METHODS: Specimens with CEP17 CNA (n = 310) were selected from 3048 tumor samples that were received from January 2013 to June 2015 for testing with the alternative chromosome 17 probe D17S122. Reclassification of HER2 status was assessed using the 2007 and 2013 ASCO/CAP guidelines.
RESULTS: The alternative chromosome 17 probe reclassified 82 of 310 (26.5%) and 87 of 310 (28.1%) tumors using the 2007 and 2013 guidelines, respectively. Of the 41 of 310 tumors (13.2%) that were reclassified from nonamplified to amplified according to 2007 guidelines, 28 of 41 (68.3%) had an average HER2 copy number ≥4.0 and <6.0. The 39 of 310 tumors (12.6%) that were reclassified from equivocal to amplified according to 2013 guidelines had a mean HER2 copy number between ≥4.0 and <6.0. Most of these patients had stage I, hormone receptor-positive, lymph node-negative tumors, which is an unusual clinicopathologic profile for HER2-amplified tumors, and most received HER2-targeted therapy in addition to endocrine therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Reflex testing with an alternative chromosome 17 probe using the 2013 ASCO/CAP guidelines reclassified 28.1% of tumor samples that had CEP17 CNA, converting nearly one-half from equivocal to amplified. The benefit of HER2-targeted therapy in this patient population requires further study. Cancer 2017;123:2230-2239. © 2017 American Cancer Society.
方法:从2013年1月至2015年6月接收的3048个肿瘤样品中选择具有CEP17CNA(n=310)的样本,用于使用替代染色体17探针D17S122进行测试。使用2007年和2013年ASCO/CAP指南评估HER2状态的重新分类。
结果:使用2007年和2013年指南,替代染色体17探针对310个肿瘤中的82个(26.5%)和310个肿瘤中的87个(28.1%)进行了重新分类,分别。在根据2007年指南从非扩增到扩增的310个肿瘤中的41个(13.2%),41个中的28个(68.3%)具有平均HER2拷贝数≥4.0和<6.0。根据2013年指南,从模棱两可重新分类到扩增的310个肿瘤中有39个(12.6%)的平均HER2拷贝数在≥4.0和<6.0之间。这些病人大部分都是I期,激素受体阳性,淋巴结阴性肿瘤,这是HER2扩增肿瘤的不寻常的临床病理特征,除内分泌治疗外,大多数患者还接受了HER2靶向治疗.
结论:使用2013年ASCO/CAP指南使用替代的17号染色体探针进行的反射测试对28.1%的CEP17CNA肿瘤样本进行了重新分类,将近一半从模棱两可转变为放大。HER2靶向治疗在该患者人群中的益处需要进一步研究。癌症2017;123:2230-2239。©2017美国癌症协会。
