New Advances in Molecular Breast Cancer Pathology

Emad A. Rakha et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is a diverse disease with varying behaviors and responses to therapy, challenging traditional prognostic and predictive systems. Advances in high-throughput molecular techniques have improved understanding of breast cancer biology and led to the development of novel molecular assays for diagnosis and treatment. Incorporating these tests into clinical practice remains a challenge, but ongoing research may identify new therapeutic targets and improve classification systems.

Quantitative Whole Slide Assessment of Tumor-Infiltrating CD8-Positive Lymphocytes in ER-Positive Breast Cancer in Relation to Clinical Outcome

Danielle Krijgsman et al.

Summary: In order to support therapy selection in oncology, a reliable and reproducible quantification of immune infiltrate within tumor microenvironments is needed. The automated method presented in this study allows for whole-slide image analysis of tumor-infiltrating CD8-positive lymphocytes, showing highly heterogeneous spatial density distributions in post-menopausal, estrogen receptor-positive invasive breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. Statistically significant correlation with clinical outcome was found for the standard deviation of the CD8 density distribution, suggesting potential clinical relevance for larger cohort studies.

Retrospective observational study of HER2 immunohistochemistry in borderline breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, with an emphasis on Group 2 (HER2/CEP17 ratio ≥2.0, HER2 copy number <4.0 signals/cell) cases

Emad A. Rakha et al.

Summary: The ASCO/CAP guidance on HER2 testing in breast cancer has changed recently, leading to the re-classification of Group 2 tumors with specific characteristics. This study examined the response of Group 2 tumors to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results showed a higher pCR rate in Group 2 compared to combined Groups 4 + 5, indicating the need for further evaluation of HER2 Group 2 carcinomas for targeted therapy eligibility.
