Dynamic clonal remodelling in breast cancer metastases is associated with subtype conversion
2019
Background: Changes in the clinical subtype (CS) and intrinsic subtype (IS) between breast cancer (BC) metastases and corresponding primary tumours have been reported. However, their relationship with tumour genomic changes remains poorly characterised. Here, we analysed the association between genomic remodelling and subtype conversion in paired primary and metastatic BC samples. Methods: A total of 57 paired primary and metastatic tumours from GEICAM/2009-03 (ConvertHER, NCT01377363) study participants with centrally assessed CS (n = 57) and IS (n = 46) were analysed. Targeted capture and next-generation sequencing of 202 genes on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples was performed. Th…
Abstract PD3-6: ConvertHER: Evolution of genomic alterations from primary to metastatic breast cancer
2015
Abstract Background: Changes in breast cancer receptor status over disease progression and treatment have been described to a point that could alter response to therapy. There is growing interest in delivering biomarker/genomically-based targeted therapies. We aimed to determine the concordance of genomic alterations between primary (P) and metastatic (M) breast cancer in a prospective collection study. Methods: Targeted capture and next-generation sequencing was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, profiling 202 cancer relevant genes in 61 pairs (primary and corresponding recurrence/metastasis). Tumors were classified at baseline as [hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2-, H…
Intrinsic Subtypes and Gene Expression Profiles in Primary and Metastatic Breast Cancer.
2017
Biological changes that occur during metastatic progression of breast cancer are still incompletely characterized. In this study, we compared intrinsic molecular subtypes and gene expression in 123 paired primary and metastatic tissues from breast cancer patients. Intrinsic subtype was identified using a PAM50 classifier and χ2 tests determined the differences in variable distribution. The rate of subtype conversion was 0% in basal-like tumors, 23.1% in HER2-enriched (HER2-E) tumors, 30.0% in luminal B tumors, and 55.3% in luminal A tumors. In 40.2% of cases, luminal A tumors converted to luminal B tumors, whereas in 14.3% of cases luminal A and B tumors converted to HER2-E tumors. We ident…
