Popis: 602Background: Increased stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (STILs) may predict for pathologic complete response (pCR) in HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab (H). Taxanes (T) and carboplatin (C) have immune modulating effects. Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity is a major mechanism of action of H, which may be enhanced by T, C, and pertuzumab (P). Pre and posttreatment tumor microenvironment immune markers in subjects treated with neoadjuvant HER2-targeted regimens have not been thoroughly described. This study quantifies baseline and changes in STILs, CD4+, CD8+, FoxP3+, and PD-L1+ cells in thirty HER2+ patients receiving neoadjuvant H-P regimens. Methods: Thirty patients with pre and post neoadjuvant TCH (n = 4) or TCHP (n = 26) tissue available were identified. STILs were measured manually by H&E. CD4, CD8, FoxP3, and PD-L1 were stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Immune infiltrates were compared between the pCR and non-pCR groups using the Wilcoxon rank sums test. The...
