    Abstract: Background Immune system has been known to influence the prognosis of breast cancer (BC). However, the relationship between immune modulating factor (PD-L1) and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) profiles in breast cancer has yet to be revealed according to breast cancer subtypes. In addition, the effects of circulating cytokines on TILs have not been addressed. Patients and methods We investigated the relationship between the profiles of TILs and PD-L1 expression of the primary tumor tissue by immunohistochemistry with clinical outcomes in 253 patients who underwent surgery for early breast cancer at National Cancer Center from January 2001 to December 2005. Besides, the serum cytokines including IL-10, IL-18, IL-6, IFN-g, and TGF-β1 were measured at diagnosis. Clinical data including hormone receptors status, HER2 expression, disease free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were collected. Results Median age of patients was 49 years (range, 32-74) and median follow-up was 8.5 years. One hundred eighty five (73.1%) patients had hormone receptor (HR) positive and 101 (39.9%) patients had node positive BC. CD8+ TILs were more abundant in low PD-L1 expressed tumor (P = 0.027), though there was no association between FOXP3+ TILs and PD-L1 expression (P = 0.585). A total number of TILs was higher in HR negative compared with HR positive BC (P = 0.061) and the expression of PD-L1 was more frequent in HR positive BC (P & lt;0.001). In HR negative BC, there was a trend of longer DFS in patients with higher CD8+ TILs and low PD-L1 expression (P = 0.097). However, such association was not detected in HR positive BC patients. Among serum cytokines we examined, the higher levels of IL-18 were significantly associated with shorter DFS in HR negative BC (P = 0.006). In HR negative BC, higher CD8+ TILs with low PD-L1 expression and lower IL-18 were significantly related with better clinical outcomes when adjusted with other clinical factors (DFS, P = 0.032; OS, P = 0.048). Conclusions Lower PD-L1 expression in breast tumor was associated with higher CD8+ lymphocyte infiltration. Especially in HR negative BC, increasing CD8+ TILs with lower PD-L1 expression and lower serum IL-18 level were good prognostic factors. Further validation will be needed to establish the role of immune profiles in BC patients. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2013;73(24 Suppl): Abstract nr P5-01-12.

    Abstract: Background: Most patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) experience disease progression after being treated with an anthracycline or taxane. Irinotecan, a semisynthetic agent derived from the natural alkaloid camptothecin is metabolized to the active metabolite SN-38 which targets topoisomerase I leading to single and double strand DNA breaks. Irinotecan as a single agent demonstrated tumor activity with an objective response rate ranging from 5 to 23% in patients with MBC refractory to taxane and anthracycline. Irinotecan increased the activity of 5-FU, the active metabolite of capecitabine, and overcomes the negative effect of thymidylate synthase overexpression, which is the main target of an active metabolite of 5-FU. A phase II study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of irinotecan and capecitabin combination (IX) showed that the median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.6 months (95% CI, 5.0-10.2months), and the median OS was 22.6 months (95% CI, 15.4 – 29.8 months) with good tolerability in anthracycline and taxane pretreated MBC patients. Based on these results, we planned to conduct a multicenter, randomized phase III study which assesses the efficacy of irinotecan and capecitabine combination therapy compared with capecitabine alone in patients with anthracycline and taxane resistant MBC. Methods: In this trial, patients with HER2 normal tumor who previously received anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapies are enrolled. Eligible patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive irinotecan plus capecitabine or capecitabine alone. The primary end point of this trial is PFS and a total number of accrual patients will be 222. Randomization is done using a random block size permutation method and stratified by hormone receptor status (negative vs. positive), first line vs. ≥second lines, visceral metastasis (negative vs. positive). Patients receive irinotecan at 80 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 every 3 weeks and capecitabine 1000mg/m2 bid from day 1 to day 14 every 3 weeks. In control arm, patients receive capecitabine 1250mg/m2 bid from day 1 to day 14 every 3 weeks. Response will be assessed using RECIST1.1 criteria and toxicity will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE 4.0 criteria. Study Status: A total of 107 patients consented for the study since June 2011, and accrual is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT01501669.

