Purpose of the study. To study the results of relapse-free and overall survival during organ- preserving and oncoplastic surgeries in patients with breast cancer.Materials and methods. A prospective clinical study of 84 patients was carried out in the mammology department on the basis of GBUZ NSO "GKB № 1". The first group of patients (40 patients) underwent OPR with ALAE - oncoplastic resection of the mammary gland with axillary lymphadenectomy. The second group (44 patients) WSR with ALAE - wide sector resection of the mammary gland with axillary lymphadenectomy.During the study, the patients were comparable in age, stage (TNM), histological type, and morphogenetic data. The survival rate was studied by the number of local relapses and distant metastases, using laboratory and instrumental studies. The quality of life was assessed on the basis of anamnestic data (Karnofsky index, ECOG scale).Results. In the first group of patients, disease-free and overall survival rate was 97.5 %. At the same time, a local recurrence was found in a patient with a triple negative tumor type, distant metastases to the lungs in a patient with a HER2/neu-positive type. In the second group, relapse-free survival was 95.4 %, overall - 97.7 %. Relapses in two patients with HER2/neu-positive type, metastases to the lungs in a patient with triple negative type.Conclusion. Relapse-free survival rates are 2.1 % higher in group I patients who underwent oncoplastic resection with axillary lymphadenectomy. And the indicators of overall survival in patients of both groups do not differ relatively.

Introduction CD155 is an immune checkpoint protein. Its overexpression is an indicator of poor prognosis in some types of cancer. However, the significance of CD155 expression in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, and the relationship between CD155 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, have not yet been analyzed in detail. Methods Using immunohistochemical staining and tissue microarrays, we analyzed the expression profiles of CD155 and PD-L1 in 61 patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Relapse-free survival and overall survival rates were compared according to CD155 expression. The correlation between CD155 expression and clinicopathological factors, including PD-L1 expression (using SP142 and 73–10 assays), was also examined. Results CD155 expression was noted in 25 patients (41.0%) in this cohort. CD155 expression did not correlate with pathological stage, histological grade, Ki-67 labeling index, or stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Only PD-L1 expression in tumor cells by SP142 assay significantly correlated with CD155 expression (p = 0.035); however, PD-L1 expression in tumor cells by 73–10 assay did not show a correlation (p = 0.115). Using the 73–10 assay, 59% of patients showed CD155 and/or PD-L1 expression in tumor cells. Moreover, using the SP142 assay, 63.3% of patients showed CD155 and/or PD-L1 expression in immune cells. CD155 expression did not correlate with either relapse-free survival or overall survival (p = 0.485 and 0.843, respectively). Conclusions CD155 may be a novel target for antitumor immunotherapy. The results of this study indicate that CD155 may expand the pool of candidates with triple-negative breast cancer who could benefit from antitumor immunotherapy.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease. Nomograms can predict prognosis of patients with TNBC. Methods: A total of 745 eligible TNBC patients were recruited and randomly divided into training and validation groups. Endpoints were disease-free survival and overall survival. Concordance index, area under the curve and calibration curves were used to analyze the predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of nomograms. Results: Based on the training cohort, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, positive lymph nodes, tumor size and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were used to construct a nomogram for disease-free survival. In addition, age was added to the overall survival nomogram. Conclusion: The current study developed and validated well-calibrated nomograms for predicting disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with TNBC.

