Introduction. Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract and the third most common gastrointestinal tract malignancy. This study examines a large cohort of GBC patients in the United States in an effort to define demographics, clinical, and pathologic features impacting clinical outcomes. Methods. Demographic and clinical data on 22,343 GBC patients was abstracted from the SEER database (1973–2013). Results. GBC was presented most often among Caucasian (63.9%) females (70.7%) as poorly or moderately differentiated (42.5% and 38.2%) tumors, with lymph node involvement (88.2%). Surgery alone was the most common treatment modality for GBC patients (55.0%). Combination surgery and radiation (10.6%) achieved significantly longer survival rates compared to surgery alone (4.0±0.2 versus 3.7±0.1 years, p=0.004). Overall mortality was 87.0% and cancer-specific mortality was 75.4%. Conclusions. GBC is an uncommon malignancy that presents most often among females in their 8th decade of life, with over a third of cases presenting with distant metastasis. The incidence of GBC has doubled in the last decade concurrent with increases in cholecystectomy rates attributable in part to improved histopathological detection, as well as laparoscopic advances and enhanced endoscopic techniques. Surgical resection confers significant survival benefit in GBC patients.

Abstract Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumor in the United States with previous studies showing the incidence varied by age, sex, and race or ethnicity. Survival after diagnosis has also been shown to vary by these factors. Also, socioeconomic status and its association with various cancers have also been studied at length over time. PURPOSE: The purpose of our research was to quantify the differences in incidence and survival rates of gliomas in 15 years and older by income level. METHODS: This population-based study obtained incidence and survival data from the Incidence-SEER Research Database the general population. Average age incidence were generated by glioma groups and grouped by income levels. Survival rates were generated by overall glioma diagnosis grouped by observed survival at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months and by again by income levels. The analysis included 94,207 patients with glioma diagnosed in those aged 15 years or older. RESULTS: Overall, 94, 207 patients diagnosed with glioma were analyzed. Of these, 1,089 (1.16%) fell into the < $35k group, 1,684 (1.79%) in the $35k-$40k group, 3,473 (3.69%) in the $40k-$45k group, 5,647 (5.99%) in the $45k-$50k group, 7,138 (7.58%) in the $50k-$55k group, 6,468 (6.87%) in the $55k-$60k group, 15,348 (16.29%) in the $60k-$65k group, 13,216 (14.03%) in the $65k-$70k group, 9,035 (9.59%) in the $70k-$75k group, and 31,109 (33.02%) fell in > $75k group. The data was also broken further down into survivability showing average survival. CONCLUSION: Incidence of glioma and 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 month survival rates after diagnosis vary significantly by income level with higher income level greater than $75,000+ having higher incidence and higher survival rates compared with lower income levels. Further research is needed to help determine risk factors and barriers to care to help reveal health disparities.

Abstract There have been no prior large population-based studies focusing on cutaneous lymphomas (CL) in the United States. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program data, we analyzed age-adjusted CL incidence rates (IRs) and survival rates by sex and race/ethnicity. There were 3884 CLs diagnosed during 2001-2005. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) accounted for 71% (age-adjusted incidence rate [IR] = 7.7/1 000 000 person-years), whereas cutaneous B-cell lymphomas(CBCLs) accounted for 29% (IR = 3.1/1 000 000 person-years). Males had a statistically significant higher IR of CL than females (14.0 vs 8.2/1 000 000 person-years, respectively; male-female IR ratio [M/F IRR] = 1.72; P < .001). CL IRs were highest among blacks and non-Hispanic whites (both 11.5/1 000 000 person-years), followed by Hispanic whites (7.9) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (7.1). The CTCL IR was highest among blacks (10.0/1 000 000 person-years), whereas the CBCL IR was highest among non-Hispanic whites (3.5). Over the past 25 years, the CL IR increased from 5.0/1 000 000 person-years during 1980-1982 to 14.3 during 2001-2003. During 2004-2005, the CL IR was 12.7. This recent apparent change could be incomplete case ascertainment or potential leveling off of IRs. CLs rates vary markedly by race and sex, supporting the notion that they represent distinct disease entities.

