e12077 Background: The AJCC 8th edition Breast Cancer Staging system includes biomarkers (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Her2), grade and a genomic assay, to better reflect outcomes, compared to the 7th edition. We used databases with anatomic, biomarker and genomic information to determine if the 8th edition reflects biology better than the 7th edition. Methods: 696 breast cancer patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Text Information Extraction System (TIES) were staged both with 7th and 8th edition. Results: From the 7th to 8th editions, 66% of stage 2 patients migrated (64% to stage 1, 1.5% to stage 3). 36% of stage 3 patients migrated (22% to stage 1, 13% to stage 2). We analyzed the differences between stage 1 and 2 in both editions, and the overall survival hazard ratio calculated using Cox regression was greater in the 8th edition than the 7th (HR=1.50, HR=1.22 respectively). We performed Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and found that gene sets related to cell cycle and cell proliferation (E2F targets, G2M checkpoint) were significantly enriched in higher stage in 8th edition but not 7th. Mutant Allele Tumor Heterogeneity (MATH) and Homologous Recombination Defects (HRD) were elevated in higher stages in the 8th edition (p=0.022, p<0.001 respectively), but not the 7th. Immune cells (CD8 Tcell, NK cell) as well as CYT (Immune cytolytic activity score), and Tcell exhaustion markers (PD1, PDL1) were all found to be elevated in higher stage in 8th edition, but not 7th. Conclusions: The 8th edition AJCC Breast Cancer Staging system categorizes cancers by aggressive biology better than the 7th edition. We also found that higher stage tumors trigger an enhanced immune response, but are unable to overcome the aggressive cancer biology.
