    Abstract: 660 Background: Oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based combination chemotherapy with infusional 5-FU and leucovorin are currently the standard therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of capecitabine monotherapy as third line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin and irinotecan, and to determine whether the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), or the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are significant prognostic marker in metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: We analyzed 60 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who received capecitabine monotherapy after the failure of FOLFOX and FOLFIRI. Capecitabine was administered at 1250mg/m2 twice daily for 2 weeks, every 3 weeks. The NLR and PLR were calculated from complete blood counts in baseline laboratory test before the first cycle chemotherapy. Results: The overall response rate was 6.7% and stable disease was 41.7%. The disease control rate was 48.3%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.8 months (95% CI, 1.5-4.1 months) and the median overall survival (OS) was 9.7 months (95% CI, 7.6-11.7 months). The most frequent adverse event was hand-foot syndrome (all-grade 26.6%; grade3 5%). The response of capecitabine, NLR, and PLR were observed as good prognostic markers of OS in univariate analysis (p 〈 0.001, 0.004, and 0.002, respectively). The response of capecitabine and PLR were independent prognostic marker in multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio 2.757, 95% CI 1.357-5.599, p=0.005 and hazard ratio 2.091, 95% CI 1.231-3.552, p=0.006, respectively). Conclusions: The capecitabine monotherapy showed a moderate disease control and a tolerable toxicity profile as third line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. The response of capecitabine and PLR may be simple and useful prognostic index for metastatic colorectal cancer.

    Abstract: e14686 Background: Several inflammatory response materials could be biomarkers for prediction of prognosis of cancer patients. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been introduced for prognostic scoring system in several cancer. The objective of this study was to determine whether the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), or the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are significant prognostic marker in metastatic gastric cancer. Methods: We analyzed 150 patients with metastatic gastric cancer who received mFOLFOX regimen as the first-line chemotherapy. The NLR and PLR were calculated from complete blood counts in baseline laboratory test before the first cycle chemotherapy. Results: The overall response rate was 34.7% and stable disease was 38.7%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.2 months (95% CI, 3.5-4.8 months) and the median overall survival (OS) was 13.1 months (95% CI, 10.6-15.5 months). Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test revealed that higher NLR (≥3) was a good prognostic biomarker of OS (p=0.024), but not associated with PFS (p=0.838). The PLR was not associated with PFS and OS (p=0.373 and p=0.304, respectively). In Cox regression analysis for predicting OS, younger age, good performance status, response of chemotherapy, and lower NLR ( 〈 3) were independent prognostic markers (Hazard ratio 2.052, 95% CI 1.370-3.075, p 〈 0.001, hazard ratio 8.467, 95% CI 1.937-37.017, p=0.005, hazard ratio 1.889, 95% CI 1.222-2.921, p=0.004, and hazard ratio 1.616, 95% CI 1.080-2.416, p=0.019, respectively). Conclusions: Although prognosis in metastatic gastric cancer was associated with age and performance status, the NLR might be simple and prognostic index for metastatic gastric cancer.

    Abstract: To investigate the frequency and the prognostic role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) amplification in patients with surgically resected squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) and the association between smoking and FGFR1 amplification. Patients and Methods Gene copy number of FGFR1 was investigated in microarrayed tumors from 262 patients with SCCL who had tumor tissue as well as smoking and survival data available. Gene copy number was evaluated by fluorescent in situ hybridization, and an FGFR1-amplified tumor (FGFR1 amp + ) was prespecified as a tumor with nine or more copies of FGFR1. Results Among 262 patients, the frequency of FGFR1 amp + was 13.0%. Patients with FGFR1 amp + had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS; 26.9 v 94.6 months; P 〈 .001) as well as shorter overall survival (OS; 51.2 v 115.0 months; P = .002) than those without FGFR1 amp + . Multivariate modeling confirmed that patients with FGFR1 amp + had a significantly greater risk of recurrence and death than those without FGFR1 amp + after adjusting for sex, smoking status, pathologic stage, and adjuvant chemotherapy (DFS: adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 2.24; 95% CI, 1.45 to 3.45; P 〈 .001; OS: AHR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.15 to 2.89; P = .01). The frequency of FGFR1 amp + was significantly higher in current smokers than in former smokers and never-smokers (28.9% v 2.5% v 0%; P trend 〈 .001). As the smoking dosage increased, so did the incidence of FGFR1 amp + (P trend = .002). Conclusion FGFR1 amplification is an independent negative prognostic factor in surgically resected SCCL and is associated with cigarette smoking in a dose-dependent manner. FGFR1 amplification is a relevant therapeutic target in Asian patients with SCCL.

