BRCA Mutation Association with Recurrence Score and Discordance in a Large Oncotype Database.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay is a 21-gene assay used to predict the likelihood of distant recurrence and the benefit of chemotherapy in patients with node-negative, tamoxifen-treated breast cancer. Prior studies demonstrated 7-19% discordance, or a difference between the recurrence score (RS) and tumor grade (TG) in breast cancer patients. BRCA mutated tumors (BRCA+) have been shown to be associated with higher RS as compared to BRCA-negative patients (BRCA-). OBJECTIVES:We developed a large Oncotype RS database to determine if the BRCA mutation status is associated with discordance. METHODS:We identified 723 patients (32 [4%] mutation-positive and 691 [96%] mutation-negative patients) with early-stage, hormone-positive breast cancer treated between 2006 and 2018, with tumor characteristics available for analysis. Discordance was defined as one- or two-step difference between RS (low, intermediate, high risk) and TG (well [WD], moderately [MD], and poorly [PD] differentiated). Mutation positive was defined as BRCA1 deleterious mutation, BRCA2 deleterious mutation, BRCA mutation of unknown type, BRCA variant of undetermined significance (VUS) or other mutation (classified as other VUS). Number (%) or median were used to describe patient characteristics between groups and were compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS:Among these patients, there were 32 (4% of total) who were identified as mutation-positive. Of those patients, 16% had a documented deleterious mutation in BRCA1, 22% in BRCA2, 6% had a BRCA mutation of unknown type (either 1 or 2), 25% were BRCA VUS, and 31% other VUS (most commonly CHEK2 and ATM). The median RS was 23.5 in patients with deleterious BRCA mutations (1, 2 or unknown) versus 16 in patients in the BRCA-negative database, which was statistically significant (p < 0.01). One- and two-step discordance was present in 46 and 8%, respectively, of patients with deleterious BRCA mutations versus 53 and 11%, respectively, in the BRCA-negative database. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with deleterious BRCA mutations demonstrated no difference in rates of discordance as compared to BRCA-negative patients. We further demonstrated that patients with BRCA-positive tumors display higher RS than patients with BRCA-negative tumors.