Abstract Background TNBC comprises a distinct disease entity with a unique microenvironment of TILs, the immunogenic potential of TNBC is derived from its genetic instability and high mutation rate. Tumors from patients with TNBC are more likely than tumors from patients with other subtypes to exhibit chromosomal instability and potential mutations. Objectives The study aims to evaluate the prevalence of CD8+ TILs biomarker by IHC in triple negative breast cancer and its prognostic value. TILs are an important prognostic value for the response of patient to chemotherapy the greater number of TILS is associated with higher probability of response to chemotherapy also decrease recurrence. TILS in triple negative breast cancer suggest a likely option for immunotherapy in this disease. Patients and Methods This is a retrospective study, which was carried on 30 female patients, Clinical data and paraffin wax block of female patients with triple negative breast cancer are to be collected from the breast cancer unit, department of clinical Oncology and Nuclear medicine Ain Shams university and Matarya teaching hospital. Results Several large systematic reviews and meta-analyses have confirmed that high levels of TILs are associated with better disease free survival and overall survival only in triple negative and HER2 positive subtypes, with no significant benefit seen in estrogen receptor positive breast carcinoma. In the Breast International Group (BIG) 02-98 trial shows that for every 10% increase in the intertumoral TILs there was a 17% reduced risk of relapse, and 27% reduced risk of death regardless of chemotherapy type. Also in eastern cooperative oncology group trial (ECOG) 2197, and 1199 showed that for every 10% increase in TILs, a 14% reduction of risk of recurrence, and 19% reduction in risk of death were observed. Conclusion Our study showed that All our patients (100%) were positive for CD8+, with a minimum range of 1% and a maximum range of 60%, most of the patients (20 patients) had CD8% between (10% to 20%). High levels of CD8 + TILs are good prognostic indicators in TNBC. our study showed that there were associations of CD8+ TILs infiltrate status with longer progression free survival and better overall survival in triple-negative breast cancer, but were not statistically significant probably due to our small sample size.

PURPOSE Here we evaluate in breast cancer patients the prognostic value of pepsinogen C, a proteolytic enzyme involved in the digestion of proteins in the stomach that is also synthesized by a significant percentage of breast carcinomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pepsinogen C expression was examined by immunoperoxidase staining in a series of 243 breast cancer tissue sections, and results obtained were quantified using the HSCORE system, which considers both the intensity and the percentage of cells staining at each intensity. Evaluation of the prognostic value of pepsinogen C was performed retrospectively in corresponding patients by multivariate analysis that took into account conventional prognostic factors. The mean follow-up period was 48.5 months. RESULTS A total of 113 carcinomas (46.5%) stained positively for this proteinase, but there were clear differences among them with regard to the intensity and percentage of stained cells. Pepsinogen C values were significantly higher in well differentiated (grade I, 89.1) and moderately differentiated (grade II, 88.5) tumors than in poorly differentiated (grade III, 27.7) tumors (P < .001). Similarly, significant differences in pepsinogen C content were found between estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors and ER-negative tumors (85.9 v 41.2, respectively; P < .05). Moreover, results indicated that low pepsinogen C content predicted shorter relapse-free survival duration and overall survival duration (P < .0001). Separate Cox multivariate analysis for relapse-free survival and overall survival in subgroups of patients as defined by node status showed that pepsinogen C expression was the strongest factor to predict both relapse-free survival and overall survival in node-positive patients (P < .0001 for both) and node-negative patients (P < .005 and P < .01, respectively). CONCLUSION Pepsinogen C is a new prognostic factor for early recurrence and death in both node-positive and node-negative breast cancer. In addition, and in contrast to most studies that concern the prognostic significance of proteolytic enzymes in cancer, pepsinogen C production by breast cancer cells is associated with lesions of favorable evolution.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a group of breast carcinoma characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen and progesterone hormone receptors (ER, PgR) and HER2. This form is also characterized by its aggressiveness, a low survival rate, and the absence of targeted therapies. This study was planned to evaluate the clinical features, treatment, and prognosis characteristics of TNBC in a population of Moroccan patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 905 patients diagnosed with breast cancer at the National Institute of Oncology in Rabat, Morocco, have been included. Based on molecular subtype, patients were divided into 2 categories: TNBC and non-TNBC patients. Data were recorded from patients’ medical files and analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software (IBM). Results: Overall, 17% of the patients had TNBC. At diagnosis, the median age of TNBC cases was 47 years, with extreme ages of 40 and 55 years. The median follow-up time was 30 months (10-53 months) and the 3-year survival rate was 76%. No significant difference was observed among the patients in terms of age at diagnosis, age at menarche, age at the time of first birth, nulliparity, oral contraception, and family history of breast cancer. Menopausal status and the number of pregnancy were significantly higher in the non-TNBC group. The percentage of grade 3 (G3) tumors was higher in the TNBC group ( P < .001). Using neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a net benefit in the event-free survival was registered for the 2 groups. Conclusions: This retrospective study was very informative and showed that women with TNBC had a less favorable prognosis than non-TNBC cases. Clinical data demonstrated that risk factors including age, premenopausal status, parity, hormonal contraceptive use, advanced disease, and a high histologic grade were independently associated with TNBC. However, large tumors and high Scarff-Bloom and Richardson grade prevail in TNBC cases with a higher incidence of lymph node metastases.

