Genomic Characterization of de novo Metastatic Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In contrast to recurrence after initial diagnosis of stage I-III breast cancer [recurrent metastatic breast cancer (rMBC)], de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) represents a unique setting to elucidate metastatic drivers in the absence of treatment selection. We present the genomic landscape of dnMBC and association with overall survival (OS).

Experimental design

Targeted DNA sequencing (OncoPanel) was prospectively performed on either primary or metastatic tumors from 926 patients (212 dnMBC and 714 rMBC). Single-nucleotide variants, copy-number variations, and tumor mutational burden (TMB) in treatment-naïve dnMBC primary tumors were compared with primary tumors in patients who ultimately developed rMBC, and correlated with OS across all dnMBC.
