Abstract
Apocrine carcinoma is a rare breast cancer subtype. As such, the genomic characteristics of apocrine carcinoma with triple negative immunohistochemical results (TNAC), which has been treated as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), have not been revealed. In this study, we evaluated the genomic characteristics of TNAC compared to TNBC with low Ki-67 (LK-TNBC). In the genetic analysis of 73 TNACs and 32 LK-TNBCs, the most frequently mutated driver gene in TNAC was TP53 (16/56, 28.6%), followed by PIK3CA (9/56, 16.1%), ZNF717 (8/56, 14.3%), and PIK3R1 (6/56, 10.71%). Mutational signature analysis showed enrichment of defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-related signatures (SBS6 and SBS21) and the SBS5 signature in TNAC, whereas an APOBEC activity-associated mutational signature (SBS13) was more prominent in LK-TNBC (Student's t test, p < 0.05). In intrinsic subtyping, 38.4% of TNACs were classified as luminal A, 27.4% as luminal B, 26.0% as HER2-enriched (HER2-E), 2.7% as basal, and 5.5% as normal-like. The basal subtype was the most dominant subtype (43.8%) in LK-TNBC (p < 0.001), followed by luminal B (21.9%), HER2-E (21.9%), and luminal A (12.5%). In the survival analysis, TNAC had a five-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of 92.2% compared to 59.1% for LK-TNBC (P = 0.001) and a five-year overall survival (OS) rate of 95.3% compared to 74.6% for LK-TNBC (P = 0.0099). TNAC has different genetic characteristics and better survival outcomes than LK-TNBC. In particular, normal-like and luminal A subtypes in TNAC have much better DFS and OS than other intrinsic subtypes. Our findings are expected to impact medical practice for patients diagnosed with TNAC.
