Purpose: Evidence on the incidence, prevalence, and outcomes of bone metastases among patients with systemic malignancy is limited. This study aimed to evaluate it using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods: We collected patients diagnosed with solid malignant tumors deriving outside of the bone, hematologic malignancies, Kaposi sarcoma, lymphoma, and myeloma from the SEER database (from 2010 to 2013). The incidence, prevalence, and outcomes of these systemic malignancies with bone metastases were then analyzed. Results: A total of 67,605 patients with bone metastases at cancer diagnosis were included. The highest rate of bone metastases was observed in patients with small-cell lung cancer at the time of alternative primary site cancer diagnosis. Among 226,816 cases with metastatic disease, cases with breast cancer (65.58%), and prostate cancer (89.60%) had a high incidence proportion (>10%) of identified bone metastases. Patients with additional bone metastases resulting from prostate cancer, breast cancer, and testis cancer presented the best survival time. Conclusions: Incidence and prognosis differ considerably among bone metastases with different primary malignancy sites. These results may encourage appropriate application of bone imaging.

Abstract Abstract 3787 Background: The natural history of CML has been irrevocably changed since the advent of TKIs with pts living longer than they ever have. Some patients have a history of previous cancers by the time they are diagnosed with CML. These pts' long-term prognosis has never been previously described. Aims: To determine the effect of prior malignancy on patient outcome after diagnosis of CML. Methods: The primary objective was to determine outcome of pts with a previous diagnosis of malignancy (PM) vs a group without (nPM). Patients included in clinical trials of TKI as initial therapy for CML in chronic phase from July 2000 to January 2011 were reviewed. Results: Of the 471 CML pts treated with frontline TKIs 47 (10%) had a PM before their CML diagnosis and 5 (1%) pts PM status could not be obtained. The median age of the patients with a PM was 60 (30–84) compared to 46 (15–86) for those with no PM. There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics between PM and nPM patients. The median from diagnosis of a PM and a diagnosis of CML was 69 months (mo) (7 mo to 707 mo). The five most common PMs were: non-melanoma skin cancer in 14 (30%), breast cancer in 10 (21%), melanoma in 5 (11%), colorectal cancer in 5 (11%), and prostate cancer in 5 (11%). “Six pts (13%) had more than one PM and 2 of those 6 had 3 PM before the diagnosis of CML, the other 4 pts had 2 PM. The PMs were treated prior to the diagnosis of CML in the following ways: 17 (36%) pts received chemotherapy for their PM, 17 (36%) received radiotherapy, and 43 (91%) received surgery. At the time of CML diagnosis 3 (6%) pts had active cancer, while the remainder of the pts with a PM were thought to be in remission. Two (4%) pts were on active therapy for their prior cancer diagnosis at the time they started on CML therapy (Tamoxifen for breast cancer in both). After the diagnosis of CML, 6 (13%) pts had a recurrence of their PM including 2 pts with basal cell cancer, and 1 each with melanoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. These recurrent malignancies were treated as follows: 3 with radiation, 2 had surgery, and 2 with chemotherapy. Five of these 6 pts continued TKI while receiving therapy for PM. The median time between diagnosis of CML and relapse of PM was 18 months. Median remission of the PM was 151 months. Also, 6 (13%) pts had a new malignancy after CML diagnosis: 2 pts with squamous skin carcinoma, and 1 each with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, papillary thyroid carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and large B-cell lymphoma. Treatments for the new onset malignancy after the diagnosis of CML include: surgery (4), chemotherapy (2), radiation (1), and observation (1). The median time between diagnosis of CML and a new malignancy was 39 months. Six of the 47 pts are deceased: 2 died of their PM, 2 died secondary to treatment complications for their PM, 2 died of cardiovascular issues unrelated to a cancer diagnosis. None died of CML. Initial treatment for CML was imatinib 400mg in 4/47 (9%) PM and 69/419 (16%) nPM, imatinib 800mg in 15/47 (33%) PM and 189/419 (45%) nPM, dasatinib in 11/47 (24%) PM and 78/419 (19%) nPM, and nilotinib in 16/47 (35%) PM, and 83/419(20%) nPM. The outcome of pts with PM and nPM is presented in Table 1. There was no significant different in patient outcome between pts with PM and nPM. Conclusion: Pts with CML who have prior malignancies have the same excellent outcome as patients with no prior malignancies. In the few instances in which concomitant therapy for other malignancies was required during therapy with TKI this could be accomplished with no significant toxicity. Thus, the history of prior malignancy in a patient who develops CML should not affect the decision to treat with TKI.

