Context: Elbow medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries have become increasingly common in athletes. Despite this, rehabilitation protocols appear to vary drastically, which may explain the clinical equipoise regarding optimal management. Objective: This systematic review reports rehabilitation characteristics reported after UCL injuries and compares reported outcomes based on early versus delayed rehabilitation. Data Sources: Our search utilized PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane to identify all articles on UCL rehabilitation published between January 1, 2002 and October 1, 2022. Study Selection: Studies in English with ≥5 patients that reported rehabilitation protocols for UCL injuries were evaluated. Study Design: Systematic review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Data Extraction: Data included sample characteristics, time to achieve physical therapy milestones, outcome scores, and return-to-play (RTP) rate and timing. Results: Our review included 105 articles with a total of 15,928 elbows (98% male; weighted mean age, 23 years; follow-up, 47 months), with 15,077 treated operatively and 851 treated nonoperatively. The weighted mean time patients spent adhering to nonweightbearing status was 42 days. The mean time until patients were given clearance for active range of motion (ROM) 15 days, full ROM 40 days, and elbow strengthening exercises 32 days. The mean time until all restrictions were lifted was 309 days. The mean time to begin a throwing program was 120 days. Across all rehabilitation characteristics, protocols for patients undergoing nonoperative management started patients on rehabilitation earlier. After UCL reconstruction, earlier active ROM (≤14 days), elbow strengthening (≤30 days), no restrictions (≤180 days), and throwing (≤120 days) postoperatively led to earlier RTP without a negative effect on functional outcome scores. Conclusion: Current literature provides a spectrum of protocols for elbow UCL rehabilitation, regardless of management. Nonoperative patients began ROM activities, strengthening, and throwing programs sooner than operative patients, and earlier milestones led to earlier RTP.

Abstract Background Rural family caregivers (FCGs) in the United States often experience high economic costs. This randomized controlled trial compared a transitional palliative care intervention (TPC) to support FCGs of seriously ill care recipients (CRs) to an attention control condition. We evaluated the TPC's effect on healthcare use and out‐of‐pocket spending for both FCGs and CRs. Methods TPC FCGs received teaching, guidance, and counseling via video calls for 8 weeks following CR discharge from the hospital. After discharge, a research assistant called all FCGs once a month for up to 6 months or CR death to collect self‐reported healthcare utilization (e.g., outpatient, emergency department, and hospital), out‐of‐pocket healthcare spending (e.g., deductibles and coinsurance), and health‐related travel costs (e.g., transportation, lodging, food) for FCGs and CRs. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated using negative binomial regressions. Results The study included 282 FCG–CR dyads across three U.S. states. Follow‐up over the 6‐month period was shortened by high CR mortality rates across both arms (29%), but was similar across arms. TPC reduced nights in the hospital for CR (IRR = 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.56–0. 99). Total out‐of‐pocket spending was not significantly different for TPC versus control. Across both groups, mean out‐of‐pocket spending for dyads was $1401.85, with healthcare payments contributing $1048.58 and transportation expenses contributing $136.79. TPC dyads reported lower lodging costs (IRR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.56–0.89). Conclusions This study contributes to evidence that palliative care interventions reduce the number of nights in the hospital for seriously ill patients. Yet, overall rural FCGs and seriously ill CRs experience substantial out‐of‐pocket economic costs in the 6 months following hospitalization. Transitional care intervention design should consider impacts on patient and caregiver spending. Clinicaltrials.gov # is NCT03339271.

