ObjectiveThe pathogenesis of serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) is still unknown. Recently, endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (EIC) was proposed to be the precursor lesion of SOC. This study examines the model of EIC as precursor for SOC.MethodsCases of SOC with a noninvasive or superficially invasive serous lesion, a hyperplastic lesion with/without atypia, or EIC in the endometrium were selected for inclusion in this study. Tissue sections from both ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and the uterus were extensively reviewed by an expert gynecopathologist. For both EIC and SOC, immunostaining for p53, Ki-67, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor; TP53 mutation analysis; and in situ ploidy analysis were performed.ResultsNine cases of SOC with concurrent EIC in the endometrium were identified. Immunostaining for p53, Ki-67, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor revealed almost identical expression patterns and similar intensities in each pair of EIC and coincident SOC. Identical TP53 mutations were found in SOC and coinciding EIC in 33% of the cases, suggesting a clonal origin. DNA ploidy analysis, as a marker for neoplastic progression, demonstrated an increased number of aneuploid nuclei in SOC compared to their corresponding EIC (P = 0.039). In addition, the mean amount of DNA per nucleus in SOC was higher (ie, more aneuploid) compared to EIC (P = 0.039).ConclusionThis study provides a first indication of EIC as possible precursor lesion for SOC. This finding could have major clinical implications for future ovarian cancer management and underscores EIC as a possible target for early SOC detection and prevention.

Objective. While the value of Ki-67 has been recognized in breast cancer, controversy also exists. The goal of this study is to show the prognostic value of Ki-67 according to progesterone receptor (PgR) expression in patients who have estrogen receptor- (ER-) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2- (HER2-) negative early breast cancer. Methods. The records of nonmetastatic invasive breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at a single institution between 2009 and 2012 were reviewed. Primary end point was recurrence-free survival (RFS), and secondary end point was overall survival (OS). Ki-67 and PgR were assessed with immunohistochemistry for the tumor after surgery. Results. A total of 1848 patients were enrolled in this study. 223 (12%) patients had high (≥10%) Ki-67, and 1625 (88%) had low Ki-67 expression. Significantly worse RFS and OS were observed in the high vs. low Ki-67 expression only when the PgR was low (<20%) (p<0.001 and 0.005, respectively, for RFS and OS). There was no significant difference in RFS and OS according to Ki-67 when the PgR was high (p=0.120 and 0.076). RFS of four groups according to high/low Ki-67 and PgR expression was compared. The low PgR and high Ki-67 expression group showed worst outcome among them (p<0.001). In a multivariate analysis, high Ki-67 was an independent prognostic factor when the PgR was low (HR 3.05; 95% CI 1.50–6.19; p=0.002). Conclusions. Ki-67 had a value as a prognostic factor only under low PgR expression level in early breast cancer. PgR should be considered in evaluating the prognosis of breast cancer patients using Ki-67.

✓ Consecutive paraffin sections of 105 astrocytomas and 15 oligoastrocytomas were examined for expression of p53, MIB-1 (Ki-67), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The tumors had been examined previously for genetic abnormalities and by flow cytometry. Regardless of the tumor's stage and grade and the patient's age and gender, p53 expression was found in 40% of tumors. Although p53 expression was associated with a loss on chromosome 17p and was more frequent in aneuploid tumors, it had no association with survival time. The MIB-1 and PCNA labeling indices increased with increasing tumor grade but showed no association with other clinicopathological parameters. In individual tumors, there was poor concordance between any of the variables (MIB-1, PCNA, and p53). Results for p53 and MIB-1 were similar for both astrocytomas and oligoastrocytomas. The MIB-1 and PCNA values appeared to have prognostic utility in univariate analysis but not after adjusting for patient age and tumor grade. The poor concordance between MIB-1 and PCNA in individual tumors indicates that any one means of assessing proliferative potential in gliomas may not be reliable.