19659 Background: Bone metastases produce an imbalance in osteoblast and osteoclast activity. While metastases from prostate cancer are osteoblastic, metastases from breast cancer may be osteolytic, osteoblastic or mixed. The wnt/frizzled pathway is involved in maturation of osteoblasts and in adult bone homeostasis. We explored the wnt antagonists dickkopf (DKK1) and frizzled related protein (FRP) as potential biomarkers in bone metastasis after ZA treatment. Methods: This is a pilot cohort study in bisphosphonate naive breast and prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. Cancer therapy was not specified. Patients received 2 monthly doses of ZA 4 mg IV. Pre- and post-treatment (day 60) sera were collected for measurement of FRP and DKK1, along with IL-6, calcium, creatinine and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP, a marker of osteoblast activity). Primary endpoint: mean change in FRP and DKK1; Secondary endpoints: correlation of biomarkers with each other and comparison of breast vs. prostate cancer patients. Biomarkers were measured using standard ELISA assays. Statistics: comparison of means = student t-test, correlation coefficients = Pearson. Results: Mature data from 14 patients are reported here, 9 with breast and 5 with prostate cancer. Mean age = 61 years (range 42–89). Two breast cancer patients were premenopausal. One prostate and 3 breast cancer patients received chemotherapy; all others were treated hormonally. After ZA, calcium decreased in all patients (p = 0.09). BAP decreased in all but 1 breast and 1 prostate cancer patient (mean decrease 20.0, p = 0.16). IL-6 was undetectable in most patients. FRP decreased in all but 4 patients (mean decrease 6.2, p = 0.13). There was no discernable pattern for DKK1. Pre-treatment DKK1 correlated with FRP (p = 0.01, r2 = 0.39), but there was no correlation post-treatment. Post-treatment DKK1 correlated with both serum calcium (p = 0.04, r2 = 0.49) and BAP (p = 0.005, r2 = 0.65). There was no difference between breast and prostate cancer patients. Conclusions: It is feasible to measure DKK1 and FRP in patients with malignant bone disease. Treatment with ZA has measurable effects upon these and other serum markers. Further studies with more patients are needed to evaluate their potential as biomarkers. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

185 Background: Rates of second primary malignancy have been increasing with increased cancer survivorship. The published literature on second primaries in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma is sparse. We addressed this question utilizing the SEER database. Methods: 99,614 patients of primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 1973-2006 were identified from SEER database. Of these, 8,889 (8.93%) had another primary diagnosed before pancreatic cancer (BPC) and 1813 (1.82%) a second primary diagnosed after pancreatic cancer (APC). SAS was used for statistical analysis and P-value <0.05 was determined to be significant. Results: The most common non-pancreatic primary identified were prostate, breast, lung, colorectal, and urinary bladder. The median age at presentation was 75 and 71 years in the BPC and APC groups respectively. APC patients had higher odds of developing primary cancers of embryonic gut origin (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, hepatobiliary, lung, and thyroid) compared to PBC patients (p<0.05). Patients of BPC compared to APC were more likely to be older than 70 yrs (70.5% vs. 65.3% p=0.01), less likely to undergo surgery for pancreatic cancer (11.2% vs.5.87% p=<0.05) and with decreased median survival (7 vs.3 months). With each passing decade, increasing second primaries were diagnosed, presumably reflecting better overall survival from cancer diagnosis. Conclusions: Approximately 11% of pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients have another cancer in their life time. Identifying common genetic and risk factors in these patients with multiple malignancies may provide the new therapeutic opportunities for patients with pancreatic cancer.

