Background: The 21-gene recurrence score (RS) assay (Oncotype DX) is used to guide adjuvant chemotherapy use for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)-negative, axillary node-negative breast cancer. Its role, however, in providing prognostic information for late distant recurrence when added to clinicopathologic prognostic factors is unknown. Methods: A patient-specific meta-analysis including 10,004 women enrolled in three trials was updated using extended follow-up data from TAILORx, integrating the RS with histologic grade, tumor size, and age at surgery for the RSClin tool. Cox models integrating clinicopathologic factors and the RS were compared by using likelihood ratio (LR) tests. External validation of prognosis for distant recurrence in years 0 to 10 and 5 to 10 was performed in an independent cohort of 1098 women in a real-world registry. Results: RSClin provided significantly more prognostic information than either the clinicopathologic factors (ΔLR chi-square, 86.2; P<0.001) or RS alone (ΔLR chi-square, 131.0; P<0.001). The model was prognostic in an independent cohort for distant recurrence by 10 years after diagnosis (standardized hazard ratio, 1.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.25 to 1.94), was associated with late distant recurrence risk between 5 and 10 years after diagnosis (standardized hazard ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.25 to 2.55), and approximated the observed 10-year distant recurrence risk (Lin concordance, 0.87) and 5- to 10-year distant recurrence risk (Lin concordance, 0.92). Conclusions: The 21-gene RS is prognostic for distant recurrence and overall survival in early breast cancer. A model integrating the 21-gene RS and clinicopathologic factors improved estimates of distant recurrence risk compared with either used individually and stratified late distant recurrence risk.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus spreading across the world has led to surges of COVID-19 illness, hospitalizations, and death. The complex and multifaceted pathophysiology of life-threatening COVID-19 illness including viral mediated organ damage, cytokine storm, and thrombosis warrants early interventions to address all components of the devastating illness. In countries where therapeutic nihilism is prevalent, patients endure escalating symptoms and without early treatment can succumb to delayed in-hospital care and death. Prompt early initiation of sequenced multidrug therapy (SMDT) is a widely and currently available solution to stem the tide of hospitalizations and death. A multipronged therapeutic approach includes 1) adjuvant nutraceuticals, 2) combination intracellular anti-infective therapy, 3) inhaled/oral corticosteroids, 4) antiplatelet agents/anticoagulants, 5) supportive care including supplemental oxygen, monitoring, and telemedicine. Randomized trials of individual, novel oral therapies have not delivered tools for physicians to combat the pandemic in practice. No single therapeutic option thus far has been entirely effective and therefore a combination is required at this time. An urgent immediate pivot from single drug to SMDT regimens should be employed as a critical strategy to deal with the large numbers of acute COVID-19 patients with the aim of reducing the intensity and duration of symptoms and avoiding hospitalization and death.

Cancer Research ,Oncology - Abstract
Background: The primary aim of the NRG Oncology/NSABP B-52 clinical trial was to test if estrogen deprivation (ED) administered concomitantly with neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (TCHP), would improve the pCR rate in patients with HER2+/ER+ early breast cancer. A numerical increase in the pCR rate was observed with ED (46.1% v 40.9%), but the difference was not statistically significant. The purposes of this study were to assess the association of sTILs in pretreatment biopsies with pCR in the total population and within the molecular subtypes of breast cancer and to assess changes in sTILs between pre- and on-treatment biopsies. The secondary endpoints of recurrence-free interval (RFI) and overall survival (OS) are currently being analyzed and will be presented along with association of these endpoints with sTILs in pretreatment biopsies in the total cohort and within molecular subtypes. Methods: Scoring of sTILs on routine H&E slides from pre-treatment biopsies with sufficient tumor from 249 of the 315 patients (79%) entered in B-52 were performed by one of two pathologists (SKM, RSM). Both pathologists scored sTILs on a subset of 64 patients to document concordance. Wilcoxon two-sided test, box and whisker plots, and forest plots were used to assess associations with pCR. Molecular subtypes were determined utilizing RNA-seq data and AIMS subtyping method. On-treatment biopsies were available in 46 patients and were scored and compared to paired baseline samples. Results: Good concordance between pathologists was established with an inter-pathologist difference of ˂20% difference between scores in 92% of cases. sTILs in pre-treatment samples were associated with pCR across both arms