- Copy number alterations associated with clinical features in an underrepresented population with breast cancer(2019) RODRIGUES-PERES, Raquel M.; CARVALHO, Benilton S.; ANURAG, Meenakshi; LEI, Jonathan T.; CONZ, Livia; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; CARDOSO FILHO, Cassio; RAMALHO, Susana O. B.; PAIVA, Geisilene R. de; DERCHAIN, Sophie F. M.; LOPES-CENDES, Iscia; ELLIS, Matthew J.; SARIAN, Luis O. Z.Background As the most incident tumor among women worldwide, breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Tremendous efforts have been made to understand how tumor characteristics as histological type, molecular subtype, and tumor microenvironment collectively influence disease diagnosis to treatment, which impact outcomes. Differences between populations and environmental and cultural factors have impacts on the origin and evolution of the disease, as well as the therapeutic challenges that arise due to these factors. We, then, compared copy number variations (CNVs) in mucinous and nonmucinous luminal breast tumors from a Brazilian cohort to investigate major CNV imbalances in mucinous tumors versus non-mucinous luminal tumors, taking into account their clinical and pathological features. Methods 48 breast tumor samples and 48 matched control blood samples from Brazilian women were assessed for CNVs by chromosome microarray. Logistic regression and random forest models were used in order to assess CNVs in chromosomal regions from tumors. Results CNVs that were identified in chromosomes 1, 5, 8, 17, 19, and 21 classify tumors according to their histological type, ethnicity, disease stage, and familial history. Conclusion Copy number alterations described in this study provide a better understanding of the landscape of genomic aberrations in mucinous breast cancers that are associated with clinical features.

- Implications of ESR1 Mutations in Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer(2018) REINERT, Tomas; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; BINES, JoseEndocrine treatment resistance eventually develops during adjuvant and even more often during hormonal treatment for advanced breast cancer (ABC). An ESR1 gene mutation, which encodes for the estrogen receptor (ER) protein, is one of the potential mechanisms of therapy resistance. The ESR1 mutations result in conformational changes in the ER leading to subsequent estrogen-independent transcriptional activity. These mutations are found at a lower level in early stage when compared to metastatic BC, more often through selective pressure after aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment. Recent studies have explored the role of ESR1 mutations as potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers and showed that ESR1 mutations are likely associated with a more aggressive disease. However, definitive associations with outcome in order to make a specific treatment recommendation are yet to be found. The development of targeted therapy directed to ESR1-mutated clones is an appealing concept, and preclinical and clinical works are in progress. ESR1 mutations represent an exciting field with a rapidly increasing number of recent publications that will likely advance the knowledge of treatment resistance mechanisms and pave the way into more individualized patient endocrine treatment.
- Papillomas of the breast: factors associated with underestimation(2018) BOUFELLI, Gabriela; GIANNOTTI, Marcelo A.; RUIZ, Carlos A.; BARROS, Nestor de; CHALA, Luciano E.; MAESAKA, Jonathan Y.; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; BRESCIANI, Barbara H.; VIANNA, Paula; SOARES JR., Jose. M.; BARACAT, Edmund C.; FILASSI, Jose. R.The distinction between benign and malignant papilloma of the breast through percutaneous needle biopsy can be difficult because of limited samples; the underestimation rate can be up to 25%. The aim of this study is to identify clinical and histological factors associated with underestimation, invasive ductal carcinoma, or ductal in-situ carcinoma (DCIS) of the breast found in surgical specimens from papillary lesions. This may contribute toward selection of patients for a follow-up strategy without the need for surgical excision. From a database of 3563 patients, we identified 85 with intraductal papilloma between 2007 and 2013 who had undergone breast-imaging studies, percutaneous needle biopsy, and surgical resection of the lesion. Central papillomas normally present with a palpable mass, whereas peripheral papillomas generally do not have clinical manifestations (microcalcifications); both central and peripheral papillomas were related to atypical lesions, 13.5 and 15.4%, respectively. Among the 59 cases of central papillomas, there were four cases of underestimation, three DCIS and one invasive ductal carcinoma (6.8%). Among the 26 cases of peripheral papillomas, there was one case of DCIS (3.8%), with a total underestimation rate of 5.8%; all underestimated lesions measured more than 1cm. The median size was 11mm at mammography and 19mm at ultrasound. Our data suggest that lesions less than 1cm in size, without atypia and concordant imaging and clinical findings, may not require surgical resection.
