e17072 Background: Ovarian cancer is the first leading cause of cancer death among gynecologic malignancies. Despite significant efforts to improve treatment strategies, the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer remains poor. Different diagnostic period and the occurrence of distant metastases may have different impacts on prognosis. In this study, we sought to describe the impact of distant metastases and different diagnostic period on prognosis of ovarian cancer. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer from year 1973 to year 2015. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the overall survival (OS) and Log-Rank test was used to compare the difference between groups. Results: Total 152729 patients with ovarian cancer were included. Median age was 62 years. The overall rates of distant lymph node metastases, bone, brain, liver and lung were 2.9%, 1.0%, 0.2%, 6.6% and 5.6%. Median overall survival (OS) was 30 months, 6 months, 9 months, 20 months and 20 months for pure distant lymph node metastases, brain metastases, bone metastases, lung metastases and liver metastases, respectively. Patients who were diagnosed from year 2010 to year 2015 had significantly improved OS compared with patients who were diagnosed from year 1973 to year 2009 (54 months vs. 47 months, P < 0.0001). Patients with pure distant lymph node metastases who were diagnosed from year 2010 to year 2015 also had significantly improved OS compared with patients who were diagnosed from year 1973 to year 2009 (30 months vs. 24 months, P = 0.0002). In addition, we also observed a trend of longer OS in patients with bone metastases diagnosed from year 2014 to year 2015 compared with patients who were diagnosed year 2010 to year 2013 (10 months vs. 7 months, P = 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this analysis indicated an improved prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer from 2010 to 2014, especially for patients with distant lymph node metastases. In addition, novel treatment strategies are needed for patients with distant visceral metastases.

Abstract Background Esophageal cancer does not have a good prognosis despite being resectable. A recent randomized controlled trial (the Dutch CROSS study) showed the superiority of preoperative chemo-radiotherapy over surgery alone with regard to the five-year survival. At present, this therapeutic approach is regarded as the standard care in the United States and Europe. However, the prognosis in cases where part of the tumor remains is poor, so additional adjuvant therapy is required. The impact of the histopathological lymph node metastases status after preoperative chemo-radiotherapy on the prognosis is unknown, and is which patients require additional adjuvant therapy to manage lymph node metastases. Methods Esophageal cancer patients with more than five lymph node metastases or lymph node metastases spreading into three fields have a poor prognosis, despite their tumor being resectable. We therefore performed neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy in these patients in 1998 (NACRT group). We also performed chemo-radiotherapy for initially unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer invading adjacent organs and curative surgery for the above-mentioned patients in whom the invasion had disappeared after chemo-radiotherapy (conversion group). The chemo-radiotherapy regimen was the same for both groups and consisted of radiotherapy 40 Gy/20 fr and chemotherapy with 5-FU (500 mg/m2 days 0–4) and CDDP (15 mg/m2 days 1–5). We then examined the impact of the histopathological lymph node metastasis status after preoperative chemo-radiotherapy on the prognosis in our institute. Results Patients with three or more histopathological lymph node metastases had a significantly poorer prognosis than those with fewer metastases in both groups. In the NACRT group, the 5-year survival rate was 35.5% vs. 36.1% (number of lymph node metastases 0 vs. ≥ 1; P = 0.889), 34.0% vs. 36.7% (0–1 vs. ≥ 2; P = 0.678), and 47.1% vs. 0% (0–2 vs. ≥ 3; P = 0.003). In conversion group, it was 40.4% vs. 43.6% (number of lymph node metastases 0 vs. ≥ 1; P = 0.841), 45.6% vs. 33.6% (0–1 vs. ≥ 2; P = 0.106), and 49.5% vs. 20.0% (0–2 vs. ≥ 3; P = 0.025). Conclusion Patients with three or more histopathological lymph node metastases after preoperative chemo-radiotherapy had a significantly poorer prognosis than those with fewer metastases and required additional adjuvant therapy.

