e15685 Background: Morbidity and mortality associated with surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains high, and prognosis is poor even after R0 resection. Preoperative chemoradiation, previously only indicated to downstage borderline-resectable disease, has been increasingly used even in cases that appear resectable at time of diagnosis. Response to therapy can be prognostic and guide clinical decision-making. We investigated significant trends over time in neoadjuvant treatment of patients within the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database treated surgically for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: We queried NSQIP data for patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy or subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in 2015-2017. We examined differences by year in neoadjuvant treatment use with Chi-square test. Results: There were 8626 patients included. Use of neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy) increased over the study period, and complication by pancreatic fistula and delayed gastric emptying decreased qualitatively over the same time (12% to 9%; 14% to 12%). This increase in use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was significant among patients with T1, T2, and T3 tumors (Table 1). However, despite NCCN/ASCO guidelines recommending neoadjuvant for all patients with T4 tumors, only about a quarter of these patients received it, and this proportion did not change over time. Conclusions: Preoperative chemotherapy is particularly important in ≥T3 disease because of low rates (50%) of adjuvant therapy, likely secondary to postoperative morbidity. The NSQIP data reflects the trend toward increasing neoadjuvant therapy in lower-T stage disease, but not among patients with T4 disease. This may be because NSQIP data largely reflects community hospital populations, and this practice was first adopted by academic institutions. Based on our findings, it is important that medical oncology be involved early in the multidisciplinary care of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.[Table: see text]

4133 Background: With the advent of FOLFIRINOX, the management of pancreatic cancer has undergone a profound change. There has been a shift to TNT with FOLFIRINOX followed by radiation and an attempt at surgical resection. Recent trials of TNT have demonstrated an ability to resect locally advanced (LA) and borderline resectable disease. There is a lack of prospective data demonstrating local and systemic recurrence rates after TNT. Methods: Two previously reported prospective clinical trials (Murphy JE, et al, JAMA Oncol 2018, 2019) of total neoadjuvant therapy were conducted between 2012 and 2018 for borderline and LA disease (NCT01591733, NCT01821729). Patients received FOLFIRINOX for 8 cycles. Upon restaging, patients with resolution of vascular involvement received short-course chemoradiotherapy (5 Gy x 5 with protons or 3 Gy x 10 w photons) with capecitabine (N=34). Patients with persistent vascular involvement received long-course chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine (N=56). All patients were considered for resection after TNT except for those patients with metastatic or unresectable disease. Results: 97 eligible patients were enrolled and started treatment on the borderline resectable (n = 48) and locally advanced (n= 49) study. 90 patients completed therapy. 80 patients were taken to the operating room. 61 patients had R0 resection and 5 patients had R1 resection. The table shows the distribution of local recurrences, local recurrences and metastatic disease, and metastatic disease alone. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years (range: 2.4-6.0), of the 61 R0 patients, 22 patients remained alive and free of disease, 7 patients had a local recurrence, 4 patients had locoregional and metastatic recurrence, and 24 patients had a metastatic recurrence. 3 patients who underwent R0 resection died of unrelated causes. Median survival for patients undergoing R0 resection is 43.8 months. Conclusions: Total neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is potentially curable and may change the pattern of spread.[Table: see text]

338 Background: Retrospective data suggest that neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer may improve the R0 resection rate and potentially survival. We examined the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on survival rates at a population level for patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: Treatment and outcome data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Medicare database for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, who underwent a curative intent pancreatectomy from 2001-2007. Patients were stratified by treatment (neoadjuvant vs no neoadjuvant therapy). Kaplan Meier curves were constructed to analyze survival. Cox proportional hazards regression models with and without propensity score weighting were performed to determine the effect of neoadjuvant therapy and race on mortality while adjusting for age, gender, race, marital status, SEER site, urban/rural location, income, education, year of diagnosis, and Charlson Comorbidity Score. Results: 2608 patients were included. 58.4% (n=1523) were between age 66-75 and 41.6% (n=1085) were age 76 or older. 94% (n=2459) did not receive neoadjuvant therapy and 6% (n=162) received neoadjuvant therapy. Patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy were 28% less likely to experience death at one year (HR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53-0.97; p=0.03). There was also a trend towards a lower risk of death in this group at 2 years (HR 0.82; 95% CI, 0.66-1.01; p=0.07). Conclusions: Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by resection had an improved one-year survival relative to patients who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy in this cohort. This effect may partially reflect the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in allowing for better selection of patients likely to benefit from surgery. To our knowledge this is the first population-based study that suggests an improved survival in patients with pancreas cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy prior to resection. [Table: see text]

