Background Molecular subtype in invasive breast cancer guides systemic therapy. It is unknown whether molecular subtype should also be considered to tailor surgical therapy. The present investigation was designed to evaluate whether breast cancer subtype impacted surgical margins in patients with invasive breast cancer stage I through III undergoing breast-conserving therapy. Methods Data from 2 randomized trials evaluating cavity shave margins (CSM) on margin status in patients undergoing partial mastectomy (PM) were used for this analysis. Patients were included if invasive carcinoma was present in the PM specimen and data for all 3 receptors (ER, PR, and HER2) were known. Patients were classified as luminal if they were ER and/or PR positive; HER2 enriched if they were ER and PR negative but HER2 positive; and TN if they were negative for all 3 receptors. The impact of subtype on the margin status was evaluated at completion of standard PM, prior to randomization to CSM versus no CSM. Non-parametric statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Version 26. Results Molecular subtype was significantly correlated with race ( P = .011), palpability ( P = .007), and grade ( P < .001). Subtype did not correlate with Hispanic ethnicity ( P = .760) or lymphovascular invasion ( P = .756). In this cohort, the overall positive margin rate was 33.7%. This did not vary based on molecular subtype (positive margin rate 33.7% for patients with luminal tumors vs 36.4% for those with TN tumors, P = .425). Discussion Molecular subtype does not predict margin status. Therefore, molecular subtype should not, independent of other factors, influence surgical decision-making.

83 Background: A consensus statement was recently published by SSO/ASTRO on margins for stage I and II invasive breast cancer treated with breast conserving surgery (BCS). We examined patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent BCS to determine if margin status and molecular subtype influence outcomes. Methods: We the reviewed charts of 754 Stage I-III breast cancer patients treated with BCS from 2003-2010. Margin status was defined as negative ≥ 2mm, close < 2mm and positive as tumor on ink. Conventional receptor analyses were used as markers for molecular subtype classification (luminal A, luminal B, Her2 positive, and basal). Clinicopathologic variables were tested using the Fisher’s exact, Chi-square, ANOVA F-test, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. A Cox proportional - Hazards model was used to measure the impact of these variables on locoregional recurrence (LRR), breast cancer-specific (BCSS) and overall survival (OS). Results: The median age of the cohort was 58 (range 27-89 years). Most were white (88%), had T1 tumors (76%), luminal A tumors (66%), invasive ductal histology (80%), and were node negative (76%). Of the 754 patients, 26% had close margins, 2% positive margins, and 9% unknown margins. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years, OS was 92%. Twenty eight patients had a LRR with a median time to recurrence of 5.1 years. On multivariate analysis, molecular subtype, pathologic grade (p=0.01), and use of radiation (p<0.0001) were the only significant predictors of LRR. Unknown subtype, compared to Luminal A, was less likely to have a LRR (p=0.04). Basal (p=0.0002), Her2+ (p=0.03), Luminal B (p=0.002) and unknown subtype (p=0.04) had worse BCSS compared to Luminal A tumors. Margins had no impact on LRR or BCSS but those with close margins and unknown margins had worse OS compared to negative margins (p=0.01, p=0.007). Variables predictive of OS were margins, age, race, node status, chemotherapy, anti-endocrine therapy, and radiation. Conclusions: In this cohort treated with BCS, molecular subtype was a predictor of LRR and BCSS but not OS. Margin status did not impact LRR and BCSS. Although margin status was a predictor of OS, tumor biology remains the significant determinant of outcome.

