    Abstract We investigate L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) expression in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-negative breast carcinomas. The finding of a potential correlation between high L1CAM expression and recurrent/metastatic disease in luminal A and B breast carcinomas may be helpful for risk stratification and open opportunities for targeted therapies. 304 cases comprising 152 cases of ER-positive, progesterone receptor (PR)-positive/negative, and HER2-negative recurrent/metastatic breast carcinomas and 152 nonrecurrent controls were included. ER, PR, HER-2, Ki-67 status, Nottingham grade, tumor size, tumor stage, number of foci, lymph node status, lymphovascular invasion, phenotype, laterality, age at diagnosis and first distant or local recurrence were recorded. L1CAM positive cases showed increased specificity for recurrence and these patients were significantly younger than L1CAM negative ones. Compared with L1CAM negative recurrent cases, L1CAM positive ones had a noticeably higher Ki-67, tended to be larger and recurred sooner. All L1CAM positive recurrent/metastatic cases were of the luminal B subtype compared with 67.3% of the L1CAM negative cases. L1CAM is highly specific for recurrence in a subset of breast cancer patients and may be associated with more aggressive behavior, particularly in luminal B breast cancers with higher Ki-67 expression. Further investigation about the prognostic value of L1CAM is warranted.

    Abstract Background: Spindle cell neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract constitute a wide group of lesions that may raise diagnostic difficulties on hematoxylin-eosin-stained slides. Appropriate endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) technique with sufficient cell block material for immunohistochemistry (IHC) can lead to accurate diagnosis.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of 29 cases obtained from our institution's records over a five-year period (2011-2015). Cytomorphology, histology (when available), IHC, FNA procedure details, imaging characteristics, and clinical history were reviewed. Rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) was used in all cases. Cytologic samples were correlated with surgical pathology resection specimens when available.
    Results: Eighteen GI stromal tumors, six leiomyomas, two schwannomas, and one granular cell tumor were analyzed; two cases were not amenable for a definitive diagnosis: one showed fragments of smooth muscle not otherwise specified (smooth muscle vs. leiomyoma) and the other one was insufficient for diagnosis. Locations included stomach, esophagus, duodenum, and colon. EUS-FNA was performed with different gauge needles. Total number of passes ranged between two and nine. We found no evidence that larger-sized needles are superior in procuring adequate lesional tissue. Cell block material was stained with various antibodies. Fourteen surgical resection specimens available showed 100% correlation between cytology and histology. None of the neoplasms recurred until now; one patient succumbed to known esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
    Conclusion: FNA is a pivotal and inexpensive method for rapid evaluation of GI spindle cell tumors and should be used widely in the attempt to avoid unnecessary surgery. Size of needle used for EUS-FNA does not seem to influence the yield of lesional tissue; rather, ROSE can guide the number of passes and subsequently lead to an adequate cell block.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an important prognostic and predictive biomarker in the breast cancer. The American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathology (ASCO/CAP) has published HER2 testing guidelines in breast cancer. We herein reviewed the HER2 testing guidelines in breast cancer with a focus on the application of the current guidelines.
    Recent findings: The continual investigation of HER2 testing in breast cancer has resulted in updates in the HER2 testing guidelines. The current guidelines focus on the uncommon clinical scenarios and emphasize the coordination between immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization results, in an effort to improve clarity and accuracy. The ASCO/CAP guidelines provide valuable recommendations to ensure the accurate evaluation of HER2 status in breast cancer patients through standardization. Additional studies, particularly those with long-term outcome data are still needed to validate the guideline recommendations, especially the uncommon cases.

    Abstract Introduction: Multigene genomic profiling has become the standard of care in the clinical risk-assessment and risk-stratification of ER
    Methods: 355 patients with an ODX recurrence score, and at least five years of follow-up or a BC recurrence were included in the study. All patients received either Tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor. None of the patients received adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.
    Results: There was no significant difference in the risk of recurrence in similar risk categories (very low risk, low risk, and high risk) between the average Modified Magee score and ODX recurrence score with the chi-square test of independence (
    Conclusion: Our study further reinforces that BC patients can be confidently stratified into lower and higher-risk recurrence groups using the Magee equations