Abstract Background: Multiple studies have confirmed the central role of preexisting immune response measured by stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Emerging studies showed that not only the number of TILs but also the location of TILs is important. There are 3 distinct immune architectures described based on the amount and locations of TILs, namely immune enriched (IN), immune excluded (IE), and immune desert (ID). Here we evaluated outcomes and characteristics associated with each immune landscape. Methods: NanoString Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) and CosMx, a spatial multi-omics single-cell imaging platform, were performed in 75 samples from the Mayo Clinic (MC) TNBC cohort (Leon-Ferre BCRT 2018). NanoString IO360 was performed in 114 samples from the FinXX trial ( NCT00114816) . Firstly, tumors with sTIL quantified by H&E ≤ 30% were classified as ID. The rest of the tumors with high sTIL > 30% were categorized according to the intratumoral CD8 protein expression by DSP, with IE having intratumoral CD8 in the lower median and IN having intratumoral CD8 in the upper median. Chi-square test, gene set enrichment, Cox regression, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used. Differential expression listed as log 2-fold change (FC) was estimated from the linear mixed model with significance defined as two-sided p< 0.05. Results: ID is associated with low Ki67 < 5% (23.3% vs. 9.6% ID, p 0.02) as well as apocrine (11/13, 84.6%) and metaplastic histology (10/12, 83%). In both univariate and multivariate analysis, patients with IN had significantly improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to those with ID (HR 0.37, 95%CI 0.18-0.74, p 0.005). Despite having high sTILs, IE had poor outcomes similar to ID (HR 0.84, 95%CI 0.36-1.98). Strikingly, we identified that IE patients had significantly lower plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) compared to IN (mean 0 vs. 0.26/100 tumor cells, 95%CI 0.08-0.43 , p 0.01). Using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis to evaluate differential hallmarks between IN and IE, we identified IF Nɑ and IFNγ (FDR < 0.001) responses as significantly enriched in IN group, consistent wi th the function of pDCs, which are a subset of dendritic cells specialized in secreting high levels of type I interferon. To validate this finding, we further evaluated the 11 leading edge gene IFNɑ signature in the FinXX trial. A high IFNɑ signature score was associated with significantly improved outcomes in the FinXX trial (HR 0.21, 95%CI 0.09-0.51 , p < 0.001). Similar findings were observed using Kaplan-Meier analysis in the FinXX trial with significantly improved RFS (p 0.0006) and overall survival (p 0.0001) in patients with high IFNɑ signature scores. Furthermore, we evaluated the differential gene expression unique to IN tumors in the Mayo cohort. Expressions of MHC class I and class II in tumor cells, including HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPA1, and HLA-E, were associated with IN and significantly improved outcomes (p < 0.05) compared to ID and IE. Conclusions: Highlighting the importance of spatial context, we identified that patients with IE tumors had poor outcomes despite having high TILs. Moreover, u sing an in-depth analysis with spatially defined context, we identified the central role of pDC and the significance of IF Nɑ in TNBC.

Abstract Introduction: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a known adverse event associated with Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), causing fibrosis of the lung. In the DESTINY-Breast 04, TROPICS-02, and ASCENT trials the rate of ILD/Pneumonitis was 12.1%, 0.4%, and 0% respectively. In these studies, the time to first cross-sectional imaging after initiation of ADC was 6 weeks. However, prior treatment with a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor ADC was not permitted in these studies, so the influence of sequential ADC treatments remains unknown. Here, we aimed to characterize the frequency and management of ILD in sequential use of ADCs in a multi-institution retrospective analysis. Methods: We identified patients (pts) with HR+/HER2-low and HR-/HER2-low MBC who had received both Trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd) and Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) monotherapy (in either order, with or without intervening therapies) who were treated at five academic centers between 2020-2023. Patients had received treatment with the ADC in either routine clinical treatment or as a prior participant on a clinical trial with ADC monotherapy. Information regarding ILD diagnosis, imaging, timing of onset, peak and resolution along with management information was collected and analyzed. Retrospective assessment of ILD toxicity was graded using CTCAE v5.0, based on available clinical and radiographic reports. Results: 10/60 pts who received ADC therapy in this multi-institutional cohort were diagnosed with ILD (all grades). No differences in age or BMI were observed in those who developed ILD versus those who did not, and 9/10 pts were White, 1 was Asian, with a median age of 59 years (47-79 years). Pertinent history in these pts included 3/10 had a prior smoking history, 8/10 had a prior cardiac or pulmonary comorbidity (including sleep apnea, lung cancer, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, or stroke). Prior to receiving their first ADC, 7/10 patients had metastatic disease to the lung. All 10 patients were diagnosed with ILD during treatment with T-DXd. 4 pts initially received T-DXd, then developed ILD and then upon recovery, subsequently received SG. The remaining 6 pts initially received SG (with no reports of ILD), and then received T-DXd and subsequently developed ILD. In the entire cohort, the median time from ADC initiation to first CT scan was 8 weeks (range 1-22 weeks). Within the cohort that developed ILD, the median time from initiation of T-DXd to first CT scan was also 8 weeks (range 6-13 weeks). The median time to diagnoses of ILD was 3 months after initiation of T-DXd (range 0.4-14.5 months). Dyspnea was the most common presenting symptom in 9/10 pts and at diagnosis of ILD, dyspnea was graded as III in 6/10 pts, II in 3/10 pts, and I in 1/10 pts. Diagnostic evaluation included CT chest (9/10), pulmonary consultation (8/10), pulmonary function testing (2/10), and bronchoscopy (1/10). 