e17090 Background: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is one kind of Epithelial ovarian carcinoma and is considered high-grade tumor. This retrospective analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathologic features and to determine prognostic variables in patients with stage I ovarian clear cell cancer. Methods: 378 patients with ovarian clear cell cancer were treated in National Cancer Center, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, from February 1999 to December 2018. And 214(56.6%) had stage I disease. We retrospectively analyzed the prognostic relevance of different clinicopathological variables in 102 patients underwent surgery treatment, specifically including age, initial symptom, endometriosis, stage, tumor size, serum CA125 and CA199, chemotherapy regimens and treatment course. Results: The median age was 51 years old. 64(62.7%) patients presented with large pelvic mass (median diameter:12.0cm). 82.4% patients had no more than 200U/ml elevation of serological CA125(median: 50.76U/ml). 81.8% patients had no more than 100U/ml elevation of serological CA199(median: 24.8U/ml). The median follow-up time was 40.5 months. The 5-year disease-free survival was 82.8%. All patients were restaged using the 2014 FIGO staging system. 31(30.4%), 17(16.7%), 25(24.5%), 17(16.7%)patients had stage IA, IC1, IC2, IC3, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size(P = 0.045) and serum CA199(P = 0.025) were related with poor disease-free survival. 5-year disease-free survival (86.9%) of patients with four course chemotherapy was comparable to that (80.2%) with five or more. Patients at stage IC1 or IC2/IC3(rupture before surgery) had the similar outcomes compared with patients at stage IA. And the results of multivariate statistical analysis showed there was no independent, statistically significant prognostic variable. Conclusions: Tumor size and serum CA199 were related with prognosis. Disease-free survival at stage IC1 or IC2/IC3 was comparable to that at stage IA. Five course chemotherapy or more may not improve the 5-year disease-free survival than four.

e16047 Background: Management of stage I SGCC depends on pathological findings after orchiectomy. Four risk-adapted strategies were sequentially applied in a single institution during a 24-year (yr) period according to national guidelines. Here, we compare treatment burden and outcomes of each of them. Methods: From 1/1994 to 1/2018, 208 patients with stage I SGCC were prospectively included in 4 cohorts. Those without risk criteria underwent close surveillance. Patients received active treatment as follow: Group 1: 1994-1999, only patients with T > pT1 received 2 cycles of carboplatin (CBDCA AUC7 x2); Group 2: 1999-2003, patients received CBDCA AUC7 x2 if either tumor size > 4cm or rete testis invasion; Group 3 : 2004-2009, CBDCA AUC7 x2 if both tumor size > 4cm and rete testis invasion were present; Group 4 : ≥2010, CBDCA AUC7 x1 if either tumor size > 4cm or rete testis invasion. Kaplan Meier and log-rank tests were used to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS), Kruskal-Wallis test to compare amount of chemotherapy received per patient. Results: At a median follow-up of 108 months [range 3-423], 19 (9.1%) relapses had occurred. Global 3 and 5-yr DFS were 92.3% and 90%. All relapsing patients were rendered disease-free with 4 cycles of cisplatin (CDDP) - etoposide. Table 1 summarizes results by cohort: Conclusions: A risk-adapted program provided an overall specific survival of 100%. A clinically significant difference in RR was observed when 1 or 2 courses of CBDCA were given. In our series and considering treatment burden, vascular invasion was a better criteria for patient selection to adjuvant chemotherapy, showing a similar DFS but a lower no of total platinum cycles per patient.[Table: see text]

Aim: To investigate the prognostic significance of clinical and pathological factors of non-metastatic renal cell cancer after surgery. Patients and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the records of patients with non-metastatic renal cancer submitted to radical or partial nephrectomy between 2000 and 2015 in Salah-Azaiez Institute. Results: Median follow-up was 38 months (interquartile range: 20–64). Five-year overall and disease-free survival were 53.8% and 43.1%. In the multivariate setting, lymph node invasion (p = 0.01), clear cell renal carcinoma subtype (p = 0.014), and tumor necrosis (p = 0.009) were the only independent statistically significant predictors of disease-free survival, while Fuhrman grade (p = 0.025), clear cell renal carcinoma subtype (p = 0.044), and TNM stage (0.041) were the only factors correlated with overall survival. Conclusion: For patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma, independent predictors of disease-free survival and overall survival were clear cell renal cell carcinoma, Fuhrman grade, TNM stage, lymph node invasion, and tumor necrosis. Such information could be used to guide the intensity of follow-up and identify high-risk patients who can be targeted for adjuvant therapy trials.

