RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Triple-negative breast cancers display heterogeneity in molecular drivers and immune traits. We previously classified triple-negative breast cancers into four subtypes: luminal androgen receptor (LAR), immunomodulatory, basal-like immune-suppressed (BLIS), and mesenchymal-like (MES). Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subtyping-based therapy in the first-line treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. METHODS: FUTURE-SUPER is an ongoing, open-label, randomised, controlled phase 2 trial being conducted at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC), Shanghai, China. Eligible participants were females aged 18-70 years, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and histologically confirmed, untreated metastatic or recurrent triple-negative breast cancer. After categorising participants into five cohorts according to molecular subtype and genomic biomarkers, participants were randomly assigned (1:1) with a block size of 4, stratified by subtype, to receive, in 28-day cycles, nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2, intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15) alone (control group) or with a subtyping-based regimen (subtyping-based group): pyrotinib (400 mg orally daily) for the LAR-HER2mut subtype, everolimus (10 mg orally daily) for the LAR-PI3K/AKTmut and MES-PI3K/AKTmut subtypes, camrelizumab (200 mg intravenously on days 1 and 15) and famitinib (20 mg orally daily) for the immunomodulatory subtype, and bevacizumab (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 15) for the BLIS/MES-PI3K/AKTWT subtype. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival for the pooled subtyping-based group versus the control group in the intention-to-treat population (all randomly assigned participants). Safety was analysed in all patients with safety records who received at least one dose of study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04395989). FINDINGS: Between July 28, 2020, and Oct 16, 2022, 139 female participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to the subtyping-based group (n=69) or control group (n=70). At the data cutoff (May 31, 2023), the median follow-up was 22·5 months (IQR 15·2-29·0). Median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the pooled subtyping-based group (11·3 months [95% CI 8·6-15·2]) than in the control group (5·8 months [4·0-6·7]; hazard ratio 0·44 [95% CI 0·30-0·65]; p<0·0001). The most common grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia (21 [30%] of 69 in the pooled subtyping-based group vs 16 [23%] of 70 in the control group), anaemia (five [7%] vs none), and increased alanine aminotransferase (four [6%] vs one [1%]). Treatment-related serious adverse events were reported for seven (10%) of 69 patients in the subtyping-based group and none in the control group. No treatment-related deaths were reported in either group. INTERPRETATION: These findings highlight the potential clinical benefits of using molecular subtype-based treatment optimisation in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting a path for further clinical investigation. Phase 3 randomised clinical trials assessing the efficacy of subtyping-based regimens are now underway.

RESUMO

Tumor-infiltrating PD-1hi dysfunctional CD8+ T cells have been identified in several tumors but largely unexplored in breast cancer (BC). Here we aimed to extensively explore PD-1hiCD8+ T cells in BC, focusing on the triple-negative BC (TNBC) subtype. Flow cytometry was used to study the phenotypes and functions of CD8+ T-cell subsets in peripheral blood and surgical specimens from treatment-naive BC patients. RNA-seq expression data generated to dissect the molecular features of tumoral PD-1neg, PD-1lo and PD-1hi CD8+ T cells. Further, the associations between tumoral PD-1hi CD8+ T cells and the clinicopathological features of 503 BC patients were explored. Finally, multiplexed immunohistochemistry (mIHC) was performed to evaluate in situ PD-1hiCD8+ T cells on the tissue microarrays (TMAs, n=328) for prognostic assessment and stratification of TNBC patients. PD-1hiCD8+ T cells found readily detectable in tumor tissues but rarely in peripheral blood. These cells shared the phenotypic and molecular features with exhausted and tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) with a skewed TCR repertoire involvement. Interestingly, PD-1hiCD8+ T cells are in the state of exhaustion characterized by higher T-BET and reduced EOMES expression. PD-1hiCD8+ T cells found preferentially enriched within solid tumors, but predominant stromal infiltration of PD-1hiCD8+ T subset was associated with improved survival in TNBC patients. Taken together, tumoral PD-1hiCD8+ T-cell subpopulation in BC is partially exhausted, and their abundance signifies 'hot' immune status with favorable outcomes. Reinvigorating this population may provide further therapeutic opportunities in TNBC patients.

RESUMO

Breast cancer diagnosed in premenopausal women tends to be more aggressive and the benefit of ovarian function suppression (OFS), at least in certain groups of patients, is well known. There is hesitancy in using OFS in some groups of patients who may otherwise benefit from the treatment. For instance, it is clear that in premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) should be given in the adjuvant setting; however, confusion remains whether premenopausal patients with intermediate-risk disease benefit from GnRHa, given the lack of consensus on its definition in guidelines and clinical practice. Most recent evidence on the long-term efficacy of GnRHa, with up to 20-years of follow-up, reinforced its benefits in premenopausal patients with early-stage breast cancer. In this comprehensive review, we reviewed the long-term efficacy in terms of improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for early-stage HR+ breast cancer and examined evidence from multiple randomized clinical studies to identify the clinicopathological characteristics that correlated with improved DFS and OS with the addition of OFS to adjuvant endocrine therapy. Other aspects of GnRHa, including its efficacy in advanced breast cancer, safety profile, evidence in ovarian function preservation, and the advantages of long-acting formulations were also discussed. By addressing the existing gaps and grey areas regarding the inclusion of OFS as a crucial treatment component for premenopausal breast cancer patients, physicians are more aware of who to administer and the potential impact on survival outcomes.