    Abstract: Background: The breast cancer-related lymphedema (LE) has been known to be closely related to axillary lymph nodes dissection (ALND), chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In this study, we evaluated whether the sequence of systemic chemotherapy and surgery could be a predictive factor in stage II/III breast cancer. Methods and Materials: A total of 867 patients with stage II/III breast cancer, who underwent curative surgery with adequate systemic therapy from 2004 to 2009, were retrospectively analyzed. Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) was performed in 571 patients (65.9%) and preoperative systemic chemotherapy (PSC) in 296 (34.1%). We evaluated the incidence of LE by clinicopathologic factors and treatments. Results: At a median follow-up of 5.1 years (range, 3.0-8.3 years), 360 patients (41.5%) had experienced LE, 244 patients have retained LE (permanent LE), and 116 patents were normalized. The overall 5-year cumulative incidence of LE was 17%. LE occurred in 188 patients (32.9%) in patients with ACT, 172 patients (58.1%) with PSC (P & lt;0.001), permanent LE in 121 (21.2%) with ACT, 123 (41.6%) with PSC (P & lt;0.001), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that PSC (hazard ratio [HR], 1.65; P & lt;.001), radiotherapy (HR, 2.24; P & lt;0.01), ALND (HR, 1.41; P = 0.04), and nodal stage (HR, 1.93; P = 0.04) were independent risk factors for LE occurrence. For the permanent LE, PSC (HR, 1.44; P = 0.05), radiotherapy (HR, 2.79; P & lt;0.01), ALND (HR, 1.77; P & lt;0.01), and nodal stage (HR, 3.01; P = 0.02) showed the associations. Conclusions: The risk factors associated with LE were advanced stage, ALND and radiotherapy. PSC was one of predictors for transients LE. However, further evaluation should be done whether it is a risk factor for permanent LE. This research was supported by National Cancer Center Grant NCC-1210181-2 by the National Cancer Center, Republic of Korea. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2013;73(24 Suppl): Abstract nr P3-08-14.

    Abstract: Background: Obesity is one of the well-known cause and prognostic factor of breast cancer. Body mass index (BMI) is often used to estimate the magnitude of obesity. Currently, muscle weight itself, instead of higher BMI, is more closely related to poor outcomes in chronic metabolic disease. However, this question was not thoroughly questioned in breast cancer survivors. We aim to find out whether the prognosis of breast cancer survivors is affected by muscle mass and fat volume. We also present that the higher muscle mass and muscle fat ratio do have a good influence on the prognosis. Methods and Materials: Between January, 2001, and December, 2009, all consecutive patients diagnosed the breast cancer in National cancer center, Republic of Korea were 3909. Of all populations, the patients who had available chest Computed Tomography (CT) images within two years after the time of diagnosis were extracted. CT images were analyzed for total skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in cross-sectional area of 10mm thickness at level 3 of the lumbar vertebrae. Results: Of all consecutive 3909 patients, final eligible cases were 1493. The median age was 46.0 (range 25∼77). Median follow up period was 96.8 months and the 5 year survival rate was 96.5%. Recurrence free survival rate was 92.1%, and local recurrence free survival was 98.6% in 5 years. Median skeletal muscle volume of all patients was 93.3cc (range 39.6∼236.9). Median fat volume of the same sections was 419.7cc (range 19.5∼1392.3) and the median muscle-fat ratio was 0.22 (0.08∼3.18). There is no known standard value of muscle mass in Korean women, the median volume was used as an indicator for comparison of two groups in terms of overall survival and recurrence free survival. The group with muscle volume greater than median value appeared better outcomes in overall survival and recurrence free survival than those of the other group (p=0.007, p=0.019). There were several factors related to overall survival and recurrence free survival such as age, operation types, clinical stage, pathologic stage, and tumor size in univariate cox regression analysis. In multivariate analysis by adjusting those factors, the muscle volume showed a remarkable correlation with survival, especially in recurrence free survival (Hazard ratio 0.61, p=0.029). As the indicator using with median muscle-fat ratio, the analysis revealed that overall survival had no significant difference (p=0.177) between two groups. However, the group with higher muscle-fat ratio showed better recurrence free survival and local recurrence free survival (p-value & lt;0.0001, 0.038 respectively). Conclusions: Our study showed that the actual amount of skeletal muscle rather than fat volume has higher effect on the prognosis of breast cancer survivors. In our knowledge, this is the largest study to analyze the prognosis of breast cancer with skeletal muscle volume. In view of the different magnitude of obesity among multiple ethnics, the actual muscle mass could be the most important parameter to assess the amount of exercise and patient's health status.