Purpose Adjuvant carboplatin is one of three management strategies that may follow inguinal orchiectomy in clinical stage I seminoma. However, little is known about the outcome of patients who experience a relapse after such treatment. Patients and Methods Data from 185 patients who relapsed after adjuvant carboplatin between January 1987 and August 2013 at 31 centers/groups from 20 countries were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes were disease-free survival and overall survival. Secondary outcomes were time to, stage at, and treatment of relapse as well as rate of subsequent relapses. Results With a median follow-up of 53 months (95% CI, 48 to 60 months) the 5-year disease-free survival was 82% (95% CI, 77% to 89%), and the 5-year overall survival was 98% (95% CI, 95% to 100%). The median time from orchiectomy to relapse was 19 months (95% CI, 17 to 23 months); 15% (95% CI, 10% to 21%) of relapses occurred > 3 years after treatment. The majority of relapses were detected by computed tomography scan during routine follow-up, 98% in the International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group good prognosis group. Chemotherapy was administered to 92% of patients, mostly as standard first-line treatment corresponding to stage; 8% of patients had additional local treatments. Only 28 patients experienced a second relapse. At last follow-up, 174 (94%) of 185 patients were alive without disease, and four patients with disease. Seven patients died, three of whom due to progressive disease. Conclusion Within the limitations of a retrospective analysis, the results suggest that the majority of patients who experience a relapse after adjuvant carboplatin for clinical stage I seminoma can be successfully treated with a cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimen adequate for stage. Because 15% of the relapses occurred > 3 years after adjuvant treatment, a minimum of 5 years follow-up is recommended.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes and the factors related to patient prognosis. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at the Department of Gynecology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, between January 1, 1968, and December 12, 2018. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 107 patients were identified. Of all patients, 79 (73.8%) presented with stage I disease, 14 (13.1%) stage II, 13 (12.2%) stage III, and 1 (0.9%) stage IV. All patients received surgery, with 70 (65.4%) undergoing fertility-sparing surgery (FS) and 37 (34.6%) nonfertility-sparing surgery (NFS). Ninety patients received postoperative chemotherapy. Nine of the 43 cases with a lymphadenectomy had metastasis (20.9%). The median follow-up time was 132 months (range, 1–536 months). The overall 5-year and 10-year survival was 95.1% and 91.7%, respectively. The 10-year survival rate for stage I and II–IV patients was 96.1% and 79.1%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.008). For the patients undergoing FS and NFS, the 10-year disease-free survival rate was 82.3% and 88.0%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.403). The 10-year disease-free survival rate for patients with or without lymphadenectomy was 95.1% and 78.4%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.040), and it was 92.5% and 76.0%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.041), for those with or without omentectomy. Fifteen patients relapsed, and 4 of them (26.7%) had recurrence in the lymph nodes. Eleven of the 15 relapsed patients (73.3%) had been successfully salvaged. <b><i>Limitations:</i></b> As a study of a rare disease, our analysis was limited by its small sample size and the deemed disadvantage of a retrospective study. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Excellent treatment results can be achieved in dysgerminoma patients who received proper treatment. Lymphadenectomy may improve patient survival. Relapsed patients can also be successfully salvaged.

Background We investigated whether all size-based pathological T4N0–N1 non-small cell lung cancer patients with tumors at any size >7 cm had the same outcomes. Methods We reviewed non-small cell lung cancer patients with tumors >7 cm who underwent anatomical lung resection between 2010 and 2016. A total of 251 size-based T4N0–N1 patients were divided into two groups based on tumor size. Group S ( n = 192) included patients with tumors of 7.1–9.9 cm and Group L ( n = 59) as tumor size ≥10 cm. Results The mean tumor size was 8.83 ± 1.7 cm (Group S: 8.06 ± 0.6 cm, Group L: 11.3 ± 1.6 cm). There were 146 patients with pathological N0 and 105 patients with pathological N1 disease. Mean overall survival and disease-free survival were 64.2 and 51.4 months, respectively. The five-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 51.2% and 43.5% (five-year OS; pT4N0:52.7%, pT4N1:47.9%, DFS; pT4N0:44.3%, pT4N1: 42.3%). No significant differences were observed between T4N0 and T4N1 patients in terms of five-year OS or DFS ( p = 0.325, p = 0.505 respectively). The five-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 52% and 44.6% in Group S, and 48.5% and 38.9% in Group L. No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of five-year overall survival or disease-free survival ( p = 0.699, p = 0.608, respectively). Conclusions Above 7 cm, any further increase in tumor size in non-small cell lung cancer patients had no significant effect on survival, confirming it is not necessary to further discriminate among patients with tumors in that size class.

ObjectiveThe standard of care for early cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy; however, consideration of pre-operative brachytherapy has been explored. We report our experience using pre-operative brachytherapy plus Wertheim-type hysterectomy to treat early stage cervical cancer.MethodsThis single-center study evaluated consecutive patients with histologically proven node-negative early stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stage IB1–IIB) that was treated using pre-operative brachytherapy and hysterectomy. Pre-brachytherapy staging was performed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pelvic lymph node assessment was performed using lymphadenectomy. The tumor and cervical tissues were treated using brachytherapy (total dose 60 Gy) followed by Wertheim-type hysterectomy. The study included patients from January 2000 to December 2013.ResultsA total of 80 patients completed a median follow-up of 6.7 years (range 5.4–8.5). The surgical specimens revealed a pathological complete response for 61 patients (76%). Patients with incomplete responses generally had less than 1 cm residual tumor at the cervix, and only one patient had lymphovascular space involvement. The estimated 5-year rates were 88% for overall survival (95% CI 78% to 94%) and 82% for disease-free survival (95% CI 71% to 89%). Toxicities were generally mild-to-moderate, including 26 cases (33%) of grade 2 late toxicity and 10 cases (13%) of grade 3 late toxicity. Univariate analyses revealed that poor disease-free survival was associated with overweight status (≥25 kg/m2, HR 3.05, 95% CI 1.20 to 7.76, p=0.019) and MRI tumor size >3 cm (HR 3.05, 95% CI 1.23 to 7.51, p=0.016).ConclusionsPre-operative brachytherapy followed by Wertheim-type hysterectomy may be safe and effective for early stage cervical cancer, although poorer outcomes were associated with overweight status and MRI tumor size >3 cm.