of the trial (p=0.0074) and in the TCHP+ED arm (p=0.033), but not in the TCHP arm (p=0.093). The distribution of intrinsic subtypes was 34% luminal B, 29% luminal A, 28% HER2E, 5.8% normal, and 2.7% basal, with no significant differences between the arms. Presence of sTILs showed a trend for association with pCR in HER2E pre-treatment samples (p=0.054) but not in non-HER2E (p=0.75). Similarly, sTILs were associated with pCR in non-luminal tumors (p=0.055) but not in luminal tumors (p=0.44). Stratification by treatment arm and menopausal status suggested sTILs are associated with pCR in premenopausal women treated with TCHP (OR: 1.04, 95% CI=1.00-1.09). Interestingly, decreases in the sTIL scores with treatment were associated with pCR in the TCHP+ED arm (p=0.01) but not in the TCHP arm. Analysis of RFI and OS on B-52 is ongoing and will be presented along with associations of sTILs with intrinsic subtypes for RFI and OS. Conclusions: Although a positive correlation between sTILs and pCR was observed, the clinical utility appears limited because of the extensive overlap in the TIL scores between pCR and non-pCR tumors. Significance for a positive association of sTILs with pCR was detected in HER2E but not in luminal tumors. This may be due to the molecular differences of the subtypes, or the make-up of the TILs, or both. The association of a decrease in sTILs with TCHP+ED treatment needs further investigation. The small number of samples is a limitation of the study; however, the B-52 protocol specified that the collection of the B-52 samples was for the purpose of exploratory analysis. Our results highlight the molecular heterogeneity of the HER+/ER+ patient population and suggests that different treatment strategies may be required in future treatment regimens for this patient population.

Cancer Research ,Oncology - Abstract
Background: The CLEOPATRA trial established trastuzumab, pertuzumab and a taxane (THP) as a standard of care for first line metastatic, HER2-positve breast cancer with median progression-free survival (PFS) of 18.7 months and median OS of 57 months. NRG BR004 was a phase III, placebo-controlled trial designed to determine whether the addition of the PD-L1 inhibitor, atezolizumab, to THP would improve progression-free survival (PFS), relative to THP/placebo in patients with newly documented HER2-positive measurable metastatic breast cancer. Methods: BR004 was designed to detect an improvement in the primary endpoint of PFS in patients with measurable disease from 16.5 to 22.5 months with addition of atezolizumab (HR 0.733). A sample size of 600 would provide 80% power with a type I error rate of 0.05 to detect such an improvement when 326 PFS events had been reported. Monthly accrual was projected at 30 patients per month with completion of accrual in 24 months. In addition to routine monitoring of safety data by the IDMC every 6 months, a formal analysis of the toxicity data was to be performed 16 weeks after the 100th patient had been randomized with review by the IDMC. Results: First patient was randomized on May 1, 2019, and after 37 months 190 patients had been randomized. Several amendments were not successful in addressing the low accrual rate. The IDMC began regular monitoring of safety and accrual data in July 2020 and reviewed the formal safety analysis in February 2022. As of the February 2022 IDMC meeting, four Grade 5 adverse events (AEs) had been reported (2 occurring in 2020 and 2 in 2021), one of which occurred in a patient with evolving liver failure due to rapid disease progression at the start of therapy. The recommendation was to continue without modification, but notice was given the Grade 5 AEs had occurred on the same treatment arm without unblinding. When additional Grade 5 AEs occurred on 3/4/2022 and 4/27/2022 both on the same study arm with none reported on the other arm, accrual was held until the IDMC could review updated safety data, narratives of the Grade 5 AEs and the overall context of the trial. There was no evidence of clinically important imbalances between Grade 3 and Grade 4 AEs between the arms., Based on an uncertain but material safety signal, the ongoing accrual challenges, and determination that the clinical question being addressed was no longer sufficiently compelling, the IDMC recommended that the trial should be permanently closed to further enrollment. Summary safety data from 187 treated patients are provided in the Table. A decision was made to discontinue atezolizumab/placebo in patients receiving the investigational component of the trial therapy and unblind investigators and patients. The study will continue to collect information on PFS events, deaths and late immune AEs through April of 2024 when PFS and OS will be analyzed. Conclusions: The imbalance in Grade 5 AEs which occurred on BR004 coupled with continued poor accrual and the changing landscape in HER2+ MBC resulted in early closure of enrollment and unblinding of patients. Follow-up continues to assess PFS, OS and monitor for delayed immune AEs. Support: U10CA180868, -189867, -180822; U24CA196067; and Genentech. Citation Format: Charles E.

