    Abstract: Background. By 2020, breast cancer (BC) has become the most frequent malignancy in the world. The most common type of BC is HR+/HER2-negative cancer,2540% of which harbors PIK3CA mutations that affect the catalytic subunit of the PI3K protein. PIK3CA alterations are actionable, as such neoplasms can be treated with a combination of fulvestrant and the PI3K inhibitor alpelisib. As PIK3CA mutations have an extremely versatile effect on the characteristics of a tumor cell, numerous associations of PIK3CA mutations and various clinico-pathological characteristics of BC can be traced. Aim. Our aim was to clarify the information on the frequency and spectrum of PIK3CA mutations in Russian patients with HR+/HER2- advanced BC, and to study the association of PIK3CA mutations with clinical and pathological parameters of BC. Materials and methods. Tissue samples from 694 patients with HR+/HER2- advanced BC (mixed population of primary metastatic and relapsed tumors) who received any line of anti-cancer treatment in Dec 2020 to June 2021 in Russian Federation were analyzed by high-resolution melting, allele-specific PCR, digital droplet PCR and Sanger sequencing (exons 7,9, and 20 of the PIK3CA gene). Mutation rates in different BC subgroups were compared using the Fishers exact test. The age at diagnosis in patients with different PIK3CA status was compared using the MannWhitney U-test. The relationship between the PIK3CA status and the degree of tumor differentiation was compared using the CochraneArmitage test for trends. Luminal A and B BC expression subtypes were distinguished with surrogate IHC markers according to St.-Gallen recommendations (2013). Results. Mutations were identified in 220/694 (32%) BC patients. The three most frequent missense substitutions in the PIK3CA gene (p.E542K, p.E545K, and p.H1047R) accounted for 190/220 (86%) mutations. Associations of PIK3CA mutations with luminal A subtype of BC, low proliferation index, small size of the primary tumor, and absence of signs of hereditary cancer were revealed. Associations of mutations in the kinase domain of PIK3CA (p.H1047R) with late recurrence of locally advanced BC and with non-Slavic ethnic origin of patients were found. Conclusion. PIK3CA mutation rate of 32% confirms high prevalence of mutation in Russian population, with some differences reflecting the ethnic origin of patients.

    Abstract: The article presents the experience of 19 Russian medical institutions on the use of eribulin in combination with trastuzumab in various treatment lines of metastatic HER2+ breast cancer in routine clinical practice. Aim. The main objective of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of eribulin and trastuzumab combo in HER2+ breast cancer patients pretreated with anthracyclines and taxanes. The analysis included 60 patients who received at least 2 cycles of eribulin in combination with trastuzumab. 2 patients (3.3%) received treatment as the 1st line, as the 2nd 14 (23.3%), as the 3rd 16 (26.7%), and as the 4th and more 28 (46.7%). Materials and methods. Complete response was achieved in 2 (3.3%) patients, partial response in 9 (15%), stable disease in 33 (55%), stabilization for more than 6 months in 11 (18.3%), disease progression was detected in 16 (26.7%) patients. The objective response rate was 18.3% in the whole group, the clinical benefit rate 36.7%. Results. The objective response rate in the group of the luminal subtype (ER/PR+HER2+) was 26.9%, in HER2-overexpressed subtype (ER-PR-HER2+) 8.8% and 64.7%, respectively, disease progression was recorded 2.3 times more often 35.3% versus 15.5% in the luminal subtype group. The median progression-free survival in patients with HER2+ breast cancer was 4.95 months (95% confidence interval CI 3.048.29 months), in luminal subtype 6.38 months (95% CI 3.338.54 months), in non-luminal 4.44 months (95% CI 2.47.96 months); p=0.306. The treatment was well tolerated, the spectrum of adverse events corresponded to the eribulin toxicity profile. Conclusions. The uniqueness of this study lies in the fact that on a large clinical material from the standpoint of real clinical practice, a very promising treatment regimen that is not used routinely in a number of countries has been studied, its effectiveness and satisfactory tolerance have been confirmed.
