    Abstract: e11587 Background: The important characteristics of breast cancer is its tumor heterogeneity and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). We analyzed the patterns of tumor shrinkage as a prognostic indicator after NAC for luminal breast cancer. Methods and Results. Methods: Of 854 patients who had received NAC in the single institute between January 2000 and December 2009, 265 luminal breast cancerwere retrospevively examined. Luminal breast cancer was defined as ER and/or PgR positive in more than 10% of cancer cells and HER2 negative (IHC 0, 1+ or FISH 〈 2.0). Before and after NAC, the primary lesion was evaluated by enhanced MRI in 235 patients. Results: The median follow-up period was 51.4 months. 38 patients(16.2%) experienced recurrence after a median DFI of 49.1 months. The median age was 50 and 232 patients received anthracycline containing chemotherapy and 179 patients received taxane. 120 out of 235 patients exhibited concentric shrinkage pattern. Multivariate analysis for DFS identified Age(49 〉 ), strong ER/PgR positivity and concentric shrinkage as significantly favorable, and lymph node metastases as significantly unfavorable prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis for OS identified tumor size as significantly unfavorable prognostic factors(p=0.012). Conclusions: the tumor shrinkage pattern could be an important prognostic factor for luminal breast cancer and this suggests that a concentric shrinkage pattern of response may be infrequently associated with chemotherapy-resistant residual cancer cells.

    Abstract: The clinicopathologic importance of a second estrogen receptor (ER), ER-β, in breast cancers has been intensely studied; however, there is still no real consensus regarding the clinical utility of an ER-β assay, probably because of the lack of standardized methodology, the presence of several ER-β isotypes (ER-β1-5, and so on), and, more importantly, the lack of convincing data on whether the ER-β status provides clinically useful information over what is already provided by the traditional ER-α/progesterone receptor (PR) assay. A large and systematic study is needed to address these important issues. Patients and Methods Archival materials of 442 invasive breast cancers from women treated with adjuvant tamoxifen monotherapy and with a long follow-up period (median, 11.1 years) were subjected to immunohistochemical study using three commercially available anti–ER-β antibodies that detect ER-β1-3 (ER-βN), ER-β1, and ER-βcx (ER-β2). Results Positive staining for ER-βN or ER-β1 was associated with significantly better survival. By contrast, ER-βcx status did not influence survival. In multivariate analysis, ER-β1 status emerged as an independent predictor of recurrence and mortality. ER-β1 status was significantly associated with survival in postmenopausal, but not premenopausal, women. Importantly, ER-β1 positivity was associated with significantly better survival in patients with ER-α–negative/PR-negative or ER-α–negative/PR–negative/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (triple-negative) tumors, which are widely believed to be hormone unresponsive, have poor prognosis, and require chemotherapy. Conclusion Immunohistochemical examination of ER-β1 in addition to ER-α and PR is clinically important in patients with breast cancer treated with tamoxifen monotherapy. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

    Abstract: e22190 Background: The metastatic breast tumor tends to be more aggressive with high proliferation, but this has not been proven in clinical sampling of metastatic tumors. Methods: Forty-eight patients who had histological specimens of both primary and metastatic sites of luminal breast cancer (ER and/or PgR positive and HER2 negative) were examined. We classified them as luminal A (LA) with Ki-67 labeling index of less than 14% and as luminal B (LB) with Ki-67 labeling index of more than 14%. We analyzed their overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of 1st line treatment of each subtype of primary and metastatic tumors. Results: Subtypes of primary tumors and metastatic tumors were as follows; the primary tumor: LA; 34 patients (70.8%), LB; 14 (29.2%), metastatic tumors: LA; 21 (43.8%), LB; 27 (56.2%). Patients with LA of the primary tumor demonstrated statistically longer OS (LA; 72.5 months, LB 39.6 months, p=0.009). OS depended on the subtype of the primary tumor. In contrast, patients with LB of a metastatic tumor showed a statistically worse PFS (LA; 20.5 months, LB; 11.5 months, p=0.040). PFS of the 1st line treatment for MBC depended on the subtype of the metastatic tumor. Conclusions: The frequency of LB was increased on metastatic tumors and tended to acquire a higher proliferation index. This suggests that characterization of metastatic tumors could be better as an indicator of subsequent treatment for MBC. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 1036 Background: Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) occurs as a consequence of epigenetic aberrations in tumor cells with genetic diversity. HER2 ITH can be classified into genetic (a mixture of tumor cells with and without HER2 gene amplification) and epigenetic ITH (a mixture of HER2 gene-amplified tumor cells with and without HER2 protein overexpression). However, the both effects of genetic and epigenetic ITH on HER2-targeted therapy have not been clearly demonstrated. In order to implement ITH as a referenced factor for treatment selection, the ITH quantification is necessary. Gene-protein assay (GPA), in which immunohistochemistry and dual in situ hybridization are simultaneously performed on a single slide, allows bright-field analyses of both gene and protein status. We aimed to quantify HER2 ITH by the combination of gene and protein status and clarify its clinical significance. Methods: Fifty three patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, who underwent neoadjuvant trastuzumab with chemotherapy, were examined. Five representative microscopic images were captured from a GPA slide of a pre-therapeutic biopsy material. All evaluable tumor cells in the images were scored according to the HER2 status determined by the combination of gene copy number and protein expression (Table). We investigated the relationship between the HER2 scores and pathological complete response (pCR) to the neoadjuvant treatment by the logistic analysis. Results: The average of HER2 scores, indicating the degree of the HER2 status, varied from 2.21 to 5.98. It was significantly related to pCR (Estimate: 1.21, Std. error: 0.46, RR: 3.34, P=0.009, 95%CI: 1.35-8.25). The standard deviation of HER2 scores, indicating the degree of the HER2 ITH, varied from 0.13 to 1.37. It was significantly related to pCR (Estimate: -2.09, Std. error: 0.83, RR: 0.12, P=0.012, 95%CI: 0.02-0.63). Conclusions: HER2 ITH, quantified by GPA, is a predictive factor for the therapeutic effect to trastuzumab-based treatment in HER2-positive breast cancer. [Table: see text]
