Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibody-dependent-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is one of the modes of action for trastuzumab. Recent data have suggested that fragment C γ receptor (FcγR) polymorphisms have an effect on ADCC. This prospective phase II trial aimed to evaluate whether these polymorphisms are associated with clinical efficacies in patients who received trastuzumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients in a neoadjuvant (N) setting received Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide followed by weekly paclitaxel/trastuzumab. Patients in a metastatic (M) setting received single trastuzumab until progression. In total, 384 distinct single nucleotide polymorphisms of different FcγR, HER2, and fucosyltransferase loci were assessed. RESULTS Fifteen operable and 35 metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients were enrolled in each of the N and M settings, respectively. The FcγR2A-131 H/H genotype was significantly correlated with the pathologically documented response (pathological response) (P = 0.015) and the objective response (P = 0.043). The FcγR3A-158 V/V genotype was not correlated with the pathological response, but exhibited a tendency to be correlated with the objective response. Patients with the FcγR2A-131 H/H genotype had significantly longer progression-free survival in the M setting (P = 0.034). CONCLUSION The FcγR2A-131 H/H polymorphism predicted the pathological response to trastuzumab-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in early-stage breast cancer, and the objective response to trastuzumab in metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The carbohydrate chains represented by mucins (MUCs) are expressed by a variety of normal and malignant secretory epithelial cells and induce a variety of immunoreactions. Tn and sialyl Tn antigens are tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens which are borne on the core proteins of mucins. The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS . We examined the expression of Tn and sialyl Tn antigens in synovial tissues from RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients by immunohistochemistry. In addition, mucins from synovial fluid (SF) from RA patients are purified by gel filtration and density gradient ultracentrifugation and the existence of these antigens examined by dot and Western blotting. RESULTS We found that Tn and sialyl Tn antigens were strongly expressed in synovial cells and infiltrating mononuclear cells on the sublining layer and lymphoid follicles in synovial tissues in RA compared with those in osteoarthritis. Tn and sialyl Tn antigens were detected in purified mucins of SF from RA patients. CONCLUSIONS Tumour-like synovial hyperplasia cells expressed Tn and sialyl Tn antigens. This finding suggests that the mucins exhibiting with abnormal glycosylation may be in part responsible for synovial hyperplasia, leading to the joint destruction in the pathogenesis of RA.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: The assessment of surgical margins is important in breast conserving surgery (BCS). In BCS, we usually resect additional specimens after the diagnosis of positive margin by intraoperative frozen-section examinations (IFE). However, we often experience the patients who received additional resections after positive results by IFE but no tumors were detected in the permanent sections. If we can predict the absence of residual tumor components from IFE, it may be possible to avoid additional mastectomy. In the present study, we tried to identify histological characteristics of margin-exposed tumor components on IFE as predictive factors for the residual tumor components in the additionally resected specimens. Methods: 1,835 cases underwent BCS between October 1999 and July 2008 at the National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. By the review of the pathological database, we chose patients who had positive surgical margins determined by IFE and had undergone immediate additional resection. Two observers (MK, HT) reviewed the slides of frozen sections and confirmed the presence of tumor components. Results: 220 cases (12%) were eligible for this study. Within the specimens of additional resection, residual tumors existed in 114 cases (51.8%) and no tumors existed in 106 cases (48.2%). As characteristics of the primary tumors, invasive lobular carcinoma, pT3, EIC(+) and lymphatic invasion were significantly associated with the residual tumor components. As characteristics of margin-exposed tumor components on IFE, the number of positive margins, their maximum diameter and histological type were correlated with the residual tumors. The rate of detection of the residual tumors was significantly higher in the group with multiple positive margins (50/72, 69%) than in the group with a single positive margin (64/148, 43%) (p=0.0003). The residual tumors were detected in 36.5% (38/104), 60.8% (62/102), and 100% (14/14) of the groups with <6 mm, ≥6 to <20 mm, and ≥20 mm of the maximum diameter of the exposed tumor components, respectively (p=0.0005). Although there was no significant relationship in the rate between the group with exposed noninvasive components and that with exposed invasive components, the residual tumor components were detected more frequently in the group with exposed lobular carcinoma components (20/29, 69%) than in the group with exposed ductal carcinoma components (94/191, 49%) (p=0.047). By a multivariate analysis, the number of positive margins and the maximum diameter were independent risk factors of the residual tumors. Conclusion: The diagnosis of positive margins by IFE was useful for the prediction of residual tumors, and three histological properties of margin-exposed tumor components were correlated with the absence of residual tumor components. It may be possible to consider stratification of additional surgical therapy according to the characteristics of margin-exposed tumor components on IFE.

