Popis: Introduction: We previously reported that molecular prognostic subgroup classification of operable breast cancers resembles the classification based on combined immunohistochemical expression of ER, PR and HER-2 receptors. This update represents a larger cohort with more detailed follow-up (median 5.5y). Patients and methods: A prospective cohort of 4334 breast-cancer patients primary operated at our institution between 2000 and 2009. Steroid receptors were considered positive for any nuclear staining, HER-2 for strong (3+) membrane staining or positive fluorescence in situ hybridization. Survival curves were calculated for six predefined breast cancer subgroups: ER + PR + HER-2 - (PPN), ER + PR - HER-2 - (PNN), ER + PR + HER-2 + (PPP), ER - PR - HER-2 - (NNN), ER - PR - HER-2 + (NNP), and ER + PR - HER-2 + (PNP) (figures not allowed in abstract). Disease free interval (DFI), distant metastatis free interval (DMFI), overall survival (OS) and breast cancer specific survival (BCSS) were calculated. A long-rank test was used for testing the null hypothesis of no difference between the groups. Results: Conclusion: Combined receptor expression for ER/PR/HER2 determines specific breast cancer subtypes with significant different clinical behavior. Both predictive and prognostic factors need to be considered when interpreting these results. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2011;71(24 Suppl):Abstract nr P4-09-07.
