Oncotype Dx® (ODX) is the most used prognostic and predictive assay for ER + breast cancer (BCa) and is categorized into low (< 18), intermediate (18 to 30), or high (≥31) risk of recurrence. Prosigna® is a prognostic signature to estimate distant recurrence-free survival for stage I/II, ER+ cancer in postmenopausal women treated with adjuvant therapy. The goal of the study is to assess the agreement between ODX and Prosigna®.
100 previously ODX classified peri and postmenopausal, early-stage (I or II) BCa patients were retrieved and Prosigna assay was performed on archived tumor blocks on a NanoString nCounter® DX Analysis System.
ODX assay was assigned as follows: 57% low, 39% intermediate, and 4% high. There were 8% two-step disagreements (high to low or vice versa) between ODX and Prosigna®; and 42% one-step disagreement (low to intermediate or vice versa). 78% were classified by Prosigna as luminal A and 22% as luminal B. The majority of luminal A cases (67/78; 85.9%) had low ROR score whereas ODX classified almost two-thirds (50/78~ 64%) as low RS. An insignificant percentage of luminal B cases (1/22 - 4.5%) were classified as high RS by ODX, and a modest percentage were classified as high ROR by Prosigna (15/22 ~68%). According to our follow up results, recurrence was detected in three cases. In all three cases; Prosigna was a better indicator of recurrence.
The agreement between ODX and Prosigna® is low, and this has management implications, especially when chemotherapy is needed.
Oncotype Dx®(ODX)是用于 ER+乳腺癌(BCa)的最常用预后和预测检测方法,分为低风险(<18)、中风险(18 至 30)或高风险(≥31)复发。Prosigna®是一种预测签名,用于估计接受辅助治疗的绝经后妇女的 I/II 期、ER+癌症的远处无复发生存率。该研究的目的是评估 ODX 和 Prosigna®之间的一致性。
回顾性分析了 100 例先前 ODX 分类的围绝经期和绝经后、早期(I 期或 II 期)BCa 患者,在 NanoString nCounter®DX 分析系统上对存档肿瘤块进行了 Prosigna 检测。
ODX 检测结果如下:57%为低风险,39%为中风险,4%为高风险。ODX 和 Prosigna®之间存在 8%的两步不一致(高风险到低风险或反之亦然);和 42%的一步不一致(低风险到中风险或反之亦然)。78%的患者被 Prosigna 分类为 luminal A,22%的患者被分类为 luminal B。大多数 luminal A 病例(67/78;85.9%)的 ROR 评分较低,而 ODX 几乎三分之二(50/7864%)的病例被分类为低 RS。少数 luminal B 病例(1/224.5%)被 ODX 分类为高 RS,相当一部分病例被 Prosigna 分类为高 ROR(15/22~68%)。根据我们的随访结果,有 3 例患者复发。在所有 3 例中;Prosigna 是复发的更好指标。
ODX 和 Prosigna®之间的一致性较低,这对管理有影响,特别是当需要化疗时。