Abstract
e11535 Background: Locally ablative therapy of early breast cancer represents the next frontier in the evolution of minimally invasive breast conservative therapy. We performed this Phase II trial to determine the efficacy and safety of Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of small localized invasive breast carcinomas as a multicenter study in Japan. Methods: Thirty-nine patients with core-biopsy proven invasive breast cancer, T<2 cm in diameter on ultrasound and MRI were enrolled in this trial. Under ultrasound guidance, the tumor and at least a 5mm margin of surrounding breast tissue were ablated with saline- cooled RF electrode followed by surgical resection. Pathologic and immunohistochemical stains were preformed to assess tumor viability. Results: Thirty-seven patients completed the treatment. The mean tumor size on ultrasound was 1.50 cm. The mean ablation time was 12 minutes using mean power of 80.0 watts. During ablation, the tumor became progressively echogenic that correspond with the region of sever electrocautery injury at pathologic examination. Of the 37 treated patients, H&E and NADPH viability staining was available for 27 patients and in 25 (92.5%), there was no evidence of viable cancer cells. H&E and or ssDNA staining were available for another 10 patients. In total, complete thermal injury to the target lesions was recognized in 33 of 37 treated patients (89.2%). No sever adverse effect on the skin and chest wall were noted. Conclusions: RF ablation is a promising minimally invasive treatment of small breast carcinomas, as it can achieve effective cell killing with a low complication rate. We are planning a multicenter observation study for RF ablation of small breast carcinomas. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract #6090
Background: It has been said that the high incidence of breast cancer within family lines could be investigated efficiently from genetic and environmental aspects. There could be a strong enough relationship between various carcinogenic factors and these family members. In this study, we examined the clinical and pathological characteristics of breast cancer among patients with a family history.
 Patients and Methods: We put the definition of 'Positive for a family history (FH+)' for patients who had one or more members within three generations apart from the proband. Patients with family history of breast cancer were selected out of 10506 patients who were treated in our hospital between 1962 and 2007.
 Results: There were 1272 cases in FH+ and 9234 cases in 'Negative for a family history (FH-)' group. Distribution within the family line showed the highest percentage for sisters at 37%, aunts at 25% and a mother at 25%. The family history positive breast cancer patients were around 5% in 1960-1970 although the number increased up to 18% in 2007. There was similar increasing pattern in Europe and America. The survival rate had no significant difference between FH+ and FH- statistically, but the trend was toward a better prognosis in FH+ cases. There was no relationship between family history and body mass index (BMI). The outbreak of contralateral breast cancer of FH+ was significantly higher than FH-. FH+ patients had significantly higher prevalence of a mastopathy compare to FH- patients. As for the history of other cancer species, the FH+ breast cancer patients within first generation apart from the proband had significantly higher chances compared to FH- patients.Conclusion: The breast cancer patients with family history require more detail examinations especially for the development of contralateral breast cancer. Also carcinomatous examinations are important other than breast cancer to those patients who are in the first generation apart from the proband.

Abstract #5121
Purpose: It is said that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis. However, many study shows TNBC has better response to chemotherapy. Since neoadjuvant chemotherapy plays an important role to TNBC, we compared clinical and pathological response rate and prognosis between TNBC and non-TNBC.
 Patients and methods: This analysis retrospectively collected 2563 breast cancer patients for StageI-III who underwent surgery between January 2000 and September 2004 (median: 3.9 years) at National Cancer Center, Tokyo, Japan. We defined TNBC as Estorpgen and progesterone receptor negative and HER2 score 0-2+ by immnohistological report. There were 91 TNBC patients (23.1%) out of 400 patients (15.6%) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical and pathological response rate and Four-year progression free survival were compared between TNBC and non-TNBC.
 Results: There were 91 TNBC patients (23.1%). TNBC patients compared with non-TNBC had tendency to achieve cCR (91% vs 78%; p=.058) although TNBC had higher rate for cPD (6.6% vs 1.7%; p <.0001). Also TNBC tended to have higher pathological CR rate of which we classified pCR only for grade 3 cases, compared to non-TNBC (13.1% vs 7.2%; p= .042 ). Interestingly HER2 overexpression type also had higher rate for pCR. As for pPD rate, TNBC had similar rate compared to non-TNBC (5.5% v 4.3%). Four-year progression free- survival rate was higher for non-TNBC. However, TNBC had higher Four-year survival free rate only when pCR were achieved after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (99% vs 82%; p=.02).
 Conclusion: Patients with TNBC tend to have clinical and pathological response of either CR or PD. Although non-TNBC had better prognosis by four-year survival free rate, TNBC could have better prognosis if neoadjuvant chemotherapy resulted in pCR. There may be some way to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and prognosis by analyzing the shrink pattern.