e22219 Background: Triple-negative (ER-negative, PR-negative, HER2/neu negative) breast cancer has distinct clinical and pathologic features, and is a clinical problem because of its typically high grade, relatively poor prognosis, aggressive behavior and lack of targeted therapies leaving chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment. This study envisaged to analyse the influence of triple negativity status on survival and disease free survival in prospective cohort of breast cancer patients. Methods: Breast tumors of 215 women aged 30–75, diagnosed from 2004 were tested for ER, PR and HER2 positivity by immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinical outcomes such as recurrence, disease free survival and overall survival using Kaplan Meiers Survival analysis and Coxs regression analysis. The study cohort was followed up for 60 months or until death whichever was earlier. Results: Triple negativity significantly influenced disease free survival (46 ± 3, 41, 52) vs. non triple negative cohort (mean ± SE; 95%CI, 37 ± 2; 32, 40) and log rank = 2.1, p = 0.04. However triple negativity did not influence overall survival in months (56 ± 0; 55, 56) vs. non triple negative cohort (43 ± 1; 42, 45), (log rank = 1.78, p = 0.16). However, the mean disease free survival was (45 ± 7; 32, 58) months for patients >40 years age vs (37 ± 4; 33, 39) for patients < 40 years of age (log rank = 2.87, p =0.02). Stage of disease, node status, grade and menopausal status did not influence disease free survival significantly. However, Cox regression analysis did not predict significant effects of triple negativity on overall survival or disease free survival when controlled for confounding factors such as age, node status, stage etc Conclusions: Our observations suggest that triple negativity can significantly affect progression of breast cancer in Indian breast cancer patients and longer follow up is necessary (10 years) to determine its effects on survival. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

End Point

Purpose The first planned interim analysis (median follow-up, 3 years) of the Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial of S-1 for Gastric Cancer confirmed that the oral fluoropyrimidine derivative S-1 significantly improved overall survival, the primary end point. The results were therefore opened at the recommendation of an independent data and safety monitoring committee. We report 5-year follow-up data on patients enrolled onto the ACTS-GC study. Patients and Methods Patients with histologically confirmed stage II or III gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy were randomly assigned to receive S-1 after surgery or surgery only. S-1 (80 to 120 mg per day) was given for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of rest. This 6-week cycle was repeated for 1 year. The primary end point was overall survival, and the secondary end points were relapse-free survival and safety. Results The overall survival rate at 5 years was 71.7% in the S-1 group and 61.1% in the surgery-only group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.669; 95% CI, 0.540 to 0.828). The relapse-free survival rate at 5 years was 65.4% in the S-1 group and 53.1% in the surgery-only group (HR, 0.653; 95% CI, 0.537 to 0.793). Subgroup analyses according to principal demographic factors such as sex, age, disease stage, and histologic type showed no interaction between treatment and any characteristic. Conclusion On the basis of 5-year follow-up data, postoperative adjuvant therapy with S-1 was confirmed to improve overall survival and relapse-free survival in patients with stage II or III gastric cancer who had undergone D2 gastrectomy.
