724 Background: Nivolumab is a standard treatment for previously treated advanced renal-cell carcinoma (RCC). However, nivolumab is effective in only a limited number of patients; therefore, we evaluated the prognostic value of several biomarkers, including inflammation-based prognostic scores and changes in these scores following nivolumab treatment in Japanese patients with metastatic RCC. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 65 patients with previously treated metastatic RCC and who received nivolumab. MSKCC and IMDC risk, inflammation-based prognostic scores, including neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and Glasgow prognostic score before and 6 weeks after the treatment were recorded. Categorical variables influencing disease-specific and overall survival were compared using Cox proportional-hazards regression models. Results: Univariate analysis showed that MSKCC risk score ( P = 0.0052), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ( P = 0.0266), LMR ( P = 0.0113), and PLR ( P = 0.0017) had a significant effect on disease-specific survival. Multivariate analyses showed that PLR and LDH were found to be independent prognostic factors for disease-specific survival ( P = 0.0008, RR = 7.95, 95% CI, 2.16–51.64 and P = 0.0123, RR = 3.92, 95% CI, 1.37–10.80, respectively). The combination of PLR and LDH was the most significant prognostic biomarker in metastatic RCC for disease-specific ( P < 0.0001) and overall ( P < 0.0001) survival. Changes in LMR and PLR in response to nivolumab were significant prognostic factors for disease-specific survival ( P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0477, respectively). Conclusions: The combination of PLR and LDH may be a potential biomarker for estimating disease-specific and overall survival in Japanese patients with metastatic RCC treated by nivolumab. If changes of inflammation-based prognostic scores in response to nivolumab treatment might be improved, nivolumab treatment should be continued.

Abstract Solitary plasmacytoma (PCM) is a focal, neoplastic, plasma cell disorder without evidence of systemic disease. While PCM is a clinically distinct entity, survival can be limited by progression to multiple myeloma. Prior studies have attempted to identify factors influencing survival in PCM but have been limited by small patient cohorts. This study identified 1472 patients with PCM using the SEER database between 1988 and 2004. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range 12–97), 65.4% male, 34.6% female, 83% Caucasians, 10.7% African Americans and 6.3% other races. 63.8% had medullary PCM and 36.2% extramedullary PCM. 84% of medullary PCM occurred in axial skeleton and the rest in appendicular skeleton. Extramedullary PCM most frequently occurred in the head and neck region (51.4%) followed by skin/subcutaneous tissue (16.2%), GI tract 6% and other sites (26.4%). 55.2% were treated with radiation therapy alone, 29.5% with radiation therapy and surgery and 15.3% with surgery alone. 558 died during this period and the mean overall survival was 6.83 years (range, 0–16.9). The cause of death was multiple myeloma in 49.6%, other cancers 20.9% and cardiovascular diseases 12.9%. In all patients, survival probability at one year was 87.6% (95% CI, 85–89%), at five years was 58.9% (95% CI, 56–62%), and at 10 years was 40.0% (95% CI, 36–44%). The five year overall survival in the ≤40yo cohort was 83.5% as compared to 76.7% and 44.8% in the 40–60yo and &gt;60yo groups, respectively (p&lt;0.0001). The five year disease specific survival probability in the ≤40yo cohort was 94.5% as compared to 86.0% and 66.2% in the 40–60yo group and &gt;60yo group, respectively (p&lt;0.0001) (figure 1)). Overall survival in the extramedullary PCM was 65.9% at five years as compared to 54.6% in the medullary PCM (p&lt;0.0001) and the disease specific survival in the extramedullary PCM was 86.2% compared to 70.1% in the medullary PCM (p&lt;0.0001) (figure 1). Multivariate analysis of disease specific survival revealed that younger age, male gender, extramedullary type, and race other than African American or Caucasian were favorable prognostic factors (Table 1). Younger age, extramedullary site, treatment with XRT + surgery, and race other than African Americans were associated with improved overall survival by multivariate analysis (Table 1). To our knowledge, this is the largest published review of survival in PCM. This study identifies several prognostic risk factors influencing survival in PCM. These risk factors can be used to identify patients at high risk for progression to multiple myeloma. Those at highest risk could be considered for future trials comparing adjuvant systemic therapy compared to local therapy alone. Table 1.