Metastatic carcinoma of urogenital origin is a common cause of mortality in free-ranging California sea lions (Zalophus californianus). The etiology of this cancer is likely multifactorial, with viral infection, genetic factors, and exposure to environmental organochlorine contaminants possible contributing factors. In this study, expression of estrogen receptor α (ER α), progesterone receptor (PR), p53, and Ki67 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 12 sea lions with metastatic carcinoma, genital epithelial dysplasia, and intraepithelial neoplasia; 4 with genital epithelial dysplasia and intraepithelial neoplasia without metastases; and 6 control animals. Dysplastic and neoplastic lesions were identified in multiple areas of the cervix, vagina, penis, prepuce, and urethra in affected animals, suggesting multicentric development. Lesions were graded according to degree of epithelial dysplasia and infiltration and lesions of different grades were evaluated separately. Estrogen receptor expression was lower in intraepithelial lesions compared with normal genital epithelium, and expression in metastatic lesions was completely absent. There was progesterone receptor expression in neoplastic cells in intraepithelial lesions of all grades and in metastases, with no significant difference between lesion grades or between control and affected epithelium. Ki67 index and p53 expression increased with lesion grade and were higher in lesions than normal epithelium. Metastatic tumors exhibited highly variable morphology; however, proliferation index, ER α, PR, and p53 expression were similar in tumors with different patterns of growth. These results suggest that endogenous hormones, environmental contaminants that interact with steroid hormone receptors, and alterations in p53 may play a role in urogenital carcinogenesis in California sea lions.

e11523 Background: DCIS is a heterogeneous pre-invasive carcinoma with a spectrum of clinical behavior. Patients with ER+ IC have better outcomes compared to ER- patients. FOXA1 and GATA 3 family of transcription factors have been shown to be associated with hormone receptors (ER and PR) and other variables of good prognosis with better overall and relapse-free survival rate. The specific aim of this study is to analyze the expression of these novel biological markers: FOXA1, GATA-3, with recognized markers: MIB-1(Ki-67) and HER2 /neu in DCIS patients with/without associated IC. Methods: Sixty-nine (69) cases of DCIS [(fifty two (52) cases in ER+; seventeen (17) in ER-] were retrieved from our Pathology database. The expressions of the biological markers are analyzed by using a panel of immunohistochemical stains. FOXA1, GATA 3, ER, PR are nuclear stains, a cumulative “H score” is derived based on proportionality (PS) and intensity scores (IS). A proliferation index (PI) is calculated for MIB-1 (Ki67) nuclear stain (low <10%, moderate 11–25%, high 26–50%, very high>50%). Her2/neu is scored as per guidelines for HercepTest (0, or 1+ =negative, 2+ =weakly positive, 3+ =strongly positive). Results: DCIS is categorized into low grade (LG) (nuclear grade 1 and 2), high grade (HG) (grade 3). In the HGDCIS (n=48), four (4) cases had IC after a mean of 7.75 years; three cases of recurrent DCIS after a mean 6 years. No recurrent IC or DCIS is seen in the LGDCIS (n=21) group. The results are shown in the Table . Conclusions: (1) Decreased expression of GATA 3 is observed in HGDCIS ER- group may be a contributor to higher recurrence observed in this group (14%) versus (0%) in ER+ group. (2) A strong expression of FOXA, GATA3, low Ki-67 index, absent Her 2 expression are characteristically seen in our ER+ DCIS group, as previously described in IC. 3. Comparing the response to therapy and outcome in the ER+ and ER- groups is on going. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e12079 Background: The expression status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 antigen (Ki-67) divides breast cancer into different subtypes. Changes in these biomarkers during treatment alter the overall treatment decision and affect prognosis. To date, few studies have investigated the effects of changes in these biomarkers throughout neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on patient prognosis. Methods: A total of 482 patients who received NAC were enrolled. The expression of ER, PR and Ki-67 between pre- and posttherapy specimens was studied by immunohistochemical methods. Physical and imaging examinations based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guidelines version 1.1 were utilized to assess the treatment response. The impact of these biomarkers status changes on survival was then tested for statistical significance using a Cox proportional hazards regression model for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The rate of discordance for ER, PR and Ki-67 was 10.37%, 17.01% and 77.39%, respectively, in which the PR positive-to-negative conversion was the most common change. A statistically significant differential overall survival (OS) related to biomarkers status throughout NAC (P<.01) was noted. The risk of death in patients with a PR positive-to-negative conversion was 6.58 times greater than that of stable PR expression (P=.002). The risk of disease recurrence in patients with increased Ki-67 expression was 1.91 times greater than that of stable Ki-67 expression (P=.02). Furthermore, we validated both of them as independent predictors of poor prognosis. Conclusions: We concluded that inconsistent expression of biomarkers can significantly affect patient prognosis. We suggest that biomarkers investigations during NAC may potentially improve patient management and survival. Survival result that compared with concordance and discondance in ER, PR and Ki-67.
