Metastatic pattern of breast cancer according to immunohistochemical defined subtypes in the transitional phase of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment.

e11581 Background: Prognosis of early breast cancer (BC) differs significantly upon subtypes (ST). Treatment with adjuvant trastuzumab improves outcome of HER2 overexpressing BC, however, less in k...

Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With or Without Carboplatin in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Positive and Triple-Negative Primary Breast Cancers

Purpose Modulation of immunologic interactions in cancer tissue is a promising therapeutic strategy. To investigate the immunogenicity of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –positive and triple-negative (TN) breast cancers (BCs), we evaluated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immunologically relevant genes in the neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial. Patients and Methods GeparSixto investigated the effect of adding carboplatin (Cb) to an anthracycline-plus-taxane combination (PM) on pathologic complete response (pCR). A total of 580 tumors were evaluated before random assignment for stromal TILs and lymphocyte-predominant BC (LPBC). mRNA expression of immune-activating (CXCL9, …

Impact of prognostic factors on long-term outcomes in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts) receiving bevacizumab (B) plus paclitaxel as first-line cytotoxic treatment.

e12007 Background: B combined with chemotherapy (CT) significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) vs CT alone in the first-line treatment of HER2-negative MBC. In a...
