    Abstract: 5149 Background: The CTC-Chip reliably detects CTCs in patients with localized and metastatic prostate cancer. In localized disease, CTCs may be indicative of tumor invasiveness. In the metastatic setting, CTCs may be useful in monitoring response to therapy. Molecular analyses of CTCs through this minimally invasive technique may provide insights into disease behavior, whereas sampling of metastatic deposits in bone (the predominant site of prostate metastasis) is not feasible. Methods: Peripheral blood was collected from patients undergoing treatment. CTCs were captured on the CTC-Chip. Quantities were determined using cytokeratin- and PSA-based staining and enumeration. In some cases, molecular analyses for the TMPRSS2:ERG chromosomal translocation were performed using FISH in intact cells or nuclei, or RT-PCR in extracted RNA. Subgroups of patients (n) included: localized disease undergoing prostatectomy (25), and metastatic disease undergoing either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (12) or docetaxel chemotherapy (5). Results: PSA-stained CTCs were captured in all patients. In localized disease, CTC quantities fell to undetectable levels 7–14 days after surgery; some patients exhibited an immediate decline while others had a delayed decline ( 〉 24 hours). In patients with metastatic disease undergoing either ADT or chemotherapy, CTC quantities generally corresponded with changes in serum PSA and radiographic assessments. Approximately 50% of patients exhibited the TMPRSS2:ERG translocation. Conclusions: These studies are the first to use the highly sensitive CTC-Chip technology to assess dynamic changes in CTCs in patients undergoing prostatectomy, ADT, or chemotherapy. Ongoing larger studies will assess whether patterns of CTC changes predict recurrence or treatment response. Molecular characterization of CTCs may provide new insights into prostate cancer biology, clinical behavior, and therapeutic targets. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 6010 Background: Translation of evidence-based medicine into clinical practice depends on timely and full publication of clinical trials. Previous studies have shown that a substantial number of phase I and III trials presented at the annual meetings of ASCO remain unpublished more than 5 years after presentation. We investigated the outcome of phase II trials presented at ASCO. Methods: We searched for phase II trials using the 1997 ASCO Annual Meeting Proceedings. We excluded trials reporting only preliminary data or interim analyses. The following information were extracted from each study: type of presentation, country of origin, sample size, sponsor, treatment modality, novelty of treatment, and efficacy. A literature search was performed using the Medline and EMBASE databases up until January 2006 for full publications in peer-reviewed journals. If a trial was not found, the authors were contacted by E-mail. Results: We identified 124 phase II trials with 13.7%, 30.6%, and 55.6% presented orally, in poster, and in print, respectively. Most trials were either submitted from countries in North America (50.8%) or Europe (34.7%). Funding came from the pharmaceutical companies (24.2%), governments (20.2%), study institutions (15.3%), private foundations (9.7%), or was not specified (30.6%). The top 5 cancers studied were lung, breast, ovarian, gastric, and sarcoma. Treatment included mostly chemotherapy, either alone (87.1%) or in combination with other modalities (3.2%). To date only 70.2% of the trials have been published. The median time to publication for all abstracts was 23 months. The cumulative rates of publication were 12.9%, 34.7%, 51.6%, 64.5%, and 68.5% at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 years, respectively. None of the factors we analyzed, including type of presentation, country of origin, sample size, sponsor, novelty of treatment, and efficacy, influenced the likelihood of or time to publication. Conclusions: About a third of phase II oncology clinical trials initially presented as abstracts at the 1997 ASCO annual meeting have not been published almost a decade later. Similar to phase I and III trials, underreporting of phase II trials is an important problem with serious implications for clinical practice that needs to be addressed. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