    Abstract: Background: Ki-67 has been increasingly used as a prognostic marker in spite of debates on the evaluation methods and inconsistent results on its clinical values. CKAP2 is a microtubule-associated protein which plays key roles in microtubule assembly and disassembly. In the present study, the clinical significance of CKAP2-positive cells was evaluated and compared with the results of Ki-67 positive cells. Methods: A total of 579 early breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at the National Cancer Center Hospital between 2001 and 2005 were accrued. The proliferation activity was measured by CKAP2-positive cell count (CPCC) and Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) using CKAP2 and Ki-67 antibodies, respectively, by immunohistochemcial staining on FFPE tumor tissue. The correlation of CPCC or Ki-67 LI with recurrence free survival (RFS) was analyzed. The immunofluorescent staining was performed on HeLa cells after synchronization by double thymidine block to compare the patterns between CKAP2 and Ki-67. Results: The CPCC (median, 8 with the range of 0- 170) and Ki-67 LI (median, 10.2 with the range of 0%- 91.7%) were highly correlated (R = 0.754, P & lt; 0.001). While CPCC was marginally significant in multivariate analysis for RFS in all cases, it was a significant variable for RFS in the subset analysis with HER2-negative luminal breast cancer patients (HR, 3.154; 95% CI, 1.154-10.693; P = 0.027). On the contrary, Ki-67 LI failed to show any correlation with RFS in all or any subgroups. In the analysis on HeLa cells, CKAP2 staining was more specific to cells in metaphase than Ki-67 staining. Conclusions: CPCC can be an independent prognostic factor specifically in a HER2-negative luminal type of breast cancer. In addition, CPCC appears to be superior to Ki-67 LI as a survival indicator which may be related to the restricted expression pattern of CKAP2 in metaphase cells. Further study is warranted.

    Abstract: Purpose We investigated whether the combination of irinotecan plus capecitabine improved progression free survival (PFS) compared with capecitabine alone in patients with HER2 negative MBC previously exposed to anthracyclines and taxanes. Patients and methods A total of 211 patients were randomly assigned to irinotecan (80mg/m2 on D1 and D8) and capecitabine (1,000mg/m2 bid on D1 to D14) or capecitabine alone (1,250mg/m2 bid on D1 to D14) every 3 weeks. The primary objective was PFS; secondary objectives included overall response rate, overall survival and safety. Results Both arms were well balanced in terms of age, hormone receptor status, visceral involvement, and number of previous treatment. There was no significant difference in PFS between the combination and capecitabine monotherapy arm (median, 6.6 vs. 5.3 months; HR=0.87; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.16; P=0.33). In patients with triple negative breast cancer (N=87), the combination treatment significantly improved PFS (median, 4.8 vs. 2.8 months; HR=0.59 ; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.94; P=0.03). Overall response rate was higher in the combination arm though it did not reach statistical significance (42.7% vs. 29.6%, P=0.06). Overall survival did not differ between two groups (median, 2.2 vs. 1.7 years; P=0.47). Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in 39.6% in the combination arm and 10% in the monotherapy arm. Hand-foot syndrome (≥ grade 2) was more common in the monotherapy arm (23.0% vs. 12.6%). Table 1.

