Patterns of loss of heterozygosity in breast carcinoma during neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Abstract: Abstract. There is evidence indicating that resistance to some chemotherapy drugs is related to enhanced repair of DNA lesions. Microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozy-gosity (LOH) reflect genetic instability and are associated with specific DNA repair pathways. Despite the strong implication of genetic instability in breast cancer its association with chemotherapy is unknown. Thus, we analyzed microsatellite alterations with 12 markers in locally advanced breast carcinomas in relation to neoadju… Show more

“…Chinese nutritional herbs are widely used in the management of general health issues in women as well as an alternative treatment option for breast cancer (4)(5)(6)(7). Naturally occurring herbal preparations may exhibit an acceptable toxicity profile, and thus are likely to favorably interact with conventional endocrine therapy to reduce toxicity and enhance efficacy of pharmacological therapeutic agents.…”

“…Reduced expression of MLH1 following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for node‐positive breast cancer predicted for poor disease‐free survival (66), and in a study of sporadic invasive ductal carcinoma, it was associated with resistance to adjuvant cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil (CMF) (67). In general, loss of heterozygosity or microsatellite instability can contribute to tumor progression and may be associated with resistance to certain regimens such as epirubicin‐cyclophosphamide‐based chemotherapy (68).…”

“…For example, stroma adjacent to breast carcinomas from patients treated with chemotherapy showed increased and persistent LOH posttreatment, especially in those patients who were nonresponsive to treatment, suggesting that patients with stable stroma may be more likely to benefit from chemotherapy than those with unstable stroma (20). Likewise, stromal instability may have important ramifications for defining surgical margins: the presence of LOH on chromosome 3p in normal terminal ductal lobular units adjacent to earlystage breast carcinomas was associated with a 3.9-to 5.2-fold increased risk of recurrence (21).…”
