Akrida I, Mulita F. The clinical significance of HER2 expression in DCIS. MEDICAL ONCOLOGY (NORTHWOOD, LONDON, ENGLAND) 2022; 40:16.

Abstract
HER2 is an established prognostic and predictive marker for patients with invasive breast cancer. The clinical and biological significance of HER2 overexpression in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) remains poorly defined. DCIS is a heterogeneous disease and some patients with DCIS will not progress to invasive breast cancer. However, clinically significant recurrence rates have been reported after breast-conserving surgery for DCIS and approximately half of these cases will be life-threatening invasive recurrences. Since the incidence of DCIS is rising due to the widespread use of screening mammography, there is robust interest in selecting high-risk DCIS patients that may benefit from adjuvant therapies. Molecular prognostic and predictive models in early invasive breast cancer help clinicians identify patients that will benefit from chemotherapy. Molecular subtyping and profiling could also be useful in treating DCIS patients. According to current practice guidelines, HER2 testing is not recommended in DCIS patients. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that HER2-positive DCIS cases may be associated with adverse clinicopathological parameters and increased recurrence rates. This review summarizes the existing body of evidence linking HER2 expression and ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence in DCIS. HER2, as well as its correlation with other clinicopathological markers might be a useful prognostic and predictive marker, helping clinical decision-making in DCIS patients.

Molecular subtypes predict second breast events of ductal carcinoma in situ after breast‐conserving surgery. Cancer Med 2022; 11:2755-2766. [PMID: 35598318 PMCID: PMC9302274 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Currently, the prognostic value of molecular subtypes in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) remains unclear. In this study, we explored whether molecular subtypes could predict second breast events (SBEs) in patients after breast‐conserving surgery (BCS). Methods From January 2008 to December 2016, 291 DCIS patients treated with BCS were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into four molecular subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression, and triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). The SBE incidence was calculated by the competing risk model and compared by Gray's test. The disease‐free survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log‐rank test. Prognostic factors were evaluated by univariate and multivariate COX proportional hazards regression model. Results With a median follow‐up of 66 months, 12 SBEs were identified. The 5‐year overall SBE incidence of luminal A, luminal B, HER2 overexpression, and TNBC was 2.18%, 4.25%, 15.15%, and 0.00%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the HER2 overexpression subtype was the predictor of overall (p = 0.005), in situ (p = 0.004), and ipsilateral SBEs (p = 0.008). Patients with endocrine therapy were less likely to develop in situ SBEs (p = 0.039). Additionally, patients with closed (<2 mm) or involved margins were related to a higher risk of contralateral SBEs (p = 0.029). In the multivariate analysis, the HER2 overexpression subtype remained of prognostic values for overall (p = 0.006), in situ (p = 0.029), and ipsilateral SBEs (p = 0.012). Conclusions The molecular subtype, especially the HER2 overexpression subtype, was the independent prognostic factor for DCIS patients who underwent BCS.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:634569. [PMID: 34094915 PMCID: PMC8175990 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.634569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Breast atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are precursor stages of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of breast cancer by dynamically analyzing expression changes of hub genes from normal mammary epithelium (NME) to simple ductal hyperplasia (SH), ADH, DCIS, and finally to IDC. Methods Laser-capture microdissection (LCM) data for NME, SH, ADH, DCIS, and IDC cells were obtained. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to dynamically analyze the gene modules and hub genes associated with the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Tissue microarray, immunohistochemical, and western blot analyses were performed to determine the protein expression trends of hub genes. Results Two modules showed a trend of increasing expression during the development of breast disease from NME to DCIS, whereas a third module displayed a completely different trend. Interestingly, the three modules displayed inverse trends from DCIS to IDC compared with from NME to DCIS; that is, previously upregulated modules were subsequently downregulated and vice versa. We further analyzed the module that was most closely associated with DCIS (p=7e-07). Kyoto Gene and Genomic Gene Encyclopedia enrichment analysis revealed that the genes in this module were closely related to the cell cycle (p= 4.3e-12). WGCNA revealed eight hub genes in the module, namely, CDK1, NUSAP1, CEP55, TOP2A, MELK, PBK, RRM2, and MAD2L1. Subsequent analysis of these hub genes revealed that their expression levels were lower in IDC tissues than in DCIS tissues, consistent with the expression trend of the module. The protein expression levels of five of the hub genes gradually increased from NME to DCIS and then decreased in IDC. Survival analysis predicted poor survival among breast cancer patients if these hub genes were not downregulated from DCIS to IDC. Conclusions Five hub genes, RRM2, TOP2A, PBK, MELK, and NUSAP1, which are associated with breast cancer pathogenesis, are gradually upregulated from NME to DCIS and then downregulated in IDC. If these hub genes are not downregulated from DCIS to IDC, patient survival is compromised. However, the underlying mechanisms warrant further elucidation in future studies.