RESUMO

Background: Toripalimab, a novel PD-1 antibody, is approved for treatment of multiple solid tumors; however, its neoadjuvant use with chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unevaluated. Additionally, induction chemotherapy followed by de-escalation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy remains underexplored. Therefore, we conducted a phase II trial investigating a novel neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy regimen including de-escalation of immunotherapy for early-stage TNBC. Methods: Chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 therapy were sequentially administered in a neoadjuvant setting to female patients with histologically confirmed stage II-III TNBC between June 9, 2020, and March 24, 2022. Patients received neoadjuvant therapy with four cycles of epirubicin-cyclophosphamide every 2 weeks, followed by toripalimab (240 mg) every 3 weeks plus nab-paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was total pathological complete response (tpCR; ypT0/is ypN0). Key secondary endpoints included breast pCR (bpCR; ypT0/is), event-free survival and biomarker analysis. Safety was also assessed. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04418154). Findings: Among 70 enrolled patients (median age, 51 years; 62.9% stage III), 66 completed treatment without progression and subsequently underwent surgery. The percentages of patients with a tpCR and bpCR were 39 of 70 (55.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 43.3-67.6) and 41 of 70 (58.6%, 95% CI 46.2-70.2), respectively. Sixteen (22.9%) patients experienced grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs), frequently neutropenia (12, 17.1%) and leukopenia (11, 15.7%). The most common immune-related AE was hypothyroidism (5, 7.1%, all grade 1-2). Interpretation: Including 12 weeks of toripalimab in neoadjuvant chemotherapy conferred encouraging activity and manageable toxicity in patients with early TNBC, and this regimen warrants further investigation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Patients preoperatively diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) by core needle biopsy (CNB) exhibit a significant risk for upstaging on final pathology, which leads to major concerns of whether axillary staging is required at the primary operation. The present study aimed to identify clinicopathological factors associated with upstaging in patients preoperatively diagnosed with DCIS by CNB. METHODS: The present study enrolled 604 patients (cN0M0) with a preoperative diagnosis of pure DCIS by CNB, who underwent axillary staging between August 2006 and December 2015, at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (Shanghai, China). Predictive factors of upstaging were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 604 patients, 20.03% (n = 121) and 31.95% (n = 193) were upstaged to DCIS with microinvasion (DCISM) and invasive breast cancer (IBC) on final pathology, respectively. Larger tumor size on ultrasonography (> 2 cm) was independently associated with upstaging [odds ratio (OR) 1.558,P = 0.014]. Additionally, patients in lower breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) categories were less likely to be upstaged (4B vs. 5: OR 0.435, P = 0.002; 4C vs. 5: OR 0.502, P = 0.001). Overall, axillary metastasis occurred in 6.79% (n = 41) of patients. Among patients with axillary metastasis, 1.38% (4/290), 3.31% (4/121) and 17.10% (33/193) were in the DCIS, DCISM, and IBC groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: For patients initially diagnosed with DCIS by CNB, larger tumor size on ultrasonography (> 2 cm) and higher BI-RADS category were independent predictive factors of upstaging on final pathology. Thus, axillary staging in patients with smaller tumor sizes and lower BI-RADS category may be omitted, with little downstream risk for upstaging.

RESUMO

Phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), which functions as a marker of endoplasmic reticulum stress, has been reported to be associated with patient prognosis in various cancers. However, little is known about the prognostic value of p-eIF2α in breast cancer, particularly in different breast cancer subtypes. An immunohistochemistry screen for p-eIF2α was performed using a tissue microarray containing 233 tumors and paired peritumoral tissues from female patients diagnosed with breast cancer. The staining results were scored semiquantitatively, and the p-eIF2α expression level in breast cancer and its potential prognostic value were investigated. In this retrospective cohort study, we found that p-eIF2α levels were significantly upregulated in breast cancer (P < 0.001). p-eIF2α level was negatively correlated with lymph node status (P = 0.039). Survival analysis by Kaplan-Meier estimation and Cox regression showed that p-eIF2α level was correlated with better disease free survival (P = 0.026) and served as an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.046) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Our study revealed that p-eIF2α was upregulated in breast cancer and represented a novel predictor of prognosis in patients with triple-negative subtype.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Since mastectomy remained the primary strategy for treating breast cancer in China, post-mastectomy reconstruction is of great importance in the Chinese population. The current study aimed to assess the current status of breast reconstruction in China. METHODS: We reviewed all patients who received breast reconstruction from August 2000 to July 2015 in the Department of Breast Surgery in our institute. Patients' baseline characteristics, reconstruction strategy, final pathology and loco-regional recurrence (LRR) information were collected. RESULTS: A total of 951 breast reconstructions were conducted during the past 15 years, among which 247 (27.0%) were abdominal flap reconstruction; 471 (51.5%) were latissimus dorsi myocutaneous ± implant; and 233 (25.5%) were prosthesis-based reconstruction. The majority of cases (78.1%) were invasive breast cancer and up to 894 cases (94.0%) were immediate reconstruction. Prosthesis-based reconstruction rapidly increased in recent years, and was associated with bilateral reconstruction, contralateral augmentation and higher complications. 18 patients (2.0%) developed local-regional recurrence at the median follow-up time of 26.6 months (range, 3.7-62.0 months). A total of 66 nipple-areolar complex-sparing mastectomies (NSMs) (6.9%) were performed, none of which developed recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Breast reconstruction cases increased over the 15 years with the change of paradigm. Most strikingly, prosthesis-based reconstruction rapidly gained its prevalence and became the most common strategy. NSM was only performed for highly selected patients. Patients with breast reconstruction were able to achieve satisfactory loco-regional control in our cohort.
