AIMS: HER2-positive breast carcinomas are all treated with first-line anti-HER2 therapy. However, immunohistochemical and molecular profiling demonstrates significant heterogeneity among HER2-positive carcinomas. Basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinomas are poorly differentiated from pure HER2-positive breast carcinomas.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-five patients with HER2-positive, ER- and PR-negative breast carcinomas who received anti-HER2 based neoadjuvant therapy were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-seven cases were classified as basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinoma with any positivity for CK5/6, and thirty-eight cases were classified as pure HER2-positive breast carcinoma with completely negativity for CK5/6. The clinicopathological features and tumor responses after neoadjuvant therapy and outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS: Compared to non-basal HER2-positive breast carcinoma, basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinoma showed distinctive histologic features including poor differentiation and syncytial tumor cells with pushing, invasive borders and a significantly higher proportion of apocrine metaplasia. They also demonstrated significantly higher histologic grade; 18/37 (48.6%) of basal-like carcinomas were grade 3, whereas only 5/38 (13.2%) of non-basal carcinomas were grade 3 (p = 0.001), Furthermore, basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinomas were more likely to be positive or completely negative for p53 (p = 0.009), and demonstrated a higher percentage of TP53 mutation (p = 0.17). These tumors were less responsive to anti-HER2 based neoadjuvant therapy, with Miller-Payne grades 1-3 higher than pure HER2-positive breast carcinoma (25/37 [67.6%] vs 16/38 [42.1%]), and the percentage of grade 4-5 was lower (12/37 [32.4%] vs 22/38 [57.9%]; p = 0.027).
CONCLUSIONS: Basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinoma has distinctive clinicopathological features and less histologic tumor response after neoadjuvant therapy. There is urgent need to recognize basal-like HER2-positive breast carcinoma to be treated precisely.