Abstract
Background In invasive breast cancer, HER2 is a well-established negative prognostic factor. However, its significance on the prognosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is unclear. As a result, the impact of HER2-directed therapy on HER2-positive DCIS is unknown and is currently the subject of ongoing clinical trials. In this study, we aim to determine the possible impact of HER 2-directed targeted therapy on survival outcomes for HER2-positive DCIS patients. Materials and methods The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) was used to retrieve patients with biopsy-proven DCIS diagnosed from 2004-2015. Patients were divided into two groups based on the adjuvant therapy they received: systemic HER2-directed targeted therapy or no systemic therapy. Statistics included multivariable logistic regression to determine factors predictive of receiving systemic therapy, Kaplan-Meier analysis to evaluate overall survival (OS), and Cox proportional hazards modeling to determine variables associated with OS. Results Altogether, 1927 patients met inclusion criteria; 430 (22.3%) received HER2-directed targeted therapy; 1497 (77.7%) did not. Patients who received HER2-directed targeted therapy had a higher 5-year OS compared to patients that did not (97.7% vs. 95.8%, p = 0.043). This survival benefit remained on multivariable analysis. Factors associated with worse OS on multivariable analysis included Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Score ≥ 2 and no receipt of hormonal therapy. Conclusion In this large study evaluating HER2-positive DCIS patients, the receipt of HER2-directed targeted therapy was associated with an improvement in OS. The results of currently ongoing clinical trials are needed to confirm this finding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is a rare tumor composed of myoepithelial cells and ductal or luminal cells. Most cases of AME are benign, but rare cases in which either or both cell types exhibited malignant features have been reported. Due to its rarity, no diagnostic criteria for malignancy have been established for AME. PATIENT CONCERNS A 64-year-old woman presented with a mass in her right breast. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy examinations revealed lesions composed of spindle-shaped cells and round epithelial cells. AME was suspected, and partial mastectomy was performed. DIAGNOSIS The tumor specimen showed AME, which mainly consisted of spindle-shaped myoepithelial cells with slight atypia, admixed with tubular luminal cells and small areas of atypical intraductal proliferative lesions. No apparent features of malignancy, such as necrosis or invasion, were seen in the myoepithelial cells or the luminal or intraductal component. However, the atypical intraductal component exhibited focal nuclear atypia, a cribriform pattern, and moderate to strong membranous human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) immunoreactivity. HER2 amplification was detected in focal regions of the atypical intraductal component by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which resulted in a diagnosis of AME with ductal carcinoma in situ. OUTCOMES The patient did not receive further therapy and was free from tumor recurrence at 23 months after the operation. CONCLUSION HER2 FISH might be useful for evaluating suspected AME tumors for malignancy when an atypical ductal lesion that lacks definitive features of malignancy is encountered.

Abstract
The impact of HER2 status in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on the risk of progression to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) has been debated. We aim to use a national database to identify patients with known HER2 status to elucidate the effect of HER2 overexpression on ipsilateral IDC (iIDC) development. We performed survival analysis on patient-level data using the U.S. NCI's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program. We identified patients diagnosed with DCIS who underwent lumpectomy and had known HER2 status. Competing risks analysis was performed. A total of 1,540 patients had known HER2 status and met inclusion criteria. Median age at diagnosis was 60, median follow-up time was 44.5 months. A total of 417 (27.1%) patients were HER2 positive and 1,035 (67.2%) were HER2 negative. Twenty-two (1.4%) patients developed iIDC and 27 (1.8%) developed ipsilateral in situ or contralateral disease. The estimated cumulative incidence of iIDC at 5 years was 1.9% for all patients, 1.2% for HER2-negative and borderline patients, and 3.9% for HER2-positive patients. On multivariate competing risks regression, two factors were significant for iIDC: radiation (protective) therapy within 24 months (HR, 0.05; P = 0.00006) and HER2 overexpression (increased likelihood; HR, 2.72; P = 0.044). Patients with HER2-positive DCIS were more likely to have recurrences with receptor discordance. HER2 may serve as a prognostic factor for invasive recurrence and was the only lesion-related factor to significantly relate to iIDC development. It may also be associated with receptor discordance of recurrences. Further large studies will be needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Preoperatively diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is sometimes upstaged to invasive cancer by postoperative pathological examination. Various preoperative factors associated with upstaging to invasive cancer have been reported; however, this subject remains to be clarified. DCIS takes various forms on imaging, but many cases show non-mass-type lesions. In non-mass-type DCIS, recognizing the presence of invasion is difficult. To investigate predictors associated with upstaging to invasive cancer more precisely, we examined only non-mass-type DCIS. The present study retrospectively analyzed 101 patients diagnosed with non-mass-type DCIS preoperatively on breast biopsy at our institution between 2007 and 2017. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact probability test and two-sample t-tests. Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression. The results showed that 27 patients (27%) were finally diagnosed with invasive cancer. Univariate analysis revealed abnormal result of palpation on breast examination (P=0.05), comedo necrosis (P=0.05), and HER2 status (P=0.02) as significant predictors. Multivariate analysis revealed an abnormal result of palpation as an independent predictor of invasive cancer underestimation (odds ratio 4.76; confidence interval 1.44-15.7; P=0.01). In conclusion, preoperatively diagnosed non-mass-type DCIS represented an underestimation in approximately 27% of cases. In particular, the presence of a clinically abnormal palpation increases the chance of upstaging to invasive cancer.

