Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) plays a crucial role in the management of invasive breast cancer with no special type (IBC-NST), with the immune system's response to cancer heavily relying on the dynamics between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and cancer cells. In this study, the differential effects of anthracycline-based NAC on stromal and intratumoral foxhead box P3 (FOXP3+) TILs expressions were specifically examined.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 32 IBC-NST samples were evaluated for pre- and post-NAC FOXP3+ TIL expression as well as the changes of FOXP3+ TIL expression. Comprehensive data collection regarding subjects' age, tumor size, grade, lymphovascular invasion, regional lymph node metastasis, and receptor status were conducted. Immunohistochemistry was utilized to quantify FOXP3+ TILs. The stromal, intratumoral and total FOXP3+ TILs expression were then analyzed.RESULTS: Significant reductions in FOXP3+ TIL expression post-NAC were observed, with stromal FOXP3+ TILs showing a median decrease of 3.6 units in subjetcs aged ≥50 years (p=0.013) and a median decrease of 13.2 units in subjects with tumors ≥5 cm after NAC (p=0.006). In contrast, intratumoral FOXP3+ TILs remained relatively stable, with minor changes. The total FOXP3+ TIL expression, combining stromal and intratumoral components, was significantly decreased with a median of 13.0 units decreased to 5.3 units (p<0.001).CONCLUSION: This study highlights the significant reduction in stromal FOXP3+ TIL expression after NAC treatment in IBC-NST subjects, in contrast to the relatively stable intratumoral FOXP3+ TILs. Understanding these differences may guide future therapeutic strategies and improve treatment outcomes for IBC-NST.KEYWORDS: biomarkers, chemotherapy, FOXP3, prognostic, response, lymphocyte

Abstract

Background Malignancies of ampulla of vater and pancreas are often difficult to distinguish. Malignancies in ampulla of vater include malignancies in major duodenal papilla, distal common bile duct and pancreatic duct opening (Wirsung). The origin of the primary tumor, histopathological diagnosis and staging play a role in therapy and prognosis. WHO Classification of tumors of the digestive system, 2019 made changes in tumor staging following the system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), 8th edition. This study was conducted to determine types of pancreatic and ampullary malignancies, demographic distribution, location, profile, histomorphology and tumor staging changes in the 7th edition of the AJCC to 8th edition of the AJCC in the WHO Classification of tumors of the digestive system, 2019. The aim to determine clinicopathological profile of malignancies of ampulla of vater and pancreas as well as tumor staging changes based on AJCC edition 8. Methods Observational descriptive study on pancreatic and ampulla vater malignancy resection preparations at Department of Anatomic Pathology FKUI/RSCM, period January 2015 to December 2019 that met the inclusion criteria. Demographic evaluation, tumor location, histopathological profile and patient staging changes were carried out based on the 8th edition of AJCC. Results There were 27 cases of adenocarcinoma in ampulla of vater, 10 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case of mucinous cystic neoplasm with adenocarcinoma focus, 1 case of serous cystadenocarcinoma, 7 cases of PanNET, 2 cases of PanNEC, 3 cases of SPN, 1 case of MiNEN. Changes in pT were present in 29 cases. Changes in pN were present in 6 cases. Conclusion The diagnosis and pathological staging are in accordance with the 2019 WHO digestive system tumor classification. Tumor differentiation, presence or absence of lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion and lymph node metastases and incision margin status are important histopathological parameters.
