BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) represent one of the most common cancers in the United States, accounting for about 4% of all cancers and it is estimated over 77,000 people (including children and adults) will be diagnosed with NHL in the United States in 2020. Depending on the data, it is estimated T-cell lymphomas make up anywhere from 7 to 15% of all NHLs. Given their relative rarity compared to other sub-types of lymphomas (and malignancies at large), there is a scarce literature regarding their outcomes in ethnic minority groups. Retrospective reviews of cancer registries and SEER databases have demonstrated conflicting evidence regarding outcomes in Hispanics (HI) with some studies suggesting worse overall survival (OS) in this group (Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk. PMID: 26198444), while others suggest comparable outcomes in the setting of healthcare homogeneity (Leuk Lymphoma. PMID: 25012944). MATERIALS/METHODS This is a retrospective study of a cohort of patients diagnosed with T-cell NHL from the Texas Cancer Registry (2006-2016). Patients were identified by the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology Third Edition (ICD-O-3) code list. Data was provided to us completely de-identified. Key variables collected included gender, ethnicity, dates at diagnosis and death, payer, stage, treatment, and poverty index. Categorical outcomes were summarized with frequencies and percentages and age, the only continuously distributed outcome, with the mean and standard deviation. The significance of variation in distribution of categorical outcomes with ethnicity [HI, non-Hispanic (NH)] was assessed with Fisher's Exact tests or Pearson's Chi-square as appropriate; age was assessed with T-test or Wilcoxon. Survival time was measured in years from date of primary diagnosis to date of death. Survival distributions were described with Kaplan-Meier curves and significance of variation in median survival with ethnicity was assessed with log rank testing. At risk tables were computed based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival curve. All statistical testing was two-sided with a significance level of 5%. Corrections for multiple testing were not applied. The R language was used throughout. RESULTS We identified 2074 patients with T-cell NHL (n= 902 Peripheral T Cell, NOS; 295 Angioimmunoblastic T Cell; 577 Anaplastic Large T Cell; 120 NK/T-cell; and 180 Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma). 553 were HI (26%), 1521 NH (74%). Median age of diagnosis in HI was 50.1 vs 57.4 in NH (p = <0.001). Males were more frequently affected, 63.8% in HI vs 58.9% in NH (p = 0.048). Most frequent poverty index was 20-100% for HI vs 10-19.9% for NH (p < 0.001). Most frequent payor for both groups were Medicare with 24.3% in HI vs 35.3% in NH (p < 0.001). Most common stage at diagnosis in both groups was III/IV with 50.3% in HI vs 49.7% in NH (p = 0.031). Most frequent chemotherapy included multiple agents for both, 55.7% in HI vs 44.2% in NH (p < 0.001). Majority in both groups had neither hematologic transplant 90.2% in HI vs 85.3% in NH (p = 0.073) nor radiation, 84.4% in HI vs 82.9% in NH (p = 0.076). Median overall survival (OS) in HI was 1.7 years vs 1.9 in NH; survival probability for HI vs NH at 2 years was 0.46 vs 0.49, at 5 years 0.37 vs 0.35, and at 10 years 0.24 vs 0.23 with no statistically significant difference in OS probability (p=0.89). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that amongst the population of Texas, HI with T-cell NHL have similar outcomes when compared to their NH counterparts. Breakdown of our cohort demonstrated similar healthcare utilization, as well as diagnostic and treatment modalities amongst both groups. Within the context of healthcare equality, we ascertained similar outcomes amongst groups, which is in agreement with previous reports claiming homogeneity of medical care helps overcome ethnic disparities.

