Purpose To evaluate the combination of docetaxel, vinorelbine, and trastuzumab as neoadjuvant therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) –overexpressing breast cancer. Patients and Methods Patients with stage IIB or III breast cancer, including inflammatory disease, and HER2 overexpression (determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization) were treated with six cycles of docetaxel 60 mg/m2 and vinorelbine 45 mg/m2 administered every 14 days with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and quinolone prophylaxis. Trastuzumab was administered as a 4 mg/kg loading dose followed by 2 mg/kg weekly for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy end point was pathologic complete response (pCR) in the breast. Results Of 31 enrolled patients, 68% had T3 or T4 tumors and 90% were clinically node positive. Twelve patients (39%; 95% CI, 21.6% to 55.9%) achieved pCR in the breast and lymph nodes and 14 patients (45%; 95% CI, 27.6% to 62.7%) achieved pCR in the breast alone, and 19 patients (61%; 95% CI, 44.1% to 78.4%) were node negative after neoadjuvant therapy. Clinical response was documented in 29 patients (94%; 95% CI, 78.6% to 99.2%) with 26 complete responses (84%; 95% CI, 70.9% to 96.8%). The most commonly reported grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (97%), febrile neutropenia (22%), anemia (6%), mucositis/stomatitis (6%), constipation (6%), and skin rash (6%). Conclusion With clinical response and pCR rates of 94% and 39%, respectively, docetaxel, vinorelbine, and trastuzumab is a highly active neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-overexpressing locally advanced breast cancer. Although well tolerated overall, significant febrile neutropenia was observed despite prophylactic measures; therefore, evaluating a similar regimen using lower docetaxel and/or vinorelbine doses is warranted.

5085 Background: Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) is a member of the cold shock protein family and functions in transcription and translation. Many reports indicate that YB-1 is highly expressed in tumor cells and is a marker of tumor aggressiveness and clinical prognosis. Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been associated with poor outcomes in cervical cancer (CC). Clinical trials have shown that EGFR inhibitors are effective against CC (JCO 2011). Nuclear YB-1 expression correlates with EGFR expression in various types of cancer. Methods: Nuclear YB-1 expression was immunohistochemically analyzed in tissue specimens obtained from 204 CC patients who underwent surgery. Associations of nuclear YB-1 expression with clinicopathological factors such as survival and EGFR (HER1 and HER2) expression were investigated. Results: Nuclear YB-1 expression was observed in 41 (20%) of 204 cases and correlated with stage, tumor diameter, stromal invasion, and lymph-node metastasis. Nuclear YB-1 expression also correlated with both HER1 expression (p=0.0114) and HER2 expression (p=0.0053). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that nuclear YB-1 expression was significantly associated with poor outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (p=0.0033) and overall survival (p=0.0003). On multivariate analysis, stromal invasion, parametrial invasion, and nuclear YB-1 expression were independent predictors of survival. Conclusions: Nuclear YB-1 expression is a prognostic marker and correlates with EGFR expression in CC.
