Abstract

PURPOSE

Prediction of response to primary endocrine therapy (PET) in older women is based on measurement of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR) and human epidermal growth factor (HER)-2. This study uses a unique method for construction of core needle biopsy (CNB) tissue microarray (TMA), to correlate expression of a panel of 17 biomarkers with clinical outcome, in patients receiving PET.

METHODS

Over 37 years (1973-2010), 1758 older (≥ 70 years) women with operable primary breast cancer were managed in a single institution. Of these, 693 had sufficient good-quality CNB to construct TMA, of which 334 had ER-positive tumours treated by PET with a minimum of 6-month follow-up. A panel of biomarkers was measured by immunohistochemistry (ER, PgR, HER2, Ki-67, p53, CK5/6, CK 7/8, EGFR, BCL-2, MUC1, VEGF, LKB1, BRCA1, HER3, HER4, PTEN and AIB1). Expression of each biomarker was dichotomised into 'low' or 'high' based on breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS).

RESULTS

From the panel of biomarkers, multivariate analysis showed: High ER (p = 0.003) and PgR (p = 0.002) were associated with clinical benefit of PET at 6 months, as opposed to progressive disease. High ER (p = 0.0023), PgR (p < 0.001) and BCL-2 (p = 0.043) and low LKB1 (p = 0.022) were associated with longer time to progression. High PgR (p < 0.001) and low MUC1 (p = 0.021) were associated with better BCSS. Expression of other biomarkers did not show any significant correlation.

CONCLUSIONS

In addition to ER and PgR; MUC1, BCL-2 and LKB1 are important in determining the outcome of PET in this cohort.

摘要

目的

预测老年女性对初始内分泌治疗（PET）的反应是基于雌激素受体（ER）、孕激素受体（PgR）和人表皮生长因子受体（HER）-2 的测定。本研究使用一种独特的方法构建核心针活检（CNB）组织微阵列（TMA），以评估一组 17 种生物标志物与接受 PET 治疗的患者的临床结果的相关性。

方法

37 年来（1973-2010 年），在一家机构中对 1758 名年龄≥70 岁的可手术原发性乳腺癌老年女性进行了管理。其中，693 名患者有足够的高质量 CNB 构建 TMA，其中 334 名 ER 阳性肿瘤患者接受了 PET 治疗，随访时间至少为 6 个月。通过免疫组织化学（ER、PgR、HER2、Ki-67、p53、CK5/6、CK 7/8、EGFR、BCL-2、MUC1、VEGF、LKB1、BRCA1、HER3、HER4、PTEN 和 AIB1）测量了一组生物标志物。根据乳腺癌特异性生存（BCSS）将每个生物标志物的表达分为“低”或“高”。

结果

在生物标志物中，多变量分析显示：高 ER（p=0.003）和 PgR（p=0.002）与 PET 治疗 6 个月时的临床获益相关，而不是进展性疾病。高 ER（p=0.0023）、PgR（p<0.001）和 BCL-2（p=0.043）和低 LKB1（p=0.022）与进展时间更长相关。高 PgR（p<0.001）和低 MUC1（p=0.021）与更好的 BCSS 相关。其他生物标志物的表达没有显示出任何显著相关性。