Abstract Background: Due to the low incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, there lacks sufficient studies for determining optimal treatment and predicting prognosis. The purpose of this study was to develop prognostic nomograms, to predict overall survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) of oral and oropharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma patients, using the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods: Clinicopathological and follow-up data of patients diagnosed with oral and oropharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma between 2004 and 2017 were collected from the SEER database. The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was employed to identify single prognostic factors. Multivariate Cox regression was utilized to identify independent prognostic factors. C-index, area under the ROC curve (AUC) and calibration curves were used to assess performance of the prognostic nomograms. Results: A total of 1230 patients with oral and oropharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma were enrolled in the present study. After multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, sex, tumor subsite, T stage, N stage, M stage, grade and surgery were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. T stage, N stage, M stage, grade and surgery were identified as independent prognostic factors for disease-specific survival. Nomograms were constructed to predict the overall survival and disease-specific survival based on the independent prognostic factors. The fitted nomograms possessed excellent prediction accuracy, with a C-index of 0.899 for OS prediction and 0.893 for DSS prediction. Internal validation by computing the bootstrap calibration plots, using the validation set, indicated excellent performance by the nomograms. Conclusion: The prognostic nomograms developed, based on individual clinicopathological characteristics, in the present study, accurately predicted the overall survival and disease-specific survival of patients with oral and oropharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Objectives: Over the past decade, some publications have reported that Immunoscore was associated with the prognosis of several cancers. To better understand this issue, we conducted this pooled analysis. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from their inceptions to 15 May 2019 to identify relevant articles. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated for overall survival, disease-free survival, and disease-specific survival. Results: A total of 26 cohort studies with 10,328 patients involving eight cancer specialties were evaluated mainly by the consensus Immunoscore. The pooled analysis indicated that a lower Immunoscore was associated with a poor overall survival (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.58, 2.70), disease-free survival (HR 2.40, 95% CI 1.96, 2.49), and disease-specific survival (HR 2.81, 95% CI 2.10, 3.77) for all cancers. The same convincing results were found in colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer (especially the consensus Immunoscore for colon cancer). In five other types of cancer the results were similar, but the sample sizes were limited. Conclusions: These findings support that Immunoscore is significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with cancer. It provides a reliable estimate of the risk of recurrence in patients with colon cancer. However, more high-quality studies are necessary to assess the prognostic value of Immunoscore in non-colon cancers.

589 Background: Recently, the De-Ritis ratio, defined as the ratio of preoperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to alanine aminotransferase (ALT), was shown to be an independent predictor of overall and recurrence-free survival in a European cohort with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we perform an external validation of the De-Ritis ratio as a prognostic indicator in a distinct cohort of patients with localized and metastatic RCC. Methods: Patients that underwent nephrectomy for localized and metastatic RCC between 2001 and 2014 with available laboratory values within one week of surgery were queried from the Emory Nephrectomy Database. De-Ritis ratio of 1.2 was used to divide subjects into high and low subgroups. Using clinical follow-up data, prognostic value of the De-Ritis ratio was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression models. Results: In a cohort of 451 patients, an elevated De-Ritis ratio (AST/ALT ≥ 1.2) was associated with significantly decreased overall survival (log-rank, p=0.0023) and recurrence-free survival (Log-rank, p=0.0395). On multivariate analysis, De-Ritis ratio was shown to be an independent and significant predictor of overall survival (HR=0.52, p=0.002) and recurrence-free survival (HR=0.47, p=0.014) as seen in Table. Conclusions: Elevated De-Ritis ratio (AST/ALT ≥ 1.2) is an independent and significant predictor of overall and recurrence-free survival and is capable of differentiating high-risk disease in patients with localized and metastatic RCC. These findings are consistent with a previous study investigating the prognostic value of the De-Ritis ratio in a European cohort, and further validates its prognostic ability in a geographically distinct cohort including patients who presented with metastatic disease [Table: see text]