Abstract
11086 Background: Primary systemic therapy (PST) is standard therapy for patients with locally advanced breast cancer and increasingly used for early-stage operable disease. Clinical and pathologic responses are important prognostic parameters and clinicopathological markers to predict response to PST are needed to individualize treatment. Methods: From 1998 to 2005, 403 primary breast cancer patients were underwent curative surgical treatment after PST (Anthlacycline and/or Taxane) at NCCH. We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathological features (age, histological type, histological grade, ER, PgR and HER-2) and classification of tumors using CT (localized tumor type and diffused tumor type) at before PST and analyzed the correlation with clinical response and pathological complete response (pCR). The log-rank statistic was used for univariate comparisons and multivariate analysis performed using Cox hazard model. Results: Overall response and pCR rate were 87% and 18%. Breast conserving surgery was performed 37% patients. Histological grade 3 (p<0.0001), ER negative (p<0.0001), PgR negative (p<0.0001), solid-tubular type (p=0.0006), age (>50) (p=0.008) and localized tumor type (p=0.02) correlated with pCR. In multivariate analysis, Histological grade 3 (p=0.01) and localized tumor type (p=0.036) were independent predictors for pCR. ER positive, histological grade 2 or 1, invasive lobular carcinoma and diffuse tumor type associated with low chemosensitivity and low breast conserving surgery rate. Conclusions: Clinical and pathological response significantly associated with ER status and histological grade. Furthermore the classification of tumor type using CT was effective to predict of response to PST. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Methotrexate (MTX) is most widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, it has certain drawbacks with regard to individual differences in its therapeutic effects as well as the differences in the patients' response to MTX therapy. We investigated whether multi-drug resistance-1 (ABCB1) C3435T, reduced folate carrier-1 (RFC1) G80A, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase (ATIC) C347G and a 6bp-deletion polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region of the thymidylase synthase (TYMS) gene are predictive of MTX sensitivity and its adverse effects. METHODS Patients whose last maintenance dosage of MTX was <or= 6 mg/week were regarded as responders, while patients whose last maintenance dosage of MTX was > 6 mg/week or those in whom MTX therapy was changed due to poor response to MTX were regarded as non-responders. The data of 124 RA patients who had received MTX treatment were retrospectively analyzed for polymorphisms in the ABCB1, RFC1, ATIC and TYMS genes, MTX sensitivity and MTX toxicity. RESULTS There were no significant differences in MTX sensitivity among the genotypes of RFC1, ATIC and TYMS genes. ABCB1 3435TT cases included statistically significantly more non-responders than 3435CC cases according to univariate analysis (crude odds ratio (OR) = 8.91, p = 0.001) and multivariate analysis (adjusted OR = 8.78, p = 0.038). There were no significant differences in MTX toxicity among the genotypes of all the genes. CONCLUSION These results suggested that the genetic diagnosis of ABCB1 C3435T can be applied to determine MTX sensitivity for the treatment of RA patients. However, further pharmacokinetics studies are required in this regard.

Abstract
We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0-->K+pi(-) with 253 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider. Using 275x10(6) BB pairs we observe a B-->K+/-pi(-/+) signal with 2140+/-53 events. The measured CP violating asymmetry is A(CP)(K+pi(-))=-0.101+/-0.025(stat)+/-0.005(syst), corresponding to a significance of 3.9sigma including systematics. We also search for CP violation in the decays B+-->K+pi(0) and B+-->pi(+)pi(0). The measured CP violating asymmetries are A(CP)(K+pi(0))=0.04+/-0.05(stat)+/-0.02(syst) and A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))=-0.02+/-0.10(stat)+/-0.01(syst), corresponding to the intervals -0.05<A(CP)(K+pi(0))<0.13 and -0.18<A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))<0.14 at 90% confidence level.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the charmless hyperonic B decay, B0-->pLambda(pi)(-), using a 78 fb(-1) data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The measured branching fraction is B(B0-->pLambda(pi)(-))=(3.97(+1.00)(-0.80)+/-0.56)x10(-6). Searches for B0-->pLambda(K)- and pSigma(0)pi(-) yield no significant signals and we set 90% confidence-level upper limits of B(B0-->pLambda(K)-)<8.2x10(-7) and B(B0-->pSigma(0)pi(-))<3.8x10(-6).

Abstract
We report on a search for B(0)-->D(*0)K(*0) decays based on 85 x 10(6) BB events collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. The B(0)-->D0K(0) and B(0)-->D0K(*0) decays have been observed for the first time with the branching fractions B(B(0)-->D0K(0))=(5.0(+1.3)(-1.2)+/-0.6)x10(-5) and B(B(0)-->D0K(*0))=(4.8(+1.1)(-1.0)+/-0.5)x10(-5). No significant signal has been found for the B(0)-->D(*0)K*0) and B(0)-->D(*0)K(*0) decay modes, and upper limits at 90% C.L. are presented.

