e15071 Background: To determine if anal cancer patients with HPV positive disease have different overall survival (OS) compared to those with HPV negative disease, and to elucidate differences in the association between radiation dose and OS. Methods: We utilized the National Cancer Database (NCDB) registry to identify a cohort of non-metastatic anal cancer patients treated with curative intent between 2008 – 2015. Propensity score matching was used to account for potential selection bias between patients with HPV positive and negative disease. Multivariable Cox regression was used to determine the association between HPV status and OS. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to compare actuarial survival estimates. Results: We identified 5,927 patients with tumor HPV status for this analysis, 3,523 (59.4%) had HPV positive disease and 2,404 (40.6%) had HPV negative disease. Propensity-matched analysis demonstrated that patients with HPV positive locally advanced (T3-4 or node positive) anal cancer had better OS (HR=0.81 (95%CI: 0.68-0.96), p=0.018). For patients with early stage disease (T1-2 and node negative) there was no difference in OS (HR=1.11 (95%CI:0.86-1.43), p=0.43). In the unmatched cohort, there was an increase in 3-year OS for patients with HPV positive tumors or early stage disease up to 45-49.9 Gy (p<0.001), whereas for patients with HPV negative and locally advanced disease there was an increase in survival from 46% at 30-44.9 Gy, to 64% at 45-49.9 Gy (p=0.093) and further to 71% at 50-54.9 Gy (p=0.005). Conclusions: We found HPV to be a significant prognostic marker in anal tumors, especially for locally advanced disease. We further found that higher radiation dose up to 50-55 Gy was associated with better OS, mainly for locally advanced disease in HPV negative patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression for OS. [Table: see text]

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) staging is challenging. There is an important need for available and affordable predictors to assess, in combination with imaging, the presence of locally-advanced disease. Objective: To determine the role of the De Ritis ratio (DRR) and neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) in the prediction of locally-advanced disease defined as the presence of extravescical extension (pT ⩾ 3) and/or lymph node metastases (LNM) in patients with BC treated with radical cystectomy (RC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and pathological data of 139 consecutive patients who underwent RC at our institution. Logistic regression models (LRMs) were fitted to test the above-mentioned outcomes. Results: A total of 139 consecutive patients underwent RC at our institution. Eighty-six (61.9%) patients had a locally-advanced disease. NLR (2.53 and 3.07; p = 0.005) and DRR (1 and 1.17; p = 0.01) were significantly higher in patients with locally-advanced disease as compared to organ-confined disease. In multivariable LRMs, an increasing DRR was an independent predictor of locally-advanced disease (OR = 3.91; 95% CI: 1.282–11.916; p = 0.017). Similarly, an increasing NLR was independently related to presence of locally-advanced disease (OR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.027–1.591; p = 0.028). In univariate LRMs, patients with DRR > 1.21 had a higher risk of locally advanced disease (OR = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.312–6.128; p = 0.008). Similarly, in patients with NLR > 3.47 there was an increased risk of locally advanced disease (OR = 3.02; 95% CI: 1.374–6.651; p = 0.006). In multivariable LRMs, a DRR > 1.21 was an independent predictor of locally advanced disease (OR = 2.66; 95% CI: 1.12–6.35; p = 0.027). Similarly, an NLR > 3.47 was independently related to presence of locally advanced disease (OR = 2.24; 95% CI: 0.95–5.25; p = 0.065). No other covariates such as gender, BMI, neoadjuvant chemotherapy or diabetes reached statistical significance. The AUC of the multivariate LRM to assess the risk of locally advanced disease was 0.707 (95% CI: 0.623–0.795). Limitations include the retrospective nature of the study and the relatively small sample size.