Abstract Follicular lymphoma arising in an extranodal site is uncommon and its natural history and treatment is poorly characterized in the literature. We retrospectively reviewed a large cohort of patients with stage I and II follicular lymphoma and analyzed the outcomes of patients with extranodal (EN-FL) presentations to identify sites of involvement and treatment outcome, and compared these to patients with nodal follicular lymphoma. From 1967 to 1999, 668 cases of limited stage follicular lymphoma (stage I and II) were treated at the Princess Margaret Hospital. Of these, 157 cases (23.5%) presented in extra-nodal sites. The most common site of presentation was in the head and neck area (42%) followed by gastro-intestinal tract (14.6%) then skin (10.8%). The majority of patients had stage I disease (61.8%). Pathological type was follicular grade I: 22.9%, grade II: 33.1%, and grade III: 43.9%. Treatment consisted of involved field radiation therapy in 72%, combined modality therapy in 22.3% and chemotherapy alone in 3.8%. The treatment changed over time with increased use of combined modality treatment (CMT) [1967–77: 10.5%, vs. 1989–99: 33%] mainly due to the adoption of CMT for follicular grade III lymphoma. Overall complete response rate (CR) to primary treatment was 93%; the CR rate for radiation alone was 97.3%. The cumulative incidence of relapse (RR) was 44% at 10 years. The RR at 10 years was higher for patients age &gt;60 (62% vs. 49%; p =0.059) but did not vary according to stage, tumour bulk, gender or histologic grade. For extranodal lymphoma, the 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 56% and the 10-year disease free survival (DFS) was 42% and was similar for major sites of presentation. Comparison of Stage I–II Nodal and Extra-nodal Follicular Lymphoma Nodal Follicular Lymphoma Extra-nodal Follicular Lymphoma 10 yr Overall Survival 61% 56% (p=0.97) 10 year Disease Free Survival 41% 42% (p=0.27) 10 yr Relapse Rate 50% 44% (p=0.11) In conclusion, a significant number of patients with localized FL present with extra-nodal disease, involving diverse sites. Patients with EN-FL were more likely to have follicular grade III histology. OS, DFS and RR were similar to nodal follicular lymphoma. These results suggest that the clinical management of stage I and II extra-nodal follicular lymphoma should be the same as for nodal, and that a significant proportion of patients have prolonged DFS with radiation-based therapy.

10725 Background: To evaluate the efficacy of the Epirubicin as a part of the FEC60 AdCT in operable BrC patients in a Brazilian single-center. Methods: We verified retrospectively our experience with FEC 60 as AdCT in pre and postmenopausal, node positive and negative, pathologic stage I, II and III patients with BrC. Pts were submitted after surgery to receive Fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, Epirubicin 60 mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 every 28 days for 6 cycles. Pts who were ER+ and/or PR+ received Tamoxifen (TMX) 20 mg/day for 5 years after AdCT. Radiotherapy was also offered at the end of AdCT if indicated. All patients were evaluated in terms of 10 year (y) Disease Free Survival (DFS) and Overall Survival (OS). The most common toxicities (acute and chronic) and metastatic sites will also be reported. Results: Between July 1983 and December 1995 a total of 752 patients (ranging from 22 to 77 years old - median 47.7) were encountered and all of them were evaluated to 10 year (y) DFS and OS. Approximately 61% of these patients received adjuvant TMX. Pts in premenopausal and postmenopausal represented 62.5% and 37.5% respectively. 72 (11%) pts had pathological stage I; 353 (46%) pts had stage II and 327 (43%) had stage III. The 10y DFS was 70%, 46% and 19% for stage I, II and III respectively. The 10y OS after a minimal follow-up of 122.98 months was 74%, 48% and 20% for stage I, II and III respectively. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that FEC 60 regimen is active and well tolerated in the adjuvant treatment for BrC pts. We had about 89% of stage II and III pts and in this population FEC60 regimen add benefit. Nevertheless, the randomized studies indicate that the greatest anticancer effect of Epirubicin requires doses ranging from 75 to 120 mg/m2, but due to economic reasons (we integrate the brazilian public healthy system) we could not offer dosages greater than 60 mg/m2. FEC 60 was feasible and offered reasonable results in our population in terms of 10y DFS and OS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
