We have compared the global profiles of 100 tumors in Stage I, II and III with two independently releasedmicroarray datasets in order to understand their transcriptional behaviors accompanying a progression in breastcancer (1, 2). The olfactive receptor, family 56, subfamily A, member 4 OR56A4, was discovered to have beenone of the genes with the most varied expression when comparing initial tumors in stage I, stage II, and stageIII of breast cancer patients. In the stage III tumors, OR56A4 expression in comparison to the stage I tumorswas lower.

e11630 Introduction: Male breast cancer is very rare, representing only between 0.7% and 1% of all breast cancers, and only half of them are early stage cases. Objective: The present study has been designed with the aim of studying retrospectively the clinical onset and evolution of male invasive breast cancer patients (stages I and II) treated at IOHM between 1997 and 2008. Methods: The records of 3,000 breast cancer cases followed between 1997 and 2008 were searched, looking for male stage I and II breast cancer patients. A database was designed following the recommendations of the Directors of Surgical Pathology of the USA. The information registered encompassed: adjuvant treatments, recurrence date and date of final consultation or death. Results: Twelve pts were identified. Mean age (range)= 66 yo (50–89 yo). Tumoral type= Invasive Ductal Carcinoma 12 pt. Tumoral subtype= NOS 9 pt (75%) Apocrine 2 pt (17%) Micropapillar 1 pt (8%). Nottingham´s grade= Grade 2: 8 pt, Grade 3: 3 pt, N/A=1 pt. Stage= I= 6 pt, II=6 pt. ER (Positve= 9 pt, Negative=1 pt, N/A= 2 pt). PR (Positve= 8 pt, Negative= 2 pt, N/A=2 pt). Her2neu (0+= 3 pt, 1+= 3 pt, 2+= 2 pt, N/A= 4 pt). Surgery= Mastectomy= 11 pt, Lumpectomy 1= pt. Radiotherapy=5 pt. Adjuvance= No=2 pt, Hormonotherapy (HT)= 3 pt, Chemotherapy (CHT) = 3 pt, CHT+HT= 4 pt. Recurrence= Yes= 2 pt, No= 10 pt. Survival: Dead= 1 pt, Alive =11 pt. Mean Time To Progression= Stage I =66 months, Stage II =42 months. Global survival: Stage I =66 months, Stage II =52 months. Conclusions: 1. Twelve stage I and II male breast cancer patients were identified out of 3000 (0.4%) breast cancer cases diagnosed and followed in the past 10 years at the IOHM. 2. Mastectomy was the surgical procedure in 11 of the 12 cases 3. Ten pt underwent adjuvant treatment. 4. With a mean follow up time of 60 months, all stage I patients are alive and there were no recurrences. Two of the 6 stage II pts progressed and one died.

To understand the transcriptional behavior that accompanies breast cancer progression, we compared the global gene expression profiles of 100 tumors at stages I, II and III using two independent published microarray datasets (1, 2). We found that the olfactory receptor, family 56, subfamily A, member 4 OR56A4 was among the genes whose expression was most different when comparing stage I, stage II, and stage III primary tumors from patients with breast cancer. OR56A4 expression was lower in stage III tumors as opposed to stage I tumors.

10765 Background: In this study, we are evaluating the utilizing trastuzumab as an adjuvant combination with chemotherapy in an half year interval for breast cancer (1–3). Methods: Patients after October 2000 with HER2-positive (3+ by immunohistochemistry; if 2+, should fit over expression by FISH) stage II/III breast cancer who received adjuvant trastuzumab (4mg/kg ×1, then 2mg/kg/wk ×22, equals 6 bottles of trastuzumab) in combination with chemotherapy. The chemotherapy utilized for stage II breast cancer patients received CEF only and for those patients with LN(+) but ER/PR(−/−) also added paclitaxel for another 4 cycles besides CEF with interval of 3 weeks, and for those with stage III breast cancer patient with ER or PR(+), the docetaxel was given with CEF for 6 cycles). Clinical response rates were followed by using imaging studies with chest films, CT scanning, bone scan and sonography. Results: Overall, there were 37 patients enrolled in this study. The median age was 43 years old (22–74 y/o). Two patients (including the youngest one) were found to have bilateral breast cancer on diagnosis but both were still alive without disease so far. There were 3 patients developed disease progression after adjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab and 2 of them died thereafter and all these 3 patients were stage III disease. The oldest patient was one of the exception without receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and received monotherapy of trastuzumab only and so far, she was still alive without disease. The side effect including chills (24.32%), dizziness (8.10%), cough (2.10%), cold sweating (2.10%). Conclusions: For her2/neu overexpression patients, trastuzumabwith chemotherapy may have positive role in adjuvant therapy. In this study, our main goal is to achieve patient’s treatment outcome in disease free status. Nonetheless, the cost was high if we applied trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy with 1- or 2-year interval (4–6). Even if this required further time to demonstrate this study’s final outcome, I suppose that utilization of trastuzumab as adjuvant treatment plus chemotherapy in a half interval will be a good alternative treatment option.

