ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Approximately 5% of breast cancers each year are diagnosed in young women < 40 years who tend to have worse clinical outcomes. We compared genomic alterations using comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of tumor tissue among very young women (< 30 years) and young women (30-39 years) compared to women ≥ 40 years at diagnosis. METHODS: 2049 advanced breast cancer cases were submitted to Foundation Medicine within a 22-month window for CGP. Hybrid-capture based CGP was performed to evaluate all classes of genomic alterations. Tumor mutational burden was determined on at least 0.8 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability was determined on at least 95 loci. Immunocyte PD-L1 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Of the total cases, 28 (1.37%) were < 30 years, 159 (7.76%) were 30-39 years, and 1862 (90.87%) were ≥ 40 at time of diagnosis. Breast tumors were less likely to be estrogen receptor positive in younger women (54% of < 30 years, p > 0.05; 60% of 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 69.4% of ≥ 40 years) and more likely to be triple negative (43%, p = 0.05; 33%, p = 0.05; 26.1% respectively). Young women had higher rates of BRCA1 mutations (17.9% <30 years, p < 0.001; 10.1% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 2.6% ≥40 years), but lower rates of CDH1 (7.1% <30 years, p > 0.05; 5.0% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 15.4% ≥40 years) and PIK3CA mutations (17.9% <30 years, p = 0.02; 17.6% 30-39 years, p < 0.001; 40.0% ≥40 years). CONCLUSION: Our findings contribute to the growing literature demonstrating unique genetic profiles among young women diagnosed with breast cancer, compared to older women.