Cancer Research ,Oncology - Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocrine therapies (ETs) that target estrogen receptor (ER) activity and/or estrogen synthesis are the mainstay of ER+ breast cancer (BC) treatment. Despite best management, ≤20% of patients (pts) with ER+/HER2– early BC (eBC) develop resistance (in some cases due to acquisition of tumor mutations in ESR1 that can drive estrogen-independent transcription and proliferation) and still have high recurrence rates on standard ETs. New treatment alternatives for ER+/HER2– eBC are needed to reduce risk of recurrence and improve survival, tolerability, quality of life, and adherence. Giredestrant, a highly potent, nonsteroidal oral selective ER antagonist and degrader (SERD), achieves robust ER occupancy and is active against tumors that retain ER-sensitivity or have ESR1 mutation(s). It has been demonstrated to be more potent in vitro and achieves higher ER occupancy in vivo than fulvestrant, the only currently approved SERD. Early-phase clinical studies have demonstrated that single-agent giredestrant (30 mg daily) has promising clinical and pharmacodynamic activity and is well tolerated in the ER+/HER2– eBC and metastatic BC settings. TRIAL DESIGN This is a phase III, global, randomized, open-label, multicenter study evaluating efficacy and safety of adjuvant giredestrant vs physician’s choice of adjuvant ET (PCET) in pts with medium- and high-risk stage I–III histologically confirmed ER+/HER2– eBC. Pts are randomized 1:1 to oral 30 mg daily giredestrant or PCET (tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, given according to prescribing information). Stratification factors are risk (medium vs high, based on anatomic [tumor size, nodal status] and biologic features [grade, Ki67, gene signatures if available]); geographic region (US/Canada/Western Europe vs Asia-Pacific vs rest of the world); prior chemotherapy (no vs yes); and menopausal status (pre-/perimenopausal vs postmenopausal). Beginning on Day 1 of Cycle 1, pts will be treated with giredestrant or PCET for ≥5 years. Continuing PCET after 5 years is at discretion of the investigator and per local standard of care. ELIGIBILITY Female/male pts with medium-/high-risk stage I–III ER+/HER2– eBC; prior curative surgery; completion of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy (if administered) and/or surgery < 12 months prior to enrollment; no prior ET (≤4 weeks of [neo]adjuvant ET is allowed). For men and pre-/perimenopausal women, a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist will be given per local prescribing information (mandatory for pts in the giredestrant arm). AIMS Primary endpoint: Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS). Secondary endpoints: Overall survival; IDFS (STEEP definition, including second non-primary BC); disease-free survival; distant recurrence-free survival; locoregional recurrence-free interval; safety; pharmacokinetics; pt-reported outcomes. In addition, this study aims to improve health equity in research and expand clinical trial access. The study will also use/develop digital healthcare solutions, which will enable better understanding of pts’ needs and their adherence to ET. STATISTICAL METHODS The primary endpoint analysis will use a stratified log-rank test at an overall 0.05 significance level (two-sided). An interim analysis and a futility analysis are planned, and an independent data monitoring committee will be in place. ACCRUAL 1018/4100 pts have been recruited globally.