Abstract Background: Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis for patients with HIV (PWH) and T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) in the current antiretroviral therapy (ART) era remains unknown. The primary objective of this study was to determine outcomes of patients with mature T and NK/T-cell lymphomas with and without HIV (PWoH) in North America. A secondary objective was to define variations in the survival of patients with TCLs and AIDS-defining B-cell lymphomas (A-BCLs) in the presence of ART. Methods: The study population included patients from two source populations, the NA-ACCORD (The North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design) and COMPLETE (Comprehensive Oncology Measures for Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma), both of which have been previously described. The NA-ACCORD collaborates with >20 longitudinal cohorts of adults (aged ≥ 18 years) with HIV in the United States and Canada. Within the NA-ACCORD cohort, we included patients with a validated incidental diagnosis of mature T and NK/TCL (n=52) or the most common A-BCLs including Burkitt's lymphoma (n=101), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n=500) and primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL, n=64) between 1996 and 2016. COMPLETE is a prospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed incidental mature TCLs in the United States between 2010 and 2014. Of the 452 eligible patients, 450 were included for analysis after exclusion of two patients with HIV infection. Patients were followed from diagnosis to the first of death, loss to follow-up or administrative censoring at 5 years. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to estimate and compare survival. Results: At the time of TCL diagnosis, PWH were significantly younger than patients without HIV (PWoH) (49 years vs. 60 years respectively; p<0.001). PWH were predominantly men (96% vs. 63%; p<0.001), of white race (64% vs. 77%; p<0.006), with chronic kidney disease (19% vs. 2.2%; p<0.001) and with co-infections such as hepatitis B virus (13% vs. 0.9%; p<0.001) and hepatitis C virus (19% vs. 1.1%; p<0.001). Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL, n=26) was the most common histological subtype within PWH relative to peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS, n=143) among PWoH. More than 92% of the patients within the NA-ACCORD cohort were on at least one class of ART during their cohort enrollment period. Median duration of ART prior to lymphoma diagnosis was 2.9 years (0.7-9.4) and comparable for patients with TCLs and A-BCLs. The median time from NA-ACCORD cohort enrollment to lymphoma diagnosis was 2.3 years (IQR: 0.3-5.9 years) for TCLs and comparable for patients with the A-BCL subgroups (2.8 years, IQR: 0.6-7.2 years; p=0.21). At the end of the 5-year follow-up period, the survival probability since TCL diagnosis was markedly lower at 0.32 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.21-0.49) among PWH in contrast to 0.45 (95% CI: 0.41-0.51) for PWoH. Specifically, survival probability since ALCL diagnosis was distinctively lower at 0.23 (95% CI: 0.11-0.47) among PWH in contrast to 0.76 (95% CI: 0.66-0.87) for PWoH. Mortality following lymphoma diagnosis was elevated for PWH vs. PWoH even after adjusting for statistically significant baseline clinical characteristics such as age, race, and ALCL status in multivariate analysis (adjusted HR: 1.92; 95% CI: 1.27, 2.91). Among PWH with TCL, CD4 <200 and viral load (VL) >500 (n=10) was associated with a lower survival relative to those with counts >200 and/or VL <500 (n=12, p=0.031). Upon stratification of PWH into different calendar periods based on year of diagnosis (1996-1999 vs. 2000-2009 vs. 2010-2016), we observed an improvement in survival for all subgroups over time. Overall, among PWH, PCNSL had the worst median overall survival (3.8 months, 95% Cl: 2.0-7.2 months) followed by ALCL (10.6 months, 95% Cl: 2.1-33.4 months), DLBCL (15.6 months, 95% CI: 12.7-22.2 months) and Burkitt's lymphoma. Conclusions: Our report based on two large observational cohorts in North America highlights poor outcomes for TCLs among PWH compared to PWoH. In addition, within the PWH group, our study is the first to delineate inferior survival for patients with ALCLs relative to DLBCL and Burkitt's lymphoma accentuating the need for novel therapies. However, the overall prognosis for these lymphomas among PWH has improved in the last two decades, particularly among those with CD4>200, underscoring the impact of early and sustained ART.

