Abstract

Abstract Background: Typically defined by negative IHC staining for E-cadherin, classic (CILC) and pleomorphic (PILC) are often combined as a single breast cancer subtype. We queried whether patients with relapsed metastatic disease, mCILC and mPILC, would harbor contrasting genomic alterations (GA)and that molecular information could further differentiate the 2 tumor types and thereby influence therapy selection. Methods: DNA was extracted from 40 µm of FFPE sections of 10,784 invasive breast carcinomas. 454 (4%) CDH1 mutated mILC were selected including 428 classic mCILC (94%) and 26 mPLIC (6%) subtypes. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed on hybridization-captured, adaptor ligation-based libraries to a mean coverage depth >600X for up to 315 cancer-related genes. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA. Results: mCILC and mPILC patients featured a median age of 63 years (Table). Slide based ER+ status and HER2+ status was significantly different in both groups (P<0.0001). The frequency of base substitutions in ESR1 was significantly higher in mCILC, and this difference was also significantly higher in mCILC metastasis biopsies exposed to hormonal therapy than in pre-treatment primary tumors (P<0.0001). ERBB2 (HER2) GA (amp + non-amp) detected by CGP were higher in mPILC than mCILC in both pre-and post-treatment samples (P<0.0001 for both). The ERBB2 GA frequency was nearly twice as high after hormonal therapy in both mCILC and mPILC. ESR1 and ERBB2 GA were mutually exclusive overall and especially in the mCILC group. PIK3CA GA were the most frequent GA in both mCILC and mPILC. TP53 GA were significantly more frequent in mPILC than mCILC. At 19%, the frequency of TMB > 15 mutations/MB in mPILC was more than twice as frequent than in mCILC (P=0.046). All (100%) of both the CILC and PILC groups were negative for mis-match repair deficiency or MSI high status. mCILC and mPILC patients with post primary therapy associated ESR1 and ERBB2 GA responding to targeted and immunotherapies will be presented.

Although both mCILC and mPILC feature subsets of tumors with high TMB, this is more frequent for mPILC likely indicating different potentials for immunotherapies to benefit these patients.
