532 Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) originating from an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm remains a biologically heterogeneous disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome and long-term survival after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) consolidated through an International Registry study. Methods: A retrospective multi-institutional registry was established through collaborative efforts of participating units affiliated with the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI). Results: 2298 patients from 16 specialized units underwent CRS for PMP. Treatment related mortality was 2% and major operative complication was 24%. The median survival was 196 months (16.3 years) and the median progression-free survival was 98 months (8.2 years) with a 10- and 15-year survival rate of 63% and 59% respectively. Multivariate analysis identified prior chemotherapy treatment (P<0.001), PMCA histopathological subtype (P<0.001), major postoperative complication (P=0.008), high PCI (P=0.013), debulking surgery (CCR2/3) (P<0.001), not using HIPEC (P=0.030) as independent predictors for a poorer progression-free survival. Older age (P=0.006), major postoperative complication (P<0.001), debulking surgery (CCR2/3) (P<0.001), prior chemotherapy treatment (P=0.001) and PMCA histopathological subtype (P<0.001) were independent predictors of a poorer overall survival. Conclusions: The combined modality strategy for PMP may be performed safely with acceptable morbidity and mortality in a specialized unit setting with 63% of patients surviving beyond 10-years. Minimizing non-definitive operative and systemic chemotherapy treatments prior to definitive cytoreduction may facilitate the feasibility and outcome of this therapy to achieve long-term survival. Optimal cytoreduction achieves the best outcomes.

Purpose Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) originating from an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm remains a biologically heterogeneous disease. The purpose of our study was to evaluate outcome and long-term survival after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) consolidated through an international registry study. Patients and Methods A retrospective multi-institutional registry was established through collaborative efforts of participating units affiliated with the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International. Results Two thousand two hundred ninety-eight patients from 16 specialized units underwent CRS for PMP. Treatment-related mortality was 2% and major operative complications occurred in 24% of patients. The median survival rate was 196 months (16.3 years) and the median progression-free survival rate was 98 months (8.2 years), with 10- and 15-year survival rates of 63% and 59%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified prior chemotherapy treatment (P < .001), peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) histopathologic subtype (P < .001), major postoperative complications (P = .008), high peritoneal cancer index (P = .013), debulking surgery (completeness of cytoreduction [CCR], 2 or 3; P < .001), and not using HIPEC (P = .030) as independent predictors for a poorer progression-free survival. Older age (P = .006), major postoperative complications (P < .001), debulking surgery (CCR 2 or 3; P < .001), prior chemotherapy treatment (P = .001), and PMCA histopathologic subtype (P < .001) were independent predictors of a poorer overall survival. Conclusion The combined modality strategy for PMP may be performed safely with acceptable morbidity and mortality in a specialized unit setting with 63% of patients surviving beyond 10 years. Minimizing nondefinitive operative and systemic chemotherapy treatments before definitive cytoreduction may facilitate the feasibility and improve the outcome of this therapy to achieve long-term survival. Optimal cytoreduction achieves the best outcomes.

OBJECT The authors assessed the feasibility of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) using a portable radiation source to treat newly diagnosed, surgically resected, solitary brain metastasis (BrM). METHODS In a nonrandomized prospective study, 23 patients with histologically confirmed BrM were treated with an Intrabeam device that delivered 14 Gy to a 2-mm depth to the resection cavity during surgery. RESULTS In a 5-year minimum follow-up period, progression-free survival from the time of surgery with simultaneous IORT averaged (± SD) 22 ± 33 months (range 1–96 months), with survival from the time of BrM treatment with surgery+IORT of 30 ± 32 months (range 1–96 months) and overall survival from the time of first cancer diagnosis of 71 ± 64 months (range 4–197 months). For the Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA), patients with a score of 1.5–2.0 (n = 12) had an average posttreatment survival of 21 ± 26 months (range 1–96 months), those with a score of 2.5–3.0 (n = 7) had an average posttreatment survival of 52 ± 40 months (range 5–94 months), and those with a score of 3.5–4.0 (n = 4) had an average posttreatment survival of 17 ± 12 months (range 4–28 months). A BrM at the treatment site recurred in 7 patients 9 ± 6 months posttreatment, and 5 patients had new but distant BrM 17 ± 3 months after surgery+IORT. Six patients later received whole-brain radiation therapy, 7 patients received radiosurgery, and 2 patients received both treatments. The median Karnofsky Performance Scale scores before and 1 and 3 months after surgery were 80, 90, and 90, respectively; at the time of this writing, 3 patients remain alive with a CNS progression-free survival of > 90 months without additional BrM treatment. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of resection combined with IORT at a dose of 14 Gy to a 2-mm peripheral margin to treat a solitary BrM. Local control, distant control, and long-term survival were comparable to those of other commonly used modalities. Surgery combined with IORT seems to be a potential adjunct to patient treatment for CNS involvement by systemic cancer.

