Abstract Background The aim of this study was to analyze biopsychosocial factors affecting how patients cope with cancer and adjuvant treatment and to appraise psychological distress, coping, perceived social support, quality of life and SDM before and after adjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients compared to colon cancer patients. Methods NEOcoping is a national, multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective study. The sample comprised 266 patients with colon cancer and 231 with breast cancer. The instruments used were the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer (Mini-MAC), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Shared Decision-Making Questionnaire-Patient (SDM-Q-9) and Physician’s (SDM-Q-Doc), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ). Results Breast cancer patients reacted worse to the diagnosis of cancer with more symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatization, and were less satisfied with their involvement than those with colon cancer (p = 0.003). Participants with colon cancer were older and had more physical symptoms and functional limitations at the beginning of adjuvant treatment, while there were scarcely any differences between the two groups at the end of adjuvancy, at which time both groups suffered greater psychological and physical effects and scored lower on coping strategies, except for anxious preoccupation. Conclusions Breast cancer patients need more information and involvement of the oncologist in shared decision-making, as well as and more medical and psychological support when beginning adjuvant treatment. Both breast and colon cancer patients may require additional psychological care at the end of adjuvancy.

10083 Background: The prognostic significance of DTC in the BM of breast cancer patients at the time of primary diagnosis has recently been confirmed by a large pooled analysis. If the persistence of DTC after adjuvant therapy confers a similar risk for relapse, there might be an indication for secondary adjuvant treatment. Methods: We analyzed BM aspirates of 697 patients from academic breast cancer units in Oslo (n=356), Munich (n=228) and Tuebingen (n=113) during recurrence-free follow-up at a median interval of 32.4 months (standard deviation [std] 19.4 mon) after primary diagnosis of breast cancer pT1–4, pN0–3 pM0. Carcinoma cells were detected using a standardized immunoassay with the monoclonal antibodies A45-B/B3 (Munich, Tuebingen), or AE1 and AE3 (Oslo), directed against cytokeratin (CK). Patients were followed for a median of 54.2 months (std 24.5 mon) after primary diagnosis. Results: Persistent DTC in the BM were detected in 15.6% of the patients (n=109). The Kaplan-Meier estimate for mean distant relapse-free survival estimate was 155.6 mon (142.4 - 168.9 95%CI) in patients with negative and 102.3 mon (93.6 - 111.0, 95% CI, p< .0001, log rank test) in patients with positive BM status. Patients without evidence of persistent DTC had a significantly longer overall survival (164.4 [155.6 - 173.3]), than patients with positive BM status (101.7 mon [89.4 - 113.9], p< .0001). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, allowing for bone marrow status, tumor size, nodal status, histopathological grading and hormone receptor status, DTC was of higher independent prognostic significance for subsequent reduced breast cancer specific survival (RR 5.9, 2.8 - 12.8, 95% CI, p< .0001), than nodal status at time of primary diagnosis (RR 1.2, 1.0 - 1.3, 95% CI, p=.014). Conclusion: Evidence of persistent DTC in breast cancer patients indicates an increased risk for subsequent relapse, and may serve for monitoring in future clinical trials. Such trials might investigate the benefit of individualized secondary adjuvant treatment or extended adjuvant therapy of patients with DTC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