Summary Objective To analyze data obtained in a representative number of patients with primary rectal cancer with respect to lymph node diagnostics and related tumor stages. Methods In pT2-, pT3-, and pT4 rectal cancer lesions, the impact of investigated lymph nodes on the frequency of pN+ status, the cumulative risk of metachronous distant metastases, and overall survival was studied by means of a prospective multicenter observational study over a defined period of time. Results From 2000 to 2011, the proportion of surgical specimens with ≥ 12 investigated lymph nodes increased significantly, from 73.6% to 93.2% (p < 0.001; the number of investigated lymph nodes from 16.2 to 20.8; p < 0.001). Despite this, the percentage of pN+ rectal cancer lesions varied only non-significantly (39.9% to 45.9%; p = 0.130; median, 44.1%). For pT2-, pT3-, and pT4 rectal cancer lesions, there was an increasing proportion of pN+ findings correlating significantly with the number of investigated lymph nodes up to n = 12 investigated lymph nodes. Only in pT3 rectal cancer was there a significant increase in pN+ findings in case of > 12 lymph nodes (p = 0.001), but not in pT2 (p = 0.655) and pT4 cancer lesions (p = 0.256). For pT3pN0cM0 rectal cancer, the risk of metachronous distant metastases and overall survival did not depend on the number of investigated lymph nodes. Conclusion In rectal cancer, at least n = 12 lymph nodes are to be minimally investigated. The investigation of fewer lymph nodes is associated with a higher risk of false-negative pN0 findings. In particular, in pT3 rectal cancer, the investigation of more than 12 lymph nodes lowers the risk of false-negative pN0 findings. An upstaging effect by the investigation of a possibly maximal number of lymph nodes could not be detected.

84 Background: The optimal management of isolated distant lymph node metastases (IDLNM) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is not clearly established. Small case series and prior data from the TRACC (Treatment of Recurrent and Advanced Colorectal Cancer) registry support the use of radical treatment with curative intent (local resection, chemo-radiation or stereotactic radiotherapy), which may lead to better outcomes in mCRC patients with IDLNM. Aims: This study investigates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of mCRC patients with IDLNM treated with systemic therapies plus locoregional therapy with curative intent versus systemic therapies with palliative intent. Methods: Clinical data were collected and reviewed from the TRACC registry, a prospective, comprehensive registry for mCRC from multiple tertiary hospitals across Australia from 01/07/2009 to 30/06/2020. Clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities and survival outcomes were analyzed in patients with IDLNM and compared to patients with other organ metastases. Fisher exact test was used for significance tests and Kaplan Meier curves for survival analyses. Results: Of 3408 mCRC patients with a median follow-up of 38.0 months, 93 (2.7%) were found to have IDLNM. Compared to mCRC with other organ metastases, patients with IDLNM were younger (mean age: 62.1 vs 65.6 years, p=0.0200), more likely to have metachronous disease (57.0% vs 38.9%, p=0.0005), be KRAS wild-type (74.6% vs 53.9%, p=0.0012) and BRAF mutant (12.9% vs 6.2%, p=0.0100). There was no overall survival difference between with IDLNM and those with other organ metastases (median OS 27.24 vs 25.92 months, p=0.2300). Twenty-four patients (25.8%) with IDLNM received treatment with curative intent, with a trend towards improved overall survival compared to those with other organ metastases treated with curative intent (73.5 vs 62.7 months, p=0.8200). Amongst mCRC patients with IDLNM, those who received treatment with curative intent had a significantly better overall survival than those treated with palliative intent (73.5months vs 23.2 months, p=0.0070). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there are differences in the patterns of presentation of IDLNM and other organ metastases. Radical treatment with curative intent options should be considered for mCRC patients with IDLNM where appropriate.

Objective: The skip N2 metastases were frequent in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the better prognosis of NSCLC with a skip over non-skip N2 lymph node metastases is controversial. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the prognosis effect of skip N2 lymph node metastases on the survival of NSCLC.Setting: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library with the term of “N2” or “mediastinal lymph node” or “mediastinal nodal metastases”, and “lung cancer” and “skip” or “skipping” in the title/abstract field. The primary outcomes of interests are 3- and 5-year survival in NSCLC.Participants: Patients who underwent complete resection by lobectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy with systemic ipsilateral lymphadenectomy and were staged as pathologically N2 were included.Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures: The 3- and 5-year survival of NSCLC was analyzed. The impact of publication year, number of patients, baseline mean age, gender, histology, adjuvant therapy, number of skip N2 stations, and survival analysis methods on the primary outcome were also analyzed.Results: A total of 21 of 409 studies with 6,806 patients met the inclusion criteria and were finally included for the analysis. The skip N2 lymph node metastases NSCLC had a significantly better overall survival (OS) than the non-skip N2 NSCLC [hazard ratio (HR), 0.71; 95% CI, 0.62–0.82; P &lt; 0.001; I2 = 40.4%]. The skip N2 lymph node metastases NSCLC had significantly higher 3- and 5-year survival rates than the non-skip N2 lymph node metastases NSCLC (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.66–0.84; P &lt; 0.001; I2 = 60%; and OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.71–0.86; P &lt; 0.001; I2 = 67.1%, respectively).Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that the prognosis of skip N2 lymph node metastases NSCLC is better than that of a non-skip N2 lymph node.

