Molecular portraits and trastuzumab responsiveness of estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancers (triple-positive breast cancers, TPBCs) account for 5% to 10% of all breast cancers. The clinical and molecular features of TPBCs remain elusive. In this study, we aim to analyze the multiomics landscape and responsiveness of TPBCs to trastuzumab. Methods: We employed five cohorts. The first cohort was from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (n=32,056) and was used to determine the clinical characteristics of TPBC. The second, third and fourth cohorts were from The Cancer Genome Atlas (n=162), GSE2603 (n=37) and GSE2109 (n=30) datasets, respectively, and were used to examine the genomic features and molecular classification of TPBC. The fifth cohort c
