e12620 Background: Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been suggested to be correlated with the prognosis of patients with breast cancer (BC). However, the results still remain controversial. The goal of our study was to evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of NLR in early stage triple negative and HER2-pos breast cancer patients undergoing NAC. Methods: 96 female patients (pts) with histologically proven breast cancer (51 TNBC, and 45 HER2 pos) were analysed in this retrospective analysis. The NLR before the initiation of NAC was documented. Histopathological response in surgically removed specimens was evaluated using the Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) Calculator (by MD Anderson Cancer Center). The pCR was defined as no invasive tumor in primary tumor bed and lymph nodes. The NLR variable was analyzed as both continuous and categorical. The impact on pCR and RCB was tested using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Willis or the Chi-2 test, respectively. Results: Only 4 categories of NAC were used: in TNBC 4 x ACdd followed by 12 x PCL (38 pts) or 4 x ACdd followed by 12 x PCL+ carboplatin AUC 1.0-2 (13 pts), in HER2-pos 39 pts received 6 x TCH (docetaxel + tratuzumab + carboplatin AUC 6) and 6 pts 4 x ACdd followed by 12 x PCL iv + 4 x trastuzumab. In 27 pts (53%) with TNBC and 24 pts (53%) with HER2-pos breast cancer pCR was obtained after NAC. RCB distribution was: 0-53.1%, 1-22%, 2-17.6%, 3-7.3%. No association with NLR and pCR could be observed (p > 0.26). No association with NLR and RCB could be observed (p > 0.18). Conclusions: In our retrospective analysis we could not demonstrate predictive or prognostic value of NLR in the cohort of early stage triple negative and HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with NAC. Further studies are planned in a group of patients with Luminal B, HER2 – negative breast cancer, who received NAC.

PurposeThe basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor (bHLH) transcription factor Twist1 plays a key role in embryonic development and tumorigenesis. p53 is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor in cancer. Both proteins play a key and significant role in breast cancer tumorigenesis. However, the regulatory mechanism and clinical significance of their co-expression in this disease remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression patterns of p53 and Twist1 and determine their association with patient prognosis in breast cancer. We also investigated whether their co-expression could be a potential marker for predicting patient prognosis in this disease.MethodsTwist1 and mutant p53 expression in 408 breast cancer patient samples were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Kaplan-Meier Plotter was used to analyze the correlation between co-expression of Twist1 and wild-type or mutant p53 and prognosis for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and nomograms were used to explore the independent prognostic factors in disease-free survival (DFS) and OS in this cohort.ResultsOf the 408 patients enrolled, 237 (58%) had high mutant p53 expression. Two-hundred twenty patients (53.9%) stained positive for Twist1, and 188 cases were Twist1-negative. Furthermore, patients that co-expressed Twist1 and mutant p53 (T+P+) had significantly advanced-stage breast cancer [stage III, 61/89 T+P+ (68.5%) vs. 28/89 T-P- (31.5%); stage II, 63/104 T+P+ (60.6%)vs. 41/104 T-P- (39.4%)]. Co-expression was negatively related to early clinical stage (i.e., stages 0 and I; P = 0.039). T+P+ breast cancer patients also had worse DFS (95% CI = 1.217–7.499, P = 0.017) and OS (95% CI = 1.009–9.272, P = 0.048). Elevated Twist1 and mutant p53 expression predicted shorter RFS in basal-like patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified three variables (i.e., lymph node involvement, larger tumor, and T+P+) as independent prognostic factors for DFS. Lymph node involvement and T+P+ were also independent factors for OS in this cohort. The total risk scores and nomograms were reliable for predicting DFS and OS in breast cancer patients.ConclusionsOur results revealed that co-expression of mutant p53 and Twist1 was associated with advanced clinical stage, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype, distant metastasis, and shorter DFS and OS in breast cancer patients. Furthermore, lymph nodes status and co-expression of Twist1 and mutant p53 were classified as independent factors for DFS and OS in this cohort. Co-evaluation of mutant p53 and Twist1 might be an appropriate tool for predicting breast cancer patient outcome.