e17502 Background: Glassy cell carcinoma of cervix (GCCC) is a rare histological subtype of cervical cancer which has historically been associated with rapidly progressive disease, early development of metastases and overall poor prognosis. We attempt to define real-world trends in GCCC in the United States based on data from SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) database. Methods: We extracted data from the US National Cancer Institute's SEER 2018 dataset using ICD-O code for ‘Cervix Uteri Glassy Cell Carcinoma’. All patients who were diagnosed between 1973-2015 were included. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 26. Kaplan Meier curve was used for survival analysis. Results: Data for a total of 57 patients with GCCC was available from 1975 to 2017. Median age at diagnosis was 38 years (range 30.5-44.5). Increased frequency of cases was noted in white females (77.2%) as compared to black population (22.2%). Most cases initially presented with localized or regional spread (47.4% and 40.4% respectively) with distant metastasis seen in only 10.5% patients. Data analysis revealed that 63.2% patients had Grade III poorly differentiated carcinoma, 66.7% received radiation therapy, 57.9% underwent chemotherapy and 59.6% had cancer direceted surgery performed. Calculated mean overall survival was 121.9 months. We were unable to calculate 5 year and 10 year median overall survival due to small sample size and censored data. Conclusions: GCCC is a rare histologic type of cervical cancer that presents at a younger age, is more frequently seen in white females and is commonly associated with localized or regional spread at time of initial presentation.[Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Peripheral T-Cell lymphomas (PTCLs) constitute approximately 10% of lymphoid malignancies and consist of several distinct entities based on pathologic and clinical characteristics. With the exception of a few subtypes (e.g., ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and some primary cutaneous or leukemic forms of PTCL), a majority of PTCLs are aggressive as characterized by poor treatment response, rapid disease progression and poor overall survival. We have shown that landmark timepoints of event-free survival after diagnosis can stratify subsequent overall survival (OS) in diffuse large B-cell and follicular lymphoma. Here we evaluate this approach in newly diagnosed aggressive PTCLs treated with anthracyline-based or related chemotherapy. Methods. Newly diagnosed PTCL patients were prospectively enrolled in the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Lymphoma SPORE Molecular Epidemiology Resource (MER) from 2002-2012. Clinical data were abstracted from medical records using a standard protocol. For this analysis, we included patients receiving anthracycline-based or other multiagent chemotherapy for the following PTCL subtypes: ALK-negative ALCL (N=24); angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL, N=34); PTCL, not otherwise specified (NOS; N=60); enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL, N=8); extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL, N=11); and hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL, N=1). Patients were prospectively followed, and event-free survival (EFS) was defined as time from diagnosis to progression, re-treatment, or death due to any cause. Landmark EFS timepoints were assessed at 12 (EFS12) and 24 (EFS24) months after the date of diagnosis. Subsequent OS was defined as time from a specific endpoint (diagnosis, event or EFS landmark). Replication was performed in a population-based cohort of T-cell lymphomas diagnosed from 2000-2009 from the Swedish Lymphoma Registry. Results. 138 eligible patients were enrolled in the MER from 2002-2012, the median age at diagnosis was 58 years (range, 19-88), 66% were male, 73% had Stage III-IV disease, and 33% had IPI 0-1. At a median follow-up of 47 months (range 11-120), 87 patients (63%) had an event and 70 patients (51%) had died. From diagnosis, only 60 patients were event-free at 12 months (EFS12 45%). Patients who failed to achieve EFS12 had a poor subsequent OS from event (median OS = 6.8 months, 95% CI: 5.3-14.0, figure 1). In contrast, patients who achieved EFS12 had a favorable subsequent OS (median unreached, figure 2). Of the 427 eligible patients in the Swedish registry, the median age at diagnosis was 66 years (range, 18-88), 63% were male, 68% had Stage III-IV disease, and 25% had IPI 0-1. PTCL subtypes were: ALK-negative ALCL (N=89); AITL (N=80); PTCL, NOS (N=183); EATL (N=44); ENKTL (N=24); and HSTCL (N=7). At a median follow-up of 86 months (range 40-158), 333 patients (79%) had an event and 316 patients (74%) had died. From diagnosis, 183 patients were event-free at 12 months (EFS12 44%). Similar to the MER cohort, Swedish patients failing EFS12 had poor subsequent survival (median OS = 3.7 months, 95% CI: 2.9-5.3, figure 1). Swedish patients achieving EFS12 had a favorable subsequent OS (median OS = 89 months, figure 2). Similar results were obtained when conducting landmark analysis at 24 months after diagnosis (EFS24). Conclusion. Relapse and re-treatment events within the first 12 months of diagnosis are associated with very poor OS in PTCL treated with anthracyclines or related chemotherapy, while patients achieving EFS12 have encouraging subsequent OS. Stratifying patients into prognostically distinct subsets using EFS12 may help focus biologic and biomarker studies. EFS12 has potential as an early endpoint for studies of newly diagnosed PTCL. Further investigation of determinants related to post-EFS12 survival is needed. Disclosures Maurer: Kite Pharma: Research Funding. Cerhan:Kite Pharma: Research Funding.

