    Abstract: 617 Background: Ampullary cancer (AC) represents 0.2% of gastrointestinal cancers. Given the rarity of the disease, information regarding treatment strategies and outcomes derives from studies that include the different types of periampullary cancers, which constitute a heterogeneous group. Our aim was to describe the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes in patients (pts) with true AC treated at our institution. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of all consecutive pts with histological diagnosis of AC evaluated at our institution from Jan 2009-Dec 2019. Clinical, pathological and laboratory variables at diagnosis were recorded. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier and compared with the Log-rank test. Statistical significance was determined at P 〈 0.05. Results: 133 pts with AC were included. Median age was 62 yo (IQR 53-70), 51.9% were women. 25% had ampullary adenoma history. Symptoms at diagnosis: 89% jaundice, 63% weight loss and 56% abdominal pain. Median laboratory values were total bilirubin 1.7 mg/dL (0.7-5.1), albumin 3.7 g/dL (3.1-4.2), hemoglobin 12.6 g/dL (10.9-14.2), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 34.7 U/mL (6.4-113.9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 2.6 ng/mL (1.2-4.2). Most tumors were moderately differentiated (59%). Histologic subtypes of adenocarcinoma were available in 84 pts: intestinal 46.4%, pancreaticobiliary 39.3% and mixed 14.3%. Stage at diagnosis was localized (46%), locally advanced N+ (29%) and advanced (25%). For those with localized/locally advanced disease, 91% (91/100) underwent surgical resection, 25.3% (23/91) received adjuvant chemotherapy (ChT), 69.6% (16/23) received single agent and 30.4% (7/23) duplet. Pts who received adjuvant Cht presented N+ in 69.6%, moderate differentiation in 73.9%, intestinal 47.8% and pancreaticobiliary subtype 43.5%. In advanced setting, 63.6% (21/33) received palliative Cht, 66.7% received a duplet regimen. Median OS was 32.8 (22.9-42.8) months (mos). Median OS according to stage was 152.1, 28.1 and 10.2 mos for localized, locally advanced, and advanced, respectively (P 〈 0.001). OS univariate analysis is shown in table. Conclusions: Most of pts presented with localized/locally advanced disease, were eligible to surgical resection and had a better survival. For those with N+ disease it is required to evaluate the role of adjuvant Cht. In the advanced setting, Cht improves prognosis.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: e16105 Background: Regarding cancer care, health system in Mexico is characterized by heterogeneous medical and technical infrastructure among institutions. Limited access to specialized surgeons, radiation therapy and medications may differ and affect survival. Our institution has surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation therapy for the treatment of uninsured low-income patients with RC. The institution does not provide chemotherapy or biologic therapy. Our aim was to describe treatment modalities and outcomes in patients (pts) with RC treated in a referral center in Mexico. Methods: A retrospective database of all consecutive pts with histological diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma evaluated at our institution from January 2010 to December 2016 was created. Clinical and pathological variables at diagnosis and treatment modalities were recorded. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log rank test. Results: 99 pts were included, 61.6% male gender. Median age was 61 y/o (range 19 – 97). EGOG PS 0 – 1: 86%. 69% were moderately differentiated. Tumor location: lower (25%), middle (57%), and upper third (18%). Clinical stage (CS) was localized (T1-2, N0 M0) 5%, locally advanced (T3-4, or N+) 71% and advanced (M1) 24%. Treatment modalities (TM) by stage are presented in the Table. For those with advanced disease, 58% had metastasis in one site. RAS and BRAF mutation determination was performed in 21%. 5-year survival rate: 56%. Median OS (months): 25.3 for localized, 103.1 for locally advanced and 18.6 for advanced disease (P = 0.001). Conclusions: In our center, pts with local and regional RC had treatment according to international guidelines and survival was not compromised. On the contrary, limited access to systemic therapy affected patients with advanced disease and decreased survival was documented. To improve survival in patients with advanced disease, health policy adjustments to incorporate systemic treatment coverage are required. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 518 Background: gallbladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract. Treatment modalities and outcomes for this disease in Mexican population have been infrequently reported. Methods: we retrospectively reviewed medical records from 61 patients with histologically confirmed gallbladder cancer treated at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán from January 2005 to December 2015.Clinical and pathological information was recorded. Survival was estimated by Kaplan Meir method and compared by Log rank test. Results: we found 68.9% women and 31.1% men, with a median age of 68 years (32-93). Clinical stage was advanced in 65.6% (n=40), regional in 23% (n=14), localized in 4.9% (n=3) and in situ in 6.6% (n=4). For patients with localized disease (n=21), which included in situ, localized and regional disease, a potentially curative surgery was attempted in 100% of patients, achieving a R0 resection in 47.6% (n=10) of cases. The morbidity rate was 33.3% (n=7). There were 5 surgical deaths. For advanced disease (n=40), the initial treatment was: 42.5% (n=17) palliative surgery, 25% (n=10) palliative care and for 30% (n=12) systemic chemotherapy, more frequently gemcitabine plus cisplatin (n=7). At progression seven patients received second-line chemotherapy. Median overall survival (OS) in the global cohort was 5.6 months (IC 95, 2.4-8.77). According to clinical stage survival at 5 years was 100% for in situ and 67% for localized disease. Median survival was 6.3 months (IC 95, 2.3-10-3) for regional disease and 4.2 months (IC 95, 1.1-6.4) for advanced disease. For patients with localized disease not achieving R0 resection (p=0.03) and perineural invasion (p=0.025) were associated with decreased survival. For patients with advanced disease poor performance status (p=0.004) and absence of chemotherapy (p=0.002) were adverse prognostic factors. Conclusions: global poor outcomes may be explained by metastatic disease at presentation. Even for patients with apparent localized disease, a potentially curative resection could be offered to only half of the patients.

