Background: Recent analyses in HER2+ and triple negative (TN) breast cancer (BC) treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) suggest that extent of disease at presentation (tumor [T] size and nodal [N] involvement) influences outcomes independently of response to NAST, even in the context of pathologic complete response (pCR). Given this, we evaluated the association of clinical T and N status prior to NAST with long-term outcomes in I-SPY2. Methods: We identified patients (pts) with TN and HER2+ BC who received NAST on the I-SPY2 trial with available clinical T size and N status prior to NAST, pathologic response after NAST, and follow up for recurrence and survival. We conducted univariable and multivariable (MV) Cox proportional models for Event Free (EFS), Distant Recurrence Free (DRFS), and Overall Survival (OS) in TN and HER2+ BC according to response after NAST, adjusting for residual cancer burden (RCB) category. Results: Of 1,170 pts with TN or HER2+ BC, 1,013 were eligible (TN: 623 and HER2+: 390), after 157 pts were excluded due to missing critical variables. Median follow up was 4.4 years (range 0.3-10.2). Median age was 48 for TN and 49 for HER2+ BC. Following NAST, pCR was achieved in 277 (45%) pts with TN and 197 (51%) pts with HER2+ BC. Among pts with pCR, separate MV analyses for TN and HER2+ BC showed no independent association between clinical T and N category with EFS, DRFS or OS (p values all > 0.05). However, among pts with residual disease, clinical T category (but not clinical N status) prior to NAST retained independent prognostic information in both TN and HER2+ BC in a MV model adjusting for age, RCB class, and hormone receptor status (for HER2+ BC). Compared to cT1-2, cT3-4 stage at diagnosis was associated with worse EFS, DRFS, and OS in TNBC, and with worse EFS, DRFS (but not OS) in HER2+ BC (Table). Additionally, hormone receptor status was independently associated with outcomes in HER2+ BC with residual disease (data not shown). The 5y EFS for cT1-2 vs cT3-4 according to RCB class in TNBC were: RCB0: 94% vs 95%, RCB1: 90% vs 65%, RCB2: 74% vs 44% and RCB3: 45% vs 20%. The 5y EFS for cT1-2 vs cT3-4 according to RCB class in HER2+ were: RCB0: 95% vs 88%, RCB1: 89% vs 84%, RCB2: 85% vs 64% and RCB3: 56% vs 50%. Conclusions: Tumor size (but not N involvement) prior to NAST was independently associated with outcomes in TN and HER2+ BC with residual disease, independently of RCB class. TN and HER2+ BC achieving pCR exhibited favorable outcomes regardless of extent of disease prior to NAST. These data are consistent with prior findings of the Neobioscore contributing only in the context of residual disease. Clinical trial information: NCT01042379.
