Abstract Little is known about risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) relapse in mature T-cell and natural killer cell neoplasms (MTNKNs). We aimed to describe the clinical epidemiology of CNS relapse in patients with MTNKN and developed the CNS relapse In T-cell lymphoma Index (CITI) to predict patients at the highest risk of CNS relapse. We reviewed data from 135 patients with MTNKN and CNS relapse from 19 North American institutions. After exclusion of leukemic and most cutaneous forms of MTNKNs, patients were pooled with non-CNS relapse control patients from a single institution to create a CNS relapse–enriched training set. Using a complete case analysis (n = 182), including 91 with CNS relapse, we applied a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model to select weighted clinicopathologic variables for the CITI score, which we validated in an external cohort from the Swedish Lymphoma Registry (n = 566). CNS relapse was most frequently observed in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (25%). Median time to CNS relapse and median overall survival after CNS relapse were 8.0 and 4.7 months, respectively. We calculated unique CITI risk scores for individual training set patients and stratified them into risk terciles. Validation set patients with low-risk (n = 158) and high-risk (n = 188) CITI scores had a 10-year cumulative risk of CNS relapse of 2.2% and 13.4%, respectively (hazard ratio, 5.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.50-18.26; P = .018). We developed an open-access web-based CITI calculator (https://redcap.link/citicalc) to provide an easy tool for clinical practice. The CITI score is a validated model to predict patients with MTNKN at the highest risk of developing CNS relapse.

Purpose: To investigate the molecular characteristics of and potential for precision medicine in KRAS wildtype pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Patients and Methods: We investigated 27 patients with KRASWT PDAC at our institution. Clinical data were obtained via chart review. Tumor specimens for each subject were interrogated for somatic single nucleotide variants, insertion and deletions, and copy number variants by DNA sequencing. Gene fusions were detected from RNA-seq. A patient-derived organoid (PDO) was developed from a patient with a MET translocation and expanded ex vivo to predict therapeutic sensitivity prior to enrollment in a phase 2 clinical trial. Results: Transcriptomic analysis showed our cohort may be stratified by the relative gene expression of the KRAS signaling cascade. The PDO derived from our patient harboring a TFG-MET rearrangement was found to have in vitro sensitivity to the multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib. The patient was enrolled in the phase 2 SPARTA clinical trial and received monotherapy with vebrelitinib, a c-MET inhibitor, and achieved a partial and durable response. Conclusions: KRASWT PDAC is molecularly distinct from KRASMUT and enriched with potentially actionable genetic variants. In our study, transcriptomic profiling revealed that the KRAS signaling cascade may play a key role in KRASWT PDAC. Our report of a KRASWT PDAC patient with TFG-MET rearrangement who responded to a cMET inhibitor further supports the pursuit of precision oncology in this sub-population. Identification of targetable mutations, perhaps through approaches like RNA-seq, can help enable precision-driven approaches to select optimal treatment based on tumor characteristics.

Abstract Deep learning may detect biologically important signals embedded in tumor morphologic features that confer distinct prognoses. Tumor morphologic features were quantified to enhance patient risk stratification within DNA mismatch repair (MMR) groups using deep learning. Using a quantitative segmentation algorithm (QuantCRC) that identifies 15 distinct morphologic features, we analyzed 402 resected stage III colon carcinomas [191 deficient (d)-MMR; 189 proficient (p)-MMR] from participants in a phase III trial of FOLFOX-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Results were validated in an independent cohort (176 d-MMR; 1,094 p-MMR). Association of morphologic features with clinicopathologic variables, MMR, KRAS, BRAFV600E, and time-to-recurrence (TTR) was determined. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were developed to predict TTR. Tumor morphologic features differed significantly by MMR status. Cancers with p-MMR had more immature desmoplastic stroma. Tumors with d-MMR had increased inflammatory stroma, epithelial tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), high-grade histology, mucin, and signet ring cells. Stromal subtype did not differ by BRAFV600E or KRAS status. In p-MMR tumors, multivariable analysis identified tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) as the strongest feature associated with TTR [HRadj 2.02; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.14–3.57; P = 0.018; 3-year recurrence: 40.2% vs. 20.4%; Q1 vs. Q2–4]. Among d-MMR tumors, extent of inflammatory stroma (continuous HRadj 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; P = 0.028; 3-year recurrence: 13.3% vs. 33.4%, Q4 vs. Q1) and N stage were the most robust prognostically. Association of TSR with TTR was independently validated. In conclusion, QuantCRC can quantify morphologic differences within MMR groups in routine tumor sections to determine their relative contributions to patient prognosis, and may elucidate relevant pathophysiologic mechanisms driving prognosis. Significance: A deep learning algorithm can quantify tumor morphologic features that may reflect underlying mechanisms driving prognosis within MMR groups. TSR was the most robust morphologic feature associated with TTR in p-MMR colon cancers. Extent of inflammatory stroma and N stage were the strongest prognostic features in d-MMR tumors. TIL density was not independently prognostic in either MMR group.

