Triple negative breast cancer: Pitfalls and progress

Paola Zagami, Lisa A. Carey · 20 Aug 2022

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by the lack of estrogen and progesterone receptor expression and lacks HER2 overexpression or gene amplification. It accounts for 10-15% of incident breast cancers and carries the worst prognosis. TNBC is overrepresented among Black and pre-menopausal women and is associated with significant psychological and treatment-related burdens, including financial…

Clinical, pathological, and PAM50 gene expression features of HER2-low breast cancer

Francesco Schettini, Núria Chic, Fara Brasó‐Maristany et al. · 4 Jan 2021

Novel antibody-drug conjugates against HER2 are showing high activity in HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) with low HER2 expression (i.e., 1+ or 2+ and lack of ERBB2 amplification). However, the clinical and molecular features of HER2-low BC are yet to be elucidated. Here, we collected retrospective clinicopathological and PAM50 data from 3,689 patients with HER2-negative disease…

MONARCH 3 final PFS: a randomized study of abemaciclib as initial therapy for advanced breast cancer

Stephen Johnston, Miguel Martín, Angelo Di Leo et al. · 11 Jan 2019

Abstract At the MONARCH 3 interim analysis, abemaciclib plus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) with a tolerable safety profile as initial treatment for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) advanced breast cancer (ABC). MONARCH 3 is a randomized, phase III, double-blind…

Tumor-associated macrophages: unwitting accomplices in breast cancer malignancy

Carly Bess Scalise, Elizabeth S. Yeh, Adam C. Soloff · 19 Jan 2016

Deleterious inflammation is a primary feature of breast cancer. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that macrophages, the most abundant leukocyte population in mammary tumors, have a critical role at each stage of cancer progression. Such tumor-associated macrophages facilitate neoplastic transformation, tumor immune evasion and the subsequent metastatic cascade. Herein, we discuss the dynamic process whereby molecular and…

Quantitative MRI radiomics in the prediction of molecular classifications of breast cancer subtypes in the TCGA/TCIA data set

Hui Li, Yitan Zhu, Elizabeth S. Burnside et al. · 10 May 2016

Abstract Using quantitative radiomics, we demonstrate that computer-extracted magnetic resonance (MR) image-based tumor phenotypes can be predictive of the molecular classification of invasive breast cancers. Radiomics analysis was performed on 91 MRIs of biopsy-proven invasive breast cancers from National Cancer Institute’s multi-institutional TCGA/TCIA. Immunohistochemistry molecular classification was performed including estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal…