3538 Background: CRC liver metastases can be resected after downsizing with intensive chemotherapy schedules, with a strong correlation between the response and resection rates. Cetuximab plus chemotherapy has been shown to increase the rates of tumor response and resection of liver metastases. (Van Cutsem et al, JCO 2011). Methods: Patients (pts) with technically non-resectable and/or with > 4 liver metastases were randomized to treatment with FOLFOX/cetuximab (arm A) or FOLFIRI/cetuximab (arm B) and evaluated regarding resectability every 2 months. Resection was offered to all patients who became resectable during the study. K-ras and b-raf status were retrospectively evaluated. Data on tumor response and resection were reported earlier (Folprecht et al, Lancet Oncol 2010). Overall and progression free survival were analyzed in December 2012. Results: Between Dec 2004 and March 2008, 56 pts were randomized to arm A, 55 to arm B. For the current analysis, 109 pts were evaluable for overall survival (OS), and 106 patients for PFS. The median OS was 35.7 [95% CI: 27.2-44.2] months (arm A: 35.8 [28.1-43.6], arm B: 29.0 [16.0-41.9], HR 1.03 [0.66-1.61], p=0.9). The median PFS was 10.8 [9.3-12.2] months (Arm A: 11.2 [7.2-15.3], Arm B: 10.5 [8.9-12.2], HR 1.18 [0.79-1.74], p=0.4). Patients with R0 resection had a better OS (median: 53.9 [35.9-71.9] mo) than patients without R0 resection (27.3 [21.1-33.4] mo, p=0.002) and a better PFS (median 15.4 [11.4-19.5] and 8.9 [6.7-11.1] mo in R0 resected and not R0 resected pts, p<0.001). The 5 year survival in R0 resected patients is 46.2% [29.5-62.9%]. Conclusions: This study confirmed a favourable long term survival of patients with initially “nonresectable” CRC liver metastases treated in a multidisciplinary approach of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cetuximab and subsequent metastasectomy in pts who became resectable.

Object Gangliogliomas comprise less than 1% of all brain tumors and occur most often in children. Therefore, there are a limited number of patients and data involving the use or role of adjuvant therapy after subtotal resections (STRs) of gangliogliomas. The objective of this study was to examine and review the Mayo Clinic experience of 88 patients with gangliogliomas, their follow-up, risk of recurrence, and the role of radiation therapy after STR or only biopsy. Methods Eighty-eight patients with gangliogliomas diagnosed between 1970 and 2007 were reviewed. Data on clinical outcomes and therapy received were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival. Results The median age at diagnosis was 19 years. The median potential follow-up as of June 2008 was 142 months (range 9–416 months). Fifteen-year overall survival was 94%, median PFS was 5.6 years, with a 10-year PFS rate of 37%. Progression-free survival was dramatically affected by extent of initial resection (p < 0.0001). Conclusions This single-institution retrospective series of patients with gangliogliomas is unique given its large cohort size with a long follow-up duration, and confirms the excellent long-term survival rate in this group. The study also shows the importance of resection extent on likelihood of recurrence. Patients with gangliogliomas who undergo STR or biopsy alone have poor PFS. Radiation therapy may delay time to progression in patients with unresectable disease.

