The recognition of breast cancer (BC) as a spectrum tumor in Lynch syndrome remains controversial. The aim of this study was to explore features of breast cancers arising in Lynch syndrome families. This observational study involved 107 cases of BC identified from the Colorectal Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR) from 90 families where 1) both breast and colon cancer co-occurred, 2) families met either modified Amsterdam criteria, or had at least one early onset (<50 years) colorectal cancer, and 3) breast tissue was available within the biospecimen repository for mismatch repair (MMR) testing. Eligibility criteria for enrolment in the Colon CFR are available online1. Breast cancers were reviewed by one pathologist. Tumor sections were stained for MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6, and underwent MSI testing. BC arose in 35 mutation carriers and of these, 18 (51%) demonstrated immunohistochemical absence of MMR protein corresponding to the MMR gene mutation segregating in the family. MMR-deficient BCs were more likely to be poorly differentiated (p=0.005) with a high mitotic index (p=0.002), steroid hormone receptor negative (ER p=0.031; PR p=0.022), and to have peritumoral lymphocytes (p=0.015), confluent necrosis (p=0.002), and growth in solid sheets (p<0.001) similar to their colorectal counterparts. No difference in age of onset was noted between the MMR deficient and intact groups. MMR deficiency was identified in 51% of BC arising in known mutation carriers. BC therefore may represent a valid tissue option for the detection of MMR deficiency where spectrum tumors are lacking.
