ObjectivesElderly endometrial cancer patients have worse disease-specific survival than their younger counterparts, but the cause for this discrepancy is unknown. The goal of this analysis is to compare outcomes by age in a fully staged elderly endometrial cancer population.Methods/MaterialsThis is an analysis of patients on Gynecologic Oncology Group Study (GOG) LAP2, which included clinically early stage endometrial cancer patients randomized to laparotomy versus laparoscopy for surgical staging. Patients were divided into risk groups based on criteria defined by GOG protocol 99. Differences in outcomes and adjuvant therapy were assessed within these risk groups.ResultsLAP2 included 715 patients 70 years or older. With increasing age, worse tumor characteristics were seen. Older patients received similar rates of adjuvant therapy when stratified by stage. Patients 70 years or older had significantly worse progression-free survival and overall survival, and on multivariate analysis, older age and high-risk uterine factors were predictors of progression-free survival and overall survival, whereas stage and lymph node metastases were not. When patients were divided into GOG protocol 99 risk categories, most of those who met the high-intermediate risk criteria did so based on age above 70 years and grade 2 to 3 disease. These patients had low risk of recurrence (3.3%) compared with those who met the criteria by age above 70 years and all 3 uterine factors (20.9%).ConclusionsIn early stage endometrial cancer, patients 70 years or older who undergo similar surgical management and adjuvant therapy, age and tumor characteristics independently predict recurrence. Most patients older than 70 years meet the high-intermediate risk criteria for recurrence based on age and 1 other uterine risk factor, and our results suggest that these patients are at low risk for recurrence.

5590 Background: The primary treatment for early stage endometrial cancer includes definitive surgical staging procedure followed by adjuvant therapy in women with high risk of recurrence. The optimal interval time between surgery and adjuvant therapy is unclear. Methods: 349,404 patients with primary uterine carcinoma diagnosed from 2004 and 2012 were extracted from National Cancer Database (NCDB). Study population was limited to patients with FIGO 2009 stage I and II endometrial cancer with endometroid, mucinous, clear cell, or serous histology. Adjuvant therapy included radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination. A binary variable of interval time between surgery and adjuvant therapy (“early” vs. “delayed”) was created by using the median time as a cutoff. Analysis of relationship between the interval time and overall survival was performed. Results: Final analysis included 118,373 early stage endometrial cancer patients who had definitive surgical treatment. Median age was 61 (interquartile range 55-69). 87,189 patients (74%) had stage IA disease, 21,573 (18%) patients had stage IB disease, and 9,611 (8%) patients had stage II disease. 28,824 (24%) patients received adjuvant therapy after surgery. The median time from surgery to adjuvant therapy was 1.6 months (interquartile range 1.3-2.2 months). Of the patients that received adjuvant therapy, 48% received intra-vaginal brachytherapy alone, 31% received pelvic external beam radiation, and 7% received a combination of chemotherapy and brachytherapy. There was a significant difference in overall survival in patients who received adjuvant therapy within 1.6 months from surgery and 1.6 months after surgery (Log-rank test, p = 0.04). Patients with advanced age, African-American or Hispanic race, and uninsured status or government-sponsored insurance were associated with delayed treatments. Conclusions: In this large retrospective review of early stage endometrial cancer patients, delayed time between surgery and adjuvant therapy is associated with worse overall survival. Further analysis will be performed to determine an optimal timing between surgery and adjuvant therapy.

e17567 Background: Early-stage endometrial cancer (EEC) with FIGO stage I-II generally has a favorable prognosis and overall survival (OS). However, up to 10% of EEC patients (pts) relapse and risk factors for recurrence remain unclear. We evaluated clinical and histopathologic characteristics of EEC and correlated them with OS and recurrence free survival (RFS) through a single-center retrospective analysis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review on 511 pts with EEC identified by our cancer registry from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2019. The two main histologic groups were endometrioid adenocarcinomas (E) and other subtypes (O) including carcinosarcoma, undifferentiated, and clear cell carcinomas. Papillary serous histology was excluded. Histopathologic and clinical findings recorded included age, FIGO stage and grade, tumor size, presence of recurrence, adjuvant therapies received, percent of myometrial invasion (MI), and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). OS and RFS were estimated, and each predictor was compared using the log-rank test. The association between OS and each continuous characteristic was examined using the Cox proportional hazards model. Factors significantly associated with OS and RFS in the univariable analysis (p < 0.05) were included in a multivariable analysis to examine the joint effects of those factors on survival. Results: A total of 511 cases were reviewed. The analysis included 501 pts (E = 485, O = 16), of which 47 had recurrent disease (E = 45, O = 2) and 17 had died without recurring (E = 15, O = 2) as of their last follow-up. Overall median age was 63 years. Factors significantly associated with recurrence in the multivariable analysis were FIGO grade, (Hazard Ratios (HR): Grade 2 vs 1: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.06-3.58, p = 0.0320, Grade 3 vs 1: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.50-5.52, p = 0.0015), LVI (HR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.10-3.75, p = 0.0244), and greater than 50% of MI (HR: 3.15, 95% CI: 1.35-7.36, p = 0.0080). The overall RFS was 92% and 86% at three and five years, respectively. On univariate analysis, among pts with a measurable tumor size (n = 446), larger tumors were not significantly associated with OS (p = 0.65) but was associated with increased recurrence (HR 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10-1.37, for a unit increase, p = 0.0003). On univariate analysis, pts who received adjuvant therapy were more likely to recur (p = 0.0002) with RFS of 86% and 76% at three and five years respectively, versus RFS of 94% and 90%, for those who did not. Conclusions: We confirmed the clinical and histopathologic characteristics that are currently considered to increase risk of recurrence in EEC. On multivariate analysis, risk of recurrence was associated with FIGO grades 2 and 3, presence of LVI, and > 50% MI. A limitation of this study is the lack of molecular analysis. Further molecular stratification may help us identify the subset of pts who are at high risk of recurrence, enabling customized adjuvant therapy in EEC.
