Utilizing cohort-level and individual networks to predict best response in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Given the highly aggressive and heterogeneous nature of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, molecular subtypes have been evaluated for their utility in patient stratification and therapeutic selection. Leveraging both our unique longitudinal multimodal analysis of serial tumor biopsies, as well as existing public reference cohorts, we refined clinically relevant molecular subtypes through de-novo network-based approaches. A plasma/B-cell related co-expression module emerged as a robust predictor of clinical response. Refinements of this module were significantly associated with pathological complete response and survival in the CALGB and METABRIC cohorts, as well as dramatically improving the call rate in a CLIA setting. We explored patient-specific networks to monitor individual ada
