6046 Background: The eighth edition TNM (TNM-8) classified de novo metastatic (metastatic disease at presentation) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) as M1 without further subdivision. However, survival heterogeneity exists and long-term survival has been observed in a subset of this population. We hypothesize that certain metastatic characteristics could further segregate survival for de novo M1 NPC. Methods: Patients with previously untreated de novo M1 NPC prospectively treated in two academic institutions (The University of Hong Kong [n = 69] and Provincial Clinical College of Fujian Medical University [n = 114] between 2007 and 2016 were recruited and re-staged based on TNM-8 in this study. They were randomized in 2:1 ratio to generate a training cohort (n = 120) and validation cohort (n = 63) respectively. Univariable and multivariable analyses (MVA) were performed for the training cohort to identify the anatomic prognostic factors of overall survival (OS). We then performed recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) which incorporated the anatomic prognostic factors identified in multivariable analyses and derived a new set of RPA stage groups (Anatomic-RPA groups) which predicted OS in the training cohort. The significance of Anatomic-RPA groups in the training cohort was then validated in the validation cohort. UVA and MVA were performed again on the validation cohorts to identify significant OS prognosticators. Results: The training and the validation cohorts had a median follow-up of 27.2 months and 30.2 months, respectively, with the 3-year OS of 51.6% and 51.1%, respectively. Univariable analysis (UVA) and multivariable analysis (MVA) revealed that co-existing liver and bone metastases was the only factor prognostic of OS. Anatomic-RPA groups based on the anatomic prognostic factors identified in UVA and MVA yielded good segregation (M1a: no co-existing liver and bone metastases and M1b: co-existing both liver and bone metastases; median OS 39.5 and 23.7 months respectively; P =.004). RPA for the validation set also confirmed good segregation with co-existing liver and bone metastases (M1a: no co-existing liver and bone metastases and M1b: co-existing liver and bone metastases), with median OS 47.7 and 16.0 months, respectively; P =.008). It was also the only prognostic factor in UVA and MVA in the validation cohort. Conclusions: Our Anatomic-RPA M1 stage groups with anatomical factors provided better subgroup segregation for de novo M1 NPC. The study results provide a robust justification to refine M1 categories in future editions of TNM staging classification.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant disease with significant identified prognostic factors. Therefore our aim was to develop an Assessment Scheme of Prognosis in AML based on prognostic factors. In some counties, such as Romania or other less-highly developed countries, this scheme would be beneficial particularly when cytogenetic testing is unavailable or time-intensive. Methods: We analyzed 119 adult patients with AML during a five year-period from a single-center in Romania. We retrospectively collected and analyzed data with Epi Info and Excel using patient medical records. Results: According to age, the group A1 (<60 years) had a 40 months survival, in contrast with the group B1 (≥60 years) with a survival of 19 months (p=0,0063). The group A2 (secondary AML) survived 15 months, whereas the group B2 (AML de novo) survived 40 months (p=0.0021). Additionally, the group A3 (mild comorbidities) achieved a 40 months survival, the group B3 (moderate comorbidities) survived 19 months, whereas the group C3 (severe comorbidities) survived 7 months (p=0,0059). According to WBC and blast number, the group A4 (high levels) had a 25 months survival, whereas the group B4 (low levels) survived 40 months (p=0,0057). Conclusion: The prognostic factors studied are useful to identify the risk level of AML disease for each patient at diagnosis. We developed an assessment scheme of prognosis with three risk groups according to age, secondary AML, comorbidity, WBC and blasts and cytogenetic examination.

PURPOSE: Oxaliplatin could increase the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU)/folinic acid chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer. We tested three dose levels to identify a feasible oxaliplatin dose for combination therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between February 1998 and April 2000, we included 17 rectal adenocarcinoma patients in a single-center phase I study. Patients had T4 rectal carcinoma, T1-T3 disease with colostomy refusal, or potentially operable T2/T3 M1 requiring local treatment. Pelvic radiotherapy was 45 Gy over 5 weeks, 1.8 Gy/fraction, with concomitant chemotherapy weeks 1 and 5. Chemotherapy was oxaliplatin 80, 100, or 130 mg/m2 2-hour infusion on day 1 followed by l-folinic acid 100 mg/m2/d intravenous bolus, and 5-FU 350 mg/m2/d continuous infusion on days 1 to 5 (FolfoR1). Six patients refusing surgery received additional contact radiotherapy +/− brachytherapy. Dose escalation proceeded if less than two of six patients had dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at a given dose-level. RESULTS: All except two patients completed treatment; patients at level 1 (prolonged grade 1 thrombocytopenia) and level 3 (prolonged cold-related dysesthesia) had no second chemotherapy course. Median follow-up is 14 months (range, 2 to 28 months). One elderly patient at dose level 1 had DLT asthenia, severe diarrhea and vomiting, and more than 10% weight loss. There were no other DLTs and no severe rectitis or gastrointestinal toxicity. There were objective responses at all doses and no progressions. Eight patients underwent radical surgery after chemoradiotherapy. Two had complete pathologic responses. CONCLUSION: FolfoR1 seems feasible and effective. Dose escalation did not increase toxicity. Although the MTD was not reached in this study, we recommend oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 for phase II studies because it is the dose determined from studies in metastatic patients with no toxicity when given concurrently with radiation.

PURPOSE To analyze event-free survival (EFS) and prognostic factors in patients who present with Ewing's tumors (ET) of bone and synchronous pulmonary and/or pleural metastases (ppm). PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 1,270 patients (pts) registered at the continental office of the German/European Intergroup Cooperative Ewing's Sarcoma Studies (CESS81, CESS86, EICESS92), 114 were diagnosed ET with ppm. Patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy and local treatment of the primary tumor. Whole-lung irradiation 15 to 18 Gy was applied to 75 ppm-pts. EFS and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated according to the Kaplan-Meier method, and prognostic factors were analyzed by log-rank tests and Cox and logistic regression procedures. RESULTS On November 1, 1997, at a median time under study of 5.9 years, the 5-year EFS was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.26 to 0.46) and the 10-year EFS was 0.30 (95% CI, 0.19 to 0.41). Thirty-seven of 59 (63%) first relapses involved lung and/or pleura, and the lungs were the only site of relapse in 26 of 59 (44%) ppm-pts. Risk factors identified in univariate and multivariate tests were poor response of the primary tumor toward chemotherapy, metastatic lesions in both lungs, and treatment without additional lung irradiation. CONCLUSION Chemotherapy response of the primary tumor is a prognostic factor in patients with ET with ppm. Strategies of treatment intensification warrant further evaluation.