177 Background: Men with a history of testicular cancer are known to have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa) in epidemiologic studies. We hypothesized they may also have an increased risk of developing intermediate to high-risk PCa. Herein, we present a case-control study to assess the association of a history of testicular cancer and intermediate to high-risk PCa. Methods: We used the eighteen Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registries to compare men with a history of testicular cancer to a control population of men with a history of melanoma. Melanoma was used as a control group because, to our knowledge, there is no association of melanoma and PCa. Men were excluded if they were not 60 years of age or older to allow for sufficient PCa diagnosis. PCa incidence was only counted if it occurred at least 5 years after the diagnosis of their primary cancer to allow for possible temporal effect of the primary malignancy. Incidence of total and intermediate to high-risk PCa(Gleason score ≥ 7) was compared using Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to assess for associations of PCa (JMP 10, SAS Inc). Results: 119,781 men with melanoma and 10,365 men with testicular cancer were identified. The incidence of all PCa by age 80 was 2.7% in the control melanoma cohort and 12.3% in the case cohort of men with history of testicular cancer (p<0.0001 for KM survival curves). For intermediate/high-risk disease, the incidence was 1.1% versus 5.7% for each cohort respectively (p<0.0001 for KM survival curves). Testis cancer (versus the control melanoma cohort) was associated with an increased risk of all PCa (HR 4.7, p<0.0001) and intermediate/high-risk PCa (HR 5.5, p<0.0001). These associations persisted even when controlling for race. Conclusions: A history of testicular cancer is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing both PCa and intermediate/high risk PCa.

Abstract From breast malignant tumors, bone is the most frequent site of metastasis. Bone metastases from breast cancer are correlated with pathological fractures, spinal cord compression and other skeletal-related events as well as bone pain and hypercalcemia. These lead to impaired mobility, decreased quality of life, and overall decrease in survival. Clarification of mechanisms regulating bone metastasis has advanced greatly in the last years and this has translated into plentiful unused therapeutic options. Greater understanding of the pathophysiology of bone metastases has led to the detection and clinical efficiency of bone-targeted agents. This review summarizes the key evidence for current clinical practice and future directions.

Aim. To determine the relative risk of developing other malignant tumors in patients with thyroid cancer and and the risk of developing thyroid cancer in patients with other malignancies. Methods. A retrospective analysis of 116 patients with multiple neoplasia including thyroid gland involvement was conducted for the period from 1973 to 2010. In order to estimate the relative risk of development of multiple neoplasias including thyroid gland lesions used was the following formula: relative risk = [a / (a + b)] / [c / (c + d)], where a is the number of patients with thyroid cancer with a second malignancy; b is the number of patients with thyroid cancer without a second malignancy; c is the number of patients in the population affected by the same malignant disease, as patients in group a; d is the number of people in the population without any cancer-related pathology. Results. In patients with carcinomas of the thyroid gland the relative risk is higher than in the general population for developing metachronous lymphoma (41.8 for men, 31.7 for women), renal cell carcinoma (55.6 for men, 18.5 for women), prostate cancer (35.7), lung and bronchus cancer (18.8 for women), melanoma (17.1 for women), colon cancer (16.7 for women), cervical cancer (15.8), uterine cancer (11.8), breast cancer (11.5 for women), skin cancer (9.5 in women) and the simultaneous development of renal cell carcinoma (33.8 for men and 46.3 for women), prostate cancer (24.4), melanoma (20.6 for women), cancer of the esophagus (19.4 for men, 17.8 for women), colon cancer (19.0 for men), lymphomas (12.8 for men), cervical cancer (11.3), breast cancer (11.0 for women), skin cancer (8.5 for women). The relative risk of developing metachronous cancer of the thyroid gland is higher than that in the population in patients with melanoma (108.0 in men, 50.4 for women), with malignant neoplasms of the lymphoid tissue (40.2 for men, 40.8 for women), uterine cancer (11.8), skin cancer (8.7 in women), breast cancer (8.0 for women). Conclusion. During preventive medical examinations of patients with thyroid cancer the relative risk of developing subsequent cancers must be taken into account for early diagnosis of multiple neoplasias.

