Characterization of Gut Microbiome Composition in Patients with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

© The Author(s) 2023. Published by Oxford University Press..

INTRODUCTION: Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy have a better event-free survival. The role of gut microbiome in early TNBC is underexplored.

METHODS: Microbiome was analyzed by 16SrRNA sequencing.

RESULTS: Twenty-five patients with TNBC treated with neoadjuvant anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy were included. Fifty-six percent achieved a pCR. Fecal samples were collected before (t0), at 1 (t1), and 8 weeks (t2) from chemotherapy. Overall, 68/75 samples (90.7%) were suitable for microbiome analysis. At t0, pCR group showed a significantly higher α-diversity as compared with no-pCR, (P = .049). The PERMANOVA test on β-diversity highlighted a significant difference in terms of BMI (P = 0.039). Among patients with available matched samples at t0 and t1, no significant variation in microbiome composition was reported over time.

CONCLUSIONS: Fecal microbiome analysis in early TNBC is feasible and deserves further investigation in order to unravel its complex correlation with immunity and cancer.
