- BACKGROUND: Our aim was to use quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) and RNA expression profiles (RNA-EPs) to investigate HER2 status in relation to outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cut-off levels for Q-PCR and RNA-EP were established in relation to immunohistochemistry (IHC) validated by FISH in a test set of frozen tissue samples from 40 primary breast cancers. The HER2 status was subsequently studied in another validation set of 306 tumors, where Q-PCR and RNA-EP results were compared with previously carried out IHC that we had validated by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). RESULTS: Q-PCR and RNA-EP offered similar sensitivity (90% versus 77%), specificity (93% versus 95%), and negative (99% versus 98%) and positive (63% versus 61%) predictive values for HER2 determinations. Analyses of relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival on the basis of 5 and 10 years of follow-up indicated equivalent hazard ratios for all three techniques. In contrast to IHC/CISH, both Q-PCR and RNA-EP analyses of HER2 also gave statistically significant results regarding RFS and breast cancer-corrected survival after 10 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: The use of RNA-EP and Q-PCR to analyze HER2 in frozen and formalin-fixed breast cancer samples may be an alternate approach to IHC in combination with FISH/CISH.

- Purpose: To evaluate the risk of needle track seeding or tumor cell implantation as the cause of locally recurrent breast cancer after breast conserving surgery. Material and Methods: We reviewed recurrences from a consecutive series of 303 clinically nonpalpable breast cancers treated with breast conserving surgery after pre-operative localization. The median mammographic follow-up was 5.4 years. The suspicion of seeding or implantation was based on the location of the recurrent lesion in comparison with the needle path in two orthogonal mammographic projections. Pre-operative percutaneous biopsies had been done in 71% (214/303) of the cases. Postoperative radiotherapy was administered to 82% (194/238) of the invasive cancers and to 28% (18/65) of the ductal cancers in situ (DCIS). Results: Locally recurrent cancer occurred in 11% (33/303) of the cases. Radiotherapy demonstrated a protective effect from relapse among invasive cancers but not for DCIS. Seeding or implantation was suspected in 3 recurrent invasive cancers which had not been subject to radiotherapy. The histopathological diagnosis of the primary cancer and the recurrent cancer were the same in these cases: adenoid cystic, mucinous and tubuloductal cancer. Conclusion: Seeding or implantation was suspected as the cause of local recurrence in 7% (3/44) of the invasive cancers which did not receive radiotherapy.
