PG - 470-474 LID - 10.1177/1066896921990717 [doi] AB - Following lung cancer, breast cancer is the second most common metastatic tumor to the brain, of which triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2+ (HER2+) breast cancer are the most common subtypes. TNBC does not have standard immunoprofiles and can be difficult to distinguish from other metastases. A tissue microarray was created from 47 patients with breast cancer metastases to the brain and 12 paired breast primaries. Of 47 breast cancer metastases, 24 were HER2+, 14 were TNBC, and 9 were luminal. Forty-five were cytokeratin 7 (CK7) positive, 36 were GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) positive, 7 were Sry-related HMg-Box gene 10 (SOX-10) positive, 20 were mammaglobin positive, and 19 were gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 positive. At least one of the CK7, GATA3, or SOX-10 was positive in all TNBC metastases. A panel of CK7, GATA3, and SOX-10 is complementary in the diagnosis of breast cancer brain metastasis. SOX-10 appears to be a specific but not particularly sensitive marker in this context. FAU - Statz, Eric AU - Statz E AD - 5506Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, USA.
