CtDNA in early triple negative breast cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Triple negative breast cancer is treated primarily with chemotherapy, even before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy or NAC). The prognosis and need for adjuvant therapy depends greatly on the tumor response assessed by pathology (pCR). Highly sensitive and specific ctDNA assays have been shown to be of prognostic value in the metastatic setting but not yet in earlier settings. To evaluate the value of ctDNA to predict response to NAC and prognosis we analyzed 149 plasma samples from 26 patients with TNBC. Our results show that ctDNA detection after NAC prior to surgery is strongly predictive of disease-free survival and overall survival and is comparable to RCB as a prognostic factor in our cohort.
