230 Background: Elevated suicide risk is established in cancer patients compared with the general population. We aim to investigate the risk of SRD among individuals diagnosed with mGU cancers. Methods: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2020) was queried to obtain data on suicide death in adults (>20 years of age) diagnosed with mGU cancers including bladder cancer (BC), kidney cancer (KC), and prostate cancer (PC). Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed overall and by latency period of <1, 1-5, and >5 years (y) after the initial diagnosis of mGU cancers. SMR >1 indicated increased while <1 indicated decreased SRD. Stratification was done by age (<50y, 50-70y, >70y), race (White, Black, Asian, Native American), ethnicity (Hispanic, non-Hispanic), chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and marital. Results: This analysis included 87,357 mGU patients. In overall population, the risk of suicide-related deaths was highest <1y after diagnosis (SMR: 3.29, 95% CI: 2.47-4.29) followed by 1-5y (2.61, 2.0-3.35) and >5y (1.27, 0.61-2.34) after diagnosis. With respect to race, SRD was significantly higher in Whites (3.31, 2.46-4.36) but not in Blacks (2.58, 0.31-9.33), and Asians (2.03 (0.05-11.3). In ethnic subgroups, non-Hispanics were observed to have increased SRD (3.71, 2.77-4.86) but not Hispanics (0.83, 0.1-3.0). Patients who received chemotherapy (3.74, 2.10-6.18) or those who did not receive radiotherapy (3.66, 2.68-4.89) were more likely to die from suicide. In terms of marital status, single patients had a higher SRD (4.39, 2.94-6.30) compared to those who were married (2.54, 1.65-3.76). Detailed results are outlined in the Table. Conclusions: Patients with GU malignancies are at increased risk of SRD. Targeted and timely interventions in highest risk subgroups such as Non-Hispanic patients with a recent cancer diagnosis with no partner support, may reduce the risk of SRD in patients diagnosed with mGU cancers.

229 Background: We aim to investigate non-cancer cause of death in adults within 2 years after initial diagnosis of mGU cancers including bladder cancer (BC), kidney cancer (KC), and prostate cancer (PC). Methods: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2020) was searched to obtain data on death caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVD), kidney diseases (KD), respiratory diseases (RD), liver diseases (LD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and sepsis in adults (>20y of age) diagnosed with mGU cancers. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated within 2y of initial diagnosis. SMR was defined as the observed deaths from each category divided by the expected number of deaths in the age-matched US population for the same period. SMR >1 indicated increased while <1 indicated decreased mortality. Stratification factors included age (<50y, 50-70y, >70y), race (White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander), ethnicity (Hispanic, non-Hispanic), chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Results: This study including 77,246 mGU cancer patients showed that the greatest risk of early death was observed to be caused by sepsis (SMR: 4.21, 95% CI: 3.64-4.84) followed by CVD (1.70, 1.62-1.80), KD (1.58, 1.31-1.90), LD (1.58, 1.16-2.09), DM (1.56, 1.32-1.82), and RD (1.38, 1.22-1.56). Patients aged <50y observed the highest risk of mortality caused by sepsis (61.76, 30.83-110.5) followed by KD (28.06, 9.11-65.48) and CVD (5.63, 3.60- 8.84). However, patients aged 50-70y were more likely to die by RD (2.47, 1.94-3.09) and LD (2.01, 1.38-2.82). The results were consistent for Black patients; sepsis (6.59, 5.04-8.46) followed by RD (2.01, 1.41-2.78) and KD (1.64, 1.04-2.46). Asian/Pacific Islanders were more likely to die from CVD (2.52, 2.13- 3.00) and DM (2.21, 1.21-3.71). Hispanics were more likely to die from LD (3.11, 1.66-5.32) and non-Hispanics from sepsis (4.28, 3.68-4.96). This risk of death due to sepsis was increased with chemotherapy (7.06, 5.22-9.33) and radiotherapy (4.92, 3.58-6.61). Detailed results are available in Table. Conclusions: Sepsis remained the leading cause of early non-cancer-deaths in mGU cancers consistently across all subgroups. Younger adults were more likely to die from CVD and KD, Black patients from RD, and Hispanics from LD. [Table: see text]

111 Background: Comparative evidence of quality of life (QoL) outcomes regarding life-prolonging treatments for the management of first-line treatment of metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) is not known. Methods: This systematic review uses the living interactive evidence synthesis framework (PMID: 36862387). Phase III randomized controlled trials assessing contemporary systemic treatments in mCSPC were included. Small sample size adjusted standardized mean differences (SMD; Hedges’ g) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed for global QoL at 3, 6, 12, and 24 mo. Positive SMD indicated better health-related QoL, with zero indicating a null effect. Mixed treatment comparisons were made using a network meta-analysis. P-scores were computed; a higher score indicated better QoL. Results: Of 10 clinical trials initially included, eight trials (15 references) reported QoL. At 3mo global QoL was improved with abiraterone (AAP)+ADT compared to D+ADT (SMD: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.13-0.39), enzalutamide (E)+ADT (0.18; 0.03-0.33), and ADT (0.14; 0.02-0.27). At 6mo, AAP+ADT significantly improved global QoL compared to D+ADT (0.74; 0.62-0.87), E+ADT (1.74; 1.56-1.92), and ADT (1.79; 1.65-1.93). D+ADT also improved global QoL at 6mo compared to ADT (1.05; 0.93-1.16) but not when compared to E+ADT. At 12mo, AAP+ADT improved global QoL compared to E+ADT (0.20; 0.05-0.34) and ADT (0.19; 0.07-0.31) but not compared to D+ADT (0.05; -0.07-0.17). D+ADT also improved global QoL at 12mo compared to ADT (0.14; 0.03-0.24) (Table). Global QoL has not been reported for ARASENS trial at this time. These results are available on the Living interactive website. Conclusions: The totality of evidence suggests improved global QoL with androgen-pathway inhibitors (API) doublet therapy. D+ADT may offer better QoL at longer 6 and 12 months of follow-up. QoL data for triplet therapy is still emerging and will be incorporated in the living review as soon as it becomes available.

Abstract Background: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends the use of tissue-based genetic tests, such as Decipher, Prolaris, and Confirm mdx for localized prostate cancer, to help patients and caregivers make more informed treatment decisions at the time of diagnosis. However, while much enthusiasm currently exists for the burgeoning field of genomic medicine, prostate cancer disparities continue to persist in underserved communities despite the existence of evidence-based treatment guidelines. Methods: A diverse 15-member Community Advisory Board (CAB) representing rural and urban communities in Duval County, Florida were recruited from May to June 2023, to build a community-academic partnership, for the development and implementation of a genetic literacy patient-caregiver educational intervention for localized prostate cancer. The 15-member CAB was divided into groups of 5 for focus group discussions. Qualitative and quantitative data from CAB members were integrated to gain better understanding of the facilitators and barriers for prostate cancer genetic literacy in underserved communities. Results: The thematic analysis reveals several key themes related to prostate cancer, screening, treatment, and genetics. These themes reflect the diverse perspectives and experiences of the CAB members regarding prostate cancer, ranging from personal anecdotes to broader societal issues. Participants expressed thoughts related to fear, lack of knowledge, cultural beliefs, and access to healthcare. The discussion on prostate cancer and tissue based genetic testing highlighted the complexities surrounding prostate cancer and the need for further education, awareness, and access to affordable healthcare for all individuals at risk. Conclusion: CAB members emphasized the importance of improving access to information, promoting education, and addressing cultural barriers to ensure that individuals are informed about available options for prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
