Abstract
- Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most pro‐metastatic form of breast cancer. Better understanding of its pathophysiology and identification of actionable genetic alterations (AGAs) are crucial to improve systemic treatment. We aimed to define the DNA profiles of IBC vs noninflammatory breast cancer (non‐IBC) clinical samples in terms of copy number alterations (CNAs), mutations, and AGAs. We applied targeted next‐generation sequencing (tNGS) and array‐comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to 57 IBC and 50 non‐IBC samples and pooled these data with four public datasets profiled using NGS and aCGH, leading to a total of 101 IBC and 2351 non‐IBC untreated primary tumors. The respective percentages of each molecular subtype [hormone receptor‐positive (HR+)/HER2−, HER2+, and triple‐negative] were 68%, 15%, and 17% in non‐IBC vs 25%, 35%, and 40% in IBC. The comparisons were adjusted for both the molecular subtypes and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage. The 10 most frequently altered genes in IBCs were TP53 (63%), HER2/ERBB2 (30%), MYC (27%), PIK3CA (21%), BRCA2 (14%), CCND1 (13%), GATA3 (13%), NOTCH1 (12%), FGFR1 (11%), and ARID1A (10%). The tumor mutational burden was higher in IBC than in non‐IBC. We identified 96 genes with an alteration frequency (p
