e16240 Background: Germline pathogenetic mutations in BRCA1/2 genes are described in pancreatic cancer patients (PCP) in about 5–9% of cases. The purpose of this study was to determine their relevance in an unselected consecutive cohort of PCP describing family and clinical history. Methods: Patients (pts) were recruited at a single cancer center from September 2019 to October 2020. Participants provided blood for DNA analysis; cancer family history and treatment records were reviewed; DNA was analyzed by Next Generation Sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for germline variants in BRCA1/2 Results: 69 pts were included, 61 (88,4%) with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer received first line chemotherapy and 38 (62%) were full eligible for BRCA analysis; 8 out of 69 pts were BRCA screened even if in adjuvant setting, 10 patients are still under evaluation. Out of the 38 first line screened PCP germline BRCA mutations were found in 9 (19%): 4 pts (8,7%) with pathogenetic BRCA-2 variants (subgroup 1 – S1) and 5 pts (10,8%) with variants of unknown significances (VUSs), i.e. c.5339T>C and c.5096G>A in BRCA1 (subgroup 2 – S2). Samples from 29 pts were established as BRCA wild-type (subgroup 3 – S3). Pathogenetic BRCA-2 variants were observed in 2 male and 2 female (median age, 61.5 years, range 48-69), 3 out 4 without family history of breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer, one patient (pt) had ovarian cancer family history. All pts had a negative personal history of others cancers. All S1 pts received FOLFIRINOX regimen achieving one complete response, 2 partials responses and 1 disease progression with RECIST criteria. The S2 included 2 male and 3 female (median age, 61 years, range 45-70) 2 with family history of pancreatic cancer, no pt had personal history of others cancers; 2 pts had stable disease and 3 disease progression receiving platinum-based regimen (4 pts) and gemcitabine/nabpaclitaxel (1 pt), respectively. Platinum responders were observed only in the well known pathogenetic BRCA-2 variants group with twice a median progression-free survival (PFS, months -ms-) as compared to the one observed in VUSs group. (>6 C.I. 95% 2- >12 ms; vs 3 ms, 95% C.I. 3-12 ms). S3 included 9 male and 20 female, (median age, 66 years, range 42-78); 5 pts had family history of pancreatic or breast cancer, 5 pts had a personal history of other cancers (breast and thyroid). In this group,16 pts received a platinum based regimen and 12 pts have been treated without platinum based regimen. Conclusions: Our results suggest that: 1) BRCA pathogenetic mutations rate (8,7%) is in line with literature data and seems not to be related with family or personal history, and to be associated with a better outcome; 2) No BRCA mutations were detected in patients over 70 years. 3) VUSs subgroup do not seem to benefit from platinum-regimen.

e16729 Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PADC) remains one of the most fatal malignancies with poor outcomes and prognosis. Several risk factors have been associated with its development such as smoking, age, obesity, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and a family history of PADC. Furthermore, recent pathologic studies demonstrated that fatty infiltration of the pancreas (FP) is positively correlated with PADC development. We sought to systematically review the literature and perform the first meta-analysis to study the risk of PADC among patients with FP. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the Pubmed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception through November-2019 for studies correlating FP with PADC. Relevant data was extracted and analyzed using comprehensive meta-analysis software. Random-effects model was used for all variables. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 measure and Cochrane Q-statistic. Publication bias was assessed using Egger’s test. Meta regression models accounting for independent variables such as age, sex, smoking, family history of PADC, chronic pancreatitis and method of FP diagnosis were constructed to explain heterogeneity. Results: Five observational case-control studies published between 2014 and 2019 including a total of 761 patients (320 PADC patients and 441 controls) were included. FP was associated with increased PADC with an OR 4.6 (CI 2.4-8.9) compared to controls with a considerable heterogeneity (I2= 69%). Meta regression analysis accounting for modality used to diagnose FP was able to explain 100% of the noted heterogeneity. Conclusions: While we noted FP to be significantly associated with increased PADC, heterogeneity in FP diagnostic approach resulted in significant inter-study variation. A consensus on a clear definition of FP with a standardized diagnostic approach is needed to better appraise literature on this emerging disease entity. Further prospective studies are needed to validate our results and explore the possible role for PADC screening in FP in addition to known factors such as family history and new-onset diabetes mellitus.