4/10 patients presented at their highest-grade toxicity at diagnosis. All patients stopped T-DXd treatment, 7 were hospitalized, 7 required supplemental oxygen, and 8 were prescribed steroids for treatment. Of those receiving steroids, the most common starting dose was prednisone 1 mg/kg and doses ranged from 0.5 mg/kg to 9mg/kg prednisone equivalents. No patient received a secondary immunosuppressive agent. The steroid treatment duration ranged from 1-4 months. None of the 10 pts underwent re-challenge with T-DXd and 3/10 developed grade V ILD (death). Conclusion: We observed a 16.6% incidence of all grade ILD (5% grade V ILD) with T-DXd and 0% with SG. In this small cohort study, we did not observe a clear increased risk for ILD with sequential treatment of ADCs. Practice patterns were consistent with recommended diagnostic evaluation and steroid management. Additional strategies are needed to characterize pts most at risk for developing ILD and to identify situations where re-challenge may be safe.

Abstract Introduction. T-DXd is FDA-approved for patients (pts) with hormone receptor positive (HR+) or HR- HER2-low (IHC 1+ or 2+, ISH-) MBC and SG is FDA-approved for pts with HR+/HER2- and triple negative MBC. However, several outstanding questions impact the use of these drugs in clinic, including: 1) what is the efficacy and safety of these agents in real-world populations with diverse pt characteristics not well represented in the pivotal phase III trials, and 2) what is the impact of sequential treatment with ADCs on the efficacy and safety of these agents. Methods. In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we identified pts with HR+/HER2-low and HR-/HER2-low MBC who had received both T-DXd and SG monotherapy (in either order, with or without intervening therapies) treated at 5 academic centers between 2020-2023. Pts received treatment per standard of care or on a clinical trial with ADC monotherapy. We describe pt demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment history, key safety parameters, and response and survival data by HR+ status and ADC sequence order. Results. Sixty pts with MBC treated sequentially with T-DXd and SG were included in this analysis, including 45 pts with HR+/HER2-low MBC (75.0%) and 15 pts with HR-/HER2-low MBC (25.0%). Most pts were female (n=59; 98.3%), non-Hispanic (n=49, 81.7%), and white (n=43, 71.7%). Median age at start of ADC #1 was 56.6 years (range 23-82). Prior to treatment with ADC #1, most pts had visceral disease (n=45, 75.0%) and 16 (26.7%) had central nervous system metastases. Among pts with HR+/HER2-low MBC, median time from MBC diagnosis to treatment with ADC #1 was 49.0 months, with 4 median lines of prior therapy in the metastatic setting (2 endocrine, 2 chemo). Approximately half of the HR+ pts received T-DXd prior to SG (n=22, 48.9%; median 3.0 prior lines of therapy for MBC, range 1-9) while the other half received SG prior to T-DXd (n=23, 51.1%; median 4.5 prior lines of therapy for MBC, range 1-10). 44% (n=20) received an intervening therapy between ADCs. For HR+ pts who received T-DXd prior to SG, response and survival data is as follows for T-DXd and SG respectively: Overall response rate (ORR) [54.5% and 21.1%], time to next treatment (TTNT) [4.3 mo and 1.6 mo], and real-world overall survival (rwOS) [19.8 mo and 4.9 mo]. For HR+ pts who received SG prior to T-DXd, response and survival data is as follows for SG and T-DXd respectively: ORR [78.3% and 42.9%], TTNT [8.6 mo and 2.8 mo], and rwOS [22.3 mo and 7.3 mo]. Among pts with HR-/HER2-low MBC, median time from MBC diagnosis to treatment with ADC #1 was 8.2 months with 2 median lines of prior therapy in the metastatic setting (2 chemotherapy); 66.7% (n=10) received prior immunotherapy. Most HR- pts received SG prior to T-DXD (n=14, 93.3%) and 40.0% (n=6) received an intervening therapy between ADCs. For HR- pts who received SG prior to T-DXd, response and survival data is as follows for SG and T-DXd respectively: ORR [64.3% and 38.5%], TTNT [6.2 mo and 2.7 mo, and rwOS [15.7 mo and 6.5 mo]. In terms of key safety parameters during treatment with T-DXd, 13.3% of pts (8/60) required a dose reduction. 16.7% (10/60) were diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis of any grade including 3 pts with grade 3-4 ILD (5.0%) and 3 pts with grade 5 ILD (5.0%). During treatment with SG, 40.0% of pts (24/60) required a dose reduction. 83.3% (50/60) received growth factor support (24 pts primary prophylaxis; 26 pts secondary prophylaxis); 9 pts (15%) required treatment delay due to neutropenia. Conclusion. This study represents the largest multicenter series to date of pts treated with sequential ADCs for HR+/HER2-low or HR-/HER2-low. ORR was higher and TTNT was longer for ADC #1 than ADC #2 in all subgroups, regardless of HR+ status and ADC sequence order. An additional ~30 pts will be reported at time of final analysis. Future prospective studies are planned to further clarify the efficacy and safety of sequential ADC use and to identify biomarkers of response and resistance.

