Benign breast lesions: standard pathology report
1. Histologic type + type of proliferation
2. Maximum diameter
3. Nuclear grade (for DCIS only)
4. Resection margin (for DCIS & pleomorphic LCIS only)
5. Presence/absence of micro-invasion (for DCIS only)
6. Areas of involvement (unifocal, multifocal, multicentric)
VAN NUYS Prognostic Index for the management of DCIS

Score 1: size < or = 1.5 cm Score 2: size 1.6 – 4 cm Score 3: size > or = 4.1 cm
Nuclear grade
Score 1: DCIS nuclear grade 1 Score 2: DCIS nuclear grade 2 Score 3: DCIS nuclear grade 3
Surgical margin
Score 1: tumor-free margin < or = 1 cm Score 2: tumor-free margin 0.1 – 0.9 cm Score 3: tumor-free margin < 0.1 cm
Age of patient
Score 1: > 60 y.o Score 2: 40 – 60 y.o Score 3: < 40 y.o
Management
Score 4 – 6 : lumpectomy Score 7 – 9 : lumpectomy + radiation Th. Score 10 – 12 : mastectomy

Malignant lesions
Malignant lesions1. Secretory/Juvenile carcinoma (<0.15%)2. Tubular carcinoma (<2%)- so low recurrence that some centers
consider adjuvant th. unnecessary.3. Invasive cribriform carcinoma (0.8-3.5%)4. Metaplastic carcinoma (<1%)5. Invasive papillary carcinoma (1-2%)6. Mucinous carcinoma (~2%)7. Neuroendocrine carcinoma (2-5%)8. Medullary carcinoma (1-7%)9. Invasive lobular carcinoma (5-15%)10. Invasive ductal carcinoma (75%)
Invasive carcinoma – standard pathology report
1. Histologic type
2. Histologic grade (Bloom-Richardson)
3. TNM (size, node, distant metastasis)
4. Ki-67 index
5. Lympho-vascular invasion
8. Status of resection margins
9. ER, PR, HER2/neu status
10. In situ components, if present
6. Necrosis
7. Tumour border
Histologic type: different prognosis
Darius Dian et al . Arch Gynecol Obstet (2009) 279:23–28
Histologic typeGives pathologists and clinicians the ideas of:
1. Tumour’s aggressiveness2. Patients’ overall prognosis3. Tumour’s origin (i.e. basal-like + family history of breast CA highly suggestive for
hereditary origin of BRCA1 mutation*)4. Response to chemotherapy (i.e. basal-like 45% pCR after neoadjuvant therapy using
anthracycline and taxane**)

Basal-like?
Features of basal-like breast CAHistology:• Solid growth pattern• High nuclear grade• < 5% DCIS• Lympho-vascular invasion• Central scar• Pushing border• Marked lymphocytic infiltrates
Immunohistochemical profile: CK5 + or CK14 + or CK17 + or EGFR +

HER2/neu
Estogen receptor
Overview on ER, PR, HER2 status in breast cancer
HER2/neu overexpressed in 25 – 30%
ER, PR, HER2 status (con’t)
Molecular sub-types of breast CA:
• Luminal A (ER/PR +, HER2 -)• Luminal B (ER/PR +, HER2 +)• HER2 sub-type (ER/PR -, HER2 +)• Basal-like (ER -, PR -, HER2 -)
Perou CM, Sorlie T, Eisen MB et al (2000). Nature 406:747–752
Hiroo Nakajima et al. World J Surg (2008) 32:2477–2482
Prognosis of each sub-type of breast CA
ER, PR, HER2 status (con’t)
Therapeutic implication :
• Luminal A (ER/PR +, HER2 -) Hormonal therapy• Luminal B (ER/PR +, HER2 +) Hormonal therapy? + anti-HER2• HER2 sub-type (ER/PR -, HER2 +) anti-HER2• Basal-like (ER -, PR -, HER2 -) No benefit from either therapy
“Quickscore” for ER-PR IHC
Staining intensity- Negative (no staining of any nuclei at high magnification)= 0 - Weak (only visible at high magnification) = 1 - Moderate (readily visible at low magnification) = 2 - Strong (strikingly positive at low magnification) = 3
Proportion of positive cells (nuclei) - 0% = 0 - <1% = 1 - 1–10% = 2 - 11–33% = 3 - 34–66% = 4 - 67–100% = 5
Quickscore:0 8
Quickscore : What should be the cut off?
Harvey JM et al. J Clin Oncol. 1999 May;17(5):1474-81.
Quickscore in ER, PR IHC
Score 0 : no response to endocrine treatment
Score 2 - 3 : 20% response to endocrine treatment
Score 4 - 6 : 50% response to endocrine treatment
Score 7 - 8 : 75% response to endocrine treatment
But many labs use the 10% cut off rule!
HER2/neu Immunohistochemistry
What is known about HER2 and response to Trastuzumab?
Guido Sauter et al
J Clin Oncol 29. 2009 by American Society of Clinical Oncology
Mass R et al. Clinical Breast Cancer 6:240-246, 2005
HER2 gene amplication detected by In Situ Hybridization is superior to HER2 protein overexpression detected by IHC in predicting
Response to Trastuzumab.
Does HER2 over- expression defined by IHC predict response to Trastuzumab?
YES! If not false-positive
Poor fixation
Artifact Antigen retrievaltechniques
Inexperienceinterpreter
Correlation between HER2 FISH and IHC
FISH result IHC score
0 1+ 2+ 3+ Total
Amplified 4.5% 3.27% 8.6% 83.6% 244 cases
Not amplified 49.5% 23.74% 17.22% 9.53% 598 cases

How about HER2 statusand response to Tamoxifen?
De Laurentiis M et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2005 Jul 1;11(13):4741-8
HER2 overexpression is correlated with resistance to Tamoxifen in metastastic breast cancers
ER, PR IHC tests are no longer important in metastatic setting
Does HER2 overexpression predict resistanceto Tamoxifen in early breast cancers?
Controversial studies: no conclusion yet
Should we trust all these
studies?
Should we trust all these
studies?
Why don’t we conduct studies
on our own population?
