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…
Triple negative breast cancer subtypes and pathologic complete response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
2018
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes that differentially respond to chemotherapy and targeted agents. The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical relevance of Lehmann TNBC subtypes by identifying any differences in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy among them. We determined Lehmann subtypes by gene expression profiling in paraffined pre-treatment tumor biopsies from 125 TNBC patients treated with neoadjuvant anthracyclines and/or taxanes +/- carboplatin. We explored the clinicopathological characteristics of Lehmann subtypes and their association with the pathologic complete response (pCR) to different treatments. The g…
