RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The clinical role of the molecular endometrial cancer (EC) classification has not been fully explored in patients staged with lymphadenectomy or without adjuvant treatment, conditions that could potentially moderate the prognostic value of the classification. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of the molecular subgroups in patients with high-grade EC staged by lymphadenectomy and those without adjuvant treatment. METHODS: DNA-sequencing for the detection of pathogenic POLE-exonuclease domain mutations and immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins and p53 expression were performed on 412 high-grade EC from the Danish Gynaecological Cancer Database (2005-2012) to classify them as POLE-ultramutated (POLEmut), MMR-deficient (MMRd), p53-mutant (p53abn), or no specific molecular profile (NSMP). Patients with stage IV or residual disease after surgery were excluded. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard models were used for analysis. RESULTS: Molecular analysis was successful in 367 EC; 251 patients had undergone lymphadenectomy. Five-year recurrence rates in this subgroup of patients was 36.7% for women with p53abn EC, 0.0% for POLEmut EC, 13.4% for MMRd EC and 42.9% for NSMP EC (p < 0.001). Similar results were observed among stage IA-IB patients. Among patients without adjuvant treatment (n = 264), none with POLEmut EC (n = 26) had a recurrence. CONCLUSION: The molecular EC classification has strong prognostic value, independent of clinicopathological factors, also among high-grade EC patients staged by lymphadenectomy and those without adjuvant treatment. The unfavourable prognosis of early-stage p53abn EC is not due to undetected lymph node metastasis, and the indolent behaviour of POLEmut EC is independent of adjuvant treatment.

RESUMO

AIMS: The most commonly mutated gene in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) is TP53 and its prognostic value, particularly in HPV-independent VSCC, is uncertain. In other tumours, p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an excellent surrogate marker for TP53 mutations. In order to study this in VSCC, we assigned six p53 IHC patterns into two final classes: 'wild-type' or 'mutant'. We determined the performance and interobserver variability of this pattern-based p53 IHC approach. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two experienced gynaecological pathologists scored the predefined p53 IHC patterns of 59 VSCC, independently and blinded for molecular data. Agreement was calculated by Cohen's kappa. All disagreements regarding p53 IHC patterns were resolved by a consensus meeting. After DNA isolation, the presence of pathogenic TP53 variants was determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of p53 IHC as a surrogate marker for TP53 mutation status were calculated. Initial p53 IHC pattern interpretation showed substantial agreement between both observers (k = 0.71, P < 0.001). After consensus, 18 cases (30.5%) were assigned a final p53 IHC class as TP53 wild-type and 41 cases (69.5%) as mutant. The accuracy between the p53 IHC class and TP53 mutation status, after the consensus meeting, was 96.6%. Moreover, the sensitivity and specificity were high 95.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 82.9-99.1% and 100% (95% CI = 75.9-100%)]. CONCLUSIONS: Pattern-based p53 IHC classification is highly reproducible among experienced gynaecological pathologists and accurately reflects TP53 mutations in VSCC. This approach to p53 IHC interpretation offers guidance and provides necessary clarity for resolving the proposed prognostic relevance of final p53 IHC class within HPV-independent VSCC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Standard screening of endometrial cancer (EC) for Lynch syndrome (LS) is gaining traction; however, the prognostic impact of an underlying hereditary etiology is unknown. We established the prevalence, prognosis, and subsequent primary cancer incidence of patients with LS-associated EC in relation to sporadic mismatch repair deficient (MMRd)-EC in the large combined Post Operative Radiation Therapy in Endometrial Carcinoma-1, -2, and -3 trial cohort. METHODS: After MMR-immunohistochemistry, MLH1-promoter methylation testing, and next-generation sequencing, tumors were classified into 3 groups according to the molecular cause of their MMRd-EC. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox model were used for survival analysis. Competing risk analysis was used to estimate the subsequent cancer probability. All statistical tests were 2-sided. RESULTS: Among the 1336 ECs, 410 (30.7%) were MMRd. A total of 380 (92.7%) were fully triaged: 275 (72.4%) were MLH1-hypermethylated MMRd-ECs; 36 (9.5%) LS MMRd-ECs, and 69 (18.2%) MMRd-ECs due to other causes. Limiting screening of EC patients to 60 years or younger or to 70 years or younger would have resulted in missing 18 (50.0%) and 6 (16.7%) LS diagnoses, respectively. Five-year recurrence-free survival was 91.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 83.1% to 100%; hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.16 to 1.24, P = .12) for LS, 95.5% (95% CI = 90.7% to 100%; hazard ratio = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.05 to 0.55, P = .003) for "other" vs 78.6% (95% CI = 73.8% to 83.7%) for MLH1-hypermethylated MMRd-EC. The probability of subsequent LS-associated cancer at 10 years was 11.6% (95% CI = 0.0% to 24.7%), 1.5% (95% CI = 0.0% to 4.3%), and 7.0% (95% CI = 3.0% to 10.9%) within the LS, "other," and MLH1-hypermethylated MMRd-EC groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The LS prevalence in the Post Operative Radiation Therapy in Endometrial Carcinoma trial population was 2.8% and among MMRd-ECs was 9.5%. Patients with LS-associated ECs showed a trend towards better recurrence-free survival and higher risk for second cancers compared with patients with MLH1-hypermethylated MMRd-EC.

RESUMO

HER2 status has not been investigated in the context of the molecular endometrial cancer (EC) classification. Here, we aimed to determine the clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of the HER2 status in the molecularly classified PORTEC-3 trial population of patients with high-risk EC (HREC). HER2 testing was performed on tumor tissues of 407 molecularly classified HREC. HER2 status was determined by HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC; all cases) and subsequent HER2 dual in situ hybridization for cases with any (in) complete moderate to strong membranous HER2 IHC expression. The Χ2 test and Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient were used to compare clinicopathological and molecular features. The Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards models were used for survival analysis. We identified 24 (5.9%) HER2-positive EC of various histological subtypes including serous (n = 9, 37.5%), endometrioid (n = 6, 25.0%), and clear cell (n = 5, 20.8%). HER2 positivity was highly associated with the p53-abnormal subgroup (p53abn, 23/24 cases; p < 0.0001). The correlation between p53abn and the HER2 status (ρ = 0.438; p < 0.0001) was significantly stronger (p < 0.0001) than between serous histology and the HER2 status (ρ = 0.154; p = 0.002). HER2 status did not have independent prognostic value for survival after correction for the molecular classification. Our study strongly suggests that molecular subclass-directed HER2 testing is superior to histotype-directed testing. This insight will be relevant for future trials targeting HER2.
