632 Background: Prospective data on the risk of breast cancer (BC) recurrence among young BC survivors who have a subsequent pregnancy are limited. We sought to evaluate the long-term impact of pregnancy and live birth on BC outcomes in the Young Women’s Breast Cancer Study (NCT01468246), a prospective multicenter study of women aged ≤40 years at BC diagnosis. Methods: Women with stage 0-III BC without prior hysterectomy were included. The primary endpoint was breast cancer-free interval (BCFI) between patients with and without a (a) pregnancy and (b) live birth after BC. Secondary endpoints were distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI) and overall survival (OS). A time-varying Cox proportional hazards model was performed by estrogen receptor (ER) status, controlling for age at diagnosis, tumor stage, HER2 status, tumor grade, parity at diagnosis, and germline pathogenic variant status. Results: Among 1,016 BC survivors at a median follow-up of 12 (range, 0.5-18.5) years, 198 reported ≥1 pregnancy and 165 reported ≥1 live birth post-diagnosis. Among survivors who reported a post-diagnosis pregnancy, median age at diagnosis was 32 (range, 17-40) years; most had stage I (35%) or II (40%) BC, with 72% hormone receptor (HR)-positive and 25% HER2+; 42% were nulligravid and 60% were nulliparous at diagnosis. Among BC survivors who did not become pregnant post-diagnosis, median age at diagnosis was 37 (range, 21-40) years; most had stage I (35%) or II (43%) BC, with 75% HR-positive and 28% HER2+; 25% were nulligravid and 29% were nulliparous at diagnosis. Among BC survivors with ER-positive tumors (n = 737), pregnancy after BC was not associated with a difference in BCFI (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.60, 95% CI 0.31-1.16, P = 0.130), DRFI (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.35-1.55, P = 0.416), or OS (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.24-1.40, P = 0.227). Similarly, live birth after BC did not impact BCFI (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.45-1.55, P = 0.560), DRFI (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.52-2.06, P = 0.923), or OS (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.34-1.76, P = 0.541). Outcomes among BC survivors with ER-negative tumors (n = 278) were also not affected by post-diagnosis pregnancy (BCFI [HR 1.48, 95% CI 0.70-3.14, P = 0.304], DRFI [HR 1.59, 95% CI 0.68-3.75, P = 0.287], OS [HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.39-2.49, P = 0.975]) or live birth (BCFI [HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.41-2.53, P = 0.974], DRFI [HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.24-2.69, P = 0.722], OS [HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.09-1.69, P = 0.208]). Conclusions: In this multicenter, prospective study with 12 years of median follow-up, pregnancy and live birth after BC did not impact BC events or overall survival, irrespective of ER status. These long-term data from a modern cohort provide reassurance for young BC patients interested in future fertility. Clinical trial information: NCT01468246 .

1518 Background: Despite high interest among young women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) in future fertility, prior research has been hampered by short follow-up and lack of prospective assessment of pregnancy attempts. We sought to describe fertility outcomes among young women participating in a prospective cohort who reported pregnancy attempt post-BC diagnosis. Methods: Women with stage 0-III BC in the Young Women's Breast Cancer Study (YWS, NCT01468246), a multicenter, prospective cohort of women diagnosed at age ≤40 from 2006-2016 who reported attempting pregnancy post-diagnosis were included. Those with prior hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or metastatic disease at diagnosis were excluded. Data on attempting pregnancy and fertility outcomes were obtained from serial surveys. Multivariable logistic regression with stepwise model selection was used to identify factors associated with pregnancy and live birth. Results: Among 1213 eligible participants, 197 reported any attempt of pregnancy (16%) over a median follow-up of 11 years (range: 3-17). Among attempters, median age at diagnosis was 32 years (range: 17-40); 74% were non-Hispanic White; 41% had stage I, 35% stage II, 10% stage III, and 14% stage 0 BC; 76% had HR+ disease; 68% received chemotherapy; 57% received endocrine therapy within one year post-diagnosis; 13% were BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant (PV) carriers; 51% reported financial comfort at baseline; 51% were nulligravida and 72% nulliparous at diagnosis; 28% had undergone fertility preservation consisting of egg/embryo freezing at diagnosis; 15% reported a history of infertility before BC diagnosis. Most (73%) reported ≥1 pregnancy after diagnosis and 65% reported ≥1 live birth. Median time from diagnosis to first pregnancy was 48 months (range: 6-125). In the multivariable model, greater age at diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] 0.82 per year increase, 95% CI 0.74-0.90, P<0.0001) was negatively associated with pregnancy, while financial comfort at baseline (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.01-4.12, P=0.047) was predictive of pregnancy. For live births, greater age at diagnosis was negatively associated (OR 0.82 per year increase, CI 95% 0.76-0.90, P<0.0001) while having undergone fertility preservation at diagnosis was predictive (OR 2.78, 95% CI 1.29-6.00, P=0.009). History of infertility, nulliparity at diagnosis, tumor characteristics, cancer treatment, race, ethnicity, and BRCA1/2 PV status were not associated with either outcome. Conclusions: This is the first prospective study with greater than 10 years of follow-up to report fertility outcomes in young BC survivors accounting for attempting pregnancy. The majority achieved a pregnancy and most reported a live birth. Our findings can be incorporated into the counseling of young BC patients and survivors, and highlight the need for accessibility of fertility preservation services for this population.