Abstract Introduction Isolated myeloid sarcoma is a rare form (<1%) of acute myeloid leukemia presenting as extramedullary tumor. Contemporary clinical data are mostly limited to institutional case series. Using the National Cancer Database, the largest public cancer registry covering >70% of all newly diagnosed cancers in the United States, we determined the patterns of anatomical presentation and clinical outcome of myeloid sarcoma. Methods We identified patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of isolated myeloid sarcoma from 2004-2013 using International Classification of Diseases for Oncology version 3 (ICD-O-3) code: 9930. To allow at least 1 year of follow-up, only patients diagnosed from 2004-2012 were included in the survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Results A total of 746 patients were included in the study. The median age of patients was 59 years (range, 41 to 73) and 56% were males. The anatomical distribution and median overall survival of patients are depicted in the Table. The top 3 most common sites of presentation were connective/soft tissues (31.3%), skin/breast (12.3%), and digestive system (10.3%). Compared to other races, Blacks were more likely to have presentation in bones/joints (11.8% vs 6.3% in others), lymph nodes/spleen (22.1% vs. 9%), and less likely in skin/breast (4.4% vs. 13.8%). Asians were more likely to present with cardiopulmonary/mediastinal disease as compared to other races (13.6% vs. 4.2%). According to outcomes, we can categorize the patients into 3 groups: good (median overall survival >30 months: reproductive and digestive systems), intermediate (median overall survival 15-30 months: head/neck and kidney/bladder/retroperitoneum/adrenal), and poor (median overall survival <15 months: nervous system, connective/soft tissue, and bones/joints). There was no significant difference in overall survival between males and females (P =0.06). Among the races, Blacks had the worst overall survival (P =0.02; Figure). Conclusions This is the largest registry-based study on isolated myeloid sarcoma in the United States. Isolated myeloid sarcoma has a diverse anatomic clinical presentation and the overall survival varied significantly according to sites of presentation and racial subgroups. The results of our study may aid the prognostication of patients for treatment decision making and in the understanding of the biological differences by anatomic sites of presentation.

BACKGROUND: It is estimated that 8480 persons in USA will be diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) in 2020 accounting to approximately 0.5% of all new cancer diagnoses. The advent of new treatment options has improved the outcomes of this disease and 5-year relative survival rate is 87.4% currently. However, studies have shown that outcomes of HL have been worse in Hispanics (Annals of Oncology, PMID: 22241896) especially in late stage disease and HI experience up to a 35% higher risk of HL specific mortality than whites (AACR,PMID: 26826029). There is an unmet need in the field and dossiers on underrepresented ethnic minorities need to be carefully considered, compared to existing data. Our study aims to compare survival outcomes in Hispanics (HI) vs Non-Hispanics (NH) with HL and to our knowledge this is the largest cohort of patients from an area that represents a large proportion of HI population in the USA. METHODS: This is a retrospective study that examines HL patients obtained from Texas Cancer Registry (TCR) database between 2006-2016 and identified by the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology Third Edition (ICD-O-3) code list. All patient data was provided to us de-identified. Standard demographic variables collected include gender, race, ethnicity, dates at diagnosis and death, primary payer at diagnosis, subtype of lymphoma, stage, treatment modality, poverty index among others. Categorical outcomes were summarized with frequencies and percentages while age (years), the only continuously distributed outcome was summarized with the mean and standard deviation. The significance of variation in the distribution of categorical outcomes with ethnicity (HI vs NH) was assessed with Fisher's Exact tests or Pearson's Chi-square tests as appropriate; age was assessed with T-tests or Wilcoxon tests as appropriate. Survival time (years) was measured from date of primary diagnosis to death. Patients not coded as dead were considered censored on survival time at the date last seen. Survival distributions were described with Kaplan-Meier curves and significance of variation in median survival with ethnicity was assessed with log rank testing. At risk tables were computed based on the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival curve. All statistical testing was two-sided with a significance level of 5%. Corrections for multiple testing were not applied. The R language [R Core Team (2013). R: A language and environment for statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria] was used throughout. RESULTS: We identified 6353 patients with HL, of which 1843 were HI (29%), 4510 NH (71%). Median age of diagnosis in HI was 41.3 vs 42.3 in NH (p = 0.084). Males were more frequently affected, 56.5% in HI vs 54.8 in NH (p = 0.213). Most frequent poverty index bracket for HI was between 20-100% vs 10-19.9% for NH (p &lt; 0.001). Most frequent payment model amongst both groups was private insurance with 28.1% in HI vs 45.1% in NH (p &lt; 0.001). Metro/non-border most frequent locality amongst both groups (p value n/a) with Harris county accounting to 15.7% of HL in HI vs 16.5% of HL in NH. Bexar county accounted for 12.5% of HL in HI vs 5.2% of HL in NH. Most common stage at diagnosis in both groups was III/IV with 43% in HI vs 33.7% in NH (p &lt; 0.001). In both groups most frequent chemotherapy included multiple agents, 57.1% in HI vs 48.8% in NH (p &lt; 0.001). Majority in both groups neither got any radiation, 77% in HI vs 76.5% in NH (p = 0.208) nor hematologic transplant, 92% in HI vs 88.6% in NH (p = 0.01). We found the median overall survival time in HI was 10.5 years vs 10.8 years in NH; the overall survival probability for HI vs NH at 2 years was 0.8 [CI 0.771-0.811] vs 0.85 [CI 0.83-0.853], at 5 years was 0.72 [CI 0.694-0.743] vs 0.77 [CI 0.753-0.782] and at 10 years was 0.60 [CI 0.544-0.646] vs 0.65 [CI 0.615-0.679]. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that amongst the population of Texas, HI patients with HL have a statistically significant worse overall survival probability (p value &lt; 0.0001) when compared to NH patients with HL. It is of paramount importance that outcomes for all racial and ethnic groups continue to improve but very little is known about the basis for these differences. This warrants a deeper investigation into the biological and non-biological determinants for these differences.

