5 Hans-Jörg Senn: There is hardly any major breast cancer conference today in any part of the world where there is no reference to the latest St. Gallen Consensus. Which does not mean at all, that our international Panel s critical work in setting general recommendations on the basis of mostly clinico-pathological parameters are just applauded. But they are recognized, either as a standard of care for countries and societies, or they serve as a challenge to compete with for science, in developing new, hopefully even better ways to realistically select breast cancer patients for optimal and curative initial treatment. (5)

6 St. Gallen 2009 Recommendations Consensus & Controversy

7 International Consensus Panel James N. Ingle, USA & Aron Goldhirsch, CH/I (Chairmen) Matti Aapro (CH) Kathy Albain (USA) Jonas Bergh (S) Harold Burstein (USA) Robert Carlson (USA) Monica Castiglione-Gertsch (CH) Alan S. Coates (AUS) Marco Colleoni (I) Alberto Costa (I) Jack Cuzick (UK) Nancy Davidson (USA) Angelo Di Leo (I) John F. Forbes (AUS) Richard D. Gelber (USA) John H. Glick (USA) Joseph Gligorov (F) Michael Gnant (A) Paul E. Goss (USA) Jay R. Harris (USA) Jacek Jassem (PL) Per Karlsson (S) Manfred Kaufmann (D) Stella Kyriakides (CY) Louis Mauriac (F) Gunter von Minckwitz (D) Monica Morrow (USA) Henning Mouridsen (DK) Moise Namer (F) Larry Norton (USA) Soonmyung Paik (USA) Martine Piccart-Gebhart (B) Kurt Possinger (D) Kathy Pritchard (CAN) Emiel J.T. Rutgers (NL) Vladimir Semiglazov (RUS) Ian E. Smith (UK) Beat Thürlimann (CH) Giuseppe Viale (I) Toru Watanabe (JPN) Eric P. Winer (USA) William C. Wood (USA) (7)

8 Areas of controversy - Need for debate Areas which do not require discussion because evidence is accepted by most / all Controversies deserve stated opinion for Debated arguments & definitive resolution Debate leading to a range of resolutions (because need a different approach in different environments / countries) (8)

9 (9)

10 Areas of controversy - Need for debate Clinical trials are useful for defining whether one treatment is better than another useful for defining the average improved treatment outcome not useful for defining how to treat an individual patient Interpretation on what evidence means for treating an individual patient is a matter of debate (10)

11 Consider 10 Areas of Controversy Surgery: Axilla, Margins Radiation: DCIS, Accelerated, Post Mx Pathology:, ER, PgR, Ki67, Grade Multi-gene signatures, AOL Endocrine therapies Chemotherapies Targeted therapies Neo-Adjuvant systemic therapy Fertility Male breast cancer (11)

12 Surgery: Axilla Should SN biopsy be considered a standard in invasive breast cancer with cno (not T4d)? 1 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Can AND be avoided with low risk of residual axillary disease (i.e., micromets or ILT in SN)? All patients? Selected patients?

13 Consider 10 Areas of Controversy Surgery: Axilla, Margins Radiation: DCIS, Accelerated, Post Mx Pathology:, ER, PgR, Ki67, Grade Multi-gene signatures, AOL Endocrine therapies Chemotherapies Targeted therapies Neo-Adjuvant systemic therapy Fertility Male breast cancer (13)

14 Pathology: ER Should percent ER stained be reported? Should an ER score be reported? Should the definition of highly endocrine responsive require ER > 50% stained cells?

15 Pathology: PgR Should PgR be considered when evaluating prognosis? Should PgR be used to predict response to Tam? Does low or absent PgR predict response to AIs?

16 Pathology Should Oncotype DX be used to predict CT response in an endocrine-responsive cohort? Should Mammaprint be used to predict CT responsiveness? Does Adjuvant! Online (AOL) provide a reasonable estimate of CT effectiveness? Can AOL be used as a communication tool? Can AOL be used for clinical decision making?

17 Primary Consideration (must be agreed on by majority of participants) Primary goals - treatment choice for women with early breast cancer: * Integrate tumor biology and tumor extent into an estimate of responsiveness to treatment and risk of relapse Utilize tumor biology, host biology and risk to obtain an optimal management strategy (17)

18 St. Gallen Panel Conclusions 2007: Significant Number Patients in Uncertain Category Re: Use of Chemotherapy Highly Endocrine Responsive Incompletely Endocrine Responsive Endocrine Non- Responsive HER2 negative CT HER2 positive ET + Trastuzumab + CT ET + Trastuzumab + CT Trastuzumab + CT Ann Oncol 2007 (18)

19 Top-Ten Questions (1-5) Identification of molecular signatures to select patients who could be spared chemotherapy (643 points). 2. Identify molecular features which indicate the optimal chemotherapy regimen (eg combination or sequential, anthracycline or not, taxane or not) (450). 3. Determine the factors in DCIS and/or ADH leading to progression into invasive carcinoma (406). 4. Determine the role of stem cells in breast cancer development, progression and treatment sensitivity (404). 5. Identify response/resistance mechanisms and thereby therapeutic targets for triple negative breast cancer (369). Dowsett, et al. Breast Cancer Res 2007 (19)

27 St. Gallen 2009 Expert Panel A Proposed Revision Adding Chemotherapy to Endocrine-Based Adjuvant Therapy The Panel accepts molecularly-based tools (such as the 21-gene recurrence score assay) or gene expression profiling (such as by the 70-gene assay) as an adjunct to high-quality standard histopathologic assessment to refine risk categories. The Panel recognizes in many cases this may provide more optimal individual risk allocation for making a decision to add chemotherapy or not. DO YOU AGREE? 27

28 Pathology Should a validated multi-gene assay when available - be considered in addition to expert classical pathology in situations von patients and doctors are uncertain? Is UPAI/PAI1 useful?