Abstract Antimullerian hormone (AMH) is a promising biomarker for ovarian reserve. In this study, we assessed AMH before and 1 year after initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy on National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP)/NRG Oncology B-47 in female participants aged 42 years and younger (median age = 39 years). At baseline, median AMH was 1.2 ng/mL; 13 (4.7%) values were less than 0.1 ng/mL (the threshold for detectable levels, in the perimenopause and menopause range), and 57 values (20.6%) were less than 0.5 ng/mL. At 1 year, 215 (77.6%) were less than 0.1 ng/mL, and 264 (95.3%) were less than 0.5 ng/mL. Postchemotherapy menses were reported by 46.2% of participants. Multivariable logistic regression found that the odds of having postchemotherapy menses increased with younger age, higher body mass index, and higher prechemotherapy AMH, but not by trastuzumab administration or by the choice of chemotherapy (doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel vs docetaxel-cyclophosphamide). We conclude that higher prechemotherapy AMH predicts a lower risk of chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea and that AMH 1 year after chemotherapy initiation is not informative in this setting because it is likely to be very low.

Abstract Background: Chemotherapy-related amenorrhea (CRA) impacts quality of life and reproductive options, and may play a role in treatment decision-making for young breast cancer patients. Although age, increasing doses of alkylating agents, and tamoxifen are known to increase the risk of chemotherapy-related amenorrhea (CRA), it is difficult to predict which women will develop CRA in order to inform fertility preservation and treatment decisions. We sought to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been associated with a younger age at natural menopause and ovarian reserve in non-oncologic populations were predictive of CRA in two large German clinical trials that administered gonadotoxic chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 1322 premenopausal participants under age 50 who enrolled in SUCCESS B (a phase 3 trial of FEC-docetaxel-trastuzumab +/- gemcitabine for high risk early stage breast cancer) or SUCCESS C (a phase 3 trial of FEC-docetaxel-cyclophosphamide vs. docetaxel-cyclophosphamide that also tested the efficacy of a weight loss intervention in early stage breast cancer patients) were eligible for this study. We excluded patients who were receiving ovarian suppression. On these trials, menstrual status was self-reported as amenorrheic or not every three months after chemotherapy. Bloods were stored and patients provided consent for DNA analysis. We genotyped nine candidate SNPs in six genes (rs2002555 and rs11170547 in AMHR2, rs6166 in FSHR, rs10852344 &lt;60kb from TNFRSF17/RUNDC2A/ GSPT1, rs12461110 in NLRP11, rs1801133 in MTHFR, rs2066470 in MTHRF, rs3810682 in BMP15, and rs615942 in COASY), and examined their association with CRA at 12-month and 24-month time points using logistic regression adjusted for age, BMI, and tamoxifen. Results: Of the 554 eligible women with SNP data and menstrual data at 12 months, 70% reported CRA; of the 458 eligible women with SNP data and menstrual data at 24 months, 69% reported CRA. The two SNPs in AMHR2 showed suggestive associations with CRA at 12 and 24 months. [Final results pending]. Conclusions: Genetic variation in AMHR2 may be associated with CRA. Additional research will be needed to validate these findings in other breast cancer survivors and to identify additional SNPs that may be associated with CRA. Together with other clinical factors, genetic variation may improve our ability to predict who will experience CRA, and may inform reproductive and treatment decision-making in cancer patients.