    Abstract: 5565 Background: Unknown primary head and neck cancers often require comprehensive mucosal and bilateral neck irradiation. With conventional techniques, significant toxicity can develop. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has the potential to minimize toxicity. Methods: From 2000–2005, 21 patients received IMRT for unknown primary head and neck cancer at our center. Median age was 57. Clinical stages were: TxN1: 43%; TxN2b:38%; TxN2c:5%; TxN3:14%. Five patients received IMRT with primary intent and 16 as postoperative therapy. Fourteen received concurrent chemotherapy, most with cisplatin (100mg/m 2 /cycle) or carboplatin (70mg/m 2 )/ 5FU (600mg/m 2 ) every 3 weeks for 2–3 cycles. Seven received IMRT alone. Median dose was 66 Gy. PEG tube was placed in 13 patients. Toxicities were evaluated. Regional progression free survival (RPFS), distant metastases free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated with Kaplan Meier curves. Results: Grade 1 and 2 xerostomia was seen in 57% and 43%. Salivary function improved with time. By 6 months, no patient had greater than grade 1 xerostomia. Grade 1, 2, and 3 acute skin toxicity and mucositis were seen in 67%, 29%, 5% and in 33%, 52%, 14%, respectively. PEG tube was required in 72% who had combined modality and 43% with IMRT alone. Of the 13 with PEG tubes, only 3 required PEG support at the time of last follow up. For those who had PEG removed, median time with PEG was 3.8 months from the end of RT. Two patients treated with combined modality and 1 treated with IMRT alone developed esophageal strictures, but all had improvement or resolution with dilation. Two patients had persistent disease after RT and 1 had late regional failure at 39 months. Two patients developed distant metastases and died. With a median follow up of 14.3 months (5.4–73.4), 2 year RPFS, DMFS, and OS were 88.9%, 89.4%, and 84.0%. Conclusions: Preliminary analysis of IMRT for unknown primary head and neck cancer shows acceptable toxicity and encouraging efficacy. Xerostomia was a common acute complication but patients had marked improvement by 6 months. Esophageal strictures were seen but effectively treated with dilation. Techniques to limit esophageal dose may help further minimize this complication. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

    Abstract: 16506 Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare, aggressive malignancy. The potential for pathologic misclassification complicates the interpretation of published data. One treatment option for locoregionally (LR) advanced disease is weekly low-dose doxorubicin (D) with concurrent radiation therapy (RT), based on reported 2-year local control rates of 68% (ATC)/77% (other TC histologic subtypes) (Cancer 1987;60:2372). We looked to evaluate our experience with this general approach, but in a larger series which included pathologic confirmation of all ATC cases. Methods: Patients (pts) were identified through the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Radiation Oncology and Pathology Databases. Inclusion criteria: diagnosis of ATC between 1984–2006, with pathology review at MSKCC; LR disease only, able to be encompassed within a RT portal; treatment at MSKCC with planned weekly D (10 mg/m 2 ) and concurrent radiation. Prior surgery was allowed. Documentation of failure was based on clinical/radiographic assessment. Principal outcomes assessed: LR control (LRC: no failure at the primary site, in the neck, or the mediastinum), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The Kaplan-Meier method was applied. Results: Thirty-seven patients were included in our analysis (median age 64; 54% female, 46% male). Median RT dose 5760 cGy, 〉 4500 cGy in 32 (87%), administered through hyperfractionated or once-daily schedules. Median number of D treatments received 5.5, 〉 4 in 24 (65%). 2-year outcomes: LRC 25%; PFS 8%; OS 18%. 6 patients remain alive at the time of last follow-up with survival durations of 4.1, 11.4, 11.7, 57.3, 58.5, and 140.7 months, respectively. A subset analysis was performed limited to the 24 patients (65%) who completed 〉 4,500 cGy of radiation and 〉 4 doses of D. 2-year outcomes were improved in this latter group, but remained disappointing, even among these more highly selected pts (LRC 30%; PFS 11%; OS 27%). Conclusions: Better therapy is needed for this poor prognostic disease. Future analyses will evaluate the impact of histologic subtype of ATC, radiation technique/dose, and surgical resection on outcome. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

    Abstract: 9054 Background: Post-operative education of women with breast cancer is inconsistent as guidelines provide conflicting advice regarding how vigorously women can use their arm. Current post-operative advice about lymphoedema focuses on the avoidance of strenuous arm activity and exercise, but common physiotherapy practice advocate this to address possible impairments after surgery such as loss of shoulder range and weakness. Methods: A 30-minute survey based on the Protection Motivation Theory was developed to explore the relationship between patients’ perception of what they can do with their affected arm following breast cancer treatment and their intention to use their affected arm. In addition, patients’ cancer and treatment characteristics, demographics, arm and chest symptoms, and arm function were assessed by the survey. The survey was pre-tested, and then distributed to 175 consecutive breast cancer survivors at 6–15 months after breast cancer treatment. Results: Of the women surveyed, 91(52%) had sentinel node biopsies, 67 (38%) had axillary dissection, 14 (8%) had no surgery to the lymph nodes, and 3 (2%) were unknown. There was a high incidence of shoulder restriction and upper limb pain in both women who had sentinel node biopsies and women who had axillary dissections ( Table 1 ). The majority of women who had sentinel node biopsies (51%) and axillary dissections (61%) perceived it was necessary for them to avoid strenuous arm activity. Overall, women who intended to avoid strenuous arm activity were found to have a greater likelihood of reporting upper limb swelling (LR=17.6, p=0.000) and weakness (LR=10.9, p=0.001). Conclusion: Women who had sentinel node biopsies intended to avoid strenuous arm activities even though they have a negligible risk of lymphoedema, placing them at risk of developing secondary musculoskeletal problems.