Abstract Background. Approximately 12,000 women aged 40 years or younger are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the United States alone. Limited data exist regarding survival in young women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), particularly when considering modern tumor subtyping and treatment, though previous studies have suggested that patients presenting with MBC at diagnosis (de novo stage IV) have better prognosis than those who develop recurrent MBC after initial diagnosis of stage 0-III disease. We sought to determine survival rates in young patients with MBC stratified by disease presentation (de novo versus recurrent) and subtype. Methods. The Young Women’s Breast Cancer Study (YWS) is a multicenter, prospective cohort which enrolled 1,302 women diagnosed with stage 0-IV breast cancer at age ≤40 from 13 North American academic and community-based sites from 2006-2016. The current median follow-up is 10.1 (range 0.4-16.3) years. Histopathology slides were centrally reviewed for 97% of the participants, and clinical tumor molecular subtypes have been detailed. In the recurrent group, receptors were obtained from the initial breast surgery. Descriptive analyses were used to characterize patients with de novo or recurrent MBC, including demographic and disease characteristics, and survival rates. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test between those who presented with de novo and relapsed disease overall and within tumor subtypes. Results. Among 246 patients included in this analysis, 74.0% (n=182) had recurrent MBC and 26.0% (n=64) had de novo MBC. Most patients were white (n=208, 84.6%), while 6.9% were Asian (n=17), 4.5% Black (n=11), 0.8% Native American (n=2), 0.8% multiracial (n=2) and 2.4% other/unknown (n=6). A total of 4.5% of patients were Hispanic (n=11). Median age at diagnosis of de novo MBC was 37 years and 40 years for diagnosis of metastasis in the recurrent group. Median disease-free interval was 3.23 (range 0.32 – 13.84) years for the recurrent MBC group. Among all patients with MBC, most (55.7%, n=137) had estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative disease, whereas 17.9% (n=44) had ER and/or PR-positive HER2-positive, 7.3% (n=18) had ER/PR-negative HER2-positive, and 18.7% (n=46) had triple-negative tumors. A greater proportion of participants (43.8%, n=28) had HER2-positive disease in the de novo group than in the recurrent group (18.7%, n=34), P=< 0.0001. A total of 10.9% (n=7) of de novo patients had a germline BRCA mutation, compared to 13.7% (n=25) in the recurrent group. Median survival was 5.09 (95% CI: 3.74 – 6.38) years in the de novo group and 2.63 (95% CI: 1.98 – 3.21) years in the recurrent MBC group (P=0.0004). When stratifying by subtype, survival among patients with de novo ER and/or PR-positive HER2-positive disease was longer than among patients with recurrent disease (P=0.0149), whereas there were no statistically significant differences in survival between the de novo and recurrent disease groups in other disease subtypes (Table 1). Conclusion. Survival in young women with MBC is highly heterogeneous and varies substantially by tumor subtype and disease presentation. Those with de novo ER and/or PR-positive HER2-positive subtype appear to have better outcomes than those with recurrent MBC with the same subtype. These findings can inform patient care and potential future research to improve outcomes for young patients with MBC.

