BRCA
-mutated breast cancer cells lack the DNA-repair mechanism homologous recombination that is required for error-free DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) may cause hypersensitivity to DNA DSB-inducing agents, such as bifunctional alkylating agents and platinum salts. HRD can be caused by
BRCA
mutations, and by other mechanisms. To identify HRD, studies have focused on triple-negative (TN) breast cancers as these resemble
BRCA1
-mutated breast cancer closely and might also share this hypersensitivity. However, ways to identify HRD in non-
BRCA
-mutated, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancers have remained elusive. The current study provides evidence that genomic patterns resembling
BRCA1-
or
BRCA2
-mutated breast cancers can identify breast cancer patients with TN as well as ER-positive, HER2-negative tumors that are sensitive to intensified, DSB-inducing chemotherapy.
Methods
Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was used to classify breast cancers. Patients with tumors with similar aCGH patterns as
BRCA1
- and/or
BRCA2
-mutated breast cancers were defined as having a BRCA-like
CGH
status, others as non-BCRA-like
CGH
. Stage-III patients (n = 249) had participated in a randomized controlled trial of adjuvant high-dose (HD) cyclophosphamide-thiotepa-carboplatin (CTC) versus 5-fluorouracil-epirubicin-cyclophosphamide (FE
90
C) chemotherapy.
Results
Among patients with BRCA-like
CGH
tumors (81/249, 32%), a significant benefit of HD-CTC compared to FE
90
C was observed regarding overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio 0.19, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.48) that was not seen for patients with non-BRCA-like
CGH
tumors (adjusted hazard ratio 0.90, 95% CI: 0.53 to 1.54) (
P
= 0.004). Half of all BRCA-like
CGH
tumors were ER-positive.
Conclusions
Distinct aCGH patterns differentiated between HER2-negative patients with a markedly improved outcome after adjuvant treatment with an intensified DNA-DSB-inducing regimen (BRCA-like
CGH
patients) and those without benefit (non-BRCA-like
CGH
patients). |