9569 Background: Mucosal melanoma is rare and associated with extremely poor prognosis. Little is known about its outcome and prognostic analysis. In this study, we evaluated prognostic factors among mucosal melanomas. Methods: The survival rates, Relapse Free Survival (RFS), Overall Survival (OS) and prognostic factors were compared for 706 mucosal melanomas at different anatomical sites. Results: Mucosal melanoma from nasal pharyngeal and oral (268 pts), upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) (221 pts), gynecological and urological (196 pts) had a similar survival with a 1-y survival rate (88%, 83%, 86%), 2-y survival rate (66%, 57%, 61%), 5-y survival rate (27%, 16%, 20%), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that Depth of Invasion (p < 0.001), Lymph node metastases (p < 0.001), Distant metastases (p < 0.001) were three independent prognostic factors for OS among 706 pts. Anatomical site (p = 0.031), Depth of Invasion (p < 0.001), Lymph node metastases (p < 0.001) were three independent prognostic factors for RFS among 543 pts. KPS status, Depth of Invasion, Lymph node metastases, Distant metastases were independent factors for OS among nasal pharyngeal and oral pts. Depth of Invasion, Lymph node metastases, CKIT Mutation were independent factors for RFS among nasal pharyngeal and oral pts. Gender, Lymph node metastases, Distant metastases were independent factors for OS among GI pts. Gender, Depth of Invasion, Lymph node metastases were independent factors for RFS among GI pts. Lymph node metastases, Distant metastases were independent factors for OS among Gynecological and Urological pts. Depth of Invasion, Lymph node metastases were independent factors for RFS among Gynecological and Urological pts. Conclusions: This is the first prognostic analysis for mucosal melanoma with the largest sample size for the first time. with few exceptions, It revealed that Depth of Invasion, Lymph node metastases, Distant metastases were independent prognostic factors for OS, Depth of Invasion and Lymph node metastases were independent prognostic factors for RFS. These results should be incorporated into the establishment of stage system and design of future clinical trials involving patients with mucosal melanoma.

e21527 Background: The retrospective study was performed to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and survival associated with distant metastasis from advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation. Methods: The records of metastasis NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation at the time of diagnosis between 2012 and 2018 were reviewed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess survival curves and the log-rank test was used in the univariate analysis. The multivariate survival analysis were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model to investigate the effects of clinicopathological factors on survival. All the statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 statistical software and a statistically significant difference was determined as P < 0.05. Results: A total of 258 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation were enrolled in this study, including 146 cases of female (56.6%), 241 cases of adenocarcinoma (93.4%) and 212 cases of non-smokers (82.2%). Among these patients, 65(25.2%), 111(43.0%), 22(8.5%), 107 (41.5%), 11(4.3%), 87 (33.7%), 65 (25.2%) had brain, bone, liver, lung, adrenal gland, pleural metastasis and extrathoracic lymph node metastases, respectively. The median OS of total patients was 32.9 months (95% CI: 29.8-36.0). In the univariate analysis, patients with metastases to the bone (p = 0.001), liver (p = 0.012), extrathoracic lymph node(p = 0.006), and pleural(p = 0.008) exhibited a poorer survival compared to those without metastases to these regions. Abdominal metastases (p = 0.005) and extremity metastases (p = 0.002) were statistically independent prognostic factors. Association between metastatic region and the response to TKI treatment, liver metastases (p = 0.033), extrathoracic lymph node metastases (p = 0.000) and bone metastases (p = 0.009) were correlated with the poor response of TKI treatment, and the abdominal metastasis ( p= 0.029) and extremity metastases ( p= 0.016) were correlated with the poor response of TKI treatment. Conclusions: Bone metastases, liver metastases, extrathoracic lymph node metastases and pleural metastases were independent prognostic factors of NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation. Liver metastases, extrathoracic lymph node metastases, and bone metastases were correlated with the poor response of TKI treatment.
