Incidence and Prognostic Values in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Low Expression Metastatic Breast Cancer in Southeast Asian Population: A 10-Year Retrospective Study.
Purpose: Breast cancer progression varies across molecular subtypes, and treatment options for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low expression tumors are limited compared with those of HER2 overexpression tumors. Comprehensive information regarding the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of metastatic HER2-low expression breast cancer in a Southeast Asian population is lacking.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze data from patients with de novo advanced breast cancer, including HER2 expression, tumor stage, and metastatic pattern. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and survival analyses, were used to compare HER2-low expression and HER2-negative groups.
Results: Of the 491 patients, 21.2% had HER2-low expression, 30% had HER2 overexpression, and 50% had HER2-negative expression. Among the hormone receptor (HR)-positive patients, 34% had HER2-low expression; in the triple-negative patients, the HER2-low incidence was 20.6%. No significant differences in clinical characteristics between HER2-low and HER2-negative groups were observed, except for more HR-positive patients in the HER2-low group. HER2-low patients had a longer overall survival (OS) than HER2-negative patients (43 v 23 months; hazard ratio, 0.7; P < .001), especially in HR-positive patients. After adjusting for HR status, HER2-low patients maintained improved outcomes. HR-positive HER2-low patients showed nonsignificant OS gains compared with HR-positive HER2-negative patients, regardless of first-line chemotherapy or endocrine therapy.
Conclusion: This study revealed the incidence and clinical outcomes of HER2-low expression in de novo advanced breast cancer, suggesting favorable outcomes, particularly in HR-positive breast cancer. These findings may inform personalized treatment strategies. Further research into the mechanisms and implications of HER2-low expression in breast cancer is required.
