Register today to hear these expert perspectives!
Statement of Need
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease that accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of breast cancer diagnoses and is characterized by the absence of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is more common in Black women and in women under the age of 40 (ACS, 2023). Compared with other subtypes of invasive breast cancer, TNBC has high rates of metastasis and a poor prognosis. Due to the lack of hormone and receptor targets, therapeutic options are limited, and prognostication and treatment selection are complicated by the heterogeneity of the disease (Yang et al, 2022). In this live webinar, Dr. Sara Tolaney, Chief of the Division of Breast Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Ira Bleiweiss, Chief of Breast Pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, will provide expert oncology and pathology perspectives on evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and adverse event management for patients with TNBC.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, oncology nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Evaluate receptor and expression status for prognostication and treatment selection in TNBC
Differentiate the pathological characteristics of the various types of TNBC

3. Learning Objectives
TNBC = triple-negative breast cancer.
Evaluate receptor and expression status for prognostication and treatment
selection in TNBC
Differentiate the pathological characteristics of the various types of TNBC
Select optimal therapy for TNBC based on shared goals, biomarker testing,
and clinical data on novel therapies
Discuss strategies for timely recognition and mitigation of adverse events
associated with novel TNBC therapies
5. Features of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
10%-15% of all breast cancers
Defined by immunohistochemistry
Lacks expression of ER and PR, and low or no expression of HER2
Affected patients more often younger (<40 years old), Black
May be associated with BRCA1 mutations and/or BRCA pathway
dysfunction
ER = estrogen receptor; PR = progesterone receptor; HER2 = human epidermal growth factor receptor 2.
ACS, 2023.
6. TNBC Has Poorer Prognosis Than Other BC Subtypes
BC = breast cancer.
Foulkes et al, 2010; Dent et al, 2007; Gaedcke et al, 2007; Nofech-Mozes et al, 2009.
High initial sensitivity to chemotherapy
However, there are high relapse rates and
higher likelihood of distant disease progression
More aggressive visceral disease (liver, lung)
Higher frequency of brain metastases
TNBC recurrence peaks within the first 3 years
after treatment
The likelihood of distant recurrences
postsurgery declines after 5 years
The mean time to distant recurrence is
approximately 2.4 years for TNBC compared
with 4.4 years for ER+ patients
Most deaths occur in the first 3-5 years
7. Testing Guidelines and Methods
for Hormone
(Estrogen/Progesterone)
Receptors and HER2:
a Pathologist’s View
8. What Is My Approach to Biomarker Testing?
bx = biopsy.
NCCN, 2023.
Major pro: allows direct visual assessment of tumor by pathologist
Currently: estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR) and HER2
assessed on every new invasive carcinoma (almost always core bx)
Test multiple primaries? No, unless they have different histologies
Test core bxs of lymph nodes? Yes, generally, but no guidelines
I assess likelihood of positive staining based on tumor type, grade, patient
age
My goal: maximize chance of a positive stain, overcome heterogeneity –
more likely for PR, less for ER, even less for HER2
Routine by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
9. What Is My Approach to Biomarker Testing? (cont.)
FISH = fluorescence in situ hybridization; chemorx = chemotherapy.
NCCN, 2023; Allison et al, 2020; Wolff et al, 2023.
Retest negative stains (ER, HER2) on surgical specimens
Repeat testing on residual invasive tumor after neoadjuvant chemorx
Current testing definition of triple-negative:
Negative ER: <1% invasive tumor cells staining
Negative PR: <1% invasive tumor cells staining
Negative HER2: 0 or 1+ (weak staining), or 2+ with negative in situ
hybridization (ISH) – note that a 2+ IHC result reflexively results in ISH
testing, usually FISH
Routine by IHC
10. But Things Are Rarely That Simple
ASCO/CAP = American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists; RT-PCR = reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
Hammond et al, 2010; Allison et al, 2020.
After numerous prior changes in guidelines:
2010 ASCO/CAP guidelines: ER/PR+ if >1% tumor cells any staining.
Meant to maximize antihormonal therapy, not missing patients
However: this created a subclass of borderline ER cases,
qualified for 21-gene testing, but 21-gene testing results often
ER– by RT-PCR, meaning ? Most of these patients behaved like
triple-negative
Currently, 2019 ASCO/CAP guidelines created a new category,
ER/PR low positive, if any intensity staining in 1%-10% of
invasive tumor
A Bit of ER/PR Guidelines History
11. Biomarker Testing: PD-L1
PD-L1 = programmed cell death ligand 1; met = metastasis.
NCCN, 2023; Marletta et al, 2022.
Non-bone distant metastatic triple-negative breast carcinoma:
IHC testing for PD-L1, using antibody 22C3
Complicated interpretive guidelines, difficult to interpret, subjective:
Staining of both tumor and inflammatory cells
Often extreme intratumoral heterogeneity – overcome by staining one
block from each available specimen: primary, lymph node met, distal
met. Note: not validated on bone mets or on cytology
Reflex Testing by IHC
12. What Are Caveats of Biomarker Testing?
Taqi et al, 2018; Allison et al, 2020.
Many factors can influence staining accuracy, including preanalytic:
Time until formalin fixation
Duration of formalin fixation
Thickness and quality of tissue
Decalcification method
Staining platform used
Interpretative:
Invasive tumor only – sometimes difficult
Semi quantitative % vs machine-read precise %
Experience of interpreting pathologist
Internal positive controls to assure valid test
IHC
13. What Should the Pathology Report Include?
Slide courtesy of Ira J Bleiweiss, MD.
For ER/PR, should clearly state:
Positive, low positive, or negative
% cells staining and average stain intensity (0-3+)
For HER2, should clearly state:
Positive, equivocal, or negative with stain intensity (0-3+)
Any ISH results: ratio of HER2 to normal control, average HER2 copy
#/cell
Presence or absence of adequate internal controls
All above followed by required explanatory paragraph