15044 Background: The objective of the current study was to examine the impact of a family history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PCA) on the outcome of patients receiving adjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Patients and Methods: Between August 1993 and February 2005, 902 patients underwent PD for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Following PD, 405 patients received no adjuvant CRT, while 346 patients received CRT. Another 151 patients were excluded because they received protocol treatment, neoadjuvant CRT, or were lost to follow-up. Patients who received adjuvant CRT were treated with 5-FU (97.4%) based CRT (median dose 50 Gy) and maintenance 5-FU or gemcitabine. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and differences in survival were examined using the log-rank test. Cox regression analysis was used to control for family history. Results: Of the 751 patients included in the study, 158 (21%) patients had a known family history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (only one family member n=119; >=2 either first or second degree relatives, n=39). Clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with a family history of PCA were similar to those of patients who did not have a family history (age, race, positive lymph node status, primary tumor size, and proportion receiving adjuvant CRT; all P>0.05). In an analysis of the entire patient cohort, adjuvant CRT was associated with an improvement in median overall survival compared with no adjuvant CRT (21.0 months vs. 14.6 months, respectively; P= 0.001). Family history of PCA (>=1 family member) was not associated with overall survival (positive family history, 20.0 months vs. negative family history, 17.3 months; P = 0.12). Family history of PCA also did not modify the effect of CRT on overall survival. Specifically, on multivariate analysis, after stratifying on family history (>=1 family member), CRT remained significantly associated with an improved survival (Hazard ratio=0.71; P=0.001). Conclusion: Adjuvant 5-FU based CRT improves the median survival of patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The improvement in median survival associated with adjuvant CRT was independent of a familial history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Purpose An ASCO provisional clinical opinion (PCO) offers timely clinical direction to ASCO’s membership and other health care providers. This PCO addresses identification and management of patients and family members with possible predisposition to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods ASCO convened an Expert Panel and conducted a systematic review of the literature published from January 1998 to June 2018. Results of the databases searched were supplemented with hand searching of the bibliographies of systematic reviews and selected seminal articles and contributions from Expert Panel members’ curated files. Provisional Clinical Opinion All patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma should undergo assessment of risk for hereditary syndromes known to be associated with an increased risk for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Assessment of risk should include a comprehensive review of family history of cancer. Individuals with a family history of pancreatic cancer affecting two first-degree relatives meet criteria for familial pancreatic cancer (FPC). Individuals (cancer affected or unaffected) with a family history of pancreatic cancer meeting criteria for FPC, those with three or more diagnoses of pancreatic cancer in same side of the family, and individuals meeting criteria for other genetic syndromes associated with increased risk for pancreatic cancer have an increased risk for pancreatic cancer and are candidates for genetic testing. Germline genetic testing for cancer susceptibility may be discussed with individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, even if family history is unremarkable. Benefits and limitations of pancreatic cancer screening should be discussed with individuals whose family history meets criteria for FPC and/or genetic susceptibility to pancreatic cancer.

Aim. To examine interaction between history of cancer in first-degree relatives and tobacco smoking in index patients of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.Methods. We carried out a case-control involving 113 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and 110 controls over a 12-month period at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. They were all administered a detailed tobacco exposure questionnaire and a family history questionnaire. We calculated cumulative tobacco exposure and risk for pancreas cancer.Results. Both smokers (OR 3.01 (95% CI: 1.73 to 5.24)) and those with a family history of malignancy (OR 1.98 (95% CI: 1.15–3.38)) were more likely to develop pancreatic cancer. Having more than one first-degree relative with cancer did not significantly further increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Amongst pancreatic cancer cases, cumulative tobacco exposure was significantly decreased () in the group of smokers (current and ex-smokers) who had a family history of malignancy [mean (SD): 30.00 (24.77) pack-years versus 44.69 (28.47) pack-years with no such history].Conclusions. Individuals with a family history of malignancy are at an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, individuals with a family history of malignancy and who smoke appear to require a lesser degree of tobacco exposure for the development of pancreatic cancer.

10599 Background: Pancreatic cancer is the 7th most common cause of cancer death worldwide and is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer death in the next decade. Personalized care is becoming more of a reality with pharmacological regimens targeting specific genetic mutations. In March 2019, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines were updated to recommend germline testing (GT) in all patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) considering 1 in 10 may have a germline mutation (GM). The goal of this study was to quantify compliance with these recently updated guidelines. Methods: The electronic medical records and survivorship data of all patients diagnosed with PDAC between January 1, 2017 and October 1, 2020 were reviewed. April 1, 2019 was used as the transition point (TP) for guideline updates. Descriptive statistics for all variables were determined. The rate of ordered referrals to genetic counseling (GC), as well as completion rate, was calculated. Results: A total of 304 patients were diagnosed with PDAC during the study period (223 prior to the TP). A total of 54 patients were referred for GC and 41 had GT ordered. The rate of GC referrals ordered after the TP was significantly higher than before the TP (22/81, 26.6% vs. 32/223, 14.4%; p-value 0.010). Almost 60% of patients who had genetic evaluation had private insurance. The patients who completed GT were significantly more likely to have a documented family history of cancer (61.0% vs 4.2%; p-value <.0001Patients who completed GT had more problems on their problem list (median 10 vs 7, p = 0.001). The median overall survival (OS) for all patients in the study was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.3-9.8). Conclusions: Overall compliance with the updated NCCN guidelines significantly improved; however, it was below 25%. This study showed that there may be some lingering bias toward GT in PDAC solely for those who have a family history of cancer. Although patients with stage IV PDAC have poor outcomes, GT may still improve surveillance for family members. The approval of olaparib in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations based on the POLO trial is likely to increase provider compliance as it provides a viable maintenance strategy in these patients. Patient complexity was unlikely to affect GT rate. Assessment of provider awareness was outside the scope of this study. There is need for continued advocacy for awareness and implementation of guidelines that highlight the importance of germline evaluation on prevention, surveillance, and treatment in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
