176 Background: NCI’s SEER Program provides cancer incidence and survival statistics for ~28% of the US. New research models are needed to characterize the use and impact of genomic tests on patient outcomes. Genomic Health and SEER collaborated to electronically supplement SEER registries with Recurrence Score (RS) results, and have evaluated breast cancer specific mortality (BCSM) in early stage hormone receptor (HR)+ HER2- invasive breast cancer. Methods: Pts were eligible for pre-specified node negative (N-) disease analysis if HR+, HER2- (by RT-PCR), no prior malignancy, 40-85 years of age, and diagnosed between Jan 2004 (Oncotype DX available Jan 2004) and Dec 2011 (SEER survival analysis complete through 2012). BCSM was defined as previously described (Howlader et al, JNCI 2010). Additional analyses of BCSM were performed for pts with N+ disease. Results: Of 169,158 eligible N- pts, 38,568 (23%) had a RS, increasing from 2% in 2004 to 35% in 2011. Pts with RS had median age of 57yr, were 99.4% female, 84% white, 29% grade 1 & 54% grade 2, 25% < 1cm & 53% 1-2cm. Median FU was 39mo. 8,239 pts had > 5yrs follow-up. Among RS < 18 (N = 21,023), RS 18-30 (N = 14,494) and RS ≥ 31 (N = 3,051) pts, chemotherapy use was reported in 7%, 34%, & 69%, respectively, and 5yr N- BCSM was 0.4% (95% CI, 0.3-0.6), 1.4% (95% CI, 1.1-1.7) and 4.4% (95% CI,3.4-5.6), respectively. Multivariate showed that RS was significantly associated with BCSM after adjusting for age, grade, and tumor size (p < 0.001), and when stratified by treatment (p < 0.001). BCSM results in additional N- subgroups (e.g., socioeconomic), and in > 60,000 N+ pts will be presented. Conclusions: 5yr survival outcomes are excellent in the over 21,000 N- pts with RS < 18 disease. RS ≥ 31 disease is associated with greater 5yr mortality despite addition of chemotherapy. The large sample size of this population-based observational study provides important information on prospective outcomes in subsets of pts that are often underrepresented in randomized clinical trials.

Background: To evaluate the performance of the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) assay in predicting chemotherapy benefit in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results population, we aimed to assess breast cancer-specific mortality (BCSM) by chemotherapy use within each of the RS categories. Methods: Data on breast cancer (BC) cases diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 with available RS results were released. Our analysis included patients with hormone receptor-positive, node-negative early-stage BC (n = 89,402), and three RS groups were defined; RS < 11, low; RS 11–25, intermediate; RS > 25, high. A propensity score matched-analysis was performed to assess and compare BCSM. Results: Chemotherapy was significantly associated with a reduced risk of BC death among patients in the high RS group (hazard ratio = 0.782; 95% CI, 0.618–0.990; p = 0.041). However, in the low and intermediate RS groups, there were no significant differences in BCSM between patients who received chemotherapy and those who did not. Among those with RS 11–25, chemotherapy benefit varied with tumor size (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings provide real-world evidence that the 21-gene RS assay is predictive of chemotherapy benefit among patients in clinical practice. More refined risk estimates would be needed for patients with an intermediate RS.