6064 Background: We have recently reported a large series of patients aged ≥ 80 years showing that in this population about half of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are located in the oral cavity. There are no specific data on this cancer location outcome in elderly patients. Therefore, we report here the experience of two French cancer centers in the treatment of oral cavity SCC in patients aged ≥ 80 years. Methods: Two hundred sixty patients aged ≥ 80 years with a primary oral cavity SCC were included in this retrospective analysis. Results: Sex ratio was near to 1. The risk factor distribution was significantly different between men and women: tobacco/alcohol consumption (66.3% vs 15.8%, p < 0.001), history of leukoplakia/lichen planus/oral traumatism (10.8% vs 55.3%, p = 0.002). Two hundred patients received a loco regional (LR) treatment with a curative intent (surgery and/or radiotherapy), 29 with a palliative intent and 31 did not receive a LR treatment. Curative treatments were delivered according to the institution policy in 56 patients (28%).The median disease specific survival (DSS) was 16.9 months. In multivariate analysis, independent prognostic factors were stage (HR = 0.45 [0.29–0.69], p < 0.001), and curative intent of treatment (HR = 0.28 [0.17–0.45], p < 0.001). Median overall survival (OS) was 13.9 months. In multivariate analysis, the independent prognostic factors for OS were age (HR = 0.63 [0.33–0.76], p < 0.001), stage (HR = 0.61 [0.40–0.91], p = 0,016), and curative intent of treatment (HR = 0.41 [0.23–0.71], p < 0.001. In patients treated with a curative intent, the standard treatment was not associated with improved overall survival or disease specific survival as compared with those treated with an adapted treatment. However, prophylactic lymph node treatment in early stage cancer decreased the rate of nodal recurrence from 38% to 6% (p = 0.01). Conclusions: This study emphasizes the need for prospective evaluation of standard and adapted schedules in elderly patients with oral cavity cancer.

394 Background: We analyzed renal cell carcinoma (RCC) brain metastasis (BM) risk factors and compared BM occurrence in advanced RCC treated with or without antiangiogenic agents (AAA). Methods: Data from all consecutive metastatic RCC patients (pts) treated in the Northern France Cancer Center (Centre Oscar Lambret, Lille) between 1995 and 2008 were reviewed. Eligible pts had histologically confirmed advanced RCC without synchronous BM at the time of metastasis diagnosis. Bellini duct and neuroendocrine carcinoma and sarcoma were excluded. AAA were sorafenib, sunitinib, bevacizumab, temsirolimus, and everolimus. Characteristics of the two groups, treated with or without AAA, were compared with a Fisher exact test. Impact of AAA on overall survival (OS) and BM-free survival (BMFS) was explored by Kaplan-Meier method and adjusted to confounders parameters in a Cox model. Results: A total of 199 pts with advanced RCC were identified, 51 treated with AAA and 148 treated without AAA. The median follow-up duration was 40 months. BM occurred in 35 pts. As expected in this retrospective analysis, characteristics between AAA treated and non AAA treated groups were unbalanced for 11 parameters including age, Motzer prognostic factors, performance status and favoring better prognostic factors in the AAA treated group. The median overall survival was 24 months. Overall survival was higher in patients with AAA versus patients without AAA (31 versus 18 months, hazard ratio (HR) 0.67 [0.45–0.97], p=0.038). The AAA were not associated with better BMFS (HR=0.58 [0.26–1.30], p=0.187). The alkaline phosphatase was an independent prognostic factor for BM (p=0.05). In multivariate cox model, AAA treatment improved the OS (adjusted HR 0.60 [0.38–0.94] but not the BMFS (adjusted HR 0.53 [0.22–1.32]. Conclusions: In this retrospective single center study, elevated alkaline phosphatase is a predictive factor for brain metastasis in metastatic RCC. AAA significantly improved overall survival in advanced RCC without any significant impact on brain-metastasis-free survival. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