Abstract Introduction Plasmacytomas comprise approximately 3% of all plasma cell malignancies. There is a paucity of large studies assessing clinical features and outcomes of this relatively uncommon disease. Our objective was to describe the patterns of clinical presentation and survival of plasmacytomas using the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB). Methods This is a retrospective study of patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of plasmacytoma from 2000-2011 using International Classification of Diseases for Oncology version 3 (ICD-0-3) code: 9930. Patients who had bone marrow involvement were excluded from the analysis. Plasmacytomas were grouped into two broad categories: extramedullary plasmacytoma (P-EM) and bone plasmacytoma (P-bone) based on their anatomical locations. Overall survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Results A total of 6,939 patients were included in the study (median age 64 years; range 18-90 years). Approximately 62% of these patients were males and 46% patients were ≥ 70 years. Racial/ethnic distribution of the disease was as follows: 76% Whites, 13% Blacks, 7% Hispanics, and 4% others. The anatomical distribution and survival of patients is depicted in the Table. P-EM comprised 30% of the patients, with remaining 70% presenting as P-bone. Among P-EM, most common sites of presentation were upper aero-digestive tract (41%) and connective/soft tissue (20%). After a median follow up of 65 months, the overall survival of P-EM was significantly better than P-bone (113 vs. 78 months; Figure). Based on outcomes, we can categorize the P-EM patients into 3 groups: good (median overall survival > 120 months: upper aero-digestive tract, lymph nodes, endocrine and digestive system), intermediate (median overall survival 90-120 months: nervous system, eye/orbit, pulmonary), and poor (median overall survival <90 months: connective/soft tissue, cardiac/mediastinum, genitourinary, and hepatobiliary system). Males had better overall survival than females in P-bone (84 vs. 67 months; p<0.0001), but had no significant survival difference in P-EM (109 vs. 116 months; p=0.7). In the P-EM group, median overall survival was worst for Blacks (98 months vs. Whites- 108 months, Hispanics- not reached, others-145 months). Conversely, for P-bone, Blacks had a better overall survival than Whites (Blacks- 99 months, Whites- 72 months, Hispanics- 156, others-84 months). Patients who were treated at an academic center had better overall survival than patients treated at other/community centers both in case of P-EM (130 vs. 108 months) and P-bone (107 vs. 69 months). Conclusions This is the largest registry-based study on plasmacytoma in the United States. Plasmacytomas have varied clinical presentation, along with significantly different survival based on sites of presentation, race, sex, and treatment facility. Our study results point toward important differences in disease biology based on location and may aid in assessing prognosis for planning treatment. Table.

Gastric cancer is the third most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite evidence-based recommendation for treatment, the current treatment patterns for all stages of gastric cancer remain largely unexplored. This study investigates trends in the treatments and survival of gastric cancer. The National Cancer Database was used to identify gastric adenocarcinoma patients from 2004–2016. Chi-square tests were used to examine subgroup differences between disease stages: Stage I, II/III and IV. Multivariate analyses identified factors associated with the receipt of guideline concordant care. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to assess three-year overall survival. The final cohort included 108,150 patients: 23,584 Stage I, 40,216 Stage II/III, and 44,350 Stage IV. Stage specific guideline concordant care was received in only 73% of patients with Stage I disease and 51% of patients with Stage II/III disease. Patients who received guideline consistent care had significantly improved survival compared to those who did not. Overall, we found only moderate improvement in guideline adherence and three-year overall survival during the 13-year study time period. This study showed underutilization of stage specific guideline concordant care for stage I and II/III disease.