Abstract
We report the measurement of the charmed baryonic decay B(0)-->Lambda(+)(c)p with a branching fraction of (2.19(+0.56)(-0.49)+/-0.32+/-0.57)x10(-5) and a statistical significance of 5.8 sigma. The errors are statistical, systematic, and the error of the Lambda(+)(c)-->pK(-)pi(+) decay branching fraction. This is the first observation of a two-body baryonic B decay. The analysis is based on 78.2 fb(-1) of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider.

Abstract
We report measurements of branching fractions for charged and neutral B-->eta(c)K decays where the eta(c) meson is reconstructed in the K(0)(S)K+/-pi(-/+), K+K-pi(0), K(*0)K-pi(+), and pp; decay channels. The neutral B0 channel is a CP eigenstate and can be used to measure the CP violation parameter sin(2phi(1). We also report the first observation of the B0-->eta(c)K(*0) mode. The results are based on an analysis of 29.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the branching fraction for the inclusive decay B-->X(s)l(+)l(-), where l is either an electron or a muon, and X(s) is a hadronic recoil system that contains an s quark. We analyzed a data sample of 65.4 x 10(6) B meson pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) asymmetric-energy collider. We find B(B-->X(s)l(+)l(-))=[6.1 +/-1.4(stat) +1.4-1.1(syst)] x 10(-6) for dilepton masses greater than 0.2 GeV/c(2).

Abstract
We report the first observation of a B meson decay that is not accessible by a direct spectator process. The channel B(0)-->D(+)(s)K- is found in a sample of 85 x 10(6) BB; events, collected with the Belle detector at KEKB, with a branching fraction B(B(0)-->D(+)(s)K-)=(4.6(+1.2)(-1.1)+/-1.3) x 10(-5). We also obtain evidence for the B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-) decay with branching fraction B(B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-))=(2.4(+1.0)(-0.8)+/-0.7) x 10(-5). This value may be used to extract a model-dependent value of |V(ub)|.

Abstract
We report observations of radiative B meson decays into the K+pi(-)gamma and K+pi(-)pi(+)gamma final states. In the B0-->K+pi(-)gamma channel, we present evidence for decays via an intermediate tensor meson state with a branching fraction of B(B0-->K(*)(2)(1430)(0)gamma)=[1.3+/-0.5(stat)+/-0.1(syst)]x10(-5). We measure the branching fraction B(B+-->K+pi(-)pi(+)gamma)=[2.4+/-0.5(stat) +0.4-0.2(syst)]x10(-5), in which the B+-->K(*0)pi(+)gamma and B+-->K+rho(0)gamma channels dominate. The analysis is based on a data set of 29.4 fb(-1) recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider.

Abstract
The B meson decay modes B-->Dpp; and B-->D(*)pp; have been studied using 29.4 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. The B;(0)-->D(0)pp; and B;(0)-->D(*0)pp; decays have been observed for the first time with branching fractions B(B;(0)-->D(0)pp;)=(1.18+/-0.15+/-0.16)x10(-4) and B(B;(0)-->D(*0)pp;)=(1.20(+0.33)(-0.29)+/-0.21)x10(-4). No signal has been found for the B+-->D(+)pp; and B+-->D(*+)pp; decay modes, and the corresponding upper limits at 90% C.L. are presented.

Abstract
We report the observation of prompt J/psi via double cc; production from the e+e- continuum. In this process one cc; pair fragments into a J/psi meson while the remaining pair either produces a charmonium state or fragments into open charm. Both cases have been experimentally observed. We find cross sections of sigma[e+e- -->J/psieta(c)(gamma)]xB(eta(c)-->>or=4 charged)=(0.033(+0.007)(-0.006)+/-0.009) pb and sigma(e+e- -->J/psiD(*+)X)=(0.53(+0.19)(-0.15)+/-0.14) pb and infer sigma(e+e- -->J/psicc;)/sigma(e+e- -->J/psiX)=0.59(+0.15)(-0.13)+/-0.12. These results are obtained from a 46.2 fb(-1) data sample collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the decay B(0)-->D(+/-)D(*-/+) with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) Collider operated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. The sum of branching fractions B(B(0)-->D(+)D(*-))+B(B(0)-->D(-)D(*+)) is measured to be (1.17+/-0.26(+0.22)(-0.25))x10(-3) using the full reconstruction method where both charmed mesons from B0 decays are reconstructed. A consistent value [(1.48+/-0.38(+0.28)(-0.31))x10(-3)] is obtained using a partial reconstruction technique that uses only the slow pion from the D(*-)-->D(-0)pi(-) decay and a fully reconstructed D(+) to reconstruct the B(0).
