...To avoid preanalytical, analytical, and scoring variations in Ki67 analysis, this trial employed a standardized sample acquisition method by providing biopsy/shipment kits, centralized processing, Ki67 staining, and pathologist-guided imaging analysis that have shown to yield reproducible Ki67 levels predictive of clinical outcomes (18)....

...To compare PG features with cell cycle control in hormone receptor (HR)+/ERBB2 PG and triple-negative BRCA (TNBC) tumors, the multi-gene proliferation score (MGPS; Figure 6A; Table S6) was generated for each sample (Ellis et al., 2017; Whitfield et al., 2002)....

...PG Analysis of Rb Status May Inform the Response to CDK4/6 Inhibitor Therapy Proliferation rate is a critical prognostic feature in BRCA, and the cell cycle is a target for endocrine therapy (Ellis et al., 2017) and CDK4/6 inhibition in ER+, ERBB2 advanced BRCA (Pernas et al....

...In HR-positive disease, a decrease in the proliferation marker Ki-67 (protein encoded by the MKI67 gene) from baseline in response to endocrine therapy has been validated as a marker of treatment benefit, with measurement of Ki-67 after 2 weeks of endocrine therapy shown to improve the prediction of recurrence-free survival (RFS).(13,14) Given the predominantly antiproliferative effects of palbociclib, suppression of Ki-67 is a rational end point for estimating whether there is efficacy with the addition of palbociclib to an aromatase inhibitor (AI) versus AI alone in the neoadjuvant setting....
