ABSTRACTBackgroundFollowing breast cancer (BC), many young women are interested in future childbearing and some may wish to breastfeed. However, limited information is available regarding their lactation experiences.MethodsParticipants in the Young Women's Breast Cancer Study, a multicenter, prospective cohort study of women ≤40 years diagnosed with stage 0–III BC between 2006–2016 and who reported one or more live births following diagnosis, were surveyed about pregnancy and breastfeeding after BC treatment, including reasons for attempting and stopping breastfeeding, satisfaction, and supports.ResultsOf 143 eligible women sent a survey, 115 responded and 94 were included in the analytic cohort. Breastfeeding was attempted by 55% of women (52 of 94). Among those who had not attempted, 93% noted prior bilateral mastectomies (39 of 42). Among those who attempted breastfeeding, 69% had undergone lumpectomy and radiotherapy (36 of 52), 83% of whom reported no milk production from their treated breast (30 of 36). Most (65%, 34 of 52) were at least somewhat satisfied with their ability to breastfeed. Reasons for stopping breastfeeding included: having completed the planned duration (36%, 19 of 52); to start/resume endocrine therapy (21%, 11 of 52); and to resume breast imaging (8%, 4 of 52). Approximately half (27 of 55) of women who had not undergone bilateral mastectomies recalled receiving specific information about breastfeeding after BC, mostly from the oncology team (59%, 16 of 27), online resources (48%, 13 of 27), or a lactation consultant (44%, 12 of 27).ConclusionMost young BC survivors who attempted to breastfeed were able to and were satisfied with the experience, despite challenges. Specific resources to support BC survivors who wish to breastfeed are needed.

LBA509 Background: I-SPY2.2 is a multicenter phase 2 platform sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) evaluating novel experimental regimens in the neoadjuvant breast cancer setting. The novel therapy is given as first in a sequence (Block A), followed by standard chemo/targeted therapies (Block B/C) if indicated. The goal is to identify agents that lead to pCR after novel targeted agents alone, or in sequence with optimal therapy assigned based on the tumor response predictive subtype (RPS). RPS incorporates expression-based immune, DNA repair deficiency (DRD), and luminal signatures with hormone receptor (HR) and HER2 status to classify patients by subtype: S1: HR+HER2-Immune-DRD-; S2: HR-HER2-Immune-DRD-; S3: HER2-Immune+; S4: HER2-Immune-DRD+; S5: HER2+/non-Luminal; S6: HER2+/Luminal. Methods: RPS S1, S2, S3 and S4 were eligible for assignment to Dato in Block A. Patients (pts) were followed by MRI during treatment (at 3, 6 and 12 weeks after start of Blocks A and B). Predicted responders by MRI and biopsy at the end of Block A or B have the option of going to surgery early, otherwise they proceed to next treatment Block (B +/- C). Randomization to Block B includes a taxane-based regimen specific to the RPS, and options include S1: paclitaxel; S2 and S3: paclitaxel + carboplatin + pembrolizumab; S4: paclitaxel + carboplatin vs. paclitaxel + carboplatin + pembrolizumab. Patients who did not go to surgery after Block B proceeded to Block C (AC or AC + Pembrolizumab if HR-HER2-). The primary endpoint is pCR. Efficacy is evaluated within each RPS and HR+HER2- and HR-HER2- signatures. To estimate the arm's efficacy as a stand-alone therapy, we use a Bayesian covariate-adjusted model to estimate the pCR rate and compare the posterior distribution to a subtype-specific fixed threshold. This model uses pCR data when available and MRI data when pCR is not. To estimate pCR rate in the context of a multi-decision treatment regimen, we use a Bayesian model based on if and when a pCR occurred in the trial. The posterior is compared to a subtype-specific dynamic control generated from historical I-SPY data. Results: 103 pts were randomly assigned to the Dato arm between August 2022 and August 2023. All patients have proceeded beyond Block A; 33 went to surgery after Dato alone. The efficacy results for Dato as a stand-alone therapy are summarized in Table. Conclusions: Dato monotherapy was active, particularly in the HR-HER2- signature, but did not meet the pre-specified threshold for graduation in I-SPY 2.2. Clinical trial information: NCT01042379 .

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. Clinical trial information: NCT01468246 .

