Popis: 1078 Background: No surrogate biomarkers have been identified to predict response to an antiangiogenic agent for cancer treatment. Methods: We collected basal tissue samples from patients with lymphangitic spread to the chest wall with or without metastases, treated with bevacizumab in combination with sequential, and/or concurrent oral vinorelbine plus capecitabine. Gene expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Data were analyzed using Partek Genomic Suite 6.4 and GeneSpring 7.0. Normal breast tissue was used as control. Results: Out of 46 planned, 45 patients have been enrolled. The data here reported are related to 20 patients included in the concurrent treatment arm. We observed 8 PR (40%) and 11 SD (55%). Global gene expression was analyzed in tumor samples from 18 patients bearing a triple negative phenotype. Compared with normal breast samples and breast tumors of other subtypes, this cohort displayed a specific gene expression profile, similar to that described ...
