Project description:BACKGROUND:The prospective Neoadjuvant Breast Symphony Trial (NBRST) study found that MammaPrint/BluePrint functional molecular subtype is superior to conventional immunohistochemistry/fluorescence in situ hybridization subtyping for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The purpose of this substudy was to determine if the rate of pCR is affected by tumor size. METHODS:The NBRST study includes breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. MammaPrint/BluePrint subtyping classified patients into four molecular subgroups: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), and Basal type. Probability of pCR (ypT0/isN0) as a function of tumor size and molecular subgroup was evaluated. RESULTS:A total of 608 patients were evaluable with overall pCR rates of 28.5 %. Luminal A and B patients had significantly lower rates of pCR (6.1 and 8.7 %, respectively) than either basal (37.1 %) or HER2 (55.0 %) patients (p < 0.001). The probability of pCR significantly decreased with tumor size >5 cm [p = 0.022, odds ratio (OR) 0.58, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.36, 0.93]. This relationship was statistically significant in the Basal (p = 0.026, OR 0.46, 95 % CI 0.23, 0.91) and HER2 (p = 0.039, OR 0.36, 95 % CI 0.14, 0.95) subgroups. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, the dichotomized tumor size variable was not significant in any of the molecular subgroups. DISCUSSION:Even though tumor size would intuitively be a clinical determinant of pCR, the current analysis showed that the adjusted OR for tumor size was not statistically significant in any of the molecular subgroups. Factors significantly associated with pCR were PR status, grade, lymph node status, and BluePrint molecular subtyping, which had the strongest correlation.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the association of axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) rate among breast cancer patients with pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT).MethodsThe retrospective clinical data of 1,903 patients who were treated with NCT between March, 2010 and December, 2018, were collected from one Chinese database and analyzed. The correlations between clinicopathological characteristics and breast pCR with axillary pCR were calculated by χ2 test. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis. The relative risk of positive axillary nodes after NCT in patients with and without breast pCR was analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test stratified by initial N stage and tumor subtype.ResultsThe rate of axillary pCR was increased in the cases with initial cN0, Ki67 high expression, HR+HER2+/HR-HER2+/TN subtypes, and breast pCR. After NCT, the relative risk of nodal disease burden was 4.81 in patients without breast pCR compared with patients with breast pCR. The relative risk of positive nodal status in patients with cN0, cN1, cN2, and cN3 disease without vs. with breast pCR was 6.45, 4.88, 5.69 and 6.24, respectively. The relative risk of positive nodal status in patients with HR+HER2-, HR+HER2+, HR-HER2+, and TN disease was 4.02, 4.50, 3.82 and 4.18, respectively. Of cN0 patients with breast pCR, only 4 out of 44 (9%) with HER2-positive disease had 1 or 2 axillary lymph node metastases at final surgical pathology compared to 30 out of 98 (31%) of those without breast pCR. There was no evidence of positive nodal residue among all 21 patients (100%) with TN disease compared to 65% (36 of 55) of patients without breast pCR.ConclusionsNodal status is strongly correlated with breast pCR after NCT. Patients with initial cN0/1 TN/HER2 positive disease who achieve breast pCR at surgery have a low risk of nodal metastasis. These results suggest that the failure rate of missing positive lymph nodes among those patients was very low and that it is safe for such patients to undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after NCT. This study also provides a theoretical basis for clinical trials focused on the avoidance of axillary surgery in selected patients.

Project description:BackgroundPatients who achieve a tumor pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have better outcomes than patients with residual tumor. However, tumors still recur in the pCR patients. Therefore, we aim to explore factors associated with tumor recurrence in this patient population.MethodsA total of 1,913 patients diagnosed with breast cancer between 1995 and 2020 and received NAC were included in this analysis. Clinicopathological data of the patients were retrospectively collected. We used Cox regression analysis to assess the associations of clinicopathological factors with patients' outcome. Proteomic study of tumors was applied to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between tumors from the pCR patients with tumor recurrence and tumors from those without tumor recurrence. PPI network analysis of the corresponding genes of DEPs was used to identify the hub genes. The prognostic value of the corresponding genes of DEPs was evaluated using two online databases, Kaplan-Meier Plotter and bc-GenExMiner. The genes that were significantly associated with patients' survival in both databases, as well as being identified as hub genes, were considered as potential prognostic markers for pCR patients. Publicly available data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was used to verify the prognostic value of the identified marker.ResultsAmong the 1,913 included patients, 420 had tumor pCR. The median follow-up for the pCR patients was 32.6 months (IQR, 16.3-55.5). Overall estimated 5-year risk of tumor recurrence for the pCR patients was 11%. Multivariable analysis showed that a higher pre-NAC clinical T stage and N stage were independent predictors for increased risk of tumor recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 2.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-6.51, P=0.047 for clinical T stage and HR 3.48, 95%CI 1.37-8.83, P=0.009 for clinical N stage). NAC regimens, the type of breast and axillary surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy were not associated with tumor recurrence. Finally, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) 3A2 was identified by the proteomic study and was verified as a potential predictor for tumor recurrence in the pCR patients (with a median follow up of 3.78 years for dataset GSE32603 and 2.74 years for dataset GSE25066 from GEO, tumor recurrence rate: low versus high expression, 20.7% versus 4.5% [data from GSE32603]; 10.9% versus 0% [data from GSE25066]).ConclusionsClinical T stage, clinical N stage and tumor expression of ALDH3A2 were potential markers for predicting tumor recurrence in the pCR patients after NAC.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes that differentially respond to chemotherapy and targeted agents. The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical relevance of Lehmann TNBC subtypes by identifying any differences in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy among them. We determined Lehmann subtypes by gene expression profiling in paraffined pre-treatment tumor biopsies from 125 TNBC patients treated with neoadjuvant anthracyclines and/or taxanes +/- carboplatin. We explored the clinicopathological characteristics of Lehmann subtypes and their association with the pathologic complete response (pCR) to different treatments. The global pCR rate was 37%, and it was unevenly distributed within Lehmann's subtypes. Basal-like 1 (BL1) tumors exhibited the highest pCR to carboplatin containing regimens (80% vs 23%, p=0.027) and were the most proliferative (Ki-67>50% of 88.2% vs. 63.7%, p=0.02). Luminal-androgen receptor (LAR) patients achieved the lowest pCR to all treatments (14.3% vs 42.7%, p=0.045 when excluding mesenchymal stem-like (MSL) samples) and were the group with the lowest proliferation (Ki-67≤50% of 71% vs 27%, p=0.002). In our cohort, only tumors with LAR phenotype presented non-basal-like intrinsic subtypes (HER2-enriched and luminal A). TNBC patients present tumors with a high genetic diversity ranging from highly proliferative tumors, likely responsive to platinum-based therapies, to a subset of chemoresistant tumors with low proliferation and luminal characteristics.

