokines and SOX2. Poor OS was associated with low CD20 in the whole cohort (HR 1.73, CI 1.2-2.4, p = 0.002) and luminal tumours on MVA and low PD-L1 in triple-negative cancer (HR 3.44, CI 1.5-7, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS:Immunophenotype adds further prognostic data to help further stratify risk of LR and OS even in TILs low-luminal tumours.