    Abstract: 1053 Background: Triple-negative breast cancer is a high risk breast cancer that lacks the benefit of specific targeted therapy. We investigated the clinicopathologic characteristics between triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) and non-TNBC. And we also analyzed the effect of chemotherapy options such as classical CMF regimen, anthracycline-based, or taxane-based chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 826 invasive breast cancer patients were evaluated from March 2003 to December 2008. We investigated them retrospectively, who had the median follow-up for 88 months. We examined the differences between TNBC compared with non-TNBC in relation to the clinicopathologic parameters, chemotherapy regimen, overall survival (OS). Results: 156 (18.9%) cases among 826 patients were triple negative breast cancers. There were significantly positive associations with younger age (below 35 years), large tumor ( 〉 2cm), high stage, poorly differentiated nuclear grade, poorly histologic grade in TNBC. Positive lymph node, lymphovascular invasion were not significantly different between TNBC and non- TNBC. A total of 677 patients were treated with chemotherapy. In TNBC patients, 142 (93.4%) patients were treated with chemotherapy more than in 535 (61.4%) of non- TNBC patients. The chemotherapy in TNBC patients was composed of classical CMF (47.9%), anthracycline-based regimen (25.4%), taxane-based regimen (26.8%). 19 cases (12%) of TNBC experienced locoregional or systemic metastases. 48 (7.2%) patients of non- TNBC did local or systemic metastases. Patients with TNBC had worse 5-year OS than with non-TNT (95.7% vs 98.6%, p=0.01). Interestingly, patients treated with CMF regimen were better 5-year OS than with anthracycline-based, or taxane-based regimen in TNBC (100% vs 96.9% vs 89.2%, p=0.001). There was no survival difference among chemotherapy regimens in non-TNBC patients. Conclusions: Patients with TNBC have poor prognosis compared with non-TNBC. Classical CMF regimen for TNBC patients may be more effective than anthracycline-based or taxane-based regimens.

    Abstract: 27 Background: Treatment planning for early-stage estrogen receptor (ER) positive, lymph node negative breast cancer was based on prognostic factors with limited predictive power such as age. The Recurrence Score (RS) from the Oncotype DX assay (ODX) provides predictive power transcending age but is rarely applied to the elderly or young patients (pts). We examined our experience with RS along the age continuum. Methods: Retrospective review was conducted of prospectively gathered breast cancer pts having a RS obtained as part of their cancer care. Eligibility for performance of the ODX was based on NCCN guidelines or physician discretion. Comparisons on RS were made by age groups (young: 〈 45yrs; middle: 〉 45yrs - 〈 70yrs: elderly: 〉 70yrs) using general linear regression model and the exact Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test. Results: 677pts had 681 tumors with RS available (89 young, 476 middle and 112 elderly pts). Median RS for the study pts was 17 (range 0-85) and 16, 17, and 15 for the young, middle, and elderly respectively. Median age was 58yrs (range: 27-95); young, middle, and elderly was 42, 58, and 74yrs respectively. Age as a continuous or categorical variable was not predictive of RS (p value = 0.38, 0.58 respectively). No significant differences were seen between age cohorts for histology, mitotic rate, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), grade, nodal status, stage, or strength of ER positivity. Mastectomy rates were higher in the young (57.5%), compared to the middle (42.5%) and elderly (39.6%) (p=0.02). Median invasive tumor size was 1.6, 1.5, and 1.5cm for young, middle, and elderly. Larger tumor size, as a continuous variable, equaled higher RS (p=0.046). Other significant factors predicting higher RS were increased mitosis (p 〈 0.001), LVI (p=0.013), high grade (p 〈 0.001), and weak ( 〈 10%) ER positivity (p 〈 0.001). Nodal status, stage, and histology did not affect RS. Conclusions: Age has limited predictive power for treatment planning for breast cancer. Age alone should not preclude recommendations for performance of ODX in estrogen receptor positive lymph node negative early stage breast cancer as the RS distribution across the spectrum of age is well matched.