PURPOSE We investigated time to pregnancy, efficacy and safety of fertility preservation, and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in women with early hormone receptor–positive breast cancer (BC) desiring future pregnancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS POSITIVE is an international, single-arm, prospective trial, in which 518 women temporarily interrupted adjuvant endocrine therapy to attempt pregnancy. We evaluated menstruation recovery and factors associated with time to pregnancy and investigated if ART use was associated with achieving pregnancy. The cumulative incidence of BC-free interval (BCFI) events was estimated according to the use of ovarian stimulation at diagnosis. The median follow-up was 41 months. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-three patients (53%) reported amenorrhea at enrollment, of whom 94% resumed menses within 12 months. Among 497 patients evaluable for pregnancy, 368 (74%) reported at least one pregnancy. Young age was the main factor associated with shorter time to pregnancy with cumulative incidences of pregnancy by 1 year of 63.5%, 54.3%, and 37.7% for patients age <35, 35-39, and 40-42 years, respectively. One hundred and seventy-nine patients (36%) had embryo/oocyte cryopreservation at diagnosis, of whom 68 reported embryo transfer after enrollment. Cryopreserved embryo transfer was the only ART associated with higher chance of pregnancy (odds ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.75 to 4.95]). The cumulative incidence of BCFI events at 3 years was similar for women who underwent ovarian stimulation for cryopreservation at diagnosis, 9.7% (95% CI, 6.0 to 15.4), compared with those who did not, 8.7% (95% CI, 6.0 to 12.5). CONCLUSION In POSITIVE, fertility preservation using ovarian stimulation was not associated with short-term detrimental impact on cancer prognosis. Pregnancy rates were highest among those who underwent embryo/oocyte cryopreservation followed by embryo transfer.

OBJECTIVE In the treatment of skull base chordoma (SBC) surgery is considered the mainstay approach, and gross-total resection has an established relationship with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). However, the tumor’s location often interferes with attempts at complete resection. In this case, surgery for maximal resection followed by high-dose radiotherapy has been demonstrated to be the standard treatment. In this context, various modalities are available, yet no consensus exists on the most effective. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different radiotherapy modalities for SBC. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, the authors systematically searched for the treatment of SBC with radiation modalities in the PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases. Outcomes assessed for each modality were as follows: OS, PFS, local control (LC), and complications. The random-effects model was adopted. A single-proportion analysis with 95% CI was used to measure the effects in single-arm analysis. For the comparative analysis, the OR with 95% CI was used to compare outcome treatment effects. Heterogeneity was assessed using I 2 statistics, and statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. RESULTS A total of 32 studies comprising 3663 patients, with 2322 patients who were treated with radiotherapeutic modalities, were included. Regarding 5-year OS findings in each modality study, the findings were as follows: in photon fractionated radiotherapy, an estimated rate of 77% (69%–84%, 568 patients); in conventional fractionated radiotherapy, 76% (65%–87%, 517 cases); in proton-based + carbon ion–based radiotherapy, 85% (82%–88%, 622 cases); and in a comparative analysis of proton-based and carbon ion–based therapy, there was an OR of 1.2 (95% CI 0.59–2.43, 306 cases). Regarding the 5-year PFS estimate, the rates were as follows: 35% (26%–45%, 95 cases) for photon fractionated therapy; 35% (25%–45%, 85 cases) for stereotactic radiotherapy; 77% (50%–100%, 180 cases) for proton-based and carbon ion–based radiotherapy; and 74% (45%–100%, 102 cases) for proton-based radiotherapy. Regarding LC in periods of 3 and 5 years after proton- and carbon ion–based therapy, the overall estimated rates were 84% (78%–90%, 326 cases) and 75% (65%–85%, 448 cases), respectively. For proton-based radiotherapy and carbon ion–based therapy, the 5-year LC rates were 76% (67%–86%, 259 cases) and 75% (59%–91%, 189 cases), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The analysis highlights the finding that particle-based modalities like proton beam radiotherapy and carbon ion radiotherapy are the most effective radiation therapies available for the treatment of SBC. Furthermore, it reinforces the idea that surgery followed by radiotherapy constitutes the standard treatment.

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=&lt; 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 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 &gt;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 &gt;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.