Abstract Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within microRNA binding sites can affect the binding of microRNA to mRNA and regulate gene expression, thereby contributing to the prognosis of cancer. We performed this study to explore the association between SNPs within microRNA binding sites and the prognosis of breast cancer.Methods: We carried out a two-stage study including 2647 breast cancer patients, with a median follow-up of 68 months (range 0-159). In stage I, we genotyped 192 SNPs within microRNA binding sites using the Illumina Goldengate platform. In stage II, we validated SNPs significantly associated with breast cancer prognosis in another dataset using the TaqMan platform. Survival times was calculated, and Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression model were used to analyze survival of breast cancer patients with different genotypes.Results: We identified 8 SNPs significantly associated with breast cancer prognosis in stage I (P<0.05), and only rs10878441 was statistically significant in stage II (AA vs CC: adjusted HR=2.21, 95% CI: 1.11-4.42, P=0.024). We combined the data from stage I and stage II, and found that, compared with rs10878441 AA genotype, CC genotype was significantly associated with poor survival of breast cancer (HR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.18-2.42, P=0.004; adjusted HR=2.19, 95% CI: 1.30-3.70, P=0.003). Stratified analyses demonstrated that rs10878441 was related to breast cancer prognosis in grade II patients and lymph node-negative patients (P<0.05).Conclusions: The LRKK2 rs10878441 CC genotype is associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer in a Chinese population, and it could be used as a potential prognostic biomarker for breast cancer. Further studies are warranted.

We mined published microarray data (1) to understand the most significant gene expression differences in the tumors of triple negative breast cancer patients based on survival following treatment: dead or alive. We observed significant transcriptome-wide differential expression of olfactory receptor, family 5, subfamily B, member 21, encoded by OR5B21 when comparing the primary tumors of triple negative breast cancer patients dead or alive. OR5B21 may be of relevance as a biomarker or as a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of triple negative breast cancer.

Uniformity of evidence-based chemotherapy prescribing using approved, standard, or “core” regimens provides systems-based safety. Noncore chemotherapy regimens are non-standard-of-care regimens requested by physicians on a patient-by-patient basis. Chemotherapy Council, a Pharmacy & Therapeutics subcommittee, assesses all requests and determines approval status based upon submitted evidence and patient-specific factors. This study's purpose is to describe noncore chemotherapy regimens utilization, efficacy, and clinical outcomes in patients receiving noncore chemotherapy regimens. This retrospective chart review includes a two-stage utilization and outcomes evaluation of patients receiving noncore chemotherapy regimens. Stage I, a demographics and utilization assessment of patients receiving noncore chemotherapy regimens, has data collection including patient age, sex, performance score, malignancy, and noncore chemotherapy regimen use justification. Stage II assesses noncore chemotherapy regimen-related, patient-specific outcomes of breast cancer noncore chemotherapy regimen patients. Breast cancer patients were evaluated on regimen and clinical outcomes including disease stage, regimen duration, discontinuation reason, subsequent chemotherapy, survival, and time from noncore chemotherapy regimen until death. Within stage I, 307 patient-specific noncore chemotherapy regimen requests were submitted. The most commonly submitted rationale was modification of a core regimen (33%), followed by patient-specific factors (29%) and salvage therapy (22%). For stage II, 29 breast cancer patients received a noncore chemotherapy regimen and most (54%) received a modified core regimen. The vast majority of noncore chemotherapy regimen discontinuation was due to either regimen completion (42%) or disease progression (42%). Nonelective hospitalizations (35%) and mortality (30%) were found during the median 13.3 months of follow up. Noncore chemotherapy regimen use provides regimen tailoring for patients who are candidates for further therapy, but nonelective hospitalizations, end-of-life chemotherapy, and mortality warrant further investigation to improve patient outcomes.