Abstract
With the introduction of an organized mammographic screening, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has experienced an important increase. Our experience with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) among patients with DCIS is reviewed.We collected retrospective data on patients operated on their breasts for DCIS (pTis), DCIS with microinvasion (DCISM) (pT1mi) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) sized ≤2 cm (pT1) between January 2002 and June 2016, focusing on the result of SLNB.543 DCIS, 84 DCISM, and 2111 IDC were included. In cases of DCIS and DCISM, SLNB resulted micrometastatic respectively in 1.7% and 6.0% of cases and macrometastatic respectively in 0.9% and 3.6% of cases. 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival in DCISM and IDC were similar, while significantly longer in DCIS. 5-year local recurrence rate of DCIS and DCISM were respectively 2.5% and 7.9%, and their 5-year distant recurrence rate respectively 0% and 4%. IDC, tumor grading ≥2 and lymph node (LN) macrometastasis were significant predictors for decreased overall survival. Significant predictors for distant metastases were DCISM, IDC, macroscopic nodal metastasis, and tumor grading ≥2. Predictors for the microinvasive component in DCIS were tumor multifocality/multicentricity, grading ≥2, ITCs and micrometastases.Our study suggests that despite its rarity, sentinel node metastasis may also occur in case of DCIS, which in most cases are micrometastases. Even in the absence of an evident invasive component, microinvasion should always be suspected in these cases, and their management should be the same as for IDC.

Abstract
We compared the characteristics, clinical behavior, and biomarker profile between HER2 positive (HER2+) and triple-negative (TN) ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) which are considered more aggressive than other DCIS subtypes. In addition, we explored the impact of these features on its potential of progression to invasive breast carcinomas. Cases of DCIS diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, Singapore General Hospital from 1994 to 2010 were identified. TN and HER2+ DCIS cases formed the study cohort. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for ER, PR, HER2, CK14, EGFR, and p53. Comparisons of clinicopathological features, IHC results, and clinical outcomes were performed between the two groups. We evaluated 145 HER2+ and 85 TN DCIS cases. HER2 positive DCIS had significantly higher nuclear grade (p < 0.001) and more frequent necrosis (p < 0.001) than TN DCIS. HER2 positive DCIS also harbored significantly higher rates of nuclear p53 immunoreactivity (p = 0.002) than TN DCIS. Younger patients (age < 40) with HER2+ and TN DCIS demonstrated statistically significant worse invasive DFS than older women (p < 0.001). Multivariate cox regression analysis (HR 15.08, 95% CI 12.79-81.45, p = 0.002) also confirmed these findings. In addition, younger patients (age < 40) with HER2+ DCIS experienced significantly poorer prognosis when p53 was also positive (p = 0.033). HER2+ DCIS had more aggressive pathological characteristics compared to TN DCIS; accumulation of mutant p53 could possibly be contributory. Age was an independent predictor of aggressive biological behavior of HER2+ and TN DCIS. We demonstrated that younger patients with p53 positive HER2+ DCIS had significantly adverse clinical outcome.

Abstract
Ductal carcinoma in situ has been stable in incidence for a decade and has an excellent prognosis. Breast conservation therapy is safe and effective for most patients. Adjuvant whole breast radiation therapy is recommended to reduce the risk of local recurrence. Accelerated partial breast irradiation is a promising alternative to decrease toxicity and improve cosmetic results. Adjuvant hormonal therapy can reduce local recurrence, but should be used cautiously. Future directions in management include developing predictive tools for guidance for use of adjuvant therapy and selecting low-risk patients with ductal carcinoma in situ in whom surgery may be safely omitted.
