e23537 Background: Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare, indolent, low-grade sarcoma known for local recurrences managed primarily by surgery. The role for adjuvant therapy has not been established for either radiation or chemotherapy. We aimed to comprehensively analyze clinical and epidemiological profiles and responses to treatment in these patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database. Cases of FDCS between 2001 to 2022 were identified utilizing the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology edition 3 (ICD-O-3) code 9758/3. Only adults > 18 years of age and diagnosed by positive histology or cytology were included. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic and tumor characteristics. Logistic regression was used to identify the factors influencing survival. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival based on different treatment regimens and stages. Results: A total of 168 patients with FDCS were identified, with more than 50% of the patients ≥ 50 years of age. The mean age at diagnosis was 52.6 years, 56% were female, and 74.4% were white. Most of the patients had localized disease (63.7%), 17.9% had distant disease, and the remaining had unknown stages. About 90% of the patients underwent surgery, with 41% receiving local tumor excision. In Univariate analysis, older age, and distant disease were found to have poor outcomes. Surgery, irrespective of stage, was found to improve overall Survival (Table 1). While chemotherapy and distant disease had poor outcomes in univariate analysis, they were not statistically significant in multivariate analysis. The majority of the patients who received chemotherapy alone without surgical intervention had distant disease, explaining the poor outcome seen in univariate analysis. Among 107 patients with localized disease, 41 patients (41.1%) underwent only surgery and 43 patients (40.1%) received adjuvant therapy (either chemotherapy or radiation vs both) along with surgery. 5-year overall survival was significantly lower in patients who received adjuvant therapy. (88.4% vs 68.4%, p = 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, FDCS has a fair overall 5-year survival with surgery alone. Patients with localized disease, who received adjuvant therapies had poor survival outcomes as compared to the surgery-only group owing to disease burden. Large prospective studies are required to properly evaluate the benefit of adding chemotherapy or radiotherapy in resectable disease.

Abstract Purpose: Aromatase inhibitor (AI)–associated musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) are common and frequently lead to AI discontinuation. SNPs in candidate genes have been associated with AIMSS and AI discontinuation. E1Z11 is a prospective cohort study designed to validate the association between 10 SNPs and AI discontinuation due to AIMSS. Patients and Methods: Postmenopausal women with stage I to III hormone receptor–positive breast cancer received anastrozole 1 mg daily and completed patient-reported outcome measures to assess AIMSS (Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire) at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. We estimated that 40% of participants would develop AIMSS and 25% would discontinue AI treatment within 12 months. Enrollment of 1,000 women with a fixed number per racial stratum provided 80% power to detect an effect size of 1.5 to 4. SNPs were found in ESR1 (rs2234693, rs2347868, and rs9340835), CYP19A1 (rs1062033 and rs4646), TCL1A (rs11849538, rs2369049, rs7158782, and rs7159713), and HTR2A (rs2296972). Results: Of the 970 evaluable women, 43% developed AIMSS and 12% discontinued AI therapy within 12 months. Although more Black and Asian women developed AIMSS than White women (49% vs. 39%, P = 0.017; 50% vs. 39%, P = 0.004, respectively), the AI discontinuation rates were similar across groups. None of the SNPs were significantly associated with AIMSS or AI discontinuation in the overall population or in distinct cohorts. The OR for rs2296972 (HTR2A) approached significance for developing AIMSS. Conclusions: We were unable to prospectively validate candidate SNPs previously associated with AI discontinuation due to AIMSS. Future analyses will explore additional genetic markers, patient-reported outcome predictors of AIMSS, and differences by race.

12003 Background: AIMSS are common and frequently lead to early discontinuation of adjuvant AI therapy. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes have been associated with AIMSS and AI discontinuation. The primary objective of E1Z11 was to validate previously identified associations between 10 specific SNPs in candidate genes and AI discontinuation due to AIMSS in a community-based, racially diverse cohort. Methods: Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive stage I-III breast cancer enrolled onto a prospective multi-site cohort study, the majority through the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). Participants received anastrozole 1 mg oral daily, and completed patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. AIMSS was defined as >20% increase in Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score over baseline occurring within 1 year of AI therapy. We projected 40% would develop AIMSS and 25% would discontinue AI treatment within 1 year, informing a planned enrollment of 1000 women with a fixed number per strata (600 Caucasian, 200 African-American [AA] & 200 Asian) to provide 80% power to detect an effect size of 1.5-4. SNPs include ESR1 (rs2234693, rs2347868, rs9340835), CYP19A1 (rs1062033, rs4646), TCL1A (rs11849538, rs2369049, rs7158782, rs7159713), and HTR2A (rs2296972). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was evaluated within each racial subset. SNP genotypes were coded as additive effects on the log odds ratio by coding as 0, 1 or 2 for the count of the minor allele. A Cochran-Armitage trend test was used with a 1-sided alpha of 0.0025 (Bonferroni correction for 10 tests). Results: We enrolled 999 evaluable women (616 Caucasian, 184 AA, 199 Asian). Genotyping was successful in 974 (98%). AIMSS developed in 43%, and AI therapy was discontinued in 12% within 1 year. While more AA and Asians developed AIMSS compared to Caucasians (48% vs 38%, p=0.017; 50% vs 38%, p=0.004), AI discontinuation rates were similar across racial groups. HWE was satisfied for all SNPs at the 5% alpha level, except for TCL1A/rs11849538 (p=0.002) in the AA cohort. None of the 10 SNPs were significantly associated with AI discontinuation or development of AIMSS in the overall population, or in any of the 3 cohorts. Conclusions: Although AIMSS were more common in AA and Asians, AI discontinuation rates were similar in the 3 cohorts. We were unable to prospectively validate 10 SNPs in 4 genes previously associated with AI discontinuation due to AIMSS. Future analyses will include other predictors of AIMSS, PROs, and additional genetic markers for the entire cohort and by race.