ImportancePersistence of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is associated with increased relapse and death after transplant, but the association between the level of measurable residual disease (MRD) detected and clinical outcome is unknown.ObjectiveTo examine the association between pre–allogeneic HCT MRD level with relapse and death posttransplant in adults with AML in first CR.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsIn this cohort study, DNA sequencing was performed on first CR blood from patients with FLT3-ITD AML transplanted from March 2013 to February 2019. Clinical follow-up was through May 2022. Data were analyzed from October 2022 to December 2023.ExposureCentralized DNA sequencing for FLT3-ITD in pre–allogeneic HCT first CR blood using a commercially available kit.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were overall survival and cumulative incidence of relapse, with non–relapse-associated mortality as a competing risk post–allogeneic HCT. Kaplan-Meier estimations (log-rank tests), Cox proportional hazards models, and Fine-Gray models were used to estimate the end points.ResultsOf 537 included patients with FLT3-ITD AML from the Pre-MEASURE study, 296 (55.1%) were female, and the median (IQR) age was 55.6 (42.9-64.1) years. Using the variant allele fraction (VAF) threshold of 0.01% or greater for MRD positivity, the results closely aligned with those previously reported. With no VAF threshold applied (VAF greater than 0%), 263 FLT3-ITD variants (median [range] VAF, 0.005% [0.0002%-44%]), and 177 patients (33.0%) with positive findings were identified. Multivariable analyses showed that residual FLT3-ITD was the variable most associated with relapse and overall survival, with a dose-dependent correlation. Patients receiving reduced-intensity conditioning without melphalan or nonmyeloablative conditioning had increased risk of relapse and death at any given level of MRD compared with those receiving reduced-intensity conditioning with melphalan or myeloablative conditioning.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study provides generalizable and clinically applicable evidence that the detection of residual FLT3-ITD in the blood of adults in first CR from AML prior to allogeneic HCT is associated with an increased risk of relapse and death, particularly for those with a VAF of 0.01% or greater. While transplant conditioning intensification, an intervention not available to all, may help mitigate some of this risk, alternative approaches will be necessary for this high-risk population of patients who are underserved by the current standard of care.

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 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.

Abstract Background: In patients with micro- and macrometastases in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), additional positive nodes are found in >60% of cases and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is currently considered standard of care. The likelihood of finding additional positive lymph nodes in patients with residual isolated tumor cells (ITCs) is unknown, and the benefit of ALND is unclear. As a consequence, surgical management of the axilla in these patients is not standardized. We sought to evaluate how often additional positive lymph nodes are found, to determine factors associated with ALND, and to compare oncological outcomes in patients treated with and without ALND after identification of residual ITCs in the SLN. Methods: Data were collected from 42 centers: 20 in the Oncoplastic Breast Consortium (OPBC) and EUBREAST networks, and 22 in North and South America. We included patients with cT1-4 N0-3 breast cancer at diagnosis who underwent NAC followed by axillary staging with either SLN biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) and were found to have residual ITCs [ypN0(i+)]. Single-tracer mapping was allowed for cN0 patients, while dual mapping or TAD was required for cN+ cases. Axillary treatment included completion ALND and/or nodal radiotherapy (RT). Competing risk analysis was performed to assess the cumulative incidence rates of any axillary recurrence (AR), locoregional recurrence (LRR), and any invasive (locoregional or distant) recurrence. Five-year cumulative incidence rates were compared between patients who underwent ALND and those who did not using the Gray’s test. Type I error rate was set to 0.05 (α). Results: We included 412 patients treated with NAC followed by surgery from 01/2009-05/2022. 146 (35.4%) had completion ALND and 266 (64.6%%) did not. Median patient age was 48 years. The majority (57%) of patients had clinical T2 tumors, and 68% had biopsy-proven N1 disease. Most were HR+/HER2- (41%) or HER2+ (39%). Most patients (80%) received anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy regimens. Nodal RT was administered to 83% of patients. The median number of SLNs with ITCs was 1. Patients treated with ALND were more likely to have ITCs detected on frozen section (61% v 6.7%, p< 0.001), to have N2/3 disease at presentation (15.1% v 5.6%, p=0.001) and to have LVI (40% v 26%, p=0.004) (Table 1). There was no significant trend over time in the proportion of patients undergoing completion ALND during the study period (p=0.5). In the ALND group, additional positive nodes were found in 43/146 (29.5%) of cases, and consisted of macrometastases in 11/146 (7.5%), micrometastases in 9/146 (6.2%), and ITCs in 23/146 (15.8%). 5-year rates of any AR, LRR, and any invasive recurrence in the entire cohort were 2.7% (95% CI 1.2-5.4), 2.8% (95% CI 1.2-5.4) and 16% (95% CI 11-21), respectively. There was no statistical difference between patients who underwent ALND and those who did not in any of the 3 endpoints (2.2% v 3.1%, p=0.6), (2.6% v 3.0%, p=0.4) and (14% v 18%, p=0.12), respectively. Conclusion: The likelihood of finding additional positive lymph nodes in patients with ITCs after NAC is lower than in patients with residual micro- and macrometastases, and in the majority of cases, they contain ITCs. Nodal recurrence after omission of ALND is rare in this population. Overall, these results do not support routine ALND in patients with residual ITCs. Table 1.
