10548 Background: Uncertainty exists with regard to the role of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in altering the risk of breast cancer in BRCA-mutation carriers. Methods: Included were 1645 healthy Jewish Israeli BRCA1/2 -mutation carriers from a single center without prophylactic mastectomy. Carriers with and without risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) were matched according to BRCA-mutation type (BRCA1 vs. BRCA2) and year of birth (±1 year). Hormonal and reproductive variables were compared and incidence of breast cancer recorded. Association between RRBSO and breast cancer was studied. Results: Seventy-seven and 50 matched-pairs had BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation respectively. Fifty-two carriers had breast cancer, 21 in RRBSO-group and 31 in no- RRBSO group, with no statistically significant difference. When analysing each mutation group separately, stratified by age at surgery, no association between RRBSO and breast cancer incidence was found among BRCA1-mutation carriers. However, in BRCA2 mutation carriers, RRBSO was associated with a statistically significant decreased overall incidence of breast cancer, HR = 0.2 (confidence interval 0.44-0.913, p = 0.038). Breast cancer incidence was lower after 5, 10,15 and 20 years in BRCA2-mutation carriers with RRBSO compared to no-RRBSO. Age at menarche, age at surgery, parity and oral contraceptive use were not significant risk factors for breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy was used by 62 mutation carriers, 52 in the RRBSO group and 10 in the no-RRBSO group, and its use did not alter breast cancer risk (p = 0.463). Conclusions: According to our findings, RRBSO is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer only in BRCA2 mutation carriers, regardless of HRT use.

1585 Background: Anthracycline related cardiac toxicity (CT) is a concern in treating women with breast cancer. The prevalence of heart failure (HF) affects 2% of the population, less so in women. Patients receiving anthracycline based therapy (ABT) have a dose-dependent risk of reduction in ejection fraction. Recent work by Dr. Verma suggests that BRCA-deficient mice manifest increased levels of cardiac failure. We sought to explore the risk for CT and evaluate the association between ABT and HF in female BRCA mutation carriers. Methods: An online survey was developed to collect information about breast cancer treatment (including HF) in BRCA mutation carriers through the national BRCA patient advocacy organization FORCE via their 2011 conference and their website as well as the Moffitt-based Inherited Cancer Registry (ICARE). The prevalence of CT and HF was calculated in both BRCA 1 and 2 breast cancer patients and compared to general population risks. Data from those that received ABT was compared to published HF rates from ABT. Results: Our sample included 227 BRCA1 carriers and 164 BRCA2 carriers in whom 6.4% reported cardiac toxicity (i.e., either HF and/or CT). This included similar proportions in BRCA1 vs BRCA2 carriers (i.e., 6.6% and 6.1%, respectively). These proportions are significantly higher than the published rate of 2% (all p-values < 0.001). Specifically regarding ABT, 112 mutation carriers had doxorubicin (Adriamycin) for treatment of whom 8% reported HF, similar to the 11 who had Epirubicin (11 patients), of whom 9% reported HF. Conclusions: Our data suggests that BRCA mutation carriers may have an increased risk of CT compared to the general population. In particular, women with BRCA mutations treated with ABT also appear to have a higher risk of developing CT and/or HF. This exploratory study provides the basis upon which larger retrospective and prospective studies are currently being planned. The high percentage of CT observed in this study requires confirmation as they could inform recommendation for cardiac screening and review of the current standard for ABT use in this population.

Abstract Background: Deleterious BRCA mutations confer a significant lifetime risk of breast cancer (BC) as well as contralateral BC (CBC) in patients who do not undergo prophylactic mastectomy. Prior reports have suggested that tamoxifen reduces the risk of CBC in BRCA mutation carriers. Whether aromatase inhibitors (AI) have the same effect is unknown. Methods: This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with non-metastatic ER+ BC between 2004-2014 with known BRCA mutation status. Patients were followed from primary diagnosis until CBC diagnosis or death. Median follow up was 11.5 years. Risk of CBC was evaluated as time to event. Results: 935 subjects were included in this analysis, with 53 BRCA1 mutation carriers, and 94 BRCA2 mutation carriers. Median age at diagnosis was 42.7 years. Seventy-two percent (676) received tamoxifen and 43% (405) received AI. A total of 66 CBCs occurred, of which 10% (15/147) occurred in BRCA mutation carriers vs %6.5 (51/788) in BRCA wild type. Multivariate analyses indicated that BRCA status and AI use were significantly associated with CBC risk. AI use resulted in a significant reduction in risk of CBC (HR 0.44, p=0.004) regardless of the BRCA mutation status. Tamoxifen use was not associated with reduced risk of CBC. Conclusions: This is the first report showing that AIs reduce the risk of CBC in BRCA mutation carriers. The potential role of AIs as chemoprevention should be validated in larger independent cohorts.

