Prognostic impact of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer receiving first-line treatment.
Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of death among women, with approximately 30% HER2-positive (HER2+). Although HER2-targeted therapies have improved outcomes for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (mBC), clinical challenges and prognostic variability remain. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have emerged as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in various tumors, including BC, but their role in HER2+ mBC is poorly understood. This multicentric retrospective cohort study evaluated the prognostic significance of TILs in 110 patients with HER2+ mBC treated with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and taxane-based chemotherapy at two Italian institutes from June 2013 to May 2024. TILs were assessed on metastatic or primary tumor samples. High TILs levels (>5%) were independently associated with longer PFS and OS. TILs levels were higher in primary tumours than in metastases (p = 0.009), with significant variation by metastatic site. These findings underscore the potential of TILs as prognostic biomarkers in HER2+ mBC, necessitating further prospective studies.
期刊介绍:
npj Breast Cancer publishes original research articles, reviews, brief correspondence, meeting reports, editorial summaries and hypothesis generating observations which could be unexplained or preliminary findings from experiments, novel ideas, or the framing of new questions that need to be solved. Featured topics of the journal include imaging, immunotherapy, molecular classification of disease, mechanism-based therapies largely targeting signal transduction pathways, carcinogenesis including hereditary susceptibility and molecular epidemiology, survivorship issues including long-term toxicities of treatment and secondary neoplasm occurrence, the biophysics of cancer, mechanisms of metastasis and their perturbation, and studies of the tumor microenvironment.
