Abstract
Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor to invasive breast cancer (IBC). Studies have indicated differences in DCIS outcome based on race or ethnicity, but molecular differences have not been investigated.
Methods: We examined the molecular profile of DCIS by self-reported race (SRR) and outcome groups in Black (n = 99) and White (n = 191) women in a large DCIS case-control cohort study with longitudinal follow up.
Results: Gene expression and pathway analyses suggested that different genes and pathways are involved in diagnosis and ipsilateral breast outcome (DCIS or IBC) after DCIS treatment in White versus Black women. We identified differences in ER and HER2 expression, tumor microenvironment composition, and copy number variations by SRR and outcome groups.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that different molecular mechanisms drive initiation and subsequent ipsilateral breast events in Black versus White women.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer Research, an international, peer-reviewed online journal, publishes original research, reviews, editorials, and reports. It features open-access research articles of exceptional interest across all areas of biology and medicine relevant to breast cancer. This includes normal mammary gland biology, with a special emphasis on the genetic, biochemical, and cellular basis of breast cancer. In addition to basic research, the journal covers preclinical, translational, and clinical studies with a biological basis, including Phase I and Phase II trials.
