Abstract PS6-46: Correlation of Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes in non-metastatic breast cancer patients

Background Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and most frequent among women. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can impact tumor progression and response to therapies. Here we aimed to study TILS using the International Immunooncology Biomarkers Working Group guidelines and correlating the TILS with clinicopathological characteristics, disease free and overall survival in non-metastatic breast cancer patients. Methods Non metastatic breast cancer patients (N = 86) who presented to our department between (2013 - 2015) were retrospectively evaluated. The assessment of TILS distribution was based on the TILS International Working Group 2014 recommendations. The eligible patients were reviewed retrospectively regarding the demographic status and clinical parameters and primary treatment information were extracted from the medical records. For all of the available patients, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Results In the study the majority of the patients were 45 years of age or less. The TILS percentage was measured using image analysis. All samples had a range of 1-100%, with a mean 22%. There was 9.3% of the patients having lymphocyte predominant breast cancer (≥50%), while 90.3% had TILS percentage of We noticed that there is a subgroup of patients with exceptionally high TILS, (called LPBC with TILS ≥50%) had a beneficial response to treatment and confers additional survival benefit; every incremental increase of 10% also resulted in benefit to treatment and delayed relapse. High level of TILS associated with delayed relapse and a survival benefit. Conclusions We demonstrated that increasing TILS confer a relapse free benefit of breast cancer patient, regardless of the tumor subtype, indicating that TILS represent an breast cancer the patients.
