New Developments in Metastatic Breast Cancer

What Is a Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)? “Triple negative”: ER negative, PgR negative, HER2

negative

– Depending on thresholds used to define ER and PgR positivity and methods for HER2 testing

TNBC accounts for 10% to 17% of all breast carcinomas

Significantly more aggressive than other molecular subtype tumors

Majority grade 3 tumors

Most frequently high grade invasive ductal carcinomas of no special type

Reis-Filho JS, et al. Histopathology. 2008;52:108-118.

Page 27: triple negative breast cancer

Who gets triple negative breast cancer?

15 % of breast cancer in US Young women African American women BRCA1 positive

Any woman can get any type of breast cancer

Epidemiology

Carey LA et al - 2006Carolina Breast Cancer Study

n = 1.424

Page 29: triple negative breast cancer

New Developments in Metastatic Breast Cancer

Characteristics and Features of TNBC Phenotype Weak relationship between tumor size and nodal status

Rapid rise in risk of recurrence following diagnosis

Peak risk of recurrence at 1-3 yrs

Distant recurrence rarely preceded by local recurrence

Local recurrence not predictive of distant recurrence

Increased mortality rate first 5 yrs

Majority of deaths occurs within first 5 yrs

Rapid progression from distant recurrence to death

Page 74: triple negative breast cancer

TNBC: Conclusions

• TNBC is a recognized distinct subtype of BC– ER, PR, HER2-negative by IHC

• Surrogate of basal-like BC– More aggressive biology (morphology, clinical, molecular)

• TNBC responds to a variety of CT agents although no specific standard regimen or agent can be singled out

• TNBC has no identified specific therapeutic target• Represents an heterogeneous group of tumors probably

with different response patterns to different treatments– Introduction of novel agents (PARPi, others) ?– Biomarkers: RAD-51, Neuropilin ?

Page 75: triple negative breast cancer

En conclusión…

• Presente como cáncer de intervalo• Poca asociación entre tamaño de tumor y estado axilar.

• Metástasis tempranas y agresivas.• Recurrencia pico entre 1º y 3º años del diagnóstico.

• La recurrencia local no predice recaída a distancia.

Page 76: triple negative breast cancer

En conclusión…

• Más prevalente en jóvenes.• Fuerte asociación con obesidad.• Alta prevalencia de mets cerebrales.• La mayoría de las muertes son a 5 años.• Altamente quimiosensible.• Todos los tratamientos en estudios.

Page 77: triple negative breast cancer

Triple Negative Breast Cancer

• Represents a subtype of breast cancer with unique molecular and clinical characteristics .

• Characterized by more aggressive clinicopathologic features including younger age, higher mean tumor size, and higher-grade tumors .

• More likely to occur among premenopausal women of African-American descent .

• Association with BRCA1 mutation status. • More likely to develop a recurrence during the

first 3 years following therapy • More aggressive visceral and soft-tissue relapse

and less common bone recurrence.• High response to systemic chemotherapy.

103

Page 78: triple negative breast cancer

Future Directions

• Increase participation in clinical trials.• Design and implement cancer prevention trials

applicable to at risk populations.• Increase understanding of risk factors and

biology underlying triple-negative breast cancer.• Improving treatment strategies. • Continuous review of current methods.