Project description:Purpose:The identification of biomarkers predictive of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer patients would be an important advancement in personalized cancer therapy. We hypothesized that due to similarities between radiation and chemotherapy induced cellular response mechanisms, radiation responsive genes may be useful in predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: Murine p53 null breast cancer cell lines representative of the luminal, basal-like and claudin-low human breast cancer subtypes were irradiated to identify radiation responsive genes. These murine radiation induced genes were then converted to their human orthologs. These genes were then used to develop a predictor of pathologic complete response (pCR) that was validated on two independent published neoadjuvant chemotherapy data sets of genomic data with response. Results: A radiation induced gene signature consisting of 30 genes was identified on a training set of 337 human primary breast cancer tumor samples that was prognostic for survival. Mean expression of this signature was calculated for individual samples in two independent published datasets and was found to be significantly predictive of pathologic complete response. Multivariate logistic regression analysis in both independent datasets showed that this 30 gene signature added significant predictive information independent of that provided by standard clinical predictors and other gene expression based predictors of pathologic complete response. Conclusion: This study provides new biologic information regarding response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and a means of possibly improving the prediction of pathologic complete response. reference x sample

Project description:The purpose of this study is to develop a prediction model utilizing tumor hemoglobin parameters measured by ultrasound-guided near-infrared optical tomography (US-NIR) in conjunction with standard pathologic tumor characteristics to predict pathologic response before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is given.Thirty-four patients' data were retrospectively analyzed using a multiple logistic regression model to predict response. These patients were split into 30 groups of training (24 tumors) and testing (12 tumors) for cross validation. Tumor vascularity was assessed using US-NIR measurements of total hemoglobin (tHb), oxygenated (oxyHb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (deoxyHb) concentrations acquired before treatment. Tumor pathologic variables of tumor type, Nottingham score, mitotic index, the estrogen and progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 acquired before NAC in biopsy specimens were also used in the prediction model. The patients' pathologic response was graded based on the Miller-Payne system. The overall performance of the prediction models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The quantitative measures were sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC).Utilizing tumor pathologic variables alone, average sensitivity of 56.8%, average specificity of 88.9%, average PPV of 84.8%, average NPV of 70.9% and average AUC of 84.0% were obtained from the testing data. Among the hemoglobin predictors with and without tumor pathological variables, the best predictor was tHb combined with tumor pathological variables, followed by oxyHb with pathological variables. When tHb was included with tumor pathological variables as an additional predictor, the corresponding measures improved to 79%, 94%, 90%, 86% and 92.4%, respectively. When oxyHb was included with tumor variables as an additional predictor, these measures improved to 77%, 85%, 83%, 83% and 90.6%, respectively. The addition of tHb or oxyHb significantly improved the prediction sensitivity, NPV and AUC compared with using tumor pathological variables alone.These initial findings indicate that combining widely used tumor pathologic variables with hemoglobin parameters determined by US-NIR may provide a powerful tool for predicting patient pathologic response to NAC before the start of treatment.ClincalTrials.gov ID: NCT00908609 (registered 22 May 2009).

Project description:We assessed the predictive value of an image analysis-based tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) score for pathologic complete response (pCR) and event-free survival in breast cancer (BC). About 113 pretreatment samples were analyzed from patients with stage IIB-IIIC HER-2-negative BC randomized to neoadjuvant chemotherapy ± bevacizumab. TILs quantification was performed on full sections using QuPath open-source software with a convolutional neural network cell classifier (CNN11). We used easTILs% as a digital metric of TILs score defined as [sum of lymphocytes area (mm2)/stromal area(mm2)] × 100. Pathologist-read stromal TILs score (sTILs%) was determined following published guidelines. Mean pretreatment easTILs% was significantly higher in cases with pCR compared to residual disease (median 36.1 vs.14.8%, p < 0.001). We observed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.606, p < 0.0001) between easTILs% and sTILs%. The area under the prediction curve (AUC) was higher for easTILs% than sTILs%, 0.709 and 0.627, respectively. Image analysis-based TILs quantification is predictive of pCR in BC and had better response discrimination than pathologist-read sTILs%.

Project description:Key clinical messageWe report the first case of pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant imatinib in a gastric stromal tumor harboring KIT mutations in both exons 11 and 9. The significance of this co-occurrence is unknown and might increase the responsiveness of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) to imatinib.AbstractpCR of GIST to neoadjuvant imatinib is rare. We report a case of pCR to neoadjuvant imatinib in a gastric stromal tumor that harbored co-occurrence of multiple KIT mutations in exons 11 and 9. This co-occurrence in exons 9 and 11 is the first to be reported in the English literature.