The research analyses the precarious and non-precarious work practices within the informal sector. Labour in the informal sector and in regions without strong labour relations is not uniformly precarious but is categorised by a bimodality of incomes, citizenships and conducts. This creates opportunities for insurgent modes of counter-conduct in the interstices of regulations and social conventions, but has also resulted in exclusive local citizenships and revanchist strategies. From numerous in-depth interviews, the study found that the Covid-19 lockdown and economic recession led to a new dialectical relationship between long-term residents and a precariat in-group of non-propertied actors, recent migrants and immigrants in the informal sector. Long-term residents with local citizenship aggregated formal and informal incomes and secondary incomes within the household, elevating them out of precariousness, although primarily active in the informal sector. These included strategies of adverse incorporation and revanchist conducts to maintain incomes for non-precarious workers. Marginalised precarious workers shifted to modes of counter-conduct, hiding the true nature of the business, evading strict social conventions on local trade and pursuing new inter-ethnic citizenships based on strategic partnerships.

Background: The cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin, trastuzumab, and other anticancer agents are well known, but molecular genetic testing is lacking for the early identification of patients at risk for therapy-related cardiac toxicity. Methods: Using the Agena Bioscience MassARRAY system, we genotyped TRPC6 rs77679196, BRINP1 rs62568637, LDB2 rs55756123, RAB22A rs707557, intergenic rs4305714, LINC01060 rs7698718, and CBR3 rs1056892 (V244M) (previously associated with either doxorubicin or trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity in the NCCTG N9831 trial of anthracycline-based chemotherapy ± trastuzumab) in 993 patients with HER2+ early breast cancer from the NSABP B-31 trial of adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy ± trastuzumab. Association analyses were performed with outcomes of congestive heart failure (N = 29) and maximum decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using logistic and linear regression models, respectively, under an additive model with age, baseline LVEF, and previous use of hypertensive medications as covariates. Results: Associations of maximum decline in LVEF in the NCCTG N9831 patients did not replicate in the NSABP B-31 patients. However, TRPC6 rs77679196 and CBR3 rs1056892 were significantly associated with congestive heart failure, p < 0.05, with stronger associations observed in patients treated with chemotherapy only (no trastuzumab) or in the combined analysis of all patients relative to those patients treated with chemotherapy + trastuzumab. Conclusions: TRPC6 rs77679196 and CBR3 rs1056892 (V244M) are associated with doxorubicin-induced cardiac events in both NCCTG N9831 and NSABP B-31. Other variants previously associated with trastuzumab-related decline in LVEF failed to replicate between these studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(adenosine diphosphate–ribose) polymerase inhibitors target cancers with defects in homologous recombination repair by synthetic lethality. New therapies are needed to reduce recurrence in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation–associated early breast cancer. METHODS We conducted a phase 3, double-blind, randomized trial involving patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–negative early breast cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and high-risk clinicopathological factors who had received local treatment and neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) to 1 year of oral olaparib or placebo. The primary end point was invasive disease–free survival. RESULTS A total of 1836 patients underwent randomization. At a prespecified event-driven interim analysis with a median follow-up of 2.5 years, the 3-year invasive disease–free survival was 85.9% in the olaparib group and 77.1% in the placebo group (difference, 8.8 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.5 to 13.0; hazard ratio for invasive disease or death, 0.58; 99.5% CI, 0.41 to 0.82; P<0.001). The 3-year distant disease–free survival was 87.5% in the olaparib group and 80.4% in the placebo group (difference, 7.1 percentage points; 95% CI, 3.0 to 11.1; hazard ratio for distant disease or death, 0.57; 99.5% CI, 0.39 to 0.83; P<0.001). Olaparib was associated with fewer deaths than placebo (59 and 86, respectively) (hazard ratio, 0.68; 99% CI, 0.44 to 1.05; P=0.02); however, the between-group difference was not significant at an interim-analysis boundary of a P value of less than 0.01. Safety data were consistent with known side effects of olaparib, with no excess serious adverse events or adverse events of special interest.

