Abstract INTRO One in three women with HER2-positive breast cancer will develop brain metastases, or intracranial metastatic disease (IMD). Historically, treatment of IMD has been confined to surgery and radiotherapy, with a limited role for chemotherapy. However, recent interest has burgeoned in a role for targeted therapy for treatment of IMD. The lack of high-level evidence, such as meta-analyses, regarding the role of targeted therapy in the management of IMD has prevented its inclusion in guidelines directing treatment. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the role of targeted therapy for IMD in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, a search of MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and grey literature sources was conducted by two independent reviewers. Controlled trials and cohort studies that reported survival, safety, or response outcomes for patients receiving HER2-targeted therapy following IMD diagnosis were included. Meta-analyses using a random-effects model were conducted for OS and PFS. RESULTS 111 studies reporting on 8226 patients were included. Primary analysis of only RCTs found that HER2-targeted therapy was associated with improved OS (HR 0.63; 95% CI, 0.46–0.86; n = 392) but not PFS (HR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.30–1.85; n = 392) following IMD diagnosis. Secondary analysis combining RCTs and comparative observational studies found that HER2-targeted therapy was associated with improved OS (HR 0.42; 95% CI, 0.35–0.51; n = 2756) but not PFS (HR 0.58; 95% CI, 0.27–1.21; n = 460) following IMD diagnosis. Full analysis will be conducted for all 111 studies for pre-specified outcomes including intracranial PFS. CONCLUSION These findings support a potential role for HER2-targeted therapy in the management of IMD from HER2-positive breast cancer. Final analysis will synthesize current evidence for outcomes of intracranial response, survival, and safety.

There is an unmet need for novel non-invasive prognostic molecular tumour markers for breast cancer (BC). Accumulating evidence shows that miR-155 plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. Generally, miR-155 is considered an oncogenic miRNA promoting tumour growth, angiogenesis and aggressiveness of BC. Therefore, many researchers have focused on its use as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. However, its prognostic value for BC patients remains controversial. To address this issue, the present systematic review aims to summarize the available evidence and give a picture of a prognostic significance of miR-155 in BC pathology. All eligible studies were searched on PubMed and EMBASE databases through various search strategies. Starting from 289 potential eligible records, data were examined from 28 studies, comparing tissue and circulating miR-155 expression levels with clinicopathological features and survival rates in BC patients. We discuss the pitfalls and challenges that need to be assessed to understand the power of miR-155 to respond to real clinical needs, highlighting the consistency, robustness or lack of results obtained to sate in translating this molecule to clinical practice. Our paper suggests that the prognostic role of miR-155 in the management of BC needs to be further verified.

AbstractWhile targeted therapies exist for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2 +) breast cancer, HER2 + patients do not always respond to therapy. We present the results of utilizing a biophysical mathematical model to predict tumor response for two HER2 + breast cancer patients treated with the same therapeutic regimen but who achieved different treatment outcomes. Quantitative data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab positron emission tomography (PET) are used to estimate tumor density, perfusion, and distribution of HER2-targeted antibodies for each individual patient. MRI and PET data are collected prior to therapy, and follow-up MRI scans are acquired at a midpoint in therapy. Given these data types, we align the data sets to a common image space to enable model calibration. Once the model is parameterized with these data, we forecast treatment response with and without HER2-targeted therapy. By incorporating targeted therapy into the model, the resulting predictions are able to distinguish between the two different patient responses, increasing the difference in tumor volume change between the two patients by > 40%. This work provides a proof-of-concept strategy for processing and integrating PET and MRI modalities into a predictive, clinical-mathematical framework to provide patient-specific predictions of HER2 + treatment response.

Introduction Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression is considered an unfavourable prognostic factor in early breast cancer when the patients are not treated with HER2-targeted therapy. However, the long-term prognostic importance of HER2-expression in small (≤1 cm, stage pT1a-b), node-negative HER2+ breast cancer is still incompletely known. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed based on a prospectively collected database including patients with pT1 breast cancer operated at the Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, between March 2000 and April 2006. In this database, 44 patients with pT1a-bN0M0, HER2+ cancer, not treated with adjuvant anti-HER2-targeted therapy (the HER2+ group) and 291 pT1a-bN0M0, hormone receptor positive, HER2- negative cancers (the ER+/HER2- group) were identified and included in the study. Survival outcomes were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The median follow-up time was 9.7 years after primary breast surgery. Ten-year distant disease-free survival (DDFS) was 84.0% in the HER2+ group and 98.2% in the ER+/HER2- group (p < 0.001). Ten-year overall survival was only 78.5% in the HER2+ group, but 91.7% in the ER+/HER2- group (p = 0.09). Conclusions Cancer HER2-status is strongly associated with unfavourable DDFS during the first decade of follow-up in patients with small (pT1a-bN0M0) breast cancer when adjuvant anti-HER2-targeted treatment is not administered.

Abstract Background: Yanghe Huayan Decoction (YHD), a traditional Chinese medicine, is one of the most common complementary medicine currently used in the treatment of breast cancer (BC). It has been recently linked to suppress precancerous lesion and tumor development. The current study sought to explore the role of YHD on trans-endothelium and angiogenesis of BC. Methods: HER2+ BC cells were treated with YHD, Trastuzumab, or the combination in vitro and in vivo to compare the effects of them on trans-endothelium and angiogenesis features. The present study also investigated the potential molecular mechanism of YHD in inhibiting angiogenesis of BC. Results: YHD significantly suppressed the invasion and angiogenesis of BC cells via elevated pAkt signaling. Administration of YHD in vivo also strikingly repressed angiogenesis in tumor grafts. Conclusion: YHD could partially inhibit and reverse tumorigenesis of BC. It also could inhibit Akt activation and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Its effect was superior to trastuzumab. Thus it was suitable for prevention and treatment of BC.

Objective To identify comorbidity indices that have been validated in cancer populations, with a focus on breast cancer and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. Study design and setting A systematic review of the literature on the use of comorbidity indices in any cancer, breast cancer, and HER2+ breast cancer using Ovid and PubMed. Results The final data set comprised 252 articles (252 any cancer, 39 breast cancer, 7 HER2+ breast cancer). The most common cancers assessed were hematologic and breast, and the most common comorbidity index used was the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) or a CCI derivative. Most validity testing of comorbidity indices used predictive validity based on survival outcomes. Hazard ratios for survival outcomes generally found that a higher comorbidity burden (measured by CCI) increased mortality risk in patients with breast cancer. All breast-cancer studies that validated comorbidity indices used CCI-based indices. Only one article validated a comorbidity index in HER2+ breast cancer. Conclusion CCI-based indices are the most appropriate indices to use in the general breast-cancer population. There is insufficient validation of any comorbidity index in HER2+ breast cancer to provide a recommendation, indicating a future need to validate these instruments in this population.
