Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Extent of the genomic alterations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at tumor suppressor gene (TSG) loci was quite different among subtypes in the primary breast cancer. Low-grade hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2 negative subtype has significantly less genomic alterations and LOH at TSG loci compared with other subtypes. HER2 type and triple negative (TN) type have extensive genomic and chromosomal alterations and LOH. In these subtypes, cytotoxic chemotherapy is often used. Some tumors with high genomic alterations are sensitive to chemotherapy, thus genomic abnormalities are not always associated with poor prognosis in HER2 and TN subtypes. On the other hand, in HR-positive/HER2 negative subtype, high genomic alterations are significantly associated with poor prognosis. It suggests that tumors with high genomic alterations are probably resistant to endocrine treatment, which may lead to unfavorable outcomes.
