535 Background: Young age at breast cancer diagnosis is considered a poor prognostic factor. As a result, many treatment guidelines advice adjuvant systemic treatment for young patients. Answering prognostic questions on young patients has therefore become a challenge. The PARADIGM (PAtients with bReast cAncer DIaGnosed preMenopausally) project aims to assess the long-term outcome of women diagnosed with breast cancer ≤40 years in the absence of adjuvant systemic therapy, using real world data from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) coupled with tissue biobanking. Methods: All women ≤40 years, diagnosed in the Netherlands between 1989-2000 with a primary invasive, histologically proven, TanyN0M0 breast cancer, without adjuvant systemic treatment were identified through the NCR. Back then N0 patients were considered low risk and did not receive adjuvant systemic treatment. Tissue specimens were revised by a team of dedicated breast pathologists. Cox regression was performed to estimate hazard ratios for recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) according to immunohistochemical (IHC) subtype. Analyses were adjusted for grade, pathological T-stage, histological subtype and radiotherapy. Results: We included 2310 patients with a mean follow-up of 15.4 years (range 0-25 years). OS for the whole cohort was 68% and RFS 58.4% at 25 years. In total 740 deaths and 1043 recurrences were observed. Hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2+ patients had a significantly worse OS when compared to HR-HER2+ patients (adjusted Hazard Ratio 1.58; 95% confidence interval 1.05-2.38; p=0.029). No difference was observed between HR-HER2+ and the triple negative and HR+/HER2- subgroups at 25-years. RFS was similar for all IHC subtypes. Conclusions: In this large cohort of non-adjuvant systemically treated young breast cancer patients with long-term follow-up HR+/HER2+ patients have a significantly worse survival when compared to triple negative, HR-/HER2+ and HR+/HER2- patients. The latter three subtypes have similar OS at 25 years. Future molecular studies have been planned to distinguish the favorable from the unfavorable prognostic patients.

Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective observational study of one cohort was to evaluate the long-term outcome in patients younger than 60 years after total hip arthroplasty using a straight uncemented stem and an uncemented threaded cup. Methods Between 1986 and 1987, 75 hips of 75 patients (mean age, 53.35 ± 6.17 years) were consecutively implanted with an Alloclassic Zweymüller/Alloclassic SL stem and an Alloclassic CSF cup. Forty-four patients had died over the last 30 years. The remaining 31 patients (mean age, 82.9 ± 6.4 years) were reinvited for follow-up examinations. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were carried out. Results At a mean follow-up of 29.5 (28.8–30.2), 4 patients (5.3%) were lost to follow-up. For the endpoint aseptic loosening (defined as the removal of stem or the cup for 2 cases), the overall survival rate is 97.3%. For the endpoint revision for any reason (22 patients), the survival rate is 70.6%. Eleven patients needed an exchange of head and liner, caused by wear. The average time from implantation until change of head and liner was 21.44 years (SD 5.92). Other reasons for revision surgery were septic loosening (3 cases), aseptic loosening of stem and cup (1 case), aseptic loosening of stem (1 case), periprosthetic calcification (2 cases), implant fracture (1 case), periprosthetic fracture (1 case), intraoperative fissure of stem (1 case), and total wear of liner including cup (1 case). Conclusion The combination of a straight stem (Alloclassic) and a screw cup (CSF) shows excellent results in young patients under the age of 60 at ultra-long-term follow-up at 30 years. Revisions due to wear of the polyethylene liner are more likely than in the older patients.

e13575 Background: Long-term safety of pregnancy after breast cancer still remained controversial, especially according to tumor subtypes. Prior results of other studies have limitations of short follow-up periods or small groups. Methods: We analyzed a population-based retrospective cohort data extracted from a random sample of 50% of women aged between 20 and 60 years who were diagnosed with breast cancer from 2002 to 2017 in the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Propensity score matching analysis for age and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) variables was performed for pregnant groups and non-pregnant groups with the same type of hormone therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Study population was categorized to 4 biologic subgroups by the combination of hormone therapy, chemotherapy and target therapy. In this observational study, 1,566 patients with pregnancy after breast cancer were matched (1:2) to 2,462 non-pregnant patients of similar characteristics, adjusting for guaranteed bias. The matched patients were followed up to 7 years, or disease and mortality occurrence after the diagnosis of breast cancer. Survival estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis, groups were compared with the log-rank test. Results: Mean time from diagnosis to pregnancy was 3.4 years in study population. At a follow-up of 7 years after pregnancy, no inferiority in disease-free survival and overall survival was observed in pregnant patients factoring in treatment bias. In sub-analysis according to tumor subtypes, no difference in disease-free survival was observed between pregnant and non-pregnant patients in HR-positive and triple negative subgroup ( p= 0.088, p= 0.048, respectively). Likewise, no overall survival difference was observed in ER-positive patients and triple negative patients ( p= 0.05∼0.73, p= 0.03∼0.09, respectively). Conclusions: Our observational data provides reassuring evidence on long-term safety of pregnancy in young breast cancer patients, regardless of tumor subtypes.