Background Neoadjuvant therapy may improve survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma; however, determining response to therapy is difficult. Artificial intelligence allows for novel analysis of images. We hypothesized that a deep learning model can predict tumor response to NAC. Methods Patients with pancreatic cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy prior to pancreatoduodenectomy were identified between November 2009 and January 2018. The College of American Pathologists Tumor Regression Grades 0-2 were defined as pathologic response (PR) and grade 3 as no response (NR). Axial images from preoperative computed tomography scans were used to create a 5-layer convolutional neural network and LeNet deep learning model to predict PRs. The hybrid model incorporated decrease in carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) of 10%. Accuracy was determined by area under the curve. Results A total of 81 patients were included in the study. Patients were divided between PR (333 images) and NR (443 images). The pure model had an area under the curve (AUC) of .738 ( P < .001), whereas the hybrid model had an AUC of .785 ( P < .001). CA19-9 decrease alone was a poor predictor of response with an AUC of .564 ( P = .096). Conclusions A deep learning model can predict pathologic tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and the model is improved with the incorporation of decreases in serum CA19-9. Further model development is needed before clinical application.

231 Background: Both peri-operative chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiation have been shown to improve outcomes in patients (pts) with LA-GEJ CA compared to surgery alone. Rates of post-operative chemotherapy delivery remain suboptimal. Total neo-adjuvant therapy (TNT) in LA-GEJ CA - induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) - may improve systematic delivery of neoadjuvant therapy and result in favorable clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 135 pts with LA-GEJ CA at our institution between 2/2007 and 11/2019; pertinent clinical data were abstracted with Institutional Review Board approval. Patients treated with IC and curative-intent CRT with ≥40 Gy dose of radiation for adenocarcinoma were included in this analysis (N = 59). Doublet or triplet IC regimens utilizing 5-Flurouracil(5-FU), Cisplatin/Oxaliplatin and Docetaxel were commonly administered while combinations of Carboplatin +Paclitaxel or 5-FU + Oxaliplatin were used in CRT. Clinical complete response (CCR) was defined as metabolic imaging and endoscopic biopsies negative for residual malignancy after completion of TNT. Patients were followed from diagnosis to recurrence and overall survival. Survival probabilities were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between groups using a log-rank test. Results: Out of 59 evaluable pts, 69% were clinical stage T3, 71% were node positive. 37 pts (63%) underwent surgery, R0 resection rate was 89% (33/37), pathologic complete response (pCR) rate was 19% (7/37). Among the pts who did not undergo surgery, 41% (9/22) opted to forego surgery since they attained a CCR. For the entire cohort, median Disease-Free Survival (mDFS), median Overall Survival (mOS), and 3-yr OS were 2.4 yrs, 4.7 yrs, and 67% respectively. Pts who did not undergo surgery had a mDFS, mOS, and 3-yr OS of 1.5 yrs, 4.2 yrs, and 59% respectively. Median DFS, mOS, and 3-yr OS of patients who underwent surgery were 3.5 yrs, 5.8 yrs and 72% respectively. Patients who achieved a CCR and opted to forego surgery (N = 9) had a 3 -yr DFS of 42% vs 83% for pts (N = 7) who demonstrated a pCR after curative intent tri-modality therapy. (P = 0.0099) Interestingly, the same group that achieved CCR and opted out of surgery had 3yr OS of 89% vs 83% of those who demonstrated a pCR (p = 0.0042). Conclusions: TNT for pts with LA-GEJ CA is associated with high rates of R0 resection as well as excellent DFS and OS compared to historical controls, warranting prospective evaluation. The remarkable DFS and OS in patients who opted to forego surgery due to achieving CCR is reflective of the local and systemic control rendered by this approach. Careful characterization and close longitudinal follow-up of patients who achieve CCR may help identify a subgroup of LA-GEJ CA pts who may benefit from surgery sparing approaches.
