Background: Retesting for Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) in post-neoadjuvant therapy resection is variable, and data is conflicting regarding the prognostic significance of changes in HER2 expression pre and post therapy. Methods: We identified 104 patients with localized HER2 IHC 3+ breast cancer who received neoadjuvant trastuzumab(T)/pertuzumab(P) containing chemotherapy at Yale Cancer Center between 2012 and 2022. Patients were divided into 3 cohorts by response and HER2 IHC in the residual disease: Cohort 1 pathologic complete response (pCR), Cohort 2 pre-treatment IHC 3+/post treatment IHC 1+/2+, and Cohort 3 pre-treatment IHC 3+/post-treatment IHC 3+. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to assess recurrence free survival at 36 months. Results: The overall pCR rate was 62.5% (65/104), while 37.5% (39/104) of patients had residual disease (RD). Among patients with RD, 58.9% (23/39) remained IHC 3+ and 41.1% (16/39) had reduced HER2 expression IHC1+ or 2+. In patients with HER2 IHC 3+ RD, 26% (6/23) developed local recurrence or distant metastasis while none of patients with post NAT HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ RD had relapse (p = 0.0309). In patients with pCR, 6.15% (4/65) had recurrence. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed superior disease-free survival in patients with reduced HER2 IHC expression compared to those with remained IHC 3+ (log rank p = 0.004). Conclusion: We conclude that reduced HER2 expression by IHC following neoadjuvant treatment was associated with lower recurrence rates in HER2 IHC 3+ breast cancer. If confirmed, RD HER2 IHC expression could be used as a prognostic biomarker to stratify patients in adjuvant trials and identify patients who may benefit from more intensive adjuvant therapy and post therapy surveillance. |
