e13531 Background: To examine trends in modifiable behaviorally related cancers among racial groups in the United States. Methods: Data were obtained from the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database for all cancers diagnosed between 2001 and 2017. Alcohol-associated cancers, HPV-associated, obesity-associated, physical inactivity-associated, and tobacco-associated were defined using ICD-O-3 site codes. SEER*Stat 8.3.8 and Joinpoint regression program 4.8.0.1 were used to calculate the trends of associated cancers expressed per 100,000. Results: In women, the incidence of all cancers has decreased significantly or remain unchanged for all racial groups in 2017, with the exception of an increase of HPV related cancers in white women (APC = 0.77%, p < 0.001), obesity related cancers in Hispanic women (APC = 0.46%, p < 0.001), and postmenopausal breast cancer in Black and Asian women (APC 0.78%, 1.06%, p < 0.001). The incidence of alcohol, tobacco, obesity, and physical inactivity associated cancer decreased significantly in men for all racial groups in 2017. HPV related cancers increased annually by 3.13% (p < 0.001) in White men and 0.90% in Asian men (p = 0.022). The highest decrease in modifiable factors associated with cancers was in physical inactivity related cancers in black men from the west (APC = -3.79, p < 0.001). The intersection of black race and U.S. region had the highest decreases in all cancers except obesity-related cancers where the intersection of Asian race and Midwest region had the highest decrease. Conclusions: In women, most modifiable factors associated with cancer are decreasing except in obesity related cancers and physical inactivity/obesity related postmenopausal breast cancer. In men, these rates of cancer are decreasing for all racial groups except HPV related cancers in White and Asian men.

1542 Background: To examine trends in modifiable behaviorally related cancers among men and women in the United States. Methods: Data were obtained from the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database for all cancers diagnosed between 2001 and 2017. Alcohol-associated cancers, HPV-associated, obesity-associated, physical inactivity-associated, and tobacco-associated were defined using ICD-O-3 site codes. SEER*Stat 8.3.8 and Joinpoint regression program 4.8.0.1 were used to calculate the trends of associated cancers expressed per 100,000. Results: In 2017 the incidence of cancers in women associated with alcohol, smoking and obesity were 168/100,000, 134/100,000 and 121/100,000 respectively. Based on analysis of trends of women from 2001 to 2017, alcohol, smoking and physical inactivity related cancers decreased with an annual percent change (APC -0.51%, -0.96%, -0.92% respectively, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant change in obesity, HPV, or post menopausal female breast cancer related cancers (APC: 0.07%, 0.09%, -0.08% respectively, p = 0.303, 0.181, 0.569). Based on age, in women less than 65, rates of obesity related cancers are increasing. Based on racial groups, all rates of cancer associated with modifiable factors are decreasing, however Hispanic women have an increasing rate of obesity related cancers (APC 0.46%, p < 0.001). When examining differences in region, all rates of cancer are decreasing or unchanged except the south has an increasing rate of obesity related cancer (APC 0.28%, p < 0.001). Using a projection model, obesity will become the highest incidence cancer in Hispanic women by 2035, surpassing alcohol and tobacco. In 2017 the incidence of cancers in men associated with tobacco, obesity, and alcohol were 209/100,000, 111/100,000 and 81/100,000 respectively. Based on analysis of trends in men alcohol, smoking, physical inactivity and obesity related cancers decreased (APC -1.42%, -1.59%, -3.15%, -0.41% respectively, p < 0.001). HPV related cancers have increased (APC 2.36%, p < 0.001). In men less than 60 years old, the rates of obesity related cancers are increasing. Using a prediction model, obesity is predicted to surpass tobacco as the most common social cause of cancer in 2020 for men 35-39, 2024 in men 40-44 and in 2030 in men 45-49. Conclusions: In women, most modifiable factors associated with cancer are decreasing except in obesity and HPV related cancers. In men, these rates of cancer are decreasing except HPV related cancers. However, rates of obesity related cancers are on the rise in Hispanic women and younger men. Obesity is set to become the major modifiable factor for many associated cancers.

10560 Background: We proposed to examine trends in modifiable behaviorally related cancers among younger men and women in the United States. Methods: Alcohol-associated cancers, HPV-associated, obesity-associated, physical inactivity-associated, and tobacco-associated were defined using ICD-O-3 site codes. From 2001 and 2017, registry data were obtained from the United States Cancer Statistics database. SEER*Stat 8.3.8 and Joinpoint regression program 4.8.0.1 were used to calculate the trends of associated cancers expressed per 100,000. Results: Of the young women (ages 20-49 years) the incidence of cancers in 2017 associated with alcohol, smoking and obesity were 89/100,000, 43/100,000 and 64/100,000 respectively. Based on analysis of trends of women from 2001 to 2017, obesity, physical inactivity and alcohol related cancers increased with an annual percent change (APC 2.31%, 1.67%, 0.46%, p < 0.001). Using a projection model, in Hispanic women, obesity related cancers will become the highest incidence cancers by 2035, surpassing alcohol and physical inactivity. Of the young men (ages 20-49 years) the incidence of cancers in 2017 associated with alcohol, obesity, and tobacco were 23/100,000, 36/100,000 and 44/100,000 respectively. On trends analysis, obesity, physical inactivity, and alcohol related cancers have increased (APC 2.0%, 1.65%, 0.17%, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.044), whereas tobacco-related cancers are decreasing with an APC of -0.44% (p < 0.001). When examining different regions, the highest APC for obesity and physical inactivity related cancers was 2.43% in the Midwest (p < 0.001). Using a prediction model, obesity is predicted to surpass alcohol and physical inactivity related cancers for men 20-49 years old by 2035. Conclusions: In women, most modifiable factors associated with cancer are increasing except in HPV related cancers. In men, these rates of cancer are increasing except in tobacco related cancers. However, rates of obesity related cancers are on the rise in Hispanic women and younger men in southern U.S. regions. Obesity is projected to become the major modifiable factor for many associated cancers.

PURPOSE The affect of race on breast cancer prognosis is not well understood. We compared crude and adjusted breast cancer survival rates of Chinese women versus White women in the United States. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of Chinese and White women with breast cancer diagnosed between 2004 to 2015 in the SEER 18 registries database. We abstracted information on age at diagnosis, tumor size, grade, lymph node status, receptor status, surgical treatment, receipt of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and death. We compared crude breast cancer–specific mortality between the two ethnic groups. We calculated adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) in a propensity-matched design using the Cox proportional hazards model. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There were 7,553 Chinese women (1.8%) and 414,618 White women (98.2%) with stage I-IV breast cancer in the SEER database. There were small differences in demographics, nodal burden, and clinical stage between Chinese and White women. Ten-year breast cancer–specific survival was 88.8% for Chinese women and 85.6% for White women (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.80; P < .0001). In a propensity-matched analysis among women with stage I–IIIC breast cancer, the HR was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.62 to 0.81; P < .0001). Annual mortality rates in White women exceeded those in Chinese women for the first 9 years after diagnosis. CONCLUSION Chinese women in the United States have superior breast cancer–specific survival compared with White women. The reason for the observed difference is not clear. Differences in demographic and tumor features between Chinese and White women with breast cancer may contribute to the disparity, as may the possibility of intrinsic biologic differences.