1519 Background: Although risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is a standard management option for women with BRCA1/2 mutations, the lack of large, prospective cohort studies makes estimating the prevalence of cancer at RRSO problematic. Methods: GOG-199 is a large, non-randomized multi-center trial which enrolled women at high-risk (due to BRCA mutations or strong family history) of ovarian cancer, comparing surgery at enrollment with serial transvaginal ultrasound and CA-125 screening. RRSO specimens were processed according to a standardized tissue processing protocol including 2-3mm sectioning of both ovaries and tubes. Results: 2,605 participants were accrued to GOG-199. Of the 1 030 enrolled in the baseline RRSO cohort, 28 were ineligible and 36 declined surgery after enrollment, resulting in 966 baseline RRSO. Pathology review demonstrated 4 tubal intraepithelial carcinoma and 20 serous pelvic cancers, of which 12 were identified only microscopically. Among the 20 serous cancers, the predominant or exclusive site of involvement was ovary in 10, fallopian tube in 5, and peritoneum in 5 cases. In addition, 6 endometrial cancers (among the 515 undergoing concomitant hysterectomy) and 3 adenocarcinomas suggestive of metastasis were identified. The serous pelvic cancer prevalence was: entire cohort=2.1% (20/966), all BRCA mutation carriers=3.2 (18/558), BRCA1 mutation carriers=3.7% (12/325), BRCA2 mutation carriers=2.6% (6/231), and mutation-negative=0.5% (2/402). Compared to those without cancer, women with serous pelvic cancer were older at surgery (p< .001), and more often menopausal (vs pre-menopausal, p= .002), nulliparous (vs parous, p=.04) and never users of tamoxifen (vs ever users, p= .04). Serous pelvic cancers were more frequent in BRCA mutation carriers (vs no mutation, p= .004), and among carriers, more common in those with BRCA1 mutations (vs BRCA2 mutation, p= .02). Conclusions: The prevalence of serous pelvic cancers in this cohort was 3.2% among carriers vs 0.5% among the mutation-negative but with a strong family history. Our data will be useful when counseling women at increased ovarian cancer risk who are contemplating risk-reducing surgery.

e13004 Background: The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of a multidisciplinary model for combined prophylactic and/or therapeutic mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and gynecologic risk-reducing surgery in patients with hereditary breast cancer syndromes. Methods: Between 2012 and 2016, 12 patients with documented BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations underwent combined surgery at our facility. Procedures included bilateral mastectomy, axillary lymph node staging, immediate expander based reconstruction and minimally invasive salpingo-oophorectomy with added hysterectomy when indicated. All procedures were performed in a single operating room setting by rotating subspecialty teams. Results: Patient characteristics included a mean (+SD) BMI of 32.1±6.7 (23-44) kg/m2 and ASA of 2.2±0.4 (2-3). Fifty-eight percent (7/12) were premenopausal. Patient’s average age was 45.8+10.8 (30-73). Therapeutic mastectomy for breast cancer was performed in 4/12 patients. Of the 4 affected patients 2 had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cancer. The remaining 8/12 had prophylactic mastectomies. Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy was performed in 12/12 patients. Seventy-five percent (9/12) underwent concurrent minimally invasive hysterectomy for suspected gynecologic malignancy, leiomyoma, complex endometrial hyperplasia, dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Two gynecologic specimens required mini-laparotomy for removal. Mean total operative time was 283.3±66.5 (206-447) minutes and estimated blood loss (EBL) was 209.2±139.2 (50-500) ml. Hospital length of stay (LOS) was 1.4±0.7 (1-3) days. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in operative time, EBL, or LOS in comparing therapeutic to prophylactic mastectomies. Follow-up revealed no postoperative wound infections. Conclusions: Combined mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and gynecologic risk reducing surgery had no untoward surgical complications with a zero postoperative wound infection rate. Although a small study population, results indicate this approach is a prudent and feasible multidisciplinary model that can be offered to BRCA mutation carriers.

10014 Background: Several large observational studies have demonstrated that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is much more sensitive than M (sensitivity 71–96% vs. 28–43%) for screening women > age 25 at high risk for hereditary breast cancer. However, MRI is much more costly and less specific than M. The extent to which the low sensitivity of M in these studies is due to the greater average breast density of younger women is unknown. Accordingly, we sought to determine the sensitivity of M and MRI according to breast density for the detection of breast cancer in a screening study of BRCA mutation carriers. Methods: Breast density was measured on the screening mammogram of the contralateral breast for all women who developed in-situ or invasive breast cancer on study. Density was measured in 2 ways: qualitatively according to the four categories characterized by the BIRADS system: 1) mostly fatty, 2) scattered fibroglandular tissue, 3) heterogeneously dense, 4) extremely dense; and semi-quantitatively using computer-aided techniques with subsequent classification as: A) ≤10%, B) 11–25%, C) 26%-50%, or D) >50% density. Results: Between 11/97 and 06/05 a total of 39 cases (12 in-situ and 27 invasive) were found in 36 mutation carriers (19 BRCA1 and 17 BRCA2). Mean age of the women with cancer was 48 (range 34 to 64). Average semi-quantitative breast density for BRCA1 mutation carriers was 28% and for BRCA2 was 27%. Sensitivity of M vs. MRI for in-situ cases was 25% vs. 83%, and for invasive cases was 30% vs. 93%. Sensitivities for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers were similar. For BIRADS 1 to 4 respectively M detected 1/3 (33%), 5/11 (45%), 4/22 (18%), and 1/3 (33%) of cases; and for density groups A to D respectively detected 2/6 (33%), 7/15 (47%), 1/11 (9%) and, 1/7 (14%). Conclusion: Although there was a trend towards decreasing mammographic sensitivity with increasing density, even among BRCA mutation carriers with low breast density mammography is an inadequate screening tool. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