This study aimed to investigate type of loco-regional treatment received, associated treatment factors and mortality outcomes in New Zealand women with early-stage breast cancer who were eligible for breast conserving surgery (BCS). This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Auckland and Waikato Breast Cancer Registers and involves 6972 women who were diagnosed with early-stage primary breast cancer (I-IIIa) between 1 January 2000 and 31 July 2015, were eligible for BCS and had received one of four loco-regional treatments: breast conserving surgery (BCS), BCS followed by radiotherapy (BCS + RT), mastectomy (MTX) or MTX followed by radiotherapy (MTX + RT), as their primary cancer treatment. About 66.1% of women received BCS + RT, 8.4% received BCS only, 21.6% received MTX alone and 3.9% received MTX + RT. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with the receipt of the BCS + RT (standard treatment). Differences in the uptake of BCS + RT were present across patient demographic and clinical factors. BCS + RT was less likely amongst patients who were older (75+ years old), were of Asian ethnicity, resided in impoverished areas or areas within the Auckland region and were treated in a public healthcare facility. Additionally, BCS + RT was less likely among patients diagnosed symptomatically, diagnosed during 2000–2004, had an unknown tumour grade, negative/unknown oestrogen and progesterone receptor status or tumour sizes ≥ 20 mm, ≤50 mm and had nodal involvement. Competing risk regression analysis was undertaken to estimate the breast cancer-specific mortality associated with each of the four loco-regional treatments received. Over a median follow-up of 8.8 years, women who received MTX alone had a higher risk of breast cancer-specific mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.38, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05–1.82) compared to women who received BCS + RT. MTX + RT and BCS alone did not have any statistically different risk of mortality when compared to BCS + RT. Further inquiry is needed as to any advantages BCS + RT may have over MTX alternatives.

Abstract The 21-gene Recurrence Score assay is validated to predict recurrence risk and chemotherapy benefit in hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) invasive breast cancer. To determine prospective breast-cancer-specific mortality (BCSM) outcomes by baseline Recurrence Score results and clinical covariates, the National Cancer Institute collaborated with Genomic Health and 14 population-based registries in the the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program to electronically supplement cancer surveillance data with Recurrence Score results. The prespecified primary analysis cohort was 40–84 years of age, and had node-negative, HR+, HER2-negative, nonmetastatic disease diagnosed between January 2004 and December 2011 in the entire SEER population, and Recurrence Score results (N=38,568). Unadjusted 5-year BCSM were 0.4% (n=21,023; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.3–0.6%), 1.4% (n=14,494; 95% CI, 1.1–1.7%), and 4.4% (n=3,051; 95% CI, 3.4–5.6%) for Recurrence Score <18, 18–30, and ⩾31 groups, respectively (P<0.001). In multivariable analysis adjusted for age, tumor size, grade, and race, the Recurrence Score result predicted BCSM (P<0.001). Among patients with node-positive disease (micrometastases and up to three positive nodes; N=4,691), 5-year BCSM (unadjusted) was 1.0% (n=2,694; 95% CI, 0.5–2.0%), 2.3% (n=1,669; 95% CI, 1.3–4.1%), and 14.3% (n=328; 95% CI, 8.4–23.8%) for Recurrence Score <18, 18–30, ⩾31 groups, respectively (P<0.001). Five-year BCSM by Recurrence Score group are reported for important patient subgroups, including age, race, tumor size, grade, and socioeconomic status. This SEER study represents the largest report of prospective BCSM outcomes based on Recurrence Score results for patients with HR+, HER2-negative, node-negative, or node-positive breast cancer, including subgroups often under-represented in clinical trials.

Introduction: In a previous study our group showed a beneficial effect of targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) as an intraoperative boost on overall survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) compared to an external boost (EBRT). In this study we present the results of a detailed subgroup analysis of the hormone receptor (HR)-positive HER2-negative patients. Methods: In this cohort study involving 46 patients with HR-positive HER2-negative breast cancer after NACT, we compared the outcomes of 21 patients who received an IORT boost to those of 25 patients treated with an EBRT boost. All patients received whole breast radiotherapy. Results: Median follow-up was 49 months. Whereas disease-free-survival and breast cancer-specific mortality were not significantly different between the groups, the 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of overall mortality was significantly lower by 21% with IORT, p = 0.028. Non-breast cancer-specific mortality was significantly lower by 16% with IORT, p = 0.047. Conclusion: Although our results have to be interpreted with caution, we have shown that the improved overall survival demonstrated previously could be reproduced in the HR-positive HER2-negative subgroup. These data give further support to the inclusion of such patients in the TARGIT-B (Boost) randomised trial that is testing whether IORT boost is superior to EBRT boost.
