ABSTRACT Background Alcohol intake is a modifiable risk factor for breast cancer, yet patterns of alcohol intake in women with breast cancer remain underexplored. This study evaluates demographic and clinical predictors of alcohol intake in patients with breast cancer. Methods Patients at Mayo Clinic Rochester diagnosed with breast cancer (Stage 0–3) between July 2014 to March 2022 were surveyed about their average alcohol intake over the 10 years prior to their diagnosis. Alcohol intake was categorized as < 1, 1–4, 5–14, and ≥ 15 drinks per week. Demographic, behavioral, and clinical data were analyzed using univariate Fisher exact tests and multivariate multinomial logistic regression. Results Of 2030 participants (mean age at diagnosis: 59 years; 99.3% female; 95.9% White), 29% consumed < 1 drink/week, 48% reported 1–4 drinks/week, 20% consumed 5–14 drinks/week, and 3% reported ≥ 15 drinks/week. Older age at diagnosis (≥ 60 years), non‐White race, financial difficulty, and never smoking were associated with less alcohol intake. Patients who reported higher levels of mild–moderate intensity exercise reported more alcohol intake. Tumor stage, tumor receptors, and BRCA mutation status were not associated with alcohol intake. PROMIS‐10 physical health scores correlated with alcohol intake in univariate but not multivariate models. Conclusion Alcohol intake is more common prior to a breast cancer diagnosis for patients who are younger, White, financially secure, exercising, and smoking. These findings may inform alcohol intake‐related breast cancer prevention efforts and highlight patient subgroups who could benefit from targeted counseling at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate alcohol intake trends and identify demographic, clinical, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors associated with alcohol consumption in late survivorship among breast cancer survivors. Methods Individuals diagnosed with stage 0–3 breast cancer enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease registry between 2014 to 2022 reported their average weekly alcohol intake at baseline (time of diagnosis) and at approximately four years post-diagnosis. Alcohol intake was divided into four categories and cross-sectional associations with demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors were examined using Monte Carlo-based Fisher exact tests and multivariable multinomial logistic regression. Changes in alcohol consumption from baseline to Year 4 were evaluated using Bowker’s test of symmetry and multinomial models. Results Among 719 participants, alcohol intake 4 years post diagnosis closely resembled baseline patterns, with 30.2% of patients reporting no alcohol use and 48.8% of patients consuming 1–4 drinks per week. Younger age and current smoking status were strongly associated with higher intake at Year 4. Exercise and better physical health were associated with higher alcohol intake in univariable models, however not in adjusted models. From time of diagnosis to Year 4, 15.6% of patients decreased their alcohol intake, 10.2% increased alcohol intake, and 74.3% reported no change. Higher levels of mild intensity exercise were associated with an elevation in alcohol intake over time. Conclusion Alcohol consumption remained stable in late survivorship, in contrast to the initial decline in alcohol use during early survivorship seen in this cohort. Younger age and smoking were key associations with higher alcohol intake.

Background Sexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals comprise nearly 10% of the United States’ population but remain underrepresented in cancer research, particularly in intimate partner violence (IPV) studies. Although IPV rates are comparable or higher in SGD individuals than in non-SGD individuals, the literature on IPV in SGD patients with cancer remains sparse. Methods This qualitative study was conducted within a Mayo Clinic IRB-approved parent database on SGD patients with cancer. Eligible patients were adults who self-identified as non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, had an invasive cancer diagnosis, and reported IPV via a four-question screening tool. A detailed medical review was performed to extract qualitative data related to IPV and other violence. Two investigators employed thematic analyses to understand these qualitative data. Results Among 258 SGD patients whose medical records were screened, 13 (5%) reported IPV. Six key themes emerged: (1) IPV co-occurred with other violence (childhood, workplace, sexual violence); (2) IPV was associated with mental health conditions (depression, PTSD, suicidality); (3) Unhealthy coping mechanisms (substance use, risky behaviors) were common; (4) Social isolation and lack of support exacerbated challenges; (5) Internalized stigma influenced self-perception, relationships, healthcare experiences; (6) Chronic stress from cumulative trauma negatively impacted cancer care. Conclusion IPV was reported by a small proportion of SGD cancer patients, and cause and effect associations been IPV and the above themes have not been demonstrated. These findings suggest a need for trauma-informed, culturally competent interventions to address IPV and its broader psychosocial effects in these underserved populations.