Abstract Background: Patients with HER2+ early breast cancer (EBC) and invasive residual disease (RD) after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) have a higher risk of relapse than patients who have a pathologic complete response (pCR). Escalation of therapy in patients with RD using post-neoadjuvant T-DM1 has become the new standard of care, leading to improved invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), but patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-negative or nodal RD have suboptimal outcomes, and central nervous system recurrences are a challenge. More effective treatment strategies are urgently needed. Alliance A011801 (CompassHER2 RD) is an escalation trial for patients with high-risk HER2+ RD after neoadjuvant systemic therapy, evaluating the addition of the HER2 selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) tucatinib to post-neoadjuvant T-DM1. Methods: Eligibility and Intervention: Patients with high-risk HER2+ RD (i.e., ER-, node-positive, or both) after a predefined course of neoadjuvant HER2-directed treatment are randomized 1:1 to adjuvant T-DM1 + placebo, vs. T-DM1 and tucatinib with adjuvant RT +/- ET. Eligibility criteria include completion of ≥ 6 cycles of NAT, including ≥ 9 weeks of paclitaxel and trastuzumab +/- pertuzumab. All chemotherapy (CT) must be completed preoperatively unless participating in EA1181 (~15-30% will be participants in the CompassHER2 pCR de-escalation companion trial [NCT04266249]; these patients must receive postoperative CT to complete ≥ 6 cycles prior to enrollment on A011801). Patients who received prior HER2-targeted TKIs or antibody-drug conjugates are ineligible. Objectives: The primary objective is to determine if iDFS is improved with addition of tucatinib to T-DM1 in patients with HER2+ EBC with RD after neoadjuvant systemic therapy; secondary endpoints include overall survival, breast cancer free survival, distant recurrence-free survival, brain metastases-free survival and disease-free survival. Correlative objectives include the association of i) tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TILs) levels in the primary tumor and RD with iDFS, ii) TILs with tucatinib benefit, iii) iDFS and circulating tumor cells (CTC) at serial timepoints and iv) the magnitude of benefit of tucatinib (iDFS) in patients with/without detectable pretreatment CTCs. Quality of life and pharmacokinetic endpoints are also being evaluated. Statistics: A011801 is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, phase III superiority trial; stratified by i) receipt of postoperative CT (Y/N), ii) hormone receptor-status (+/-), and iii) pathologic lymph node status (+/-). The study targets an absolute difference of 5% in iDFS (control vs. experimental arm 82% & 87%, HR = 0.7), with a two-sided alpha of 0.05 and power of 80%. The sample size is 981; target accrual = 1031 patients; activation and estimated completion dates are 01/6/21 and ~ 01/2028. Accrual as of 7/10/2023: 438 patients.

Abstract Background. Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death in young women worldwide, and late recurrence of hormone receptor-positive disease plays a substantial role. Adjuvant endocrine therapy with 5 years of ovarian function suppression (OFS) and an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen is recommended for many young patients with high risk hormone receptor-positive BC. Data are limited regarding extended endocrine therapy among premenopausal BC survivors, and non-existent to inform treatment decisions regarding extending OFS beyond 5 years. We sought to evaluate young BC survivors’ perceptions and preferences regarding extending OFS beyond 5 years, and consideration of a potential future study to assess the role of extended OFS. Methods. From January-April 2023, email invites were sent to the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) listserv (N=14,291) specifically asking members with a history of invasive BC (≤45 years at diagnosis; stage I-III without metastatic recurrence) receiving OFS injections for adjuvant endocrine treatment to complete a one-time anonymous online survey. The survey was designed to capture information regarding current endocrine therapy use, patient-provider communication regarding extended endocrine therapy including OFS, OFS-related concerns (rating 0-5 [low: 0-1, moderate: 2-3, severe: 4-5]), and interest in a potential future clinical trial utilizing OFS beyond 5 years. Descriptive statistics were utilized to summarize responses, and two-sided Fishers exact tests and chi-square analyses were used for comparisons. Results. A total of 1,030 YSC members completed the survey, and 615 were analyzed due to eligibility and completeness of data. The majority were from the United States (n=579, 94.1%) or Canada (n=8, 1.3%), were non-Hispanic white (n=452, 73.5%), non-Hispanic Black (n=46, 7.5%), or Hispanic (n=43, 7.0%), and had been diagnosed with stage II BC (n=316, 51.4%). The average age at survey was 38.1 years (SD=5.15, range=22-54) and at initial BC diagnosis was 34.6 years (SD=4.96, range=20-49). Most (n=510, 83.0%) were within their first 5 years of OFS treatment while 14.5% (n=89) had already been receiving OFS for more than 5 years. Many respondents (n=344, 55.9%) reported discussing OFS use beyond 5 years with their provider, of whom 39.8% (n=245) reported their provider recommending they continue OFS for more than 5 years. Despite reporting moderate and severe concerns