AbstrakKanker payudara triple negative mempunyai prognosis paling buruk. Ki-67, derajat diferensiasi dan invasi limfovaskular (LVI) adalah parameter prognostik patomolekuler, dimana Ki-67 juga dipakai sebagai prediktor respon terapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan derajat diferensiasi dan LVI dengan ekspresi Ki-67 pada kanker payudara tripel negatif. Sembilan belas kasus kanker payudara tripel negatif dikumpulkan dan direview ulang derajat diferensiasi dan LVI. Hasil pemeriksaan Ki-67 dikelompokkan dimana ≤10 % sampai 29 % ekspresi rendah-sedang; dan >30% ekspresi tinggi. Hubungan antara ekspresi Ki-67 dengan derajat diferensiasi dan invasi limfovaskular dianalisis menggunakan Chi Square. Dari 19 kasus kanker payudara tripel negatif, 52,6 % kasus mempunyai derajat diferensiasi tinggi dan sisanya derajat diferensiasi rendah. Invasi limfovaskular ditemukan positif pada 68,4% kasus. Ekspresi Ki-67 yang tinggi hanya ditemukan pada 1 kasus. Uji statistik antara ekspresi Ki-67 dengan derajat diferensiasi maupun dengan invasi limfovaskular tidak ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna. Tidak ditemukan korelasi antara ekspresi Ki-67 dengan derajat diferensiasi dan invasi limfovaskular pada kanker payudara tripel negatif.AbstractTriple negative breast cancer is one of the breast cancer with poorest prognosis. Ki- 67, grade and lymphovascular invasion are the prognostic pathomolecular parameter, and also used as a predictor of response to therapy. The objective of this study was to identify the relationship between Ki-67 expression with grade and lymphovascular invasion in triple negative breast cancer. We found 19 cases of triple negative breast cancer,and performed slide review for grade and lymphovascular invasion. The results of Ki-67 expression were classifiy as low – intermediate (< 10 % - 29%) and high (> 30%). We use Chi Square test to assest the relationship between variables. Of 19 triple negative breast cancer cases, 52,6 % of cases were found to have high histopathological grade. Positive lymphovascular invasion was seen in 68,4% cases. Only one case was found with high expression of Ki-67. There were no correlation between Ki-67 expression with histopathological grade and lymphovascular invasion on triple negative breast cancer. There were no significant relationship between Ki-67 expression with grade and lymphovascular invasion on triple negative breast cancer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate MRI features of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) compared with non-TNBC, to predict histopathological results. In the study, 26 patients with TNBC and 24 with non-TNBC who underwent multiparametric MRI of the breast on a 3 T magnet over a 10-months period were retrospectively recruited. MR imaging sets were evaluated by two experienced breast radiologists in consensus and classified according to the 2013 American College of Radiology (ACR) BI-RADS lexicon. The comparison between the two groups was performed using the Chi-square test and followed by logistic regression analyses. We found that 92% of tumors presented as mass enhancements (p = 0.192). 41.7% of TNBC and 86.4% of non-TNBC had irregular shape (p = 0.005); 58.3% of TNBC showed circumscribed margins, compared to 9.1% of non-TNBC masses (p = 0.001); 75% of TNBC and 9.1% of non-TNBC showed rim enhancement (p < 0.001). Intralesional necrosis was significantly associated with TNBC (p = 0.016). Rim enhancement and intralesional necrosis risulted to be positive predictors at univariate analysis (OR = 29.86, and 8.10, respectively) and the multivariate analysis confirmed that rim enhancement is independently associated with TNBC (OR = 33.08). The mean ADC values were significantly higher for TNBC (p = 0.011). In conclusion, TNBC is associated with specific MRI features that can be possible predictors of pathological results, with a consequent prognostic value.

