107 Background: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) Hodgkin lymphoma survivors are at high risk for long-term and late effects. Post-treatment guidelines are available from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and others; however, adherence to these guidelines is unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify AYA Hodgkin survivors from an integrated health care system and examine use of post-treatment services. Methods: We identified patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010, ages 15 to 39. We identified use of NCCN recommended services (oncology visits, labs, CT) and non-recommended services (PET scan, CT after first year). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associations between receipt of recommended services within first 12 months post-treatment (oncology visits, labs, CT) and patient (gender, race/ethnicity) and cancer characteristics (stage, diagnosis age, diagnosis year). Results: We identified 354 patients (see table). Almost all had recommended oncology visits within the first 5 years (96%); 70% received recommended labs. Two-thirds received a recommended CT scan within 12 months post- treatment. However, 47% received a non-recommended CT in year 2 and 35% in year 3, and 33% received a non-recommended PETs. Overall, 48% received all recommended care within the first 12 months. Diagnosis year was significant in regression, with those diagnosed 2000-2005 less likely to receive recommended care than those diagnosed 2006-2010 (OR = 0.007, p < .0001). Conclusions: Less than half of patients received recommended care within the first year post-treatment. These results will inform development of effective programs to meet survivors’ needs. Next steps include exploring risk-stratified patterns of care in long-term survivors. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Few studies have addressed colon cancer surgery outcomes in an unselected cohort of octogenarian patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the relative survival of octogenarian patients after a major resection of colon cancer with a curative intent. Methods All patients diagnosed with colon cancer at Levanger Hospital between 1980 and 2016 were included. We performed logistic regression to test for associations between 100-day mortality and explanatory variables. We performed a relative survival analysis to identify factors associated with short- and long-term survival.Results Among 239 octogenarian patients treated with major resections with curative intent, the 100-day mortality was 10.1%. Among 215 patients that survived the first 100 days, the five-year relative survival rate was 99.7%. The 100-day mortality of octogenarian patients was significantly shorter than that of younger patients, but the long-term survival converged with that of younger patients. Among octogenarian patients, the incidence of colon cancer more than doubled during our 37-year observation period. The relative increase in patients undergoing surgery exceeded the increase in incidence; hence, more patients were selected for surgery over time. A high 100-day mortality was associated with older age, a high American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score, and emergency surgery. Moreover, worse long-term survival was associated with a high Charlson Comorbidity Index, a high ASA score, a worse TNM stage, emergency surgery and residual tumours. Both the 100‑day and long-term survival rates improved over time. Conclusion Among octogenarian patients with colon cancer that underwent major resections with curative intent, the 100-day mortality was high, but after surviving 100 days, the relative long-term survival rate was comparable to that of younger patients. Further improvements in survival will primarily require measures to reduce the 100-day mortality risk.