e11546 Background: As many Asian patients want breast conserving therapy (BCT), use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increase in preoperative diagnosis for breast cancer. But the impact of MRI on these patients has not been unclear. Methods: From January 2008 to July 2008, 423 patients underwent breast cancer surgery in National Cancer Center, Korea. We enrolled 357 patients consecutively in this retrospective study; 290 patients (non-MRI group) with preoperative mammography (MMG) and ultrasonography (US) vs. 66 patients (MRI group) with additional MRI to MMG, US and excluded 67 patients (42 patients with preoperative chemotherapy, 8 patients with ipsilateral recurrence, 17 patients whose MRI showed no residual lesion after excisional biopsy). We examined MRI effect on mastectomy rate, intraoperative conversion from BCT to mastectomy, positive margin rate in frozen specimen in both group. In MRI group, we evaluated the correlation between tumor size on US, MRI and pathologic tumor size. Results: Mean age of this study was 48.89 years (Non-MRI group: 50.70 years vs. MRI group: 46.33 years, p=0.001). The rate of mastectomy wasn’t different in both groups (Non-MRI group: 13.7% vs. MRI group: 19.4%, p=0.252). Intraoperative conversion to mastectomy was performed frequently in MRI group. (Non-MRI group: 1.7% vs. MRI group: 7.5%, p=0.023). But positive margin rate in frozen specimen was similar in both groups (Non-MRI group: 23.2% vs. MRI group: 34.0%, p=0.111). In MRI group, mean tumor size on MRI, US was 3.07cm, 1.98cm respectively. Mean pathologic tumor size was 2.67cm. The tumor size on MRI correlated strongly with the pathologic tumor size. The correlation coefficient was 0.732 (p=0.0001). But the tumor size on US didn’t correlate with the pathologic tumor size (p=0.066). In twenty nine patients whose MMG showed suspicious microcalcification, tumor size on MRI also correlated strongly with pathologic tumor size. The correlation coefficient was 0.693 (p=0.0001). But US didn’t show the correlation with the pathologic tumor size in these patients. Conclusions: Preoperative breast MRI didn’t give the impact on breast cancer surgery in Asian patients and could overestimate the size of tumor. But it could strongly correlate with the pathologic tumor size in Asian patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e13507 Background: Recent advances in transcriptomics have resulted in the emergence of several publicly available breast cancer RNA-Seq datasets, such as TCGA, SCAN-B, and METABRIC. However, molecular predictors cannot be applied across datasets without the correction of batch differences. In this study, we demonstrate a homogenization algorithm that allows the transfer of molecular subtype predictors from one RNA-Seq cohort to another. The algorithm only uses cohort-level RNA-Seq summary statistics, and therefore, does not require joint normalization of both datasets nor the transfer of patient information. Using this approach, we transferred a breast cancer subtype (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2+, Basal) predictor trained on SCAN-B data to accurately predict subtypes from TCGA. Methods: First, we randomly split the TCGA cohort (n = 481 Luminal A, n = 189 Luminal B, n = 73 Her2+, n = 168 Basal) into two sets: TCGA-train and held-out TCGA-test (n = 455 and n = 456, respectively). Second, the SCAN-B cohort (n = 837) was homogenized with the TCGA-train set. Third, a molecular subtype predictor, based on a logistic regression model, was trained on homogenized SCAN-B RNA-Seq samples and used to predict the subtypes of TCGA-test RNA-Seq samples. For baseline comparison, a similar predictor trained on the non-homogenized SCAN-B cohort was tested on the TCGA-test set. The experimental framework was iterated 250 times. Reported P-values reflect a paired one-sided t-test. Results: To quantify model performance, we measured the average F1 score for each tumor subtype prediction from the held-out TCGA test set with and without cohort homogenization. The average F1 scores with vs. without homogenization were: Luminal A, 0.88 vs. 0.85 ( P< 1e-69); Luminal B, 0.74 vs. 0.51 ( P< 1e-183); Her2+, 0.73 vs. 0.53 ( P< 1e-99); Basal, 0.98 vs. 0.97 ( P< 1e-53). Overall, homogenization significantly outperformed no homogenization. Conclusions: We developed a novel homogenization algorithm that accurately transfers subtype predictors across diverse, independent breast cancer cohorts.

Optimum tissue resection volume for patients with invasive breast cancer undergoing breast conserving surgery following neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is not known. We compared positive margin and in-breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) between 2 groups that were created based on radiologic tumor size (RTS (cm3)) at diagnosis, RTS post-NAT, and volume of tissue resected (VTL): Pre-NAT group, patients with VTL closer to RTS at diagnosis, and post-NAT group, patients with VTL closer to post-NAT RTS. 82 patients with 84 breast cancers treated with NAT between 2007 and 2017 who had pre- and post-NAT imaging were identified from a prospectively maintained database. RTS at diagnosis, RTS post-NAT, and VTL were determined. Clinical and treatment characteristics, IBTR, and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between pre-NAT (n = 51) and post-NAT (n = 33) groups. Compared to post-NAT patients, pre-NAT patients had smaller RTS at presentation (9.2 vs. 33.5 cm3, P < .001) and post-NAT (1.2 vs. 8.2 cm3, P = .024). At median follow-up of 4 years, there were no differences between groups in pathologic tumor size, positive margin rate, adjuvant therapy, IBTR, or DFS. Resection volumes that matched RTS on post-NAT imaging were not associated with increased positive margins or IBTR. It may be appropriate to use post-NAT imaging to guide lumpectomy volume.

Invasive oncological procedures affect the remaining tumor cells by increasing their survival, proliferation, and migration through the induction of wound healing response. The phenomena of local relapse after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has resulted in a series of research and clinical trials with the aim of assessing whether localized intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), may be beneficial in inhibiting local recurrences. Therefore, it is essential to assess the impact of intraoperative radiotherapy in modulating the immunological response and wound healing process. Thus, we decided to perform a quantitative analysis of the composition of surgical wound fluids (SWF) in two groups of breast cancer (BC) patients: those treated with BCS followed by IORT, and those who underwent BCS alone. We found that several cytokines, which are believed to have anti-tumor properties, were highly expressed in the luminal A breast cancer subtype in the IORT treatment group. Interestingly, we also found significant differences between IORT patients with tumors of different molecular subtypes. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that IORT treatment might be beneficial in changing the tumor bed microenvironment, making it less favorable for tumor recurrence due to decreased concentration of tumor-facilitating cytokines, especially in the luminal A subtype of BC.