This study aimed to clarify the genetic difference between Korean triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and other breast cancer (BC) subtypes. TNBC was defined as the absence of hormonal receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification. DNA panel of the Ion Torrent Oncomine Comprehensive Assay (OCA) v3 was performed to identify somatic alteration in 48 specimens. In a total of 102 alterations (37 nonsense, 35 missense, 8 frameshift and 22 amplifications), 30 nucleotide alterations (24 nonsense, 1 missense, and 5 frameshift) were newly identified. The eight most commonly altered genes were PIK3CA, TP53, ERBB2, BRCA2, FANCD2, AKT1, BRCA1, and FANCA. TNBC had significantly lower mutation frequency in PIK3CA (TNBC vs. hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative BC [HRPBC], p = 0.009), but higher mutation frequency in TP53 (TNBC vs. HRPBC, p = 0.036; TNBC vs. hormone receptor-positive and HER2- positive BC [HHPBC], p = 0.004). TNBC showed frequently higher Ki-67 expression than any positive BC (p = 0.004) due to HRPBC (p < 0.001). TNBC with high Ki-67/unmutated PIK3CA/mutated TP53 appears at a younger age (52.2 ± 7.6 years), compared to other subtypes (63.7 ± 11.0 years). TNBC with high Ki-67/unmutated PIK3CA/mutated TP53 may be related to relatively early onset BCThese findings demonstrate the genomic heterogeneity between TNBC and other BC subtypes and could present a new approach for molecular targeted therapy in TNBC patients.

BackgroundGrowth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein 45 alpha (GADD45A) was previously found to be associated with risk of several kinds of human tumors. Here, we studied the expression and clinical significance of GADD45A in breast cancer.MethodsWe performed an immunohistochemical study of GADD45A protein from 419 breast cancer tissues and 116 adjacent non-neoplastic tissues.ResultsSignificantly high GADD45A expression were observed in breast cancer tissues compared with adjacent non-neoplastic tissues (P < 0.001) and were independently correlative with estrogen receptor negative (P = 0.028) and high Ki-67 index (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high GADD45A expression levels had a worse long-term prognosis in triple negative breast cancer (P = 0.041), but it was not an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (P = 0.058).ConclusionsGADD45A expression levels are significantly correlative with estrogen receptor status and Ki-67 index in human breast cancer. Patients with triple negative breast cancer might be stratified into high risk and low risk groups based on the GADD45A expression levels.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by poor response to therapy and low overall patient survival. Recently, Estrogen Receptor beta (ERβ) has been found to be expressed in a fraction of TNBCs where, because of its oncosuppressive actions on the genome, it represents a potential therapeutic target, provided a better understanding of its actions in these tumors becomes available. To this end, the cell lines Hs 578T, MDA-MB-468 and HCC1806, representing the claudin-low, basal-like 1 and 2 TNBC molecular subtypes respectively, were engineered to express ERβ under the control of a Tetracycline-inducible promoter and used to investigate the effects of this transcription factor on gene activity. The antiproliferative effects of ERβ in these cells were confirmed by multiple functional approaches, including transcriptome profiling and global mapping of receptor binding sites in the genome, that revealed direct negative regulation by ERβ of genes, encoding for key components of cellular pathways associated to TNBC aggressiveness representing novel therapeutic targets such as angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis and cholesterol biosynthesis. Supporting these results, interaction proteomics by immunoprecipitation coupled to nano LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry revealed ERβ association with several potential nuclear protein partners, including key components of regulatory complexes known to control chromatin remodeling, transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation and RNA splicing. Among these, ERβ association with the Polycomb Repressor Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1/2), known for their central role in gene regulation in cancer cells, was confirmed in all three TNBC subtypes investigated, suggesting its occurrence independently from the cellular context. These results demonstrate a significant impact of ERβ in TNBC genome activity mediated by its cooperation with regulatory multiprotein chromatin remodeling complexes, providing novel ground to devise new strategies for the treatment of these diseases based on ligands affecting the activity of this nuclear receptor or some of its protein partners.

