9579 Background: Soft tissue sarcomas account for less than 1% of all malignancies; 10% of them arise in the retroperitoneal tissues. Surgical resection is considered as the most important treatment but it is often difficult to perform because of late presentation, anatomical conditions and invasion of adjacent structures. Adjuvant treatments have limited efficacy. Methods: We evaluate two year survival rate and safety profile of multimodal treatment in retroperitoneal sarcomas. Between Jan 1999 - Dec 2003, 37 patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas were treated in our institution. Median age 48.2 years (range 20 - 70), sex ratio M:F - 15:22, PS ECOG 0:1:2 - 25:8:4, tumor grading G1:G2:G3 - 8:14:15. Surgery was performed in 34 cases (29 complete resection, 5 partial resection) and 3 patients were only biopsied. All the patients received adjuvant radiochemotherapy and 4 more chemotherapy cycles thereafter. The chemotherapy regimen consisted of Ifosfamide 1,500 mg/sqm/day day 1–5 with mesna uroprotection and Epirubicin 50 mg/sqm day 1, repeated on days 29–33 during RT. They received external beam RT up to 45 - 50 Gy, conventional fractionation. The Ifosfamide and Epirubicin doses were increased at 1,800 mg/sqm and 75 mg/sqm respectively after chemoradiotherapy if no grade 3–4 toxicities occurred. Results: The overall 2 year survival rate was 70.27%. The 2 year survival rate was 100% - 71.43% - and 53.33% for G1, G2 and G3 tumors respectively; the figures are 82.75% - 40% and 0% for complete resection, partial resection and diagnostic biopsy respectively. All patients received the intended treatment. There were only 8 cycle delays for grade 3 toxicities. 6 patients had grade 3–4 hematological toxicities and 4 patients had grade 3–4 digestive toxicities. Retroperitoneal fibrosis occurred in 3 cases. Conclusions: This combined modality treatment can be successfully delivered. We have no major toxicities. We obtained similar results as cited in the literature. Better results could be obtained with newer radiation techniques (conformal RT or IMRT). No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e20035 Background: The prognosis difference among lung adenocarcinoma patients with different pathological subtypes remains controversial. Furthermore, the appropriate surgical plan according to each subtype for early-staged adenocarcinoma patients is undetermined. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with solid, papillary and acinar lung carcinoma from 2004 to 2015 using SEER*Stat 8.3.4. The primary readout of this study were overall survival (OS). The Kaplan–Meier method was used to determine OS. Results: 2282 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were finally included (solid, N = 117, papillary, N = 739, acinar, N = 1426). For patients received radical resection (lobectomy/bilobectomy, radical and extended pneumonectomy), those with acinar adenocarcinoma had the best survival (median OS: solid, 59 months, papillary, 91 months, acinar,102 months, solid VS papillary, P = 0.258, solid VS acinar, P = 0.014, papillary VS acinar, P = 0.008). For early diagnosed patients in stage I, those with acinar adenocarcinoma who received radical resection had a better OS compared to those received partial resection (wedge resection and segmentectomy) (median OS: wed&seg, 88 months, radical 106 months, P = 0.024). Particularly, patients underwent radical resection or segmentectomy had a better OS compared to those received wedge resection (mean OS of seg: 99.175±5.336 months; median OS: wed, 67 months, radical, 106 months, wed VS radical, P = 0.001, wed VS seg P = 0.026, seg VS radical, P = 0.353), while those treated with radical resection had comparable prognosis compared with patients with segmentectomy. As for patients with stage I papillary adenocarcinoma, those who received partial resection tended to have a worse prognosis compared to those who received lobectomy, although no significant difference was detected (median OS: wed&seg, 74 months, radical 111 months, P = 0.151. N of patients: wed, N = 72, seg, N = 20, radical, N = 415). Conclusions: Patients with acinar lung adenocarcinoma have a better prognosis than solid and papillary adenocarcinoma patients after radical resection. For patients with stage I acinar adenocarcinoma, segmentectomy and radical resection have similar therapeutic effects. For patients with stage I papillary adenocarcinoma, radical resection is the first option.

Abstract. This article analyses if and to what extent gender differences exist in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) therapy. For this purpose Medline (PubMed) was searched from January 1999 to January 2018. Keywords were: “abdominal aortic aneurysm”, “gender”, “prevalence”, “EVAR”, and “open surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm”. Regardless of open or endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, women have a higher rate of complications and longer hospitalizations compared to men. The majority of studies showed that women have a lower survival rate for surgical and endovascular treatment of abdominal aneurysms after both elective and emergency interventions. Women receive less surgical/interventional and protective medical treatment. Women seem to have a higher risk of rupture, a lower survival rate in AAA, and a higher rate of complications, regardless of endovascular or open treatment. The gender differences may be due to a higher age of women at diagnosis and therapy associated with higher comorbidity, but also because of genetic, hormonal, anatomical, biological, and socio-cultural differences. Strategies for treatment in female patients must be further defined to optimize outcome.
