Abstract Purpose To assess potential disparities in guideline-concordant care delivery among women with early stage triple-negative and HER2-positive breast cancer treated with breast conserving therapy. Methods Women ≥40 years old diagnosed with pT2N0M0 triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer treated with primary surgery and axillary staging between 2012 and 2017 were identified using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). The primary outcome was receipt of adjuvant systemic therapy and radiation concordant with current guidelines. Multivariable log binomial regression was used to assess the prevalence of optimal therapy use across patient and cancer characteristics. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess 5-year overall survival. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression was used to compare the impact of optimal therapy on 5-year mortality. Results 11,785 women were included with 7,843 receiving optimal therapy. Receipt of optimal therapy decreased with age even after adjusting for comorbidities and cancer characteristics; other sociodemographic factors were not associated with differences in receipt of optimal therapy. Among patients who did not receive adjuvant systemic therapy, most were not offered the treatment (49%) or refused (40%). Overall 5-year survival was higher among women who received optimal therapy (89% [95% CI 88.0-89.3] vs. 66% [95% CI 62.9-68.5]). Patients who received suboptimal therapy were over twice as likely to die within 5-years of their diagnosis (adjusted HR 2.44, 95% CI 2.12-2.82). Conclusion Age is the primary determinant of the likelihood of a woman to receive optimal adjuvant therapies in high-risk early stage breast cancer. Patients who did not receive optimal therapy had significantly diminished survival.

579 Background: The standard management of early stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive (+) breast cancer (BC) involves neoadjuvant therapy with combination of chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy followed by surgery. However, diverse pathologic responses were observed. We interrogated whether baseline genomic heterogeneity contributes to the varied therapeutic responses. Methods: Capture-based targeted sequencing using a panel consisting of 520 cancer-related genes, spanning 1.6MB of human genome, was performed on tissue biopsy samples, obtained prior to neoadjuvant therapy, of 33 HER2+ women with stage I-III BC. The median age of the cohort was 53. The correlation between genomic alterations and pathologic response were analyzed by multivariate analysis. Results: A majority of them was diagnosed with stage II (67%, 22/33), while 30% (10/33) had stage III and 3% (1/33) had stage I disease. 58% (19/33) were HR+ and 42% (14/33) were HR-. Mutation profiling of baseline samples revealed 349 mutations spanning 145 genes, with TP53, CDK12 and PIK3CA being the top 3 most frequently mutated genes. Neoadjuvant regimen was comprised of trastuzumab and HER2 inhibitor (i.e. pertuzumab or lapatinib). 15 patients used single HER2 inhibitor;18 used dual HER2 inhibitors. Endocrine therapy was also administered to HR+ patients (19/33) in combination with trastuzumab and HER2 inhibitor. Complete pathologic response (pCR) was observed in 45.5% (15/33) of patients. Interestingly, ROS1 copy number amplifications (CANs) were only identified in patients achieved pCR (p = 0.033). In contrast, missense mutations in PIK3CA and CNAs in CCND1, FGF19, FGF3, FGF4, SPOP, HNF1B and BRIP1 showed a trend of being less likely to mutate in pCR patients (p values between 0.05-0.1). Previous reports have suggested that pCR rates in HER2+ patients are associated with HR status. However, our data revealed comparable pathologic response of patients based on either HR status or neoadjuvant regimen. Conclusions: Our data revealed a distinct mutational profile between patients achieved pCR vs patients did not. Further studies with a larger cohort are required to confirm these findings.