8553 Purpose: Because long-term survival after therapy for advanced stage IV melanoma is rare, we thought it would be useful to examine our series of survivors treated with biochemotherapy for melanoma to analyze the characteristics of survivors and their chronic toxicities. Patients and Methods: We reviewed our previously reported (J Clin Oncol. 2005:23:16s suppl, abstract 7547) consecutive series of 38 patients treated between 9/02 and 7/04. They received 6 cycles of inpatient temozolomide, cisplatin, vinblastine, decrescendo high- dose iv IL-2 , and interferon followed by maintenance immunotherapy using IL-2 and sargramostim using the O’Day regimen (Clinical Cancer Res. 2002:8:2775).Two of the ten long-term survivors received surgery for resection of residual disease after achieving a partial response with biochemotherapy. Maintenance immunotherapy was given for 6 to 24 months after biochemotherapy. Results: The median progression- free survival was 7.3 months. No patient developed progression later than 17 months after the start of therapy with the progression-free survival curve level at 24%. Median overall survival was 16.2 months. 10 of the 38 patients are alive and disease-free off therapy after an average of 3.3 years follow-up. Durable complete responses were seen in visceral sites including lung, bone, and pericardium, with 8 of 10 long- term survivors having M1B or M1C disease. 3 patients have significant lymphedema related to prior surgery, radiation therapy, or both. 2 patients, one with pre-existing diabetes, have significant persisting neuropathy. 5 of the 10 patients are hypothyroid. Menstrual function returned in the three women under age 45 in this study. Conclusion: This series supports the findings from other series that biochemotherapy, like high-dose IL-2, can give prolonged disease-free survival. Survivors have a high incidence of hypothyroidism but neuropathy and lymphedema, which affected a minority of patients, were the most bothersome long-term toxicities. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e16202 Background: There are limited treatment options for advanced neuroendocrine tumours, and radiolabelled somatostatin analogues have shown favourable safety and efficacy over other existing treatments. Lutetium Octreotate has been shown to be the somatostatin analogue of choice in Peptide Radiolabelled Radiotherapy (PRRT) for advanced neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the long term safety and survival outcomes of 104 patients prospectively treated on the CLEMENT1, CLEMENT2, NETTLE, and NETT VALuE trials where patients with advanced progressive NETs were treated with Lutetium Octreotate PRRT in Perth, Western Australia. With a median follow-up time of 68 months, this is the longest follow-up study of advanced NETs treated with Lutetium PRRT in the literature to date. Results: Results showed comparable periods of disease stability as other studies, with median progression free survival of 43 months, and superior survival to other series, with a median survival of 71 months. There were patients who had very durable responses, with five year overall survival 61.5%, five year progression free survival 30.1%, 10 year overall survival 30.1%, and 10 year progression free survival of 29.3%, demonstrating Lu 177 can provide a very long duration of response in some patients. PRRT treatment was well tolerated with 1.9% of patients suffering long term renal impairment, and 1% with long term mild thrombocytopenia attributed to PRRT. Importantly, there was a higher rate of MDS and leukaemia in our series (6.7%), which is likely attributed to the longer period of follow-up with all except one case occurring 48 months after PRRT treatment, which is later than the median follow up in most other studies. Conclusions: Overall, this study showed that Lutetium PRRT remains an efficacious and well tolerated treatment in long term follow-up. For clinicians deciding on the timing of PRRT for individual patients the 6.7% long term risk of MDS/leukaemia needs to be balanced against the 29.3% PFS at 10 years.

Abstract Abstract 3126 Background: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after high-dose melphalan 200mg/m2 has got an important role in the treatment of symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM). The prognostic significance of achieving complete response (CR) after ASCT was cause of great debate for a long time. Some studies have shown the strong prognostic significance of achieving CR in MM, but other studies have failed to correlation between strength of the response and outcome. Aim: In this report we describe the long-term outcome of cohort 232 MM patients (pts) after ASCT with aim to establish the actual prognosis for the different response categories and to analyse other factors that might predict for long-term survival. Methods: We evaluated 232 pts with newly diagnosed symptomatic MM who received ASCT as a part of the first-line treatment between 1995 and 2005, median follow-up from ASCT was 131 months (range 61–195). Results: Following ASCT, overall response rate was 90% (202/232), 23% (52/232) of pts were in complete remission (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) was achieved in 45% of pts (100/232), partial response (PR) in 22% of pts (50/232), minimal response (MR) or stable disease (SD) in 10% of pts (22/232). Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from ASCT were 30.8 and 71.9 months, respectively. Progression-free survival at 12 years after ASCT in different response categories was 41% for pts with CR, 11% for pts with VGPR and 10% for pts with PR. Overall survival at 12 years after ASCT was 51% for pts with CR, 22% for pts with VGPR and 20% for pts with PR. The achievement of CR after ASCT was independent factor for long-term survival, significance differences in OS and PFS were found between CR and non-CR groups (P under 0.001 and P under 0.001, respectively). On multivariate analysis, the other factors associated with significantly better OS were ISS stage under III (P = 0.002), no presence of renal impairment (P = 0.008), age under 60 years (P = 0.001), no presence of deletion 1q21 (P = 0.029) and lenalidomide treatment in the post-transplant relapse (P = 0.002). Conclusion: The achievement of complete response after ASCT in multiple myeloma is the most important prognostic factor, even after long-term follow-up. The relapse rate is low in patients who remained in CR after 12 years from ASCT. A long-term complete remission should be a goal of treatment.
