Résumé

Breast fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumors are both fibroepithelial tumors with comparable histological characteristics. However, rapid and precise differential diagnosis is a tough point in clinical pathology. Given the tendency of phyllodes tumors to recur, the difficulty in differential diagnosis with fibroadenomas leads to the difficulty in optimal management for these patients. In this study, we used Raman spectroscopy to differentiate phyllodes tumors from breast fibroadenomas based on the biochemical and metabolic composition and develop a classification model. The model was validated by 5-fold cross-validation in the training set and tested in an independent test set. The potential metabolic differences between the two types of tumors observed in Raman spectroscopy were confirmed by targeted metabolomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A total of 204 patients with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, including 100 fibroadenomas and 104 phyllodes tumors were recruited from April 2014 to August 2021. All patients were randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 153) and the test cohort (n = 51). The Raman classification model could differentiate phyllodes tumor versus fibroadenoma with cross-validation accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and area under curve (AUC) of 85.58 % ± 1.77 %, 83.82 % ± 1.01 %, 87.65 % ± 4.22 %, and 93.18 % ± 1.98 %, respectively. When tested in the independent test set, it performed well with the test accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 83.50 %, 86.54 %, 80.39 %, and 90.71 %. Furthermore, the AUC was significantly higher for the Raman model than that for ultrasound (P = 0.0017) and frozen section diagnosis (P < 0.0001). When it came to much more difficult diagnosis between fibroadenoma and benign or small-size phyllodes tumor for pathological examination, the Raman model was capable of differentiating with AUC up to 97.45 % and 95.61 %, respectively. On the other hand, targeted metabolomic analysis, based on fresh-frozen tissue samples, confirmed the differential metabolites (including thymine, dihydrothymine, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, etc.) identified from Raman spectra between phyllodes tumor and fibroadenoma. In this study, we obtained the molecular information map of breast phyllodes tumors provided by Raman spectroscopy for the first time. We identified a novel Raman fingerprint signature with the potential to precisely characterize and distinguish phyllodes tumors from fibroadenoma as a quick and accurate diagnostic tool. Raman spectroscopy is expected to further guide the precise diagnosis and optimal treatment of breast fibroepithelial tumors in the future.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Breast fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumors are both fibroepithelial tumors with comparable histological characteristics. However, rapid and precise differential diagnosis is a tough point in clinical pathology. Given the tendency of phyllodes tumors to recur, the difficulty in differential diagnosis with fibroadenomas leads to the difficulty in optimal management for these patients.
METHOD METHODS
In this study, we used Raman spectroscopy to differentiate phyllodes tumors from breast fibroadenomas based on the biochemical and metabolic composition and develop a classification model. The model was validated by 5-fold cross-validation in the training set and tested in an independent test set. The potential metabolic differences between the two types of tumors observed in Raman spectroscopy were confirmed by targeted metabolomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 204 patients with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, including 100 fibroadenomas and 104 phyllodes tumors were recruited from April 2014 to August 2021. All patients were randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 153) and the test cohort (n = 51). The Raman classification model could differentiate phyllodes tumor versus fibroadenoma with cross-validation accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and area under curve (AUC) of 85.58 % ± 1.77 %, 83.82 % ± 1.01 %, 87.65 % ± 4.22 %, and 93.18 % ± 1.98 %, respectively. When tested in the independent test set, it performed well with the test accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 83.50 %, 86.54 %, 80.39 %, and 90.71 %. Furthermore, the AUC was significantly higher for the Raman model than that for ultrasound (P = 0.0017) and frozen section diagnosis (P < 0.0001). When it came to much more difficult diagnosis between fibroadenoma and benign or small-size phyllodes tumor for pathological examination, the Raman model was capable of differentiating with AUC up to 97.45 % and 95.61 %, respectively. On the other hand, targeted metabolomic analysis, based on fresh-frozen tissue samples, confirmed the differential metabolites (including thymine, dihydrothymine, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, etc.) identified from Raman spectra between phyllodes tumor and fibroadenoma.
SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY UNASSIGNED
In this study, we obtained the molecular information map of breast phyllodes tumors provided by Raman spectroscopy for the first time. We identified a novel Raman fingerprint signature with the potential to precisely characterize and distinguish phyllodes tumors from fibroadenoma as a quick and accurate diagnostic tool. Raman spectroscopy is expected to further guide the precise diagnosis and optimal treatment of breast fibroepithelial tumors in the future.