15. Pathology of TNBC
Bleiweiss, personal communication, 2023; Amin et al, 2017; Handa et al, 2015.
Important facts to be aware of:
1. ER status correlates strongly with nuclear grade of breast cancer, ie, little
to no nuclear variation (lack of pleomorphism) = ER+
2. Variability in nuclear size and shape tends to be ER–
3. Above depends also on age. Severe nuclear pleomorphism in older,
postmenopausal patients may be ER+, while same in younger patients
tends to be ER–
4. Since nuclear pleomorphism is a large determinant of grade, most triple-
negative breast cancer is poorly differentiated duct (with exceptions to
follow)

25. What Are Caveats in the Pathology Report?
Dx = diagnosis.
Images courtesy of Ira J. Bleiweiss, MD.
Min et al, 2013; Kim et al, 2011.
Be very wary if pathology report reads:
infiltrating well-differentiated duct carcinoma,
ER–/PR–/HER2–
Something is wrong – grade, staining, mixup,
or diagnosis
This core bx was called tubular carcinoma,
triple-negative that does not exist
Dx: microglandular adenosis
Rare but benign
26. What Are Caveats in the Pathology Report? (cont.)
Images courtesy of Ira J. Bleiweiss, MD.
Marrazzo et al, 2020; Pareja et al, 2019; Kaur et al, 2022.
Be very wary if pathology report reads:
mucinous carcinoma, ER–/PR–/HER2–
Something is wrong – grade, staining, mixup,
or diagnosis
Possible dx: invasive micropapillary and
mucinous carcinoma or (rare) mucinous
cystadenocarcinoma
Remember: triple-negative breast cancer
should be poorly diff with pleomorphic nuclei
27. What are the guideline-
recommended treatment
selection and sequencing
strategies for TNBC?
28. How Do BC Subtypes Compare for Survival?
Howlader et al, 2018; Bauer et al, 2007.

Efficacy Overview
67. Which ongoing investigations
with immunotherapies or
targeted therapies do you feel
have the greatest potential to
impact future practice in TNBC?
68. SG’s DLT is neutropenia, while DS-1062’s DLTs are maculopapular rash and
stomatitis/mucosal inflammation
DS-1062 has a substantially longer half-life than SG (≈5 days vs 11-14
hours), enabling a more optimal dosing regimen
DS-1062 has a drug-to-antibody ratio of 4 for optimized therapeutic index
Circulating free payload is negligible due to high stability of the linker,
thereby limiting systemic exposure or nontargeted delivery of the payload

106. Key Takeaways
Triple-negative breast cancers are generally poorly differentiated duct
carcinomas
Rare variants of triple-negative invasive breast carcinomas exist,
many of which have a good prognosis
A pathology report detailing a well differentiated breast carcinoma
which is triple-negative should raise a red flag as it likely incorrect and
deserves investigation
107. Key Takeaways (cont.)
Key biomarker information is needed to determine therapy
recommendations in TNBC:
PDL1, HER2-low, BRCAm, PALB2m, TMB, NTRK, MSI
First-line therapy with chemo + pembro is standard for PDL1+mTNBC
Will need to understand how to approach patients who recur after adjuvant
pembro
ADC + immunotherapy may become a new first-line standard
ADCs currently are the second-line standard
For HER2-low patients, slight preference for sacituzumab govitecan over TDXd
given robust phase 3 data
Sequencing ADCs is currently reasonable, but more data is needed