    Abstract: Background The continuum of anti-HER2 agents is regarded as a standard strategy for HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had progressed disease with anti-HER2 agent- containing treatments. However, there has been lack of data on which agents should be continued and how long continuous anti-HER2 therapies would be effective. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lapatinib plus vinorelbine in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients who had progressed on both trastuzumab and lapatinib treatments. Methods A total of 149 patients were randomly assigned to lapatinib with vinorelbine (LV) (n=75; laptinib, 1000mg daily ; vinorelbine 20mg/m2 D1,D8 q3w) or vinorelbine alone (V) (n=74; 30mg/m2 D1,D8 q3w). The stratification factors were followings; 1) visceral metastasis, 2) previous response to lapatinib treatment, CR+PR vs. SD ≥ 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) rate at 18 weeks. The secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), PFS, and overall survival (OS). Results : Both arms were well balanced in various clinical factors. The median number of previous anti-HER2 therapies were 2 (range 2-5). There was no significant difference in PFS rate at 18 weeks between LV and V arms (44.0% vs 36.5%, p=0.44). ORR was 19.7% in LV arm and 16.9% in V arm (p=0.881). PFS and OS did not differ between two arms (LV vs V; median PFS, 16weeks vs 12 weeks, HR= 0.86, 95% CI 0.61-1.22, p=0.41; median OS, 15.0 months vs 18.9 months, HR= 1.07, 95% CI 0.72-1.58, p=0.72). In subgroup analysis, there was no difference in PFS and OS between two arms according to previous response to lapatinib (median PFS, CR+PR vs. SD ≥ 12 weeks, 12.1weeks vs.17.4 weeks; HR= 1.242, 95% CI 0.881-1.751, p=0.215; median OS, 14.9 months vs. 19.4 months; HR= 1.179, 95% CI 0.797-1.744, p=0.41). Most common adverse events in both arms were neutropenia which was more often observed in V arm (55% vs 73%, p=0.03). Overall, the profiles of adverse events were similar in both arms and all were manageable. Conclusion Lapatinib plus vinorelbine treatment was tolerable, however, it did not demonstrate the clinical benefits compared to vinorelbine alone in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients after progression on both trastuzumab and lapatinib.

    Abstract: Purpose: One of substudies of the prospective trials aimed to evaluate the usefulness of serial [18F] 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography ([18F] FDG-PET) for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) in stage II/III breast cancer with preoperative chemotherapy (PST). Methods: Serial PET was undertaken in 57 breast cancer patients enrolled in three different neoadjuvant trials: 35 patients from a phase II study with paclitaxel/gemcitabine/trastuzumab with ClinicalTrial.gov NCT 00532857, 9 patients from a phase Ib study with paclitaxel/gemcitabine/lapatinib with ClinicalTrial.gov NCT 01133912, and 13 patients from a phase Ib with paclitaxel/gemcitabine/sunitinib with ClinicalTrial.gov NCT0 1070706. All patients received 6 cycles of PST followed by surgery and radiotherapy. We assessed the peak standardized uptake value (SUVp) in the primary tumor at the baseline and after the 2nd cycle (37 patients) or after completion (20 patients) of 6 cycles of PST, and calculated the reduction rate (RR) of the SUVp. Pathological response was classified into pCR and non-pCR. To compare the mean of SUVp and RR of SUVp between different response groups, two-way tables and chi-square tests were used Results: Fifteen (40.6%) of 37 patients who took repeat PET after the 2nd PST and 15 (75%) of 20 patients after completion of PST achieved a pCR with overall pCR rate of 52.6% in the primary tumor. In patients with repeat PET after the 2nd PST, post-treatment SUVp and RR of the SUVp in primary tumors were significantly different by the pathological response (post-treatment SUVp, 1.54 ± 0.63 in pCR vs 2.54 ± 1.06 in non-pCR, P=0.002; RR of the SUVp, 79.2% ± 11.9% in pCR vs 68.9% ± 15.4% in non-pCR, P=0.03). However, in patients with repeat PET after completion of PST, there were no statistical differences of these values (post-treatment SUVp, 1.09 ± 0.63 in pCR vs 1.29 ± 0.36 in non-pCR, P=0.42; RR of the SUVp, 83.7% ± 14.0% in pCR vs 67.5% ± 21.1% in non-pCR, P=0.17) Conclusions: This study demonstrated that repeat PET after the 2nd cycle of PST, not after completion of PST could predict pCR in stage II/III breast cancer with preoperative chemotherapy.

