No standard method exists to identify women at risk who might benefit from preventive cardiac strategies and surveillance during and after treatment.ObjectiveTo develop and validate a model predicting the 10-year risk of developing HF/CM in women receiving systemic treatment for invasive early-stage BC to inform cardiac risk management.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis longitudinal cohort study of patients cared for in Kaiser Permanente Southern California, a vertically integrated health care system. The goal of the study was to predict the 10-year HF/CM risk using multivariable elastic-net Cox proportional hazards models. Women aged 18 to 79 years with newly diagnosed invasive local or regional BC from 2008 to 2020, with a median follow-up of 5.2 years, were included. The cohort was randomly split into derivation (60%) and validation (40%) cohorts. Data were analyzed from April 2024 to May 2025.ExposuresHF/CM risk predictors included age at BC diagnosis, race and ethnicity, area-level socioeconomic status, local and systemic BC treatments, cancer stage, obesity, and history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and other CV conditions.Main Outcome and MeasuresIncident HF/CM events. Women were categorized into low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups based on the tertiles of the risk score in the derivation cohort.ResultsOf 26 044 women included in the total cohort, the median (IQR) age was 61 (52-68) years. The risk model had good calibration and high accuracy in predicting HF/CM risk in the 3 subgroups, with HF/CM risk in the validation cohort matching the estimates from the derivation for identifying women at low risk (1.7%; 95% CI, 1.1%-2.4%) and high risk (19.4%; 95% CI. 17.3%-21.5%) of HF/CM at 10 years. The model's discrimination ability was good, based on the time-dependent area under the curve of 0.79 at 10 years in the validation cohort.Conclusions and RelevanceThis risk prediction model among women with early-stage BC was able to prospectively identify those at risk of HF/CM over a 10-year period based on the selected BC treatment and clinical variables available at BC diagnosis. The model can be used to inform risk-guided cardiac management for these women.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145339191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed from January to July 2025.ExposureAll patients received first-line anti-PD-1 with or without anti-CTLA-4.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe percentage of TILs inside manually annotated tumor area in hematoxylin-eosin-stained pretreatment metastases was determined using the Hover-NeXt model trained and evaluated on an independent melanoma dataset containing 161 835 pathologist-verified manually annotated cells. The primary outcome was objective response rate (ORR); secondary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Correlation with manual TILs, scored according to the guidelines stated by the Immuno-Oncology Biomarkers Working Group, was evaluated with Spearman correlation coefficients. Logistic regression and Cox proportional regression were conducted, adjusted for age, sex, disease stage, ICI type, BRAF status, brain metastases, lactate dehydrogenase level, and performance status.ResultsOf 1202 included patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma, 445 (37.0%) were female and 757 (63.0%) were male, and the median (IQR) age was 67.0 (57.0-74.0) years. The median follow-up was 36.3 months (95% CI, 34.0-39.1). Metastatic melanoma specimens were available for 1202 patients, of whom 423 received combination therapy. The median (range) TIL percentage was 9.9% (0.3%-69.4%). A 10% increase in TILs was associated with increased ORR (adjusted odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.23-1.59), PFS (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.79-0.92), and OS (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.76-0.91). Results were consistent for both patients treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy and patients treated with combination treatment with anti-PD-1 plus anti-CTLA-4. When comparing manual TIL scoring with AI-detected TILs, associations with response and survival were consistently stronger for AI-detected TILs.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, among patients with advanced melanoma, higher levels of AI-detected TILs on pretreatment hematoxylin-eosin slides were independently associated with improved ICI response and survival. Given the accessibility of TIL scoring on routine histology, TILs may serve as a biomarker for ICI outcomes. To facilitate broader validation, the Hover-NeXt architecture and model weights are publicly available.","PeriodicalId":14850,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Oncology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145296087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reports the first prospective oncologic outcomes of radiotherapy decisions as guided by 12-gene molecular assay, the DCIS score (DS).ObjectiveTo assess surgical outcomes following preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women with DCIS and estimate 5-year and 10-year ipsilateral breast event (IBE) rates in participants given DS-based postoperative radiotherapy recommendations after local excision (WLE).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsWomen with screen-detected DCIS who were eligible for WLE were enrolled to a single-arm, multicenter trial conducted at 75 institutions within the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network (March 2015 to April 2016) and received a preoperative breast MRI-guided surgical treatment. Those who underwent successful WLE were advised to omit radiotherapy for low DS (<39) and receive radiotherapy for intermediate/high DS (≥39). Those achieving WLE as final treatment and successful DS assay (n = 171) were included in a prespecified analysis. Participants were followed up every 6 months for DCIS or invasive IBE, and 5-year IBE rates were analyzed from July to November 2023.InterventionDS-based postoperative radiotherapy recommendations.Main Outcomes and MeasuresFive-year IBE rates, with 95% CIs.ResultsAmong the 339 participants, the mean (SD) age was 59.1 (10.1) years. A total of 171 women (50.4%) received WLE for pure DCIS with free surgical margins and had DS data available. A total of 159 (93.0%) adhered to DS-based radiotherapy recommendations; 7 of 82 patients (8.5%) with a low DS underwent radiotherapy, and 5 of 89 patients (5.6%) with an intermediate/high DS declined radiotherapy. Over median (range) follow-up of 5 (0.5-5.0) years, 8 of 171 women experienced IBEs (4.8%; 95% CI, 2.4%-9.4%).