ABSTRACT Objective To compare maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes between women who are English proficient (EP) and those who have limited English proficiency (LEP). Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Single US academic medical centre with interpreter services. Population All pregnant women with deliveries during the study period. Methods We retrospectively identified EP and LEP individuals (categorised by self‐report) who delivered at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA, from 2015 to 2019. Overall composite adverse outcomes, as well as maternal and neonatal composite outcomes, were measured with generalised linear models and logistic regression, reporting estimates and 95% CIs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess associations between language proficiency and outcome measures while controlling for other clinical factors. Main Outcome Measures Composite overall, maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes. Results Among 10 427 EP and 900 LEP participants, the LEP group had a higher incidence of gestational diabetes, unplanned intensive care unit admission, uterine rupture, postpartum haemorrhage with transfusion, neonatal death and 5‐min Apgar score less than 7. The composite overall, maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes were more prevalent in the LEP group than the EP group in unadjusted analysis. Of these, the composite adverse outcome remained significant when the model was adjusted (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.03–1.90). Conclusions Pregnant women with LEP had increased incidence of adverse delivery outcomes, even in a setting with universal availability of medical interpreters.

11114 Background: Advances in early detection and treatment of breast cancer (BC) have significantly improved survival outcomes. In this growing survivor population, addressing modifiable lifestyle factors such as alcohol intake (AI), a known risk factor for BC and BC recurrence, is critical to improving prognosis and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study examines AI patterns and their associations with mental and physical HRQoL in early BC survivorship. Methods: Adult patients newly diagnosed (≤1 year) with stage I–III BC at Mayo Clinic Rochester were invited to enroll in the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease Registry. Of the 3252 patients who consented, 1997 completed surveys approximately one-year post-diagnosis, capturing weekly AI, demographic factors, and PROMIS-10 scores. PROMIS-10 (a 10-item measure of health, well-being, and distress) physical and mental health T-scores (mean = 50, SD = 10) are standardized to the U.S. population. Weekly AI was categorized as minimal/none (<1 drink), mild (1–4 drinks), moderate (5–14 drinks), or high (≥15 drinks). Univariate analyses were performed with Monte Carlo-based Fisher exact tests. Multivariate multinomial logistic regression models using a glogit link function assessed AI as the outcome and PROMIS-10 scores as independent variables, adjusting for financial status, smoking, chemotherapy, and moderate exercise because those were associated with AI at year 1 in prior analyses. Results: Univariate analyses revealed statistically significant associations between AI and PROMIS-10 scores (Table 1). Adjusted multivariate analyses identified that patients with better physical health were more likely to drink 1–4 or 5–14 drinks/week and less likely to abstain (<1 drink/week) than those with poorer physical health (p=0.027). There was no statistically significant association between AI and mental health QoL after adjustment for covariates. Conclusions: Better physical HRQoL during early survivorship was associated with higher AI, suggesting that patients who are feeling physically unwell may be less likely to drink alcohol. Additional public health messaging about the relationship between AI and breast cancer risk and recurrence may be needed, especially for those who are feeling well enough to consume alcohol.

e13036 Background: In January 2023, the FDA approved elacestrant for ESR1-mutated, ER+/HER2- MBC based on a companion diagnostic cell free (cf)DNA test (Guardant Health). In this study, we analyze the trends of liquid biopsy utilization at Mayo Clinic (MC) over a 3 year period to understand the impact of this drug approval on testing patterns and identify emergent alterations in patients (pts) with MBC. Methods: We extracted clinically performed Guardant 360 and Guardant 360 CDx ordered at MC sites in Rochester (MN), Florida (FL), Arizona (AZ), and across 9 additional Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS) sites. Pts with MBC were identified using the EMR and analyzing visit diagnosis codes and staging information. Shifts in testing patterns were analyzed over a 3 year period from January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023. Data was collected on the number of tests, serial testing, frequency of pathogenic mutations, and emergent mutations in ESR1 and PIK3CA. Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical values. Results: Between 2021-2023, 2,741 pts with MBC were seen across all sites. A total of 408 cfDNA tests were performed in 370 unique patients with MBC. Most pts (90%) had 1 test performed. The proportion of pts with MBC tested was 85/1350 (6.3%) in 2021, 77/1495 (5.2%) in 2022, and 208/1558 (13.4%) in 2023. The increased proportion of pts tested in 2023 was statistically significant compared to prior years (p<0.0001), while no difference was observed between 2021 and 2022 (p 0.19). Testing patterns varied by site, with FL ordering the highest number of tests, followed by MN and AZ. Of the 34 providers practicing during the entire period seeing more than 10 MBC pts, the number of providers ordering Guardant testing increased from 15/34 (2021) and 14/34 (2022) to 20/34 (2023), though not statistically significant (p 0.15). Of the 41% with EMR-documented staging available, testing was highest in the ER+/HER2- (81.3%) subtype, followed by TNBC (13.6%) and then HER2+ (5.2%). The most commonly identified mutations identified in the first testing were PIK3CA (41.1%), TP53 (40.5%), ESR1 (30.5%), and ATM (13.2%). D538G (8.0%), Y537N (4.4%), and Y537S (3.5%) were frequent emergent mutations seen in ESR1. Conclusions: We observed an increase in cfDNA testing at the start of 2023 which aligns with the FDA approval of elacestrant. We observed variation by site and individual providers that warrants further exploration to improve cfDNA testing in MBC pts at Mayo Clinic.
