e11544 Background: Identification of simple and measurable prognostic factors is an important issue in treatment evaluation of breast cancer. Although various markers are considered while making a decision to treatment modality, clinicians investigate for new prognostic factors for reason of highly variable responses of individuals. Therefore, this study estimates the survival probability of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for patients with metastatic breast cancer. Methods: We included the patients with metastatic breast carcinoma who were treated for metastasis. NLR were calculated and patients were divided into four quartiles (25th, 50th and 75th NLR; the lowest being the 1st quartile, the highest being 4th quartile ). Survival status was retrieved from our cancer registry. Survival analysis, stratified by NLR quartiles, was used to evaluate the predictive value of NLR. Results: Eighty-one patients with metastatic breast cancer were included in this study. Median age of diagnosis of the patients was 47 (26-83), the majority of them had grade II (%37) and grade III (%29.6) tumors and were metastatic at the time of their initial diagnosis. ER (+), PR (+) and HER2 (+) percentages were confirmed as 82%, 73% and 24% ,respectively. Ten percent of the patients were triple negative. Median follow-up time was 26 months and 29 patients died during the follow up period. We analyzed the overall survival among NLR quartiles. When we compared the quartiles with the highest and lowest NLR values, the quartile with the lowest NLR values had longer median overall survival than the quartile with the highest NLR values (212 vs. 27 months; p=0.01). The second and third quartiles, however, showed no statistically significant difference of overall survival between four quartiles. Conclusions: NLR can be a prognostic factor for overall survival in metastatic breast cancer patients.

Background: Platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is known associated with the prognosis of distant metastatic breast cancer. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) in breast cancer also associated with the prognosis of distant metastatic breast cancer. In this study, we will examine the relationship between PLR and TIL, in association with the metastatic incidence in breast cancer.Methods: This research is a retrospective, analytic, cross-sectional study. Data was taken from medical records of breast cancer patients at Sanglah general hospital. Samples were taken by nested sampling by selecting all breast cancer patients from the period of January 1st, 2017, to December 31st, 2018, which had complete medical record data, with total sample 211. The PLR and TIL were calculated and analyzed in relation to metastasis incidence of breast cancer.Results: The sample characteristics were sorted by age, education, occupation, the area of origin, menstrual status, breast cancer staging, breast cancer subtype, TIL levels, lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status, metastatic status, and breast cancer grading. The data were analyzed to know the association of PLR, TIL, confounding factors in relation to metastatic incidences. In the sample group with PLR ≥ 156 10µ /µL, there were 22.9% cases of metastases (p = 0.002). The sample group at low TIL had metastatic event 12.5% with (p=0.442).Conclusions: PLR was associated with higher metastasis in breast cancer patients and low TIL had no association with breast cancer metastasis.

BackgroundMetastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a highly heterogeneous disease and bone is one of the most common metastatic sites. This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical features, prognostic factors and benefits of surgery of breast cancer patients with initial bone metastases.MethodsFrom 2010 to 2015, 6,860 breast cancer patients diagnosed with initial bone metastasis were analyzed from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and Multivariable analysis were used to identify prognostic factors. A nomogram was performed based on the factors selected from cox regression result. Survival curves were plotted according to different subtypes, metastatic burdens and risk groups differentiated by nomogram.ResultsHormone receptor (HR) positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive patients showed the best outcome compared to other subtypes. Patients of younger age (<60 years old), white race, lower grade, lower T stage (<=T2), not combining visceral metastasis tended to have better outcome. About 37% (2,249) patients received surgery of primary tumor. Patients of all subtypes could benefit from surgery. Patients of bone-only metastases (BOM), bone and liver metastases, bone and lung metastases also showed superior survival time if surgery was performed. However, patients of bone and brain metastasis could not benefit from surgery (p = 0.05). The C-index of nomogram was 0.66. Cutoff values of nomogram point were identified as 87 and 157 points, which divided all patients into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups. Patients of all groups showed better overall survival when receiving surgery.ConclusionOur study has provided population-based prognostic analysis in patients with initial bone metastatic breast cancer and constructed a predicting nomogram with good accuracy. The finding of potential benefit of surgery to overall survival will cast some lights on the treatment tactics of this group of patients.

174 Background: It is generally accepted that patients with breast cancer metastases have poor survival. Metastatic breast cancer patients can be considered a heterogeneous population with a varied clinical course, which underscores the need for accurate prediction of survival based on prognostic factors. The purpose of the present study was to identify factors related to survival in breast cancer patients after diagnosis with metastatic disease. Methods: A total of 557 patients with breast cancer metastasis diagnosis seen at one large urban practice have been followed up between January 1, 1999 and June 30, 2008. Demographic, tumor characteristics, clinical factors as predictors of survival were analyzed using Cox regression model. Results: The median survival length was 40 months (range 1-114 months) with 269 (48.3%) alive and 288 (51.7%) dead. This study demonstrated that hypertension, estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) status, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status, number of metastatic sites, and body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis with metastatic breast cancer were the most relevant prognostic factors for survival after metastasis. Conclusions: Findings of this study may form a foundation for the corpus of knowledge explaining the outcome differences in treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer, potentially helping to create tailored counseling and personalized treatment approaches for this vulnerable group.
