Comparison of the genomic alterations present in tumor samples from patients with metastatic inflammatory versus non-inflammatory breast cancer reveals AURKA as a potential treatment target

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but aggressive subtype of breast cancer, mainly characterized using primary tumor samples. Here, using public datasets, we compared the genomic alterations in primary and metastatic samples from patients with metastatic IBC versus patients with metastatic n...

description Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but aggressive subtype of breast cancer, mainly characterized using primary tumor samples. Here, using public datasets, we compared the genomic alterations in primary and metastatic samples from patients with metastatic IBC versus patients with metastatic non-IBC. We observed a higher frequency of AURKA amplification in IBC. We further showed that AURKA amplification was associated with increased AURKA mRNA expression, which we demonstrated was higher in IBC. Finally, higher protein expression of AURKA was associated with worse prognosis in patients with IBC. These findings deserve further investigation given the existence of AURKA-inhibitors.
