Basically for the pathologist, the missions did not change….

• What is it, is benign, at risk or malignant?

• If it is at risk, which follow up ?

• If it is malignant, is it aggressive or “quiet”?

• How do I treat?

• Did I remove everything ?

To try to answer to 5 major questions

TNM parameters:

• Pros – Treatment decisions are

based on T size

– Node involvement is a major prognosis factor

– Micrometastasis can be detected in sentinel lymph node by IHC

• Cons– TNM is decreasing

because of mass screening (69%of T1 in France in 2015)

– 70% of N0 in France in 2015

– SLN: axillary dissection is debatable in case of Nano/micromets

Clarification of the AJCC 7th edition

Staging multiple tumors• If in same breast:

– T category is based on single largest tumor focus

– Don’t include satellite foci when measuring tumor size

– If multiple foci of microinvasion, report the # of foci and the size of the largest focus (don’t combine)

– Use (m) modifier

• If bilateral: – Stage each side separately

Clarification of the AJCC 7th edition in the 8th edition

• Correlate gross, microscopic and imaging findings to assign correct pT when necessary.

- For small tumors diagnosed by core biopsy, measuring only the residual tumor in the excision may result in understaging. • Example:

– 6 mm mass by imaging; largest focus in biopsy core – 4 mm – 2 mm focus of residual carcinoma in excision: categorize as

pT1b (not pT1a) – No residual cancer in excision: categorize as pT1a (not pTX)

• Same rule applies when tumor is present in multiple fragments: Use clinical and imaging findings to assign pT

• pTX should rarely be used 5t

Group 3 - Average prognosis:Medullary, classical lobular, lobular mixed

Group 1 - Excellent prognosis: Tubular, invasive cribriform, mucinous

Group 2 - Good prognosis:Tubular mixed, mixed ductal NST and special type like adenoid cystic, secretory

Group 4 - Poor prognosisDuctal NST, solid lobular, mixed ductal NST and lobular, micropapillary

Key Recommendations: Pathologists

• Should ensure that any specimen used for HER2 testing (cytological specimens, needle biopsies, or resection specimens) begins the fixation process quickly (time to fixative within 1 hour) and is fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 6 to72 hours, and that routine processing, as well as staining or probing are done according to standardized analytically validated protocols

• Should ensure that the laboratory conforms to standards set for CAP accreditation, or an equivalent accreditation authority, including initial test validation, ongoing internal quality assurance, ongoing external proficiency testing, and routine periodic performance monitoring.

• Grade 1, ER+++, PgR+++, HER2+

• Grade 3, ER-, ki67 <5%

• Grade 3 ER+++, PgR+++

• Medulary carcinoma (carcinoma with lymphocyticinfiltrate) is extremely rare (ask for a second opinion)

Redo HER2 on surgical specimen if grade 3, ER- or ER+

Is it a breast cancer?

• Metastasis to the breast are rare 0,2 à 1,3

• Most frequent– Lymphoma

– Melanoma

– Carcinoma (lung, GYN, kidney, digestive tract, prostate …..)

– Neuroendocrine non mammary tumors

• First clinical sign of the disease in 30% of cases

• Metastasis can occur after 10 yrs (up to 22 yrs) (melanoma, ovary…).

Is it a breast cancer?

• Clinical presentation large nodules, growing fast, welldemarcated sometimes they are supercial.

• Can mimmick benign lesions (ACR3)

• Frequently unique

• beware of triple negative lesions with an unusual presentation (mucinous for instance)

• beware of ER+ with papillary aspects and psammomas

• ER+, HER2- EBC: Luminal A and B subtypes predict 10-

year outcome regardless of previous systemic treatment as

well as residual risk of distant recurrence after 5 years of

endocrine therapy.

• HER2+: the 4 main intrinsic subtypes can be found

• HER2+/HER2-enriched benefit the most from

neoadjuvant trastuzumab, or dual HER2 blockade with

trastuzumab/lapatinib, in combination with CT

• HER2+/Luminal A disease have a relative better

outcome compared to the other subtypes.