9555 Background: Ipilimumab was approved by FDA in March 2011 for the treatment of Metastatic Melanoma. We conducted this study to compare survival outcome in patients with Metastatic Melanoma in pre- (1973-2010) and post- (2011-2013) ipilimumab era in the United States using U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) registry database. Methods: We selected patients with metastatic melanoma age ≥ 20 years from the SEER database. We used SEER 18 registry database to evaluate relative survival (RS) rate during 1973-2010 and 2011-2013. The RS rate at 1year and 2 year were analyzed for cohorts by age (20-49 years, 50-74 and ≥75 years), race [White, African American (AA), and others] and gender. The RS rates (%) accompany standard error (SE). We used SEER Stat software for statistical analysis. Results: There were a total of 129,362 (106,516 and 22,846 in pre and post ipilimumab era) metastatic melanoma patients, male (n = 71,220), female (n = 58,142), white (n = 121,843), AA (n = 854) other (n = 1,315) reported in the registry. RS in pre vs post-ipilimumab era for age group 20-49 was: 96.50 ± 0.1% vs 97.20 ±0.3%, P = 0.013; and 94.10 ± 0.1% to 95.60 ±0.40, P = 0.0009; for age group 50-74 was: 94.10 ± 0.1% vs 95.30 ± 0.2%, P = 0.0001; and 90.70 ± 0.1%vs 92.90 ± 0.3%, P = 0.0001; and for age group ≥75 was 90.80 ± 0.3% vs 91.40 ± 0.7%, P = 0.23; and 85.0 ± 0.4% vs 88.10 ± 1.0%, P = 0.011 at 1 and 2 years respectively. Overall RS in pre and post ipilimumab era for white population was: 93.83 ± 0.16% vs 94.567 ± 0.4%, P = 0.017; and 90.0 ± 0.2% vs 92.033 ± 0.6%, P = 0.0008 at 1 and 2 years respectively. Similarly RS for AA was: 78.07 ± 2.93% vs 73.33 ± 8.23%, P = 0.37; and 65.87 ± 3.47% vs 65.33 ± 9.73%, P = 0.94; and for other race was: 85.2 ± 2.13% vs 77.97 ± 5.6%, P = 0.04; and 74.43 ± 5.2% vs 69.67 ± 6.7%, P = 0.1 at 1 year and 2 years. Conclusions: Our study showed that younger (20-74 years) patients with metastatic melanoma have improvement in 1 and 2-year RS rates in post ipilimumab era. Subgroup analysis by race showed no improvement in RS in AA and other races patients during this period. There was also no significant survival benefit seen in older (≥ 75 years) patients of all races and gender in post ipilimumab era.

Background: Sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (sport SCA) has always attracted attention and the United States and European Union have developed divergent strategies for prevention over the last decade; notably regarding screening of younger athletes but also for SCA prevention in middle-aged and senior individuals. In this context, the extent to which outcomes of sports SCA differ between Europe and the USA have not been characterized. Methods: SCA cases aged 15-75 years were identified in two large prospective, population-based SCA programs, one in the Paris region (Paris-SDEC) and the other in a Northwestern US metro region (Oregon-SUDS) between 2002 and 2012. Cases of SCA, occurring during sports activity were compared between the two regions. Results: Of the 7,357 cases studied, 290 (4%) occurred during sports, with very similar proportions in both regions: 86 out of 1,894 (4.5%) in Oregon and 204 out of 5,463 (3.8%) in Paris. Subjects’ characteristics of cases in both programs were very similar (Paris vs. Oregon, respectively, for all results following), regarding age (50.7±14 vs. 50.4±13 years, P=0.55), male proportion (94%vs. 92%, P=0.53), past medical history of ≥2 cardiovascular risk factors (16% vs. 23%, P=0.16) and/or heart disease (10% vs. 8%, P=0.55). There was a high proportion of witnessed events in both populations (89% vs. 90%, P=0.94). However, we observed significant differences with more bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Paris (63% vs. 48%, P=0.02), faster response time in Oregon (8.3±6 vs. 6.9±4 min, P=0.05), and more initially shockable rhythms in Oregon (52% vs. 70%, P=0.006). Overall, resuscitation outcomes were very similar for return of spontaneous circulation (26% vs. 33%, P=0.21) and survival to hospital discharge (27% vs. 26%, P=0.80). Conclusions: On either side of the Atlantic, burden and characteristics of sports-related SCA are very similar. Survival rates are approximately one in four cases. Optimizing bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates and emergency response times could further improve outcomes. Deployment of uniform, effective strategies for screening and prevention are likely to make the greatest impact on sports SCA.

Abstract Reporting of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) and chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMDs) to population-based cancer registries in the United States was initiated in 2001. In this first analysis of data from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), encompassing 82% of the US population, we evaluated trends in MDS and CMD incidence, estimated case numbers for the entire United States, and assessed trends in diagnostic recognition and reporting. Based on more than 40 000 observations, average annual age-adjusted incidence rates of MDS and CMD for 2001 through 2003 were 3.3 and 2.1 per 100 000, respectively. Incidence rates increased with age for both MDS and CMD (P < .05) and were highest among whites and non-Hispanics. Based on follow-up data through 2004 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, overall relative 3-year survival rates for MDS and CMD were 45% and 80%, respectively, with males experiencing poorer survival than females. Applying the observed age-specific incidence rates to US Census population estimates, approximately 9700 patients with MDS and 6300 patients with CMD were estimated for the entire United States in 2004. MDS incidence rates significantly increased with calendar year in 2001 through 2004, and only 4% of patients were reported to registries by physicians' offices. Thus, MDS disease burden in the United States may be underestimated.