- Effects of preoperative magnetic resonance image on survival rates and surgical planning in breast cancer conservative surgery: randomized controlled trial (BREAST-MRI trial)(2023) MOTA, Bruna Salani; REIS, Yedda Nunes; BARROS, Nestor de; CARDOSO, Natalia Pereira; MOTA, Rosa Maria Salani; SHIMIZU, Carlos; TUCUNDUVA, Tatiana Cardoso de Mello; FERREIRA, Vera Christina Camargo de Siqueira; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; DORIA, Maira Teixeira; RICCI, Marcos Desiderio; TRINCONI, Angela Francisca; CAMARGO, Cristina Pires; RIERA, Rachel; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; JR, Jose Maria Soares; FILASSI, Jose RobertoBackgroundBreast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has high sensitivity in detecting invasive neoplasms. Controversy remains about its impact on the preoperative staging of breast cancer surgery. This study evaluated survival and surgical outcomes of preoperative MRI in conservative breast cancer surgery.MethodsA phase III, randomized, open-label, single-center trial including female breast cancer participants, stage 0-III disease, and eligible for breast-conserving surgery. We compared the role of including MRI in preoperative evaluation versus radiologic exam routine with mammography and ultrasound in breast cancer conservative candidates. The primary outcome was local relapse-free survival (LRFS), and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), mastectomy rate, and reoperation rate.Results524 were randomized to preoperative MRI group (n = 257) or control group (n = 267). The survival analysis showed a 5.9-years LRFS of 99.2% in MRI group versus 98.9% in control group (HR = 0.72; 95% CI 0.12-4.28; p = 0.7) and an OS of 95.3% in the MRI group versus 96.3% in the control group (HR = 1.37 95% CI 0.59-3.19; p = 0.8). Surgical management changed in 21 ipsilateral breasts in the MRI group; 21 (8.3%) had mastectomies versus one in the control group. No difference was found in reoperation rates, 22 (8.7%) in the MRI group versus 23 (8.7%) in the control group (RR = 1.002; 95% CI 0.57-1.75; p = 0.85).ConclusionPreoperative MRI increased the mastectomy rates by 8%. The use of preoperative MRI did not influence local relapse-free survival, overall survival, or reoperation rates.
- Locally advanced breast cancer: breast-conserving surgery and other factors linked to overall survival after neoadjuvant treatment(2023) NOBREGA, Gabriela Bezerra; MOTA, Bruna Salani; FREITAS, Gabriela Boufelli de; MAESAKA, Jonathan Yugo; MOTA, Rosa Maria Salani; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; TRINCONI, Angela Francisca; RICCI, Marcos Desiderio; PIATO, Jose Roberto; SOARES-JR, Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; FILASSI, Jose RobertoBackground Recent data suggest that breast-conserving surgery (BCS) may positively impact overall survival (OS) in early breast cancer. However, the role of BCS in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) following neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) remains uncertain.Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 530 LABC patients who underwent surgery after NAT between 2010 and 2015. Outcomes examined included OS, distant recurrence rates (DRR), and loco-regional recurrence rates (LRRs).Results Among the 927 breast cancer patients who received NAT, 530 were eligible for our study. Of these, 24.6% underwent BCS, while 75.4% underwent mastectomy (MS). The median follow-up duration was 79 months. BCS patients exhibited a higher pathological complete response (PCR) rate compared to those who underwent MS (22.3% vs. 10%, p < 0.001). The 6-year OS rates for BCS and MS were 81.5% and 62%, respectively (p < 0.000). In multivariate OS analysis, MS was associated with worse outcomes (OR 1.678; 95% CI 1.069-2.635; p = 0.024), as was body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.031; 95% CI 1.006-1.058; p = 0.017), and stage IIIB or IIIC (OR 2.450; 95% CI 1.561-3.846; p < 0.000). Conversely, PCR (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.220-0.801; p = 0.008) was associated with improved survival. DRR was significantly lower in BCS (15.4%) compared to MS (36.8%) (OR 0.298; 95% CI 0.177-0.504). LRRs were comparable between BCS (9.2%) and MS (9.5%) (OR 0.693; 95% CI 0.347-1.383).Conclusion Our findings suggest that BCS is oncologically safe, even for patients with large lesions, and is associated with superior OS rates compared to MS. Additionally, lower BMI, lower pretreatment stage, and achieving PCR were associated with improved survival outcomes.
bookPart Quimioterapia adjuvante(2019) COSTA, Fabiano de Almeida; GONçALVES, Rodrigo; TESTA, Laura- MRI to Predict Nipple Involvement in Breast Cancer Patients(2016) PIATO, Jose Roberto Morales; ANDRADE, Roberta Dantas Jales Alves de; CHALA, Luciano Fernandes; BARROS, Nestor de; MANO, Max Senna; MELITTO, Alexandre Santos; GONCALVES, Rodrigo; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose Maria; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; FILASSI, Jose RobertoOBJECTIVE. The selection of breast cancer patients as candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is dependent on the preoperative detection of neoplastic involvement of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative breast MRI as a noninvasive method to predict neoplastic involvement of the nipple. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We included 165 female breast cancer patients with a surgical plan that included total mastectomy or breast conservation surgery with the removal of the NAC. All patients underwent MRI before surgery on a 1.5-T unit with a 4-channel in vivo dedicated surface breast coil. One radiologist who was blinded to the results of the histologic evaluations of the specimens evaluated the MRI studies. RESULTS. Of the 170 mastectomy specimens evaluated, 37 (21.8%) had neoplastic involvement of the NAC. The MRI findings of enhancement between the index lesion and the NAC and of nipple retraction were considered statistically significant predictors of nipple involvement in breast cancer patients (p < 0.01 and p = 0.01, respectively). The negative predictive value of the combination of these MRI findings was 83.3%. CONCLUSION. Breast MRI is a safe noninvasive method to preoperatively evaluate breast cancer patients eligible for NSM with a high specificity and a high negative predictive value when enhancement between the index lesion and the nipple and nipple retraction are analyzed.