e12113 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important modality in breast cancer treatment. We sought to identify pre-treatment prognostic factors in patients who had positron emission tomography paired with diagnostic quality contrast-enhanced CT (PET/CT) prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with respect to pathologic complete response (pCR) , survival and relapse-free survival (RFS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 118 breast cancer patients who had pre-treatment PET/CT imaging and received NAC from 2008-2014. We collected data on molecular markers, PET/CT, pCR, survival, and disease status. Results: The median follow up was 44 months(range 7.3-101.5),median age was 51 years; 47% were stage II, 53% stage III. 52% of patients had hormone receptor (HR) positive/HER2 negative disease, 31% of tumors were HER2 positive, and 17% of tumors were triple-negative. 92.5% with HER2 positive tumors received NAC containing at least one HER2 targeted agent. Pre-treatment standard uptake value (SUV) max of the primary breast tumor showed no statistically significant relationship to survival, RFS, or pCR. PET avid (>2 SUV) extra-axillary nodes such as internal mammary and supraclavicular was associated with a non-statistically significant trend towards reduced RFS (p=0.06, HR=0.13-1.06). pCR overall was 37.5% for HER2 positive tumors, 15% in triple-negative tumors, and 8% in HR positive/HER2 negative tumors. Log-rank analysis with post-hoc pairwise comparisons showed a significant difference between the RFS of triple-negative tumors and HER2 positive tumors (p=0.001), while comparison between HR positive/HER2 negative and HER2 positive was not statistically significant (p=0.11). Multivariate cox regression analysis, which included grade and stage of tumors, showed HER2 positivity to be associated with a favorable outcome (p=0.04, HR=0.22 (0.05-0.94)). Conclusions: Within this cohort, pre-treatment SUV max of the primary tumor showed no prognostic value with regard pCR or RFS. PET avid extra-axillary metastasis trended towards reduced RFS. Patients with HER2 positive tumors had the highest pCR and RFS comparable to classically favorable subgroups such as HR positive/HER 2 negative.

134 Background: Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is the structural component of caveolae, compartments within the plasma membrane that sequester signaling molecules, thus facilitating molecular “hot spots”. The role of CAV1 in breast cancer is an active area of investigation. We sought to understand the clinical and pathological characteristics of CAV1 positive tumors (CAV 1+) through a retrospective analysis of molecularly-profiled breast cancer patients. Methods: 2,728 breast cancer patients molecularly profiled with a commercial assay (Caris Life Sciences) were evaluated retrospectively for expression of various biomarkers by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization. JMP statistical analysis tool was used to ascertain distributional differences. Results: Using a threshold of 2+ and 30%, 121/2728 (4%) of patients exhibited CAV1 over-expression by IHC. To observe clinicopathologic differences in the CAV1 + and CAV1- tumors, distribution by age, metastatic disease, and triple negative histology (TNBC) were analyzed. Average age for both groups was 55. 39% vs. 54% were metastatic and 74% vs. 26% were TNBC (p = 0.0001) among CAV1+ and CAV1- groups, respectively. To evaluate the potential oncogenic associations of CAV1, we evaluated the relationship between CAV1+ and various oncogenic pathways. Positive EGFR protein expression and presence of EGFR gene amplification, as well as cKIT over-expression associated with CAV1+ (all p-values < 0.001), whereas HER2 expression and amplification were associated with CAV1- (p = 0.001 for both). In addition, higher Ki67, p53 and TOP2A expression by IHC were observed in CAV1+ patients compared to the CAV1- subgroup (90% vs. 66%, 50% vs. 36%, 84% vs. 65% ; all p-values < 0.0001). Biomarker expression differences that did not meet statistical significance: ERCC1, MGMT, PDGFRA, RRM1, SPARC, TS and TOPO1. Conclusions: The majority of CAV1+ breast cancers are comprised of triple negative, higher proliferative tumors, with aberrant p53 expression as well as expression of other growth factor signaling proteins. This data supports the potential role of CAV1 in fostering molecular hubs for signaling and CAV-1 being a potential target for future therapeutic investigation in TNBC.
