Oncotype DX® test is beneficial in predicting recurrence free survival in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Ability of the assay to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is less well-studied.
We hypothesize a positive association between the Oncotype DX® recurrence score (RS) and the percentage tumor response (%TR) after NCT.
Pre-therapy RS was measured on core biopsies from 60 patients with ER+, HER2- invasive breast cancer (IBC) who then received NCT. Pre-therapy tumor size was measured using imaging. %TR, partial response (PR; >50%), pathologic complete response (pCR) and breast conserving surgery (BCS) rates were measured.
Median RS was 20 (2-69). Median %TR was 42 (0-97)%. PR was observed in 43% of patients. There was no association between %TR and pre-NCT tumor size, age, Nottingham score or nodal status (p > 0.05). No statistically significant association with %TR was seen with RS as a categorical or continuous variable (p = 0.21 and 0.7, respectively). Response to NCT improved as ER (p = 0.02) by RT-PCR decreased. Lower ER expression by IHC correlated with response (p = 0.03).
In patients with ER+ IBC receiving NCT, RS did not predict response to NCT using %TR. The benefit of the assay prior to NCT requires further study.
Oncotype DX®检测有助于预测雌激素受体阳性(ER+)乳腺癌的无复发生存率。该检测预测新辅助化疗(NCT)反应的能力研究较少。
我们假设Oncotype DX®复发评分(RS)与NCT后的肿瘤反应百分比(%TR)之间存在正相关。
对60例ER+、HER2-浸润性乳腺癌(IBC)患者的核心活检组织进行治疗前RS检测,这些患者随后接受NCT。使用影像学测量治疗前肿瘤大小。测量%TR、部分缓解(PR;>50%)、病理完全缓解(pCR)和保乳手术(BCS)率。
RS中位数为20(2-69)。%TR中位数为42(0-97)%。43%的患者观察到PR。%TR与NCT前肿瘤大小、年龄、诺丁汉评分或淋巴结状态之间无关联(p>0.05)。RS作为分类变量或连续变量与%TR均无统计学显著关联(分别为p=0.21和0.7)。随着逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测的雌激素受体(ER)降低,对NCT的反应改善。免疫组化检测显示较低的ER表达与反应相关(p=0.03)。
在接受NCT的ER+IBC患者中,RS不能使用%TR预测对NCT的反应。NCT前该检测的益处需要进一步研究。
