Hormone receptor status: prognostic potential • Patients with ER-positive/PgR-positive and ER-positive/PgR-negative BC had significantly better prognoses than patients with ER-negative/PgR-negative disease. • Patients with ER-positive/PgR-negative tumors tended to have slightly worse disease-free and overall survival than patients with ER-positive/PgR-positive tumors, but the differences did not achieve statistical significance (P .05) Bordou et al. J Clin Oncol 2003; 21:1973-1979
Hormone receptor status: predictive potential • multivariate analyses confirmed that both ER and PgR are independent significant predictors of DFS and OS among patients who received adjuvant endocrine therapy; • the reduction in RR of recurrence was 53% for ER-positive/PgR-positive patients and 25% for ER-positive/PgR-negative patients (P .0001); • patients whose tumors are positive for both receptors have the greatest reduction of RR of death compared with patients whose tumors are ER-negative and PgR-negative.

Ki67: prognostic role in EBC Despite some limitations, this meta-analysis supports the prognostic role of Ki-67 in early BC, by showing a significant association between its expression and the risk of recurrence and death in all populations considered and for both outcomes, DFS and OS. de Azambuja et al. Br J Cancer 2007;96:1504-13
Breast Cancer Genomics and Clinical Classification Two different gene sets: first, a set of 476 cDNA clones previously selected to reflect intrinsic properties of the tumors and, second, a gene set that highly correlated with patient outcome. Sørlieet al. ProcNatlAcad Sci USA 2001;98:10869-74
Gene expression profiling predicts clinical outcome of breast cancer Panel A shows the pattern of expression of the 70 marker genes in a series of 295 consecutive patients with breast carcinomas. Each row represents the prognostic profile of the 70 marker genes for one tumor, and each column represents the relative level of expression of one gene. The tumors are numbered from 1 to 295 on the y axis, and the genes are numbered from 1 to 70 on the x axis. Red indicates a high level of expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) in the tumor, as compared with the reference level of mRNA, and green indicates a low level of expression. The dotted line is the determined threshold between a good-prognosis signature and a poor-prognosis signature. Panel B shows the time in years to distant metastases as a first event for those in whom this occurred, and the total duration of follow-up for all other patients. Panel C shows the lymph-node status (blue marks indicate lymph-node–positive disease, and white lymph-node–negative disease), the number of patients with distant metastases as a first event (blue marks), and the number of patients who died (blue marks). Van de Vijver et al. N Engl J Med 2002;347:1999-2009
Gene-expression signature is a predictor of survival in breast cancer ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PROGNOSIS SIGNATURE: • the prognosis profile was significantly associated with: • the histologic grade of the tumor (P<0.001); • the estrogen-receptor status (P<0.001); • age (P<0.001) • but not with: • the diameter of the tumor; • the extent of vascular invasion; • the number of positive lymph nodes • treatment Van de Vijver et al. N Engl J Med 2002;347:1999-2009
Gene-expression signature is a predictor of DFS and OS in breast cancer Among the overall population: HR for distant metastases as a first event was 5.1 (95% confidence interval, 2.9 to 9.0; P<0.001); HR for overall survival was 8.6 (95 %confidence interval, 4 to 19; P<0.001). Van de Vijver et al. N Engl J Med 2002;347:1999-2009
The St. Gallen and NIH criteria classify patients as at low risk or high risk on the basis of various histologic and clinical characteristics. This comparison shows that the prognosis profile assigned many more patients with lymph-node–negative disease to the low-risk (good-prognosis signature) group than did the traditional methods (40 percent, as compared with 15 percent according to the St. Gallen criteria and 7 percent according to the NIH criteria).

Histologic grade Simpson et al. J Clin Oncol 2000; 18:2059-2069
Molecular basis of histologic grade Most genes are overexpressed in grade 3 tumors (high expression is RED) and have functions that have been previously associated with cell cycle progression and proliferation. Sotiriou et al. J Natl Cancer Inst 2006; 98:262-272

Prediction of anthracycline-based chemotherapy benefit by RS: DFS • The RS was a strong predictive factor of CAF benefit for DFS, but degree of CAF benefit depended on the RS: • NO apparent benefit for scores <18 (p=0.97; HR=1.02) or 18–30 (p=0.48; HR=0.72); • SIGNIFICANT advantage for CAF-T compared to tamoxifen alone for patients with RS ≥31 (p=0.033; HR=0.59) Albain et al.

Circulating Tumoral Cells in Adjuvant Therapy Three typical patterns of response observed: • Decrease >10x • MarginalChange • Increase>10x Peripherally circulating tumor cells are influenced by systemic CT An increase (even after initial response to therapy) of 10-fold or more at the end of therapy is a strong predictor of relapse and a surrogate marker for the aggressiveness of the tumor cells Pachmann et al.

Tailor therapy for individual patients Unanswered questions Are CTCs detected in the peripheral blood released from existing micrometastases or are they the source of distant metastases after “seeding” organ sites? Are there stem cells capable of “seeding”new tumor sites in the CTC? Could theCTCs be used to assess sensitivity of resistant tumor cells to alternative agents? 50