BackgroundThis study aims to test the effect of the 10 most common nonurological primary cancers (skin, rectal, colon, lymphoma, leukemia, pancreas, stomach, esophagus, liver, lung) on overall mortality (OM) after secondary prostate cancer (PCa).Material and MethodsWithin the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, patients with 10 most common primary cancers and concomitant secondary PCa (diagnosed 2004–2016) were identified and were matched in 1:4 fashion (age, year at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, treatment type, TNM stage) with primary PCa controls. OM was compared between secondary and primary PCa patients and was stratified according to primary cancer type, as well as according to time interval between primary cancer vs. secondary PCa diagnoses.ResultsWe identified 24,848 secondary PCa patients (skin, n = 3,871; rectal, n = 798; colon, n = 3,665; lymphoma, n = 2,583; leukemia, n = 1,102; pancreatic, n = 118; stomach, n = 361; esophagus, n = 219; liver, n = 160; lung, n = 1,328) vs. 531,732 primary PCa patients. Secondary PCa characteristics were less favorable than those of primary PCa patients (PSA and grade), and smaller proportions of secondary PCa patients received active treatment. After 1:4 matching, all secondary PCa exhibited worse OM than primary PCa patients. Finally, subgroup analyses showed that the survival disadvantage of secondary PCa patients decreased with longer time interval since primary cancer diagnosis and subsequent secondary PCa.ConclusionPatients with secondary PCa are diagnosed with less favorable PSA and grade. Even after matching for PCa characteristics, secondary PCa patients still exhibit worse survival. However, the survival disadvantage is attenuated, when secondary PCa diagnosis is made after longer time interval, since primary cancer diagnosis.

295 Background: The Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) campaign aims to start conversations about unnecessary treatments and procedures in order to improve quality of care. In particular, the CWC campaign in cancer seeks to reduce interventions that are not supported by evidence and contribute to unnecessary rising costs of cancer care. We sought to document the performance of cancer screening for a new primary cancer in patients with existing metastatic cancer (CWC statement #2). Methods: We used population-based administrative health care databases from Ontario, Canada held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). The cohort included all adult residents of Ontario of eligible screening age (age 50 or older) diagnosed with incident, stage 4 (metastatic) colorectal cancer (CRC), lung, breast, or prostate cancer between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2012. We examined screening tests for CRC and breast cancer in the first 1 and 3 years after diagnosis of an unrelated cancer. Given the high mortality rate in this population, screening rates were calculated using the cumulative incidence function which takes into account the competing risk of death or the occurrence of the cancer for which the patient was being screened (prior to being screened). Results: Among the 20,992 patients with stage 4 lung, breast, or prostate cancer, CRC screening within 1 year of cancer diagnosis occurred in 2.8%, 6.1%, and 13.0%, respectively. Within 3 years of diagnosis, screening rates were 3.9%, 11.9%, and 26.9%, respectively. Among the 10,034 women with metastatic CRC or lung cancer, breast cancer screening within 1 year of cancer diagnosis occurred in 8.0% and 8.7% of women, respectively. Within 3 years of diagnosis, screening rates were13.1% and 10.2%, respectively. Screening rates were higher in patients age 50-74 than those ≥75 years. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that up to one quarter of patients with metastatic cancer receive subsequent screening tests for other cancers, which are unnecessary as these patients are unlikely to benefit. Further studies are warranted to examine resource implications, potential patient and societal harms, and the future impact of the CWC campaign on this practice.
