Intra-tumor molecular heterogeneity in breast cancer: definitions of measures and association with distant recurrence-free survival.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:The purpose of the study was to define quantitative measures of intra-tumor heterogeneity in breast cancer based on histopathology data gathered from multiple samples on individual patients and determine their association with distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS). METHODS:We collected data from 971 invasive breast cancers, from 1st January 2000 to 23rd March 2014, that underwent repeat tumor sampling at our institution. We defined and calculated 31 measures of intra-tumor heterogeneity including ER, PR, and HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC), proliferation, EGFR IHC, grade, and histology. For each heterogeneity measure, Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine whether patients with heterogeneous disease had different distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) than those with homogeneous disease. RESULTS:The presence of heterogeneity in ER percentage staining was prognostic of reduced DRFS with a hazard ratio of 4.26 (95% CI 2.22-8.18, p?

Project description:Introduction: The I-SPY 1 TRIAL was designed to evaluate complete pathologic response and tumor volume change, measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), stratified by molecular subtypes and link response to 3-year recurrence free survival (RFS).Methods: Eligible patients had T =3 cm and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with AC plus optional taxane. Serial MRI, biopsy, and blood draws were conducted over the course of treatment, and a database of multiple molecular profiles was assembled.Results: A total of 221 patients were eligible for analysis: median tumor size was 6.0 cm and median age was 49 years. The I-SPY 1 TRIAL patients had tumors with aggressive biology: 45% were estrogen receptor (ER) negative, 31% Her2+; and 91% high risk by the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) 70-gene profile. After a median of 3.9 years, RFS was 77%. HR/HER2 status improved predictability of RFS with the greatest difference between HR+/HER2- and triple-negative disease (hazard ratio 0.39). Wound healing signature activation, p53 mutation, and Risk of Relapse (ROR) score were highly correlated and also significantly improved the accuracy of RFS predictions when added to stage. The rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) varied considerably from a low of 0-2% (NKI low risk, luminal A) to a high of 43-61% (17q Amplified, HER2 enriched, HR-/HER2+). Both pCR and the more refined residual cancer burden (RCB) were significant predictors of RFS for all patients and even more predictive when analyzed within biomarker subsets. Good risk (NKI low, ROR-S low risk, Wound Healing quiescent, p53 wild type) signatures were associated with significantly higher 3-year RFS than poor risk expression signatures (ROR-S high risk, Wound Healing Activated, p53 mutation, NKI high risk).Conclusion: Importantly, in this set of biologically poor prognosis tumors, pCR predicts for better outcome, especially when analyzed within breast cancer subsets.
