Take-home messages
• Intrinsic biology (Luminal A and B, HER2-enriched and Basal-like)
captures the vast majority of the biological diversity in breast cancer.
• However, current IHC-based definitions of intrinsic subtypes are
suboptimal and the gold-standard is, in my opinion, PAM50.
• The assay is reproducible across labs and works in FFPE core biopsies
(i.e. primary tumors and metastatic tissues).
• Intrinsic subtyping and ROR, together with tumor size and nodal status,
can help identify patients:
• That do not need adjuvant polychemotherapy due to their low risk
of relapsing distantly (<10% at 10 years).
• That do not need adjuvant endocrine therapy beyond 5 years due
to their low risk of relapsing between period years 5-10 (<5% at 10
years).
• In HR+/HER2-negative disease, intrinsic subtyping at diagnosis before
neoadjuvant therapy or in first-line metastatic setting, can help decide
whether to begin with endocrine therapy or chemotherapy.
• In metastatic TNBC, distinguishing Basal-like vs. not can help predict
benefit from docetaxel vs. carboplatin.