    Abstract Objectives: We compared the clinicopathologic features, clinical management, and outcomes of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-expressing and nonexpressing microinvasive breast carcinomas (MiBC) to explore the significance of HER2 in MiBC.
    Methods: Clinicopathologic and follow-up information of cases with final diagnosis of MiBC with known HER2 status between 2007 and 2019 were analyzed.
    Results: Nineteen (41.3%) HER2-positive (HER2+) and 27 (58.7%) HER2-negative (HER2-) MiBCs were identified. HER2 positivity was likely to be associated with high nuclear grade, presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, hormonal receptor negativity, and increased Ki-67 in both microinvasive and associated in situ carcinomas. Nodal metastases were found in 2 ER+/HER2- cases (5.3%). One HER2+ case was found to have isolated tumor cells in the axillary node. The majority of patients with HER2+ MiBCs (76.5%) did not receive HER2-targeted therapy. All patients with available follow-up were alive without recurrence or distant metastasis, with a median follow-up of 38 months.
    Conclusions: Similar to the larger size of invasive breast carcinomas, HER2 positivity is associated with high-grade morphologic features in MiBCs. However, HER2 overexpression in MiBCs does not appear to be associated with nodal metastasis or worse outcome in our study cohort. The role of HER2-targeted therapy in this clinical setting merits additional study.

    Abstract BAFF (B lymphocyte activating factor of the tumour necrosis factor family) is a vital homeostatic cytokine for B cells that helps regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. Increased serum levels of BAFF are found in a number of different autoimmune diseases, and BAFF is found in inflammatory sites in which there is lymphoid neogenesis. BAFF antagonism has been used in several autoimmune disease models, resulting in B cell depletion, decreased activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DC) and a reduction in the overall inflammatory burden. BAFF, through its interaction with BAFF-R, is required for survival of late transitional, marginal zone and mature naive B cells, all of which are depleted by BAFF blockade. Through their interactions with TACI (transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor) and BCMA (B cell maturation protein), BAFF and its homologue APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand), support the survival of at least some subsets of plasma cells; blockade of both cytokines results in a decrease in serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig)G. In contrast, neither BAFF nor APRIL is required for the survival or reactivation of memory B cells or B1 cells. BAFF also helps DC maturation and interleukin (IL)-6 release and is required for proper formation of a follicular dendritic cell (FDC) network within germinal centres, although not for B cell affinity maturation. The clinical efficacy of BAFF blockade in animal models of autoimmunity may be caused both by the decline in the number of inflammatory cells and by the inhibition of DC maturation within target organs. Blockade of BAFF and its homologue APRIL are being explored for human use; several Phase I and II clinical trials of BAFF inhibitors for autoimmunity have been completed and Phase III trials are in progress.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive nonpleomorphic invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), which has rarely been addressed.
    Methods: Clinicopathologic characteristics and follow-up of HER2-positive nonpleomorphic ILCs were collected and compared to those of HER2-negative counterparts.
    Results: Twenty-one cases of HER2-positive nonpleomorphic ILCs were identified, 6.3% of the study population. Compared to HER2-negative nonpleomorphic ILC, patients with HER2 positivity were older (P < .05), likely to be hormonal receptor negative (P < .01), and had higher histologic grade and angiolymphatic invasion (P < .01). HER2 positivity in nonpleomorphic ILCs was associated with higher recurrence/metastasis with hazard ratio of 2.03 (P < .05). No patient who received neoadjuvant therapy achieved pathologic complete response, and HER2-targeted therapy tended to reduce recurrence/metastasis in patients with HER2-positive nonpleomorphic ILC.
    Conclusions: Our results highlight the existence of HER2 positivity in nonpleomorphic ILCs and reinforce that HER2 is associated with worse prognosis in nonpleomorphic ILC.

    Abstract Therapies that Ag-specifically target pathologic T lymphocytes responsible for multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases would be expected to have improved therapeutic indices compared with Ag-nonspecific therapies. We have developed a cellular immunotherapy that uses chimeric receptors to selectively redirect therapeutic T cells against myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T lymphocytes implicated in MS. We generated two heterodimeric receptors that genetically link the human MBP84-102 epitope to HLA-DR2 and either incorporate or lack a TCRzeta signaling domain. The Ag-MHC domain serves as a bait, binding the TCR of MBP-specific target cells. The zeta signaling region stimulates the therapeutic cell after cognate T cell engagement. Both receptors were well expressed on primary T cells or T hybridomas using a tricistronic (alpha, beta, green fluorescent protein) retroviral expression system. MBP-DR2-zeta-, but not MBP-DR2, modified CTL were specifically stimulated by cognate MBP-specific T cells, proliferating, producing cytokine, and killing the MBP-specific target cells. The receptor-modified therapeutic cells were active in vivo as well, eliminating Ag-specific T cells in a humanized mouse model system. Finally, the chimeric receptor-modified CTL ameliorated or blocked experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) disease mediated by MBP84-102/DR2-specific T lymphocytes. These results provide support for the further development of redirected therapeutic T cells able to counteract pathologic, self-specific T lymphocytes, and specifically validate humanized MBP-DR2-zeta chimeric receptors as a potential therapeutic in MS.
