Abstract
Abstract
Background: The semi-dry dot-blot (SDB) method is a diagnostic procedure for detecting lymph node (LN) metastases. Metastases are confirmed by the presence of cytokeratin (CK) in lavage fluid of sectioned LNs that contain anti-pancytokeratin antibody, based on the theory that epithelial components such as CK are not found in normal LNs. We evaluated two novel SDB kits that use the newly developed anti-CK19 antibody for diagnosing LN metastases in breast cancer.
Methods: We obtained 159 LNs dissected from 93 breast cancer patients from July 2013 to December 2015 at Nagasaki University Hospital, including 38 dissected axillary LNs and 121 sentinel LNs, sliced at 2-mm intervals and washed with phosphate-buffered saline. The suspended cells in the lavage fluid of sliced LNs were centrifuged and lysed to extract protein. This extracted protein was used with a low-power and a high-power kit to diagnose LN metastasis. The washed LNs were blindly diagnosed by pathologists using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. Diagnoses based on the kit were compared with their H&E counterparts.
Results: Of the 159 LNs, 68 were assessed as positive and 91 as negative by permanent pathological examination with H&E. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the low-power kit for detecting LN metastases was 83.8%, 100%, and 93.1%, respectively. In 11 false-negative cases, there were nine micrometastases, producing a sensitivity of 96.4% for detecting macrometastases. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the high-power kit for detecting LN metastases was 92.6%, 92.3%, and 92.5%, respectively. Combining the low- and high-power kit results, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for distinguishing macrometastases from micrometastases was 94.5%, 95.2%, and 95.0%, respectively. Diagnosis was achieved in approximately 20 min using the kits, at a cost of less than 25 USD.
Conclusions: The kits in our study were accurate, quick, and cost-effective in diagnosing LN metastases without the loss of LN tissue. The kits' ability to distinguish macrometastases from micrometastases was excellent, which is important, clinically.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who progressed on trastuzumab (H)-based therapy, both continuing H beyond progression and switching to lapatinib (L) in combination with chemotherapy are valid options. However, it is unclear which strategy is more effective and how we can select a proper strategy in each patient.
Methods: We conducted an open label, multicenter, randomized phase II trial to comparatively evaluate efficacy and safety of H + capecitabine (X) (HX) or L + X (LX) in women with HER2-positive MBC who were previously treated with taxanes and progressed on H-containing regimens. Patients treated with more than two chemotherapy regimens for MBC were excluded. Those treated with pertuzumab and/or T-DM1 were allowed to enroll in this study. Patients with brain metastases were also included if they are asymptomatic. Patients received H (4mg/kg loading then 2mg/kg weekly or 8mg/kg loading then 6mg/kg every 3 weeks) and X (2500 mg/m2/day on days 1-14 every 3weeks) in HX arm and L (1250 mg/day) and X (2000 mg/m2/day on days 1-14 every 3weeks) in LX arm until progression or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), proportion of subjects progressing with brain metastases as site of first progression, and safety.We also assessed biomarkers in tumor tissues and circulating cell-free DNA.
Results: Between May 2011 and December 2014, 86 patients (43 in HX arm and 43 in LX arm) were enrolled in this study. Median age was 58 years (range 34-81), ECOG performance status was 0 (63%), 1 (35%), or 2 (2%), 63% had hormone receptor-positive disease, 15% had brain metastases, 56% had relapsed after primary surgery, and 23% had received adjuvant or neo-adjuvant trastuzumab. Median follow-up time was 44.6 months. Median PFS was 6.1 months in HX arm and 7.1 months in LX arm (hazard ratio 0.81 90% CI 0.55-1.21; p=0.39), median OS was 31.0 months in HX arm and not reached in LX arm (hazard ratio 0.58 95% CI 0.26-1.31; p=0.18), ORR was 40% in HX arm and 41% in LX arm (p=1.00), disease control rate was 73% in HX arm and 92% in LX arm (p=0.038), and proportion of subjects progressing with brain metastases as site of first progression was 5% in HX arm and 5% in LX arm. Grade 3-4 toxicities included hand-foot syndrome (21% in HX arm and 21% in LX arm) and diarrhea (9% in HX arm and 16% in LX arm). In subgroup analyses, PFS benefit in LX arm compared to HX arm was significantly larger among patients who had received previous systemic treatment for metastatic disease for less than 1 year (interaction p=0.007). Subgroup analyses by biomarkers will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusions: In women with HER2-positive MBC previously treated with trastuzumab and taxanes, lapatinib + capecitabine tended to yield better PFS and OS than trastuzumab beyond progression + capecitabine, although they were not statistically significant.Background: In patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who progressed on trastuzumab (H)-based therapy, both continuing H beyond progression and switching to lapatinib (L) in combination with chemotherapy are valid options.