    Abstract: Purpose Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is known to be the second most frequent histologic subtype, occupying 10% of invasive breast cancer in the Western countries. The present study was designed to assess the clinical characteristics and outcomes of ILC compared to general invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and the luminal A subtype (LA-IDC). Methods The study population included d 2916 patients with invasive breast cancer consecutively diagnosed at the National Cancer Center, Korea between 2001 and 2008. The clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Results There were 83 pts (2.8%) diagnosed with ILC and 1,088 pts (37.3%) with LA-IDC. Mean age was 48.2 years of all patients, 48.3 years of ILC group and 47.9 years of LA-IDC group. The ILC patients presented with a larger tumor size (≥T2, 59.8% vs. 38.8%, P=0.001), lower histologic grade (HG 1 or 2, 90.4% vs 64.4%, P & lt;0.001), more often estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) positivity (ER+, 90.4% vs. 64.4%, P & lt;0.001; PgR+, 71.1% vs. 50.1%, P & lt;0.001), HER2 negativity (97.5% vs. 74.9%, P & lt;0.001), lower Ki-67 expression (10.3% ± 10.6% vs. 20.6% ± 19.8%, P & lt;0.001), and luminal A subtypes (91.4% vs. 51.2%, P & lt;0.001) compared to the IDC group. Six (7.2%) ILC patients and 359 (12.7%) IDC patients developed disease recurrence with a median follow-up of 56.4 months (range 4.9-136.6 months). Although ILC showed similar prognosis to IDC in general (5-year DFS rate, 91.7% in ILC vs. 87.4% in IDC, P=0.31; 5-year OS rate, 93.6% in ILC vs. 92.5% in IDC, P=0.38), its outcome was closer to LA-IDC, and better than non LA-IDC (LA-IDC (ref); ILC, HR 0.77 in recurrence, 95% CI 0.31-1.90, P=0.57; HR 0.75 in death, 95% CI 0.18-3.09, P=0.70; non LA-IDC, HR 1.69 in recurrence, 95% CI 1.23-2.33, P=0.001; HR 1.50 in death, 95% CI 0.97-2.33, P=0.07) in univariate and multivariate analysis. Conclusions ILC is a very rare histologic subtype of breast cancer in Korea compared to the Western countries and has distinctive clinicopathological characteristics similar to those of LA-IDC.

    Abstract: Background : We investigated the relationship between resumption or persistence of menstruation after chemotherapy and disease free survival (DFS) in premenopausal patients with early breast cancer. Patients and methods : A total of 843 patients diagnosed with a stage I to III breast cancer between March 2001 and December 2006 were included in this study. All patients received cytotoxic chemotherapy after surgery; 411 (48.8%) with anthracycline based, 416 (49.3%) with anthracycline and taxane containing, and 16 (1.9%) with other regimens. We reviewed the medical records with a long term follow-up. Results : The median age of patients was 41 years (range, 21–54 years) and the median follow-up duration was 6.2 years (range, 0.7−10.4 years). Of all, 632 (75%) patients were hormone receptor (HR) positive who received tamoxifen therapy upon completion of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy induced amenorrhea (CIA) rate was 78.1% (n=658) and 52.4% (n= 442) experienced the resumption of period during the long term follow-up. One hundred two (12.1%) patients had persistent menstruation without CIA. The disease free survival (DFS) was significantly affected by the younger age (≤ 35 years) (HR=1.58, [95% CI, 1.10−2.70], P=0.014), advanced stage (stage 3) (HR=4.45, [95% CI, 3.17−6.25] , P & lt;0.001), HR negativity (HR=2.21, [95% CI, 1.57−3.12], P & lt;0.001), HER2 positivity (HR=1.56, [95% CI, 1.04−2.34], P=0.032), and the resumption or persistent period (HR=2.03, [95% CI, 1.42−2.91] , P & lt;0.001). HR negativity (HR=2.03, [95% CI, 1.43−2.90], P & lt;0.001), advanced stage (HR=4.40, [95% CI, 3.12−6.21], P & lt;0.001), and the resumed or persistent period (HR=1.85, [95% CI, 1.24−2.77], P=0.002) were remained significant factors for DFS on multivariate analysis. Conclusions : A considerable proportion of premenopausal patients treated by chemotherapy experienced resuming period after CIA. The resumption or persistence of menstruation was a poor prognostic factor for disease free survival in premenopausal patients with early breast cancer.