- Abstract
Treatment of HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) continues to evolve with neoadjuvant (pre-operative) and adjuvant (post-operative) HER2-targeted therapies as standard of care. There are two important decision points. The first involves deciding between neoadjuvant therapy or proceeding directly to surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) plus pertuzumab–trastuzumab is appropriate for patients with high-risk HER2-positive EBC (tumour diameter ≥2 cm, and/or node-positive disease). Patients with node-negative disease and tumour diameter <2 cm are candidates for upfront surgery followed by paclitaxel for 12 weeks plus 18 cycles of trastuzumab, with the option to add pertuzumab (if pN+). The second decision point involves the pathohistological result at surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. Total pathological complete response (tpCR: ypT0/is, ypN0) is associated with improved survival endpoints. Patients with tumours ≥2 cm and/or node-positive disease at diagnosis who have a tpCR after dual blockade should continue pertuzumab–trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting to complete 1 year (18 cycles) of treatment. For patients with invasive residual disease, 14 cycles of post-neoadjuvant trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) therapy significantly increases invasive-DFS compared with trastuzumab. Extended adjuvant therapy with neratinib is an option in selected patients (HER2-positive and oestrogen receptor [ER]-positive) who have completed adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. Less aggressive chemotherapy regimens are recommended in populations with a lower risk of recurrence (patients with small tumours without axillary involvement; patients unlikely to tolerate anthracycline-taxane or taxane-carboplatin regimens). Ultimately, treatment recommendations should be consistent with local and international guidelines. Further studies will guide optimisation of treatment for patients with HER2-positive EBC according to the risk of disease recurrence., SCOPUS: re.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
This text is designed to present a practical and concise handbook on the diagnosis and management of breast diseases for quick reference by trainees and practitioners. It emphasizes the approach to diagnosis and management of breast tumors written from the perspectives of each member of the multidisciplinary management team (pathologist, radiologist, medical oncologist, surgical oncologist and radiation oncologist). The text is divided into two sections. The first section is written by each subspecialty with focus on the overview and management of breast tumors, current controversies, position statement when necessary, and quality assurance. The radiology overview addresses questions such as when to perform breast imaging, the difference between screening and diagnostic mammograms, when to perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound, the meaning of radiological descriptors, and lastly the cost effectiveness and quality assurance of radiologic assessment of breasttumors. The pathology overview addresses approaches to evaluation of breast biopsies and excision for calcifications, densities, distortion, asymmetry and masses, pitfalls to histologic interpretations, the utility of immunohistochemical stains, quality assurance and cost effectiveness, and current controversies and position statements. Surgical, medical and radiation oncology overviews address when to treat and when to refrain, current treatment options or modalities and the factors informing choice, utility of genomics or molecular diagnostics in management, quality assurance, controversies and position statements. The second section discusses common breast tumors (focusing on radiologic-pathologic diagnosis and correlation) using the practical approach highlighted in the first section. The entities discussed include but are not limited to fibroepithelial tumors, papillary lesions, spindle cell lesions, in-situ and invasive carcinomas. The uniqueness of this book is the focus on the integrated subspecialty approaches with perspectives directly from subspecialty experts and emphasis on how each member of the multidisciplinary team can contribute to the optimal care of the breast cancer patient. The text aims to bridge the gap of the “what next” question and foster a comprehensive, team approach for trainees and practicing physicians by providing information about specific entities from diagnosis to treatment. Generous illustrations and tables in the text enhance appreciation of the entities being discussed.

- Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus spreading across the world has led to surges of COVID-19 illness, hospitalizations, and death. The complex and multifaceted pathophysiology of life-threatening COVID-19 illness including viral mediated organ damage, cytokine storm, and thrombosis warrants early interventions to address all components of the devastating illness. In countries where therapeutic nihilism is prevalent, patients endure escalating symptoms and without early treatment can succumb to delayed in-hospital care and death. Prompt early initiation of sequenced multidrug therapy (SMDT) is a widely and currently available solution to stem the tide of hospitalizations and death. A multipronged therapeutic approach includes 1) adjuvant nutraceuticals, 2) combination intracellular anti-infective therapy, 3) inhaled/oral corticosteroids, 4) antiplatelet agents/anticoagulants, 5) supportive care including supplemental oxygen, monitoring, and telemedicine. Randomized trials of individual, novel oral therapies have not delivered tools for physicians to combat the pandemic in practice. No single therapeutic option thus far has been entirely effective and therefore a combination is required at this time. An urgent immediate pivot from single drug to SMDT regimens should be employed as a critical strategy to deal with the large numbers of acute COVID-19 patients with the aim of reducing the intensity and duration of symptoms and avoiding hospitalization and death.
