Abstract Background Women with benign breast disease (BBD) have an increased risk for breast cancer (BC). Almost 30% of all BCs develop in women with prior BBD. Information about the features of the expected BCs after BBD would enable individualized surveillance and prevention strategies for these women. We sought to characterize BCs developing in a large cohort of women with BBD. Methods Our cohort includes 13,485 women who underwent breast biopsy for mammographic or palpable concern between 1967-2001. Biopsy slides were reviewed and classified as nonproliferative (NP), proliferative disease without atypia (PDWA), or atypical hyperplasia (AH). BCs were identified by follow-up questionnaires, medical records, and Tumor Registry data. BC tissues were obtained and reviewed. Results With a median follow-up of 15.8 years, 1273 women developed BC. Most BCs were invasive (81%), among which 61% were ductal, 13% mixed ductal/lobular, and 14% lobular. Two thirds were intermediate or high-grade, and 29% were node positive. Cancer characteristics were similar across the three histologic categories of BBD, with similar frequency of DCIS and invasive disease, tumor size, time to invasive BC, histologic type of BC, nodal positivity and HER2 positivity. Women with AH had a higher frequency of ER+ BC (91%) vs women with PD (80%) or NP (85%), p=0.02. Conclusion A substantial proportion of all BCs develop in women with prior BBD. We show that the majority of BCs after BBD are invasive tumors of ductal type, with a substantial proportion node positive. 84% of cancers were ER-positive. Chemoprevention should be strongly encouraged in higher-risk women with BBD.

Abstract Background Activating mutations in PIK3CA occur in approximately 40% ER+BC. MK-2206 (M), a pan-AKT inhibitor, induced apoptosis of ER+ BC under estrogen deprivation in preclinical studies. We conducted this neoadjuvant trial to determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of M plus anastrozole (A) for PIK3CA mutant (Mut) ER+ BC. Methods This single arm open label study of M+A used a 2-stage Simon phase II design (stage 1, n=16; stage 2, n=13, alpha=0.10, power=0.90) to test whether pCR rate <1% (based on historical data with A alone), against the alternative that pCR rate ≥15% in PIK3CA Mut ER+ BC. At least 1 pCR in stage 1 was required to proceed to stage 2. Eligible patients (pts) with clinical stage II or III ER+HER2- BC were pre-registered and proceeded to a research tumor biopsy for PIK3CA sequencing, followed by treatment with daily A monotherapy for 28 days (cycle 0). Pts with PIK3CA Mut BC were subsequently registered, underwent a second biopsy, and started M (150mg PO weekly) with daily A on cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) for a maximum of four 28-day cycles followed by surgery. Goserelin was added for premenopausal pts. A tumor biopsy on C1D17, 17 days post the start of M, was performed. Those with C1D17 Ki67 >10% discontinued study treatment. pCR was defined as no invasive cancer in the breast and the lymph nodes. Tumor specimens collected at all timepoints are being analyzed for markers of proliferation, apoptosis, and PI3K pathway activity, gene expression microarray, intrinsic subtypes, and next generation sequencing of 83 genes. Results Of the 51 pts pre-registered, 35 pts did not register due to no PIK3CA mutation (n=22), inadequate specimen for testing (n=6), physician/pt decision (n=7). The remaining 16 pts (median age: 58, range: 40-77 years) received combination therapy. Three pts did not complete 4 cycles due to C1D17 Ki67 >10% (n=2) and intolerability (grade (Gr) 4 transaminase elevation in C1, n=1). Other severe toxicities possibly related to M included Gr 3 rash (25%) and pruritus (12.5%). Of the 13 pts completed study therapy and underwent surgery, all had residual disease in the breast and 7 also had positive nodes. Table 1 summarized changes in Ki67 during treatment.

Other correlative studies are ongoing and results will be presented. Conclusion Despite the small sample size, biomarker analysis on serial biopsy specimens demonstrated that M+A is unlikely to be more effective than A alone in PIK3CA Mut ER+ BC. This trial demonstrated the feasibility of genomic sequencing for pt selection and the value of a small, well-designed proof-of-principle neoadjuvant trial for the evaluation of targeted agents.
