Patient Care Episode: Diagnosis
• Surgical pathology report: • Invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3
• Defined as a poorly differentiated tumor composed of solid nests of neoplastic cells without evidence of gland formation3
• Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC): ER (less than 1%) negative, PR (less than 1%) negative, HER2 negative
• Referred to UNC Breast Multidisciplinary Conference• Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Pathology
specialists meet in the interdisciplinary care approach to patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer
• Next steps: genetics consult, oncology consult, systemic staging with CT and bone scan, echocardiogram, and port placement
![Page 15: RADY401 Case Presentation Elizabeth Neylan June 2019msrads.web.unc.edu/...Cancer-NEYLAN-Final-06.20.19.pdf · •Surgical pathology report: •Invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3 •Defined](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081402/5f1690b22940fc2fdc1293de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Patient Care Episode: Treatment• No clear, proven effective single agent that targets a defining vulnerability in
triple-negative breast cancer2
• Per Genetics consult, pursuing testing of the hereditary breast cancer genes: BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2• Positive result may change management and provide important information to at-risk
relatives• Negative result is reassuring, but does not eliminate the increased risk of breast
cancer for immediate female relatives
• Given triple negative status, endocrine therapies and anti-HER2 drugs are not an option
• General approaches do exist• If metastatic disease palliative chemotherapy• If no metastatic disease neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, then radiation
• Dose-dense chemotherapy with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide followed by weekly paclitaxel

Discussion: Radiologic Workup of a Palpable Breast Mass
• Thorough breast examination, then radiologic imaging
• Diagnostic Mammography:• Sensitivity 87% and specificity 88% in detecting cancer
• PPV 22%
• Ultrasound: detects cystic and solid masses, guide biopsy technique• Sensitivity 89% and specificity 78% for abnormalities in symptomatic women
(Klein, 2005)

Discussion: Radiologic Workup of a Palpable Breast Mass
• Thorough breast examination, then radiologic imaging

Discussion: Radiologic Workup of a Palpable Breast Mass
• FNA: fast, inexpensive, accurate• Can detect solid vs. cystic masses
• May disrupt cyst wall
• But obtaining adequate samples can be tricky
• Core-needle biopsy (as in this case): histologic diagnosis, hormone receptor testing, differentiates between in situ and invasive disease• Produces larger tissue sample for pathology
• Sensitivity 99% in diagnosing malignancy in palpable lesions and 93% in nonpalpable
• Insufficient specimens is quite rare
• Higher PPV and overall cost benefit
(Klein, 2005)

Discussion: Immunohistochemistry and Hormone Receptors
• Recent increased emphasis on IHC and genetic profile of breast tumors
• Three molecular biomarkers used in routine clinical management of patients with IBC• Estrogen Receptor (ER)
• Progesterone Receptor (PR)
• Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER2)
• ER, PR, HER2 are targets and/or indicators of highly effective therapies• ER+ and PR+ respond to hormone therapies
• HER+ respond to therapies that specifically target the HERb protein
![Page 20: RADY401 Case Presentation Elizabeth Neylan June 2019msrads.web.unc.edu/...Cancer-NEYLAN-Final-06.20.19.pdf · •Surgical pathology report: •Invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3 •Defined](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081402/5f1690b22940fc2fdc1293de/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Discussion: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
• Our patient: ER (less than 1%) negative, PR (less than 1%) negative, HER2 negative
• Typically more aggressively and higher grade
• 15% of breast cancers worldwide
• Higher risk of relapse
• More commonly in women younger than 40 years
• Risk factors include:• Positive BRCA mutation• African American• Premenopausal status
![Page 21: RADY401 Case Presentation Elizabeth Neylan June 2019msrads.web.unc.edu/...Cancer-NEYLAN-Final-06.20.19.pdf · •Surgical pathology report: •Invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3 •Defined](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081402/5f1690b22940fc2fdc1293de/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Take Home Points
• Work-up for a breast mass (as in this case):1. Physical exam: dominant, palpable breast mass
2. Ultrasonography to visualize solid mass
3. Diagnostic Mammography (ex. compression images)
4. Ultrasound guided core-needle biopsy
• TNBC: typically females <40 years, less prevalent, more aggressive, higher grade
• No proven effective single agent available that targets triple-negative breast cancer
