AI Article Synopsis

  • Intrinsic breast cancer molecular subtyping (IBCMS) is important for predicting outcomes and guiding treatment in breast cancer patients.
  • This study evaluated various IBCMS methods and gene-expression platforms in two clinical trials (PALOMA-2 and PALLET) and found differing levels of agreement in molecular subtype assignments.
  • The results emphasize the need for standardized approaches in IBCMS to avoid potential misguidance in treatment decisions.

Article Abstract

Intrinsic breast cancer molecular subtyping (IBCMS) provides significant prognostic information for patients with breast cancer and helps determine treatment. This study compared IBCMS methods on various gene-expression platforms in PALOMA-2 and PALLET trials. PALOMA-2 tumor samples were profiled using EdgeSeq and nanostring and subtyped with AIMS, PAM50, and research-use-only (ruo)Prosigna. PALLET tumor biopsies were profiled using mRNA sequencing and subtyped with AIMS and PAM50. In PALOMA-2 (n = 222), a 54% agreement was observed between results from AIMS and gold-standard ruoProsigna, with AIMS assigning 67% basal-like to HER2-enriched. In PALLET (n = 224), a 69% agreement was observed between results from PAM50 and AIMS. Different IBCMS methods may lead to different results and could misguide treatment selection; hence, a standardized clinical PAM50 assay and computational approach should be used.Trial number: NCT01740427.
