1028 Background: The development of brain metastases is usually a fatal event in the history of breast cancer patients with metastatic disease other than brain (MDOB). We previously developed a global nomogram that includes immune-histochemical phenotype to predict the occurrence of brain metastasis (BM). We hypothesized that a nomogram specific to triple negative tumor (TN) could improve prediction BM occurrence in patients with MDOB, thus allowing allocation of preventive treatment more efficiently. Methods: Patients with metastatic BC presenting between 2000 and February 2007 treated at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center were included in this retrospective analysis. We tested 17 variables and developed a multivariate model to predict occurrence of subsequent BM in TN tumors and created a nomogram that could be used for individual prediction. The model was cross-validated by bootstrapping and compared to the global nomogram. Results: Among 2,136 patients with metastatic breast cancer including 641 patients with TN tumors, 362 developed BM during follow-up: young age, histological characteristics, short delay between initial diagnosis and MDOB, number of metastatic sites and initial number of metastatic nodes were significantly and independently associated with subsequent BM. The nomogram to predict BM developed on the TN population provided a better discrimination (area under the ROC curve [AUC] = 0.62) than the global nomogram (AUC = 0.58) for the TN tumors. Prediction with the specific nomogram and the global nomogram were highly correlated (correlation factor = 0.67, p < 0.0001). However, when a threshold at 15% was used, we observed 27% of discordant cases and the sensitivity of the specific nomogram was better. Conclusions: We developed a specific tool to predict subsequent BM in patients with metastatic TN breast cancer. This nomogram outperformed a global nomogram. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background Breast cancer patients generally have a worse prognosis in presence of liver metastasis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors and prognosis of breast cancer patients with liver metastases (BCLM). Methods Data on 311,573 breast cancer patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database diagnosed 2010 to 2016 and 1728 BCLM patients from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) were analyzed for further exploration. We extracted the clinicopathological characteristics for analysis by two independent authors. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the risk of liver metastases. Survival analysis was completed using Cox proportional hazards regression model and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results Young age, invasive ductal carcinoma, higher pathological grade, and subtype of triple-negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+), were associated with increased risk of the liver metastases. The median overall survival (OS) after BCLM diagnosis was 20.0 months in the SEER database and 27.3 months in the FUSCC dataset. We observed that hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2+ patients had the longest median OS 38.0 for SEER vs. 34.0months for FUSCC), whereas triple-negative breast cancer had the poorest OS (9.0 vs. 15.6 months) in both SEER and FUSCC. According to the results from the FUSCC, the subtype of HR+/HER2+ (hazard ratio (HR)=2.62; 95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.88-3.66; P<0.001) and HR-/HER2+ (HR=3.43; 95% CI=2.28-5.15; P<0.001) were associated with a significantly increased death risk in comparison with subtype of HR+/HER2-, if the patients did not receive HER2-targeted therapy. For BCLM patients who had received HER2-targeted therapy, however, HR+/HER2+ was an indicator for decreased death risk in comparison of the subtype of HR+/HER2- (HR=0.74; 95% CI=0.58-0.95; P<0.001). Conclusions BCLM is associated with poor survival, depending on HR/HER2-defined subtypes. Patients with HR+/HER2+ subtype displayed the longest median survival than HR+/HER2- and triple-negative BCLM patients. HER2-targeted therapy should be recommended for HER2+ BCLM patients.

e14201 Background: Inflammatory response exacerbates mechanisms linked to tumor growth and dissemination. As an index of systemic inflammatory marker, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may be a predictive biomarker of both prognosis and outcome in several malignancies. However very few reports have addressed the association of change in NLR and outcome in operable breast cancer. We evaluated preoperative NLR and postoperative NLR to assess which one would be predictive of disease outcome in triple negative breast cancer patients. Methods: This study included 67 stage I-III triple negative breast cancer patients diagnosed at HCG Cancer center, between 2013 to 2015. Those patients who underwent upfront surgery were included in the study. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those without adequate medical records were excluded. The NLR was calculated from the differential count by dividing neutrophil percentage with lymphocyte percentage. All preoperative NLRs were calculated from medical records, at the first visit. Postoperative NLR was obtained before first cycle chemotherapy. The NLR was divided into high if ratio is > 3 and low if it is ≤ 3. We evaluated prognostic value of NLR on 3 year DFS. Results: The median preoperative NLR was 2.52 (Range 0.77-8.6). The pre op NLR was high in 19 patients (28%) and low in 48 patients (72%). There was no significant difference between two groups in baseline characteristics. Among the preoperative High and low NLR groups, 3 year DFS is statistically significant. The median postoperative NLR was 2.23 (Range 0.89-8.1). The post operative NLR was high in 7 patients (11%) and low in 60 patients (89%). Among the postoperative High and low NLR groups, 3 year DFS is statistically not significant. The 12 (63%) patients in the high preoperative NLR patients were converted to of the low NLR after surgery. Conclusions: Preoperative NLR correlated with outcome in operable triple negative breast cancer than postoperative NLR. The NLR kinetics might be an index of response to the treatment which needs to be evaluated in prospective studies. Drawbacks of the study: single centre, retrospective study and small sample size.[Table: see text][Table: see text]

1051 Background: Matching molecular alterations in patients with breast cancer to targeted therapy may increase response rates. Methods: We analyzed 22 sequential breast cancer patients with next generation sequencing (NGS) profiling of their tumors profiling (FoundationOne) treated on Phase I trials at the Clinical Center for Targeted Therapy at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Objectives included: (1) characterize molecular alterations including mutations, amplifications and deletions, (2) evaluate associations between molecular alterations and response to therapy. Results: Twenty-two breast cancer patients, all female with median age 56 years were included. Twenty-one of 22 of patients (95%) analyzed demonstrated at least one molecular alteration. Twenty-one of 22 patients were evaluable for response to therapy (1 patient had not yet reached restaging). Sixteen patients were treated on Phase I trials with targeted therapy that was either directly or indirectly associated with a molecular alteration. Seven of these 16 patients (44%) achieved stable disease (SD) ≥6 months/partial response (PR)/complete response (CR) including 3 patients with PR and 1 patient with CR. Examples of molecular alterations include: mutations in PIK3CA (8 patients), PIK3R1 (2 patients), PTEN (1 patient), cMET (1 patient), NF1 (one patient); amplifications in CCND1 (8 patients), FGFR1 (4 patients), MYC (3 patients), MCL1 (3 patients), IRS2 (2 patients) and CCNE1(1 patient). Conclusions: A majority of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors underwent NGS profiling demonstrated molecular alterations. Of the 9 patients who had either SD≥6 months/PR/CR on Phase I treatment, 7 (78%) had molecular alterations, either directly or indirectly associated with therapy. Further investigation of larger cohorts of patients with NGS is ongoing.
