| Abstract (english) | Luminal B breast cancer (LBBC) represents an aggressive, high-grade ER+ disease, associated with a high proliferation rate of tumor cells, higher mutation burden and higher probability of eliciting the immune response. Clinical and pathological data from 89 patients of stage II-III, triple-negative(TN) and luminal B-like BC(LB-like BC) were included in the analysis. All patients were submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of TILs was performed on tissue microarrays constructed from pretreatment core-needle biopsy tumor specimens. The proportion of stromal TILs, CD8, CD4 and PD-L1 positive(+) immune cells (IC), as well as the number of FOXP3, CTLA4 and HSP-70+IC was observed concerning tumor immunophenotype, traditional clinicopathological prognostic factors and tumor response to NACT. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of stromal TILs between LB-like and TNBC (P=0.344) cohorts. However, a higher CD4/CD8 ratio was associated with the TNBC biology (P=0.018) and within the LB-like BC cohort with high proliferation index and metastatic nodal involvement (P=0.045, P=0.015). Within the LB-like BC cohort, a higher expression of PD-L1 and HSP70+IC was associated with high proliferation index of tumor cells (P=0.018, P=0.040), massive metastatic nodal involvement (P=0.002, P=0.026) and higher stages of disease (P=0.004, P=0.042). Better response to NACT was associated with higher number of HSP70+IC and a higher proportion of CD8+ cells within LB-like BC cohort (P=0.045, P=0.012). Routine evaluation of immune markers and HSP70 may help identify high-risk patients of LB-like breast cancer who would have a better response to NACT. |