    Abstract: 454 Background: Pancreatic cancer remains a highly lethal disease. There is no consensus on treatment sequences and chemotherapy (CT) regimen in BRPC and LAPC. Our aim was to describe the multimodal treatment and outcomes in our population. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients (pts) with BRPC/LAPC and histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma evaluated at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición from January 2011-December 2016. Clinical and pathological variables at diagnosis and treatment were recorded. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. Results: 69 pts were evaluated, 39% (27) did not receive treatment. We analyze 42 treated pts. BRPC 33%/LAPC 67%. Median age was 58.8 y/o, 54.8% were female. Symptoms at diagnosis: 79% abdominal pain, 76% weight loss, 55% jaundice. ECOG performance status (PS): 0 (17%), 1 (69%) and 2 (14%). Main location was pancreatic head (76%). Median laboratory values: total bilirubin 1.04 mg/dL (0.2-25), albumin 4.1 g/dL (2.4-5.1), CA 19.9 182.8 U/mL (0.8-4028). Laparotomy at diagnosis was performed in 21%. All pts received induction CT (iCT). FOLFIRINOX was the most common regimen (37%), followed by FOLFOX4 (34%). The best overall response with iCT was stable disease (62%), progressive disease was observed in 24%. iCT followed by chemoradiation (CRT) could be delivered to 48% (20/42). Capecitabine-based CRT was preferred (94%). Six pts (14%) underwent surgical resection after multimodal treatment (36% BRPC, 3.5% LAPC), 5 pts achieved R0 resection. The resection rate with single-agent iCT was 0% vs 20% with combination iCT. Median OS was 15.6 months (m): 14.4 m for BRPC and 15.5 m for LAPC. Median OS according iCT: gemcitabine 7.8 m, fluorouracil 13.7 m, FOLFOX4 15.5 m and FOLFIRINOX 24.6 m. Univariate analysis identified ECOG PS (0-1 vs 2, P = 0. 014) and age ( 〈 59 vs ³59, P = 0.002) as significantly associated with survival. Conclusions: Early administration of combination CT followed by CRT and/o surgical resection in selected pts improves oncological outcomes in pts with BRPC/LAPC. In pts with good PS, iCT with FOLFIRINOX is the preferred regimen given best results.

    Abstract: 590 Background: universal screening has been proposed as an alternative to clinical criteria for detection of Lynch syndrome (LS). Results of such policy have not been evaluated in mexican population with low incidence of colo-rectal cancer (CCR). Objective: to determine the proportion of patients tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) and characterize subsequent molecular and clinical work up for abnormal results. Methods: we identified all consecutive cases of CCR during 2016 at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico. We recorded clinical variables, IHC for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins and/or clinical genetics evaluation and molecular confirmation of LS if available. Results: universal screening policy was adopted by our institution in 2016. 209 CRC patients had an outpatient consultation. The median age at diagnosis was 59.8 years. 103 IHC for MMR proteins were done (49%) regardless of age at diagnosis and a family history of CRC. 36/103 (35%) IHC showed abnormal result meaning lack of expression of at least one of four MMR proteins: 26 MLH1, 7 MSH2, 10 MSH6 and 23 PMS2. 11/36 patients (30%) had a family history of CRC. 26/36 (72%) were evaluated by clinical genetics service. Of 26 MLH1 deficient patients, only one case was tested for BRAF mutation. 14/36 patients (39%) were tested by sequencing analysis: 7 MLH1, 5 MSH2, 1 MSH6, 1 PMS2. 2/14 patients were tested by MLPA assay given negative sequencing analysis. Germ-line mutations were identified in 7/36 patients (19%). All mutations were identified in patients with a clinical suspicion given strong family history of CRC. No identified mutations could be attributed to universal screening policy. Conclusions: during the first year of implementing universal screening for LS in CRC patients only half of the patients were screened by IHC. Despite MLH1/PMS2 deficiency was the most frequent abnormality, BRAF mutation analysis was not performed as recommended, given the lack of access to the test. A clinical suspicion of LS was a determinant driver for confirmatory molecular testing therefore limiting the usefulness of universal screening.
