    Abstract: 141 Background: Patient Reported Outcomes CTCAE (PROM) completion has demonstrated improvements in survival for patients with advanced cancer. Little is known about completion rates by race and gender for questionnaires assigned to all patients receiving IV infusions. Methods: Beginning in 2019 all patients who had a visit associated with an IV infusion were assigned a PROM PRO-CTCAE questionnaire through the EHR portal 72 hours prior to the visit and again using an in- clinic tablet if not completed upon check-in. The PROMs questionnaires are available in 6 languages via both electronic platforms. At registration, all patients self- identify as White, Black/African American, Asian or other (multiple, do not prefer to answer) by race. We collected 2021 data on all eligible patients who were assigned a questionnaire and cross referenced that by completion and self-assigned race and gender at registration. Data from breast, thoracic and GI clinics are presented. Results: 1715 patients were eligible and self-identified as White, Black or Asian for a PROM CTCAE questionnaire across the three clinics (519 breast clinic, 390 thoracic, 806 GI). 3872 questionnaires were completed (average 2.26 questionnaires per eligible patient). 2875 (73%) were completed by EHR portal and 1027 (27%) were completed in clinic on the tablet. White patients completed questionnaires 67% when assigned, Asian 68% and Black/African American 52% of the time. 81% of breast clinic patients completed questionnaires, 62% of thoracic patients and 54% of GI patients. Overall, in thoracic and GI clinics White women completed questionnaires 58%, Black women 41% and Asian women 70% compared to White men 59%, Asian men 56% and Black men 57%. All patients who completed questionnaires in breast clinic identified as women. Conclusions: We assigned PROM CTCAE questionnaires to all eligible patients who had an IV infusion encounter associated with their visits in the breast, thoracic and GI clinics by both the electronic chart portal and again in clinic by tablet, if not completed prior to the in person visit. PROM questionnaires are available in 6 languages through both methods. We identified differences in completion rates by race with fewer African American/Black patient completion rates compared to White or Asian self-identification, (52% vs 67.5%). The largest differences were between White or Asian women, 58% and 70% completion rates compared to Black women 41%. Differences in gender may explain differences across disease groups as all breast clinic patients were self-identified as female, 81% completion rate compared to 62% thoracic and 54% GI.

    Abstract: Advanced prostate cancer (PC) is associated with substantial psychosocial morbidity. We sought to determine whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) reduces distress in men with advanced PC. Methods Men with advanced PC (proven metastatic and/or castration-resistant biochemical progression) were randomly assigned to an 8-week, group-based MBCT intervention delivered by telephone (n = 94) or to minimally enhanced usual care (n = 95). Primary intervention outcomes were psychological distress, cancer-specific distress, and prostate-specific antigen anxiety. Mindfulness skills were assessed as potential mediators of effect. Participants were assessed at baseline and were followed up at 3, 6, and 9 months. Main statistical analyses were conducted on the basis of intention to treat. Results Fourteen MBCT groups were conducted in the intervention arm. Facilitator adherence ratings were high ( 〉 93%). Using random-effects mixed-regression models, intention-to-treat analyses indicated no significant changes in intervention outcomes or in engagement with mindfulness for men in MBCT compared with those receiving minimally enhanced usual care. Per-protocol analyses also found no differences between arms in outcomes or engagement, with the exception of the mindfulness skill of observing, which increased over time for men in MBCT compared with usual care ( P = .032). Conclusion MBCT in this format was not more effective than minimally enhanced usual care in reducing distress in men with advanced PC. Future intervention research for these men should consider approaches that map more closely to masculinity.

    Abstract: As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19–free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19–free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19–free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score–matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19–free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19–free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.

    Abstract: To determine if obesity is associated with higher prostate specific antigen recurrence rates after radical prostatectomy (RP), and to explore racial differences in body mass index (BMI) as a potential explanation for the disparity in outcome between black and white men. Patients and Methods A retrospective, multi-institutional pooled analysis of 3,162 men undergoing RP was conducted at nine US military medical centers between 1987 and 2002. Patients were initially categorized as obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ), overweight (BMI 25 to 30 kg/m 2 ), or normal (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m 2 ). For analysis, normal and overweight groups were combined (BMI 〈 30 kg/m 2 ) and compared with the obese group (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) with regard to biochemical recurrence (prostate-specific antigen ≥ 0.2 ng/mL) after RP. Results Of 3,162 patients, 600 (19.0%) were obese and 2,562 (81%) were not obese. BMI was an independent predictor of higher Gleason grade cancer (P 〈 .001) and was associated with a higher risk of biochemical recurrence (P = .027). Blacks had higher BMI (P 〈 .001) and higher recurrence rates (P = .003) than whites. Both BMI (P = .028) and black race (P = .002) predicted higher prostate specific antigen recurrence rates. In multivariate analysis of race, BMI, and pathologic factors, black race (P = .021) remained a significant independent predictor of recurrence. Conclusion Obesity is associated with higher grade cancer and higher recurrence rates after RP. Black men have higher recurrence rates and greater BMI than white men. These findings support the hypothesis that obesity is associated with progression of latent to clinically significant prostate cancer (PC) and suggest that BMI may account, in part, for the racial variability in PC risk.