e11539 Background: Ki-67 is a proliferation marker expressed during cell cycle. ASCO does not recommend this biomarker to be done routinely in breast cancer. As triple negative breast cancer lacks all the ASCO recommended biomarkers (estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 gene), non-recommended markers may carry significant prognostic value in different demographic population. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients who were diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago from 2005 to 2010. We analyzed the data for Ki67 value among age group, race, menstrual status, tumor histology, stage, treatment given and outcome of the treatment. The data was obtained from medical record, cancer registry and department of pathology. Results: Only 35 cases were found retrospectively. The mean age was 55.6 year. Nearly 47% were African American, 38% White and rest was other races. Most of the cases (71%) were post-menopausal. The average follow-up was 214 days with nearly 62% patients remained disease free, 21% suffered from relapse but alive and 18% died from relapse. The analysis of data is presented here in tabulated form. Conclusions: In our study, we could not reach to statistical significance mostly due to small size of the population. Being a rare subtype of breast cancer, a single center data analysis is not sufficient. This pilot study will encourage us to go for a large scale study involving multi-center or cancer registry data of the state of Illinois.

e11519 Background: Triple negative breast cancers are immunohistochemical surrogates of basal-like breast cancers. There is no complete overlap between triple negative and basal-like tumors and as gene expression studies evolve, further subclassification bearing clinical relevance is underway. Our purpose was to correlate clinicopathologic characteristics of triple negative breast cancer tumors with expression of basal markers in an effort to define immunohistochemically subgroups of this heterogenous disease Methods: Data were retrieved and analysed using our electronic databank. Patient samples were reviewed by an expert breast cancer pathologist and stained additionally for EGFR and CK 5/6 antibodies. Results: Sixty-five women with triple negative breast cancer were identified. Mean age was 58.3±12.9 years. Most tumors (86%) were of ductal histology, 53% grade 3, 48% having high Ki-67 index (>14%). 10% of patients presented with Stage IV, 25% with Stage III, 38% with stage II and 27% with stage I disease. 63% of patients were postmenopausal. EGFR staining was present in 43% of tumor samples, whereas CK 5/6 in 38.5%. Both EGFR and CK 5/6 expression was found in 18.5%, whereas 37% of tumors expressed neither EGFR or CK 5/6. No difference was observed between tumors expressing any of these 2 basal markers as compared to EGFR and CK 5/6 negative tumors in terms of Ki-67 index, grade, tumor size and nodal involvement. Lymphovascular invasion and non-ductal histology tended to occur more frequently (p=ns) in non-basal tumors. Additionally, patients with expression of any of the basal markers tended to be more obese than the non-basal triple negative breast cancer patients (p=ns). Conclusions: Further immunohistochemical markers apart from EGFR and CK 5/6 are needed in order to further define clinically meaningful subgroups of triple negative breast cancer.

89 Background: Ki-67 expression in breast cancer has been described as predictive of pathological complete response and prognostic of recurrence free survival (RFS). Our aim was to evaluate in a retrospective cohort of triple negative breast cancer patients if tumor proliferation measured by ki-67 expression is correlated with the outcome. Methods: We evaluated a retrospective cohort of 109 cases of triple negative breast cancer (ER-, PR- and HER2- determined by immunohistochemistry). Ki-67 labeling index was determined in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded residual tumors after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were stratified in Ki67<15% and Ki67≥15%. Clinicopathological data was retrieved from clinical records. RFS and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method and variables compared using the log-rank or Breslow test and Hazard Ratios (HR) estimated by the Cox regression. Results: The median age for patients was 47.5 years, 55 (50.5%) were premenopausal and 54 (49.5%) postmenopausal. Eight patients (7.3%) were clinical stages II and 101 (92.7%) stages III. Median of Ki-67 expression was 35.97% (0.96% - 77.7%). There was not association between Ki-67 expression (<15% VS ≥15%) with tumor size, nodal involvement, clinical stage and menopausal status. After a median of follow of 21.6 months, 62 patients (56.9%) have relapsed and 53 (48.6%) have die. The median time for RFS and OS were 21.2 and 31.4 months, respectively. Median of RFS was 12.6 months for Ki67<15% vs 21.2 months for Ki67≥15%, P=0.421 (HR=0.91). Median of OS was 34.9 months for Ki67<15% vs 31.4 months for Ki67≥15%, P=0.755 (HR=1.18). Only nodal involvement was found predictor of shorter RFS (0 nodes, 25.2 months vs 1 -3 nodes, 26.1 months, vs >3 nodes, 9.4 months, P=0.020). Conclusions: Ki-67 labeling index was not related with the outcome in terms of OS and RFS in patients with residual triple negative breast tumors that were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