regarding OFS side effects (n=476, 77.4%), inconvenience of injection visits (n=272, 44.2%), and high cost of medication (n=223, 36.3%), most respondents (n=396, 64.4%) would consider continuing OFS beyond 5 years if it would reduce risk of BC recurrence. For nearly half of respondents (n=289, 47.0%) a risk reduction of at least 5% would be required for extended OFS to be worthwhile compared to the remaining 46.3% (n=285) who indicated interest for < 5% risk reduction. When asked hypothetically if they would take part in a clinical trial to determine efficacy of OFS use beyond 5 years, the majority were interested (n=357, 58.0%). Respondents who were interested were less likely to be concerned about the high cost of medication (p=0.003) however they were also less likely to take OFS beyond 5 years if it only led to 1-2% BC risk reduction (p=0.006) compared to those who were not interested. There were no other proportional differences on any other outcome. Conclusion. Many BC survivors and providers are already considering incorporation of OFS beyond 5 years into adjuvant endocrine therapy despite harboring concerns and lack of data. Efforts to determine the efficacy and benefits of extended OFS are necessary given the risk of late recurrence in this population as well as the potential for significant short- and long-term toxicities. The results from this survey study suggest that future clinical trials evaluating potential benefits and risks of long-term OFS use among young BC survivors are needed and likely feasible.

Abstract Adolescent and young adults (AYAs) (15-39 years) have a heightened risk of developing a second primary malignancy due to extended periods of survivorship, higher incidence of germline cancer predisposing variants, and increased susceptibility to treatment-induced malignancies. Research on survivors of specific AYA cancer types, including breast cancer (BC) survivors, is limited. Among BC survivors, while much survivorship research focuses on risk of locoregional recurrence or contralateral BC, little is known about overall risk, and risk factors, of developing second non-breast primaries. This prospective cohort study examined women diagnosed with BC from 2006-2016 at age ≤40 years enrolled in the Young Women’s BC Study (YWS) (N=1297). Women were excluded from the analytic cohort if initially diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer (N=64). To enable investigation of how BC treatments may impact second primary risk, women were also excluded if they reported another cancer before primary BC diagnosis (N=3). Patient characteristics, treatment information, and clinical events were collected via serial surveys. Tumor characteristics and detailed treatment data were obtained from medical record review. Five- and 10-year risk of second non-breast primary was estimated via the cumulative incidence function after applying the Fine-Gray competing risks model with time starting at primary BC diagnosis. Death, metastasis, or diagnosis with a second primary BC were considered as competing events. Univariate and multivariate Fine-Gray sub-distribution models were used to estimate sub-distribution hazard ratios (sHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for second non-breast primary cancer risk. Risk factors considered included age, race, body mass index, smoking, alcohol use, income, family history of cancer, germline pathogenic variant (PV) carrier status, tumor stage, grade, and ER status, primary surgery type, and receipt of radiation, chemotherapy, or endocrine therapy (yes/no). Multivariate models tested individual associations with additional adjustment for radiation therapy and PV carrier status, as both are consistently associated with second primary in the literature. Over a median follow-up of 10.1 years (inter-quartile range (IQR) =7.9-12.1 y), 47 patients (4%) developed a second non-breast primary cancer. Median age at second non-breast primary was 43 years (IQR=39-46), and median time between primary BC and second non-breast primary was 7.3 years (IQR=4.1-9.3). Second primary types included melanoma (n=10), thyroid (n=10), ovarian (n=4), sarcoma (n=4), uterine (n=3), rectal (n=3), bladder (n=2), cervical (n=2), head and neck (n=2), lung (n=2), lymphoma (n=2), pancreatic (n=2), and kidney (n=1). During the study, 22 patients (2%) developed a second primary BC, 167 (19%) developed metastasis, and 15 (1%) died from causes other than BC. Among the patients who developed a second primary BC, two later developed another non-breast cancer (ovarian and brain cancer). When incorporating competing risks, five and 10-year cumulative incidence of second non-breast primary was 1.4% and 3.2%, respectively. No patient or treatment factors were statistically significantly associated with second non-breast primary in univariate or multivariate models, including radiation and PV carrier status. In this population of young BC survivors, 10-year cumulative incidence of second non-breast primary cancer was 3.2%, with the most common second cancers being melanoma and thyroid cancer. Incidence rates of all second primary cancer types in this cohort were higher than population-based incidence rates for healthy women under 50 years of age, highlighting the importance of long-term surveillance for other cancer events in this young population. While risk of second non-breast primary was not associated with primary BC treatment in this study, cases were limited, and the follow-up interval was relatively short.

