The interaction between HER2-low expression, oncotype recurrence score (RS), and their influence on the prognosis of HR+/HER2- breast cancer (BC) is not very well studied.
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with resectable HER2-low and HER2-zero BC from the National Cancer Database. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), and the association of RS with the clinical outcomes in HR+/HER2- BC was analyzed as an exploratory endpoint.
The distribution of RS was comparable between HER2-low and HER2-zero groups; however, the RSs of HER2-low tumors were more likely to be 16-25. Women with HER2-low tumors had longer 5-year OS than women with HER2-zero tumors in the HR-negative (84.3% vs. 83.9%; < 0.001, HR: 0.87 (0.84-0.90), < 0.001) but not in the HR-positive group (94.0% vs. 94.0%; = 0.38, HR: 0.97 (0.95-0.99), = 0.01). The survival advantage was observed in patients who received adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p-interaction (chemo vs. no chemo) < 0.001). Among those who received adjuvant chemotherapy in the group with higher RSs (26-100), those with HER2-low BC had higher 5-year OS than HER2-zero BC.
Resectable HER2-low BC had a better prognosis than HER2-zero BC. Among those who received adjuvant chemotherapy in the higher oncotype RS group, those with HER2-low tumors had better survival.
人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)低表达、肿瘤复发评分(RS)之间的相互作用及其对激素受体阳性/人表皮生长因子受体2阴性(HR+/HER2-)乳腺癌(BC)预后的影响尚未得到充分研究。
我们对国家癌症数据库中诊断为可切除的HER2低表达和HER2零表达乳腺癌患者进行了一项回顾性队列研究。主要结局为总生存期(OS),并将RS与HR+/HER2-乳腺癌临床结局的关联作为探索性终点进行分析。
HER2低表达组和HER2零表达组的RS分布具有可比性;然而,HER2低表达肿瘤的RS更可能为16 - 25。在HR阴性患者中,HER2低表达肿瘤的女性5年总生存期长于HER2零表达肿瘤的女性(84.3%对83.9%;P<0.001,风险比[HR]:0.87[0.84 - 0.90],P<0.001),但在HR阳性组中并非如此(94.0%对94.0%;P = 0.38,HR:0.97[0.95 - 0.99],P = 0.01)。在接受辅助/新辅助化疗的患者中观察到生存优势(化疗与未化疗的P交互作用<0.001)。在RS较高(26 - 100)的组中接受辅助化疗的患者中,HER2低表达乳腺癌患者的5年总生存期高于HER2零表达乳腺癌患者。
可切除的HER2低表达乳腺癌的预后优于HER2零表达乳腺癌。在肿瘤复发评分较高的组中接受辅助化疗的患者中,HER2低表达肿瘤患者的生存期更好。