    Abstract: 101 Background: The Oncotype Dx (ODX) Recurrence Score (RS) stratifies breast cancer patients (pts) by risk of recurrence and potential benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy. Pts with early stage, estrogen receptor (ER) positive, lymph node-negative breast cancer were included in the initial validation studies. Limited data exists on the application of ODX in node positive pts. We review our experience with RS along the continuum of nodal burden. Methods: A prospective database of pts with breast cancer for whom ODX RS was obtained for treatment planning was reviewed by final surgical pathology. Patients were grouped into four pathologic categories: negative sentinel lymph node [N0(i-)], isolated tumor cells [N0(i+)] , micro-metastasis [N1mic] and macro-macrometastasis [N1, 1-3 + nodes] . P values were calculated using the exact Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test. Results: 637 pts were identified in the study period: 521 (81.8%) pts had negative sentinel lymph nodes; 54 (8.5%) pts had isolated tumor cells (N0(i+)); 29 (4.6%) pts had N1mic, and 33 (5.2%) had N1 disease (Table). Median age overall was 58yrs, median invasive tumor size was 1.5cm; 475 (91.2%) had ductal histology. Median RS for the study pts was 17 (range 0-85), and increasing RS had no correlation to increasing nodal burden (p=0.23). Pathologic factors associated with nodal status were lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and histology. The frequency of LVI was higher with increasing nodal burden (p 〈 0.0001). Ductal histology was significantly associated with abnormal nodal findings. (p = 0.002). Age, mitotic rate, grade and degree of ER-positive staining on IHC were not significantly associated with sentinel lymph node status (p 〉 0.05). Conclusions: Tumor size, histology and LVI were significant predictors of increased nodal burden. However, ODX RS was neither predictive nor reflective of increasing nodal disease. RS is a potentially useful tool in adjuvant systemic treatment decisions in patients with positive lymph nodes but should not impact decisions regarding local-regional therapy. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: The Florida Initiative for Quality Cancer Care (FIQCC) comprises 11 Florida practice sites that participate in comprehensive reviews of quality of care specific to patients with cancer. Here, we examined site adherence to performance indicators to assess quality of care for patients with breast cancer (BC). Methods: Quality indicators were scripted on the basis of accepted guidelines from the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative, National Comprehensive Cancer Network, American College of Surgeons, and site-specific expert panel consensus. Comprehensive chart reviews, including both medical and surgical oncology quality measures, were conducted for patients with BC first seen in 2006 by a medical oncologist at one of the sites. Statistical comparisons were made by the Pearson χ 2 exact test, using Monte Carlo estimation. Results: Charts of 622 patients were reviewed. Of the 34 indicators, seven for medical oncology and four for surgical oncology fell below the 85% level of adherence. A statistically significant difference (P 〈 .001) in variation of performance across the sites was found for the following medical and surgical oncology indicators: documentation of menopausal status, family history, informed consent, planned chemotherapy regimen and flow sheet, American Joint Committee on Cancer staging, HER2/neu status, reporting of margin orientation and inking of the margins, histological grade, having a sentinel lymph node biopsy for invasive BC, and obtaining a mammogram within 14 months of definitive surgery. Conclusion: The FIQCC has identified how multiple aspects of BC care can be improved. Findings are being used at the participating institutions to guide quality improvement efforts.

    Abstract: Audit and feedback have been widely used to enhance the performance of various medical practices. Non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common diseases encountered in medical oncology practice. We investigated the use of audit and feedback to improve the care of NSCLC. Methods: Medical records were reviewed for patients with NSCLC first seen by a medical oncologist in 2006 (n = 518) and 2009 (n = 573) at 10 oncology practices participating in the Florida Initiative for Quality Cancer Care. In 2008, feedback from 2006 audit results was provided to practices, which then independently undertook steps to improve their performance. Sixteen quality-of-care indicators (QCIs) were evaluated on both time points and were examined for changes in adherence over time. Results: A statistically significant increase in adherence was observed for five of 16 QCIs. Adherence to brain staging using magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography scan for stage III NSCLC (57.8% in 2006 v 82.8% in 2009; P = .001), availability of chemotherapy flow sheet (89.2% v 97.0%; P 〈 .001), documentation of performance status for stage III and IV disease (43.4% v 51.3%; P 〈 .001), availability of pathology report for patients undergoing surgery (95.2% v 99.2%; P = .02), and availability of signed chemotherapy consent (69.5% v 76.3%; P = .04). There were no statistically significant decreases in adherence on any QCIs. Conclusion: Audit with feedback was associated with a modest but important improvement in the treatment of NSCLC. Whether these changes are durable will require long-term follow-up.