Abstract Background: Young BC survivors are at risk for impaired QOL in part due to issues that are unique to their life stage. We sought to characterize trajectories of QOL in the 5 years following diagnosis among young BC survivors as well as evaluate patient and clinical characteristics associated with poorer or deteriorating QOL trajectories over time. Methods: Women diagnosed with stage I-III BC at age ≤40 enrolled in the Young Women’s BC Study, a prospective cohort in North America, who completed ≥2 study surveys through 5 years of post-diagnosis follow-up. QOL was evaluated with the Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System (CARES) physical, psychosocial, and sexual subscale scores. Demographic, treatment, and clinical characteristics were ascertained through surveys and chart review. Longitudinal trajectories for each CARES subscale were defined using group-based trajectory modeling; associations between patient/clinical characteristics and trajectory group membership were estimated for each subscale using multivariable multinomial logistic regression. Results: Among 900 women, median age at diagnosis was 36 (range: 17-40) 89% were white, 2% Black, and 4% Hispanic. At baseline, 73% were partnered, 61% parous and 49% perceived themselves as financially comfortable. Most had hormone-receptor positive (74%), HER2-negative (70%) BC, and most received chemotherapy (82%); 36% underwent mastectomy with radiation. Physical and psychosocial scores each clustered into 4 trajectories, with >75% of participants clustering in groups reflecting excellent or good QOL that was stable over time and few (6% for physical and 4% for psychosocial) clustering into groups that reflected poorer QOL at baseline that did not improve over time. Sexual health trajectories were more variable, clustering into 5 trajectories, with over half of participants clustered into groups reflecting good (35%) or excellent (20%) QOL that remained relatively stable over time, 22% clustered into a trajectory that was poor at baseline but moderately improved over follow-up, 13% in a group that reflected deteriorating from moderate-to-poor QOL and 11% in a group with poor QOL at baseline that did not improve over time. In multivariable regression analyses (Table), factors associated with clustering in a poorer trajectory (vs. clustering in an excellent trajectory), in multiple QOL domains included baseline financial discomfort (associated with poorer QOL across all 3 domains), mastectomy+radiation (vs. lumpectomy, associated with poorer QOL across all 3 domains); chemotherapy receipt (associated with poorer physical and sexual health trajectories); and baseline BMI >25 (vs. 18.5-24.9, associated with poorer physical and poorer/deteriorating sexual health trajectories). Conclusions: Young BC survivors follow distinct QOL trajectories in survivorship. While most will not experience substantial QOL impairment through the first 5 years following diagnosis, a substantial minority report persistently poor or deteriorating QOL. The association between more extensive local therapy and poorer physical/psychosocial/sexual health trajectories underscores the importance of communicating the potential for negative QOL outcomes when women are making surgical decisions. Additionally, the pervasive impact of financial wellbeing on multiple QOL domains supports the potential value of systematic screening for and addressing of financial distress to prevent or mitigate financial toxicity in survivorship Factors associated with clustering in poorer/deteriorating (vs. excellent) QOL trajectories *Reference trajectory=excellent QOL Citation Format: Tal Sella, Zheng Yue, Kathryn Ruddy, Shari Gelber, Rulla Tamimi, Jeffrey Peppercorn, Lidia Schapira, Virginia Borges, Steven Come, Eric Winer, Ann Partridge, Shoshana Rosenberg.
