Abstract 19P

Background

Breast cancer-associated microbiome and its role in treatment efficacy are poorly understood. We aimed to study tumor-associated microbiome composition in TNBC, its dynamics upon NACT, and its correlation with TNBC outcomes.

Methods

Diagnostic biopsies and surgery samples from patients with TNBC treated with NACT were selected. A 16S rRNA subunit gene analysis was performed to describe α-diversity with Shannon Index and study taxonomic profiles at genus levels. To control for differences related to the type of sample we also analyzed diagnostic biopsies and surgical samples from patients that had surgery without NACT.

Results

We analyzed 115 TNBC samples from: i) Diagnostic biopsies (n=87) from patients with either subsequent NACT (n=48, mean age 57) or upfront surgery (n=39, mean age 78); ii) Surgery samples (n=28) from patients with prior NACT (n=14, all unpaired; mean age 47) or upfront surgery (n=14, all paired with diagnostic biopsies; mean age 85). α-diversity was significantly lower in post-treatment surgery samples (mean 1.5) compared to pretreatment biopsy samples (mean 1.19, p=0.027), with a significant reduction of Prevotella abudance (p<0.001). Abundance of Blautia and Kocuria were significantly higher among patients that did not achieve pCR (padj <0.001). In patients with NACT, increased microbiome α-diversity at baseline correlated to worse Event-Free Survival (HR 6.45, 95% CI 1.20 – 34.56) and Overall Survival. Abundance of Prevotella and Eubacterium at baseline, significantly correlated negative to OS and EFS and abundance of Lactobacillus was significantly higher among patients with relapse (p=0.004). Among the paired biopsy-surgery samples, biopsies correlated to an increased number of genera (p=0.026), but Shannon Index analysis did not yield significant differences.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that in TNBC, NACT has a significant impact in microbiome composition and some genera are correlated to outcomes. The type of sample (biopsy / surgical) must be taken into account in breast cancer-associated microbiome studies. This work provides the rationale for expanding microbiome analysis in order to find novel putative biomarkers of response to neoadjuvant therapy in early TNBC.
