AbstractIntroductionThe three different breast cancer subtypes (Luminal, HER2-positive and triple negative (TNBCs) display different natural history and sensitivity to treatment, but little is known about whether residual axillary disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) carries a different prognostic value by BC subtype.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated axillary involvement (0, 1 to 3 positive nodes, ≥ 4 positive nodes) on surgical specimens from a cohort of T1-T3NxM0 BC patients treated with NAC between 2002 and 2012. We analyzed the association between nodal involvement (ypN) binned into 3 classes (0; [1-3];4 or more), relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) among the global population, and according to BC subtypes.Results1197 patients were included in the analysis (luminal (n = 526, 43.9%), TNBCs (n = 376, 31.4%), HER2-positive BCs (n = 295, 24.6%)). After a median follow-up of 110.5 months, ypN was significantly associated with RFS, but this effect was different by BC subtype (Pinteraction= 0.004), and this effect was nonlinear. In the luminal subgroup, RFS was impaired in patients with 4 or more nodes involved (HR=2.8; 95% CI [1.93;4.06], p<0.001) when compared with ypN0, while it was not in patients with 1 to 3 nodes (HR=1.24, 95% CI = [0,86;1.79]). In patients with TNBC, both 1-3N+ and ≥ 4 N+ classes were associated with a decreased RFS (HR=3.19, 95%CI= [2.05; 4.98] and HR=4.83, 95%CI= [3.06; 7.63], respectively versus ypN0, p< 0.001). Similar decreased prognosis were observed among patients with HER2-positive BC (1-3N+: HR=2.7, 95%CI= [1.64; 4.43] and ≥ 4 N+: HR=2.69, 95%CI= [1.24; 5.8] respectively, p=0.003).ConclusionThe prognostic value of residual axillary disease should be considered differently in the 3 BC subtypes to accurately stratify patients with a high risk of recurrence after NAC who should be offered second line therapies.

e11516 Background: Gene expression profiling identifies several breast cancer subtypes with different chemosensitivity and outcome. We used immunohistochemistry surrogate markers to classify tumors according to known breast cancer subtypes and examined the relationship between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response and long-term end points, including distant disease-free survival (DDFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: Review of clinical and pathological data from 271 breast cancer patients treated in our institution with NAC between 1991–2008. Breast cancer subtypes were defined as follows: Luminal A: Estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and/or progesterone peceptor positive (PR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (Her-2+); Luminal B: ER+ and/or PR+,Her-2+; Basal: ER-,PR-,Her-2-;HER2: ER-,PR-,Her-2 +. ER and PR positive scored as positive if tumor cell nuclear staining was at least 2+. Her-2 scored as positive if test DAKO scored 3+ or FISH ratio Her-2/CEP-17>2.2. Results: 121 (45.8%) patients were classifed as Luminal A; 22 (8.1%) as Luminal B; 75 (27.7%) as Basal, and 50 (18.5%) as HER2. Most patients (63%) received NAC based on anthracyclines and taxanes. 36% Her-2+ patients were treated with NAC based on trastuzumab, and 43% received trastuzumab as adjuvant treatment. Response and outcome results are shown below (Table). Independently from subtype, only four patients out of 58 with pCR relapsed. Among patients who didn´t achieved pathologic complete response (pCR), basal and HER2 subtypes have the worst outcome (4 years SG 80% and 72% respectevely) compared with Luminal A (4 years SG: 94.7%), (log-rank p=0.009). Conclusions: Basal and HER2 tumor despite high chemosensitivity have worst long term outcome, particularly if pCR is not achieved after NAC.
