e21007 Background: There is a lack of data to guide the management of resectable bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors (BCTs). Methods: The NCDB database was retrospectively reviewed to analyze the roles of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Patients with a diagnosis of clinically staged T1-2/N0-1 typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical carcinoid (AC) between 2004-2012 were included. Kaplan-Meier methods and multivariable analysis were performed. Results: A total of 2148 patients (TC 1874 & AC 274; T1/1648 & T2/500) were identified. The median age was 59 (range 18-89). There was a female (69.7%) and right lung (56.9%) predominance. Fifty-three patients received pneumonectomy, 68 chemotherapy, and 84 radiation therapy. The impact of age, histology (TC vs. AC), medical comorbidities (Charlson/Deyo score 0 vs. ≥1) and type of surgery [sublobar resection (SR) vs. lobectomy vs. lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection (L/MLND)] were subsequently examined. AC, older age, and comorbidities were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) by both univariate and multivariable analysis. Patients who underwent lobectomy had longer OS (119 months) than those with SR (109 months) or L/MLND (115 months). However, this association was not significant by multivariable analysis with age incorporated as either a categorical ( < 60 vs. ≥60) or a continuous variable (Table). In the subgroup analysis of patients with T1, T2, TC and AC respectively, type of surgical resection was not significantly associated with OS by multivariable analysis. Conclusions: Patients with resectable BCTs have excellent OS. Atypical histology, older age, and comorbidities predicted inferior OS. There were insufficient data to support the use of perioperative chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Lobectomy was associated with prolonged OS by univariate analysis but this was not significant in the multivariable model, suggesting that SR is a reasonable approach for patients who cannot tolerate lobectomy. MLND did not seem to provide additional survival benefits. [Table: see text]

Objectives A platinum/etoposide doublet is standard first-line therapy for poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (PD NEC); however, evidence to guide treatment beyond first-line regimens is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of second-line regimens in PD NEC. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated with second-line chemotherapy for PD NEC. Inclusion criteria were previous first-line therapy with platinum/etoposide, extrapulmonary PD NEC, and follow-up data. The primary end points were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after second-line therapy. Secondary end points included OS and PFS from first-line therapy. Results Sixty-four patients were included. The median OS from initiation of second-line therapy was 6.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.9–8.9). The median PFS was 2.3 months (95% CI, 2.0–3.2). No second-line regimen showed a statistically significant difference in OS or PFS. There was a significant increase in OS for cisplatin first-line regimens compared with carboplatin (17.0 months [95% CI, 12.5–22.6] vs 11.7 months [95% CI, 8.0–14.0]). Conclusions The efficacy of current second-line therapy in PD NEC is poor. No second-line regimen showed statistically significant superiority. Cisplatin was associated with longer OS regardless of second-line regimen or age. However, unmeasured confounders such as performance status or comorbidities may explain this effect.

Abstract Background: American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) currently represent approximately 2% of the US population. However, population-based cancer studies are generally limited. Utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER), we investigated the incidence, major subtype distribution, and survival of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) in the AI/NA population. Methods: We queried the SEER 2000-2012 database for AI/AN patients with NHL using ICD-O-3 codes 9590-9823. We calculated their incidence rate (case/1,000,000) and trend as well as risk ratios compared to other races, age-adjusted to the US 2000 standard population. Patient level data were extracted to perform summary statistics and calculate overall survival (OS) using STATA/IC 12.1. Results: We identified 1,135 AI/NA patients with NHL. The average age was 59.6 years (range, 20-85) and 53% were males. The distribution of the major NHL subtypes resembles that seen among the rest of the population and is as follows: diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL; 28%), marginal zone (MZL; 19%), follicular (FL; 13%), small lymphocytic/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SLL/CLL; 10%), NHL not-otherwise specified (NOS, 4%), mantle cell (MCL; 2%), anaplastic large cell (ALCL; 2%), lymphoplasmacytic (LPL; 1%), and peripheral T-cell (PTCL; 1%). The overall incidence of NHL is 26.4 and did not significantly change over the 12-year study period (Annual Percent Change 0.0, 95% CI [-0.3, 0.3]). Compared to other races, AI/NA have lower incidence of NHL including most of the major subtypes (Table). The median OS for all types of NHL combined is 4.16 years. AI/AN OS is statistically inferior compared to Whites(Figure). Conclusions: The NHLincidence in AI/NA is lowest among the major race groups and has remained stable in the past 12 years. However their OS is inferior when compared to Whites. The distribution of major NHL subtypes and OS are similar to the rest of the population. Figure 1. Figure 1.

Abstract Introduction Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an extremely rare hematologic malignancy that was grouped with myeloid malignancies in the 2008 WHO classification. The current available literature is limited to small case series and single-institution experiences. This population study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) and the National Cancer Database (NCDB) is the largest to explore epidemiologic and outcome data in BPDCN. SEER collects cancer incidence and survival data from cancer registries covering approximately 26% of the US population. NCDB is a nationwide, facility-based, comprehensive, clinical-surveillance resource for oncology data coming from more than 1500 Commission of Cancer (CoC)-accredited programs. Methods Using data from the SEER and NCDB registries, this study respectively identified 379 (years 2000-2013) and 216 (years 2004-2012) adult patients over the age of 20 diagnosed with BPDCN (ICDO-3 coding 9727). We used the SEER registry to estimate incidence rates, ratios and trends and the NCDB registry to study clinical characteristics, survival and outcomes. The JMP statistical software and the SEER*STAT 8.3.2 were used to conduct statistical analysis. We analyzed survival using the Kaplan-Meier method and used log-rank tests to compare survival distributions. The prognostic effect of pertinent clinical variables was studied using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. All tests of statistical significance were two-sided and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results The median age at diagnosis for BPDCN was 52 years (20-93). The incidence of BPDCN was found to be 0.45/1,000,000 age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population with similar trends over the years. No racial disparities were identified. The male:female ratio was 2 (P<0.00001). The bone marrow was the most common primary site of involvement (42%) followed by the skin (20%) and the heart, mediastinum and pleura (13%). The median overall survival for the entire cohort was found to be 23 months (95% CI; 17-34). Survival rates at 1 year, 2 years and 5 years were found to be 66%, 49% and 38% respectively. 20 patients (10%) underwent a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as part of their initial therapy and the median overall survival for these patients was not reached compared to a median survival of 19 months for patients who did not undergo upfront HSCT (95% CI; 15-30, P=0.006). A univariate and multivariate analysis was performed including age, race, sex, HSCT, insurance status, income, treatment facility (academic versus non-academic) and disease primary site. Young age and HSCT were predictors of better outcomes. 60 years and older was found to be the age cut-off associated with significantly inferior survival based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Conclusion BPDCN is a rare hematologic malignancy associated with a poor median survival of less than two years. Males are twice more likely to be affected than females. The bone marrow is the primary site of involvement in most cases. Younger age (<60 years) and HSCT were predictors of significantly better outcomes.

8549 Background: Bronchial carcinoid tumors are a rare group of neoplasms that usually have an indolent clinical behavior. Surgical resection is the main treatment modality for patients with early stage disease, however it is unclear if lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection (L) is superior compared to partial lobectomy (PL). Methods: Utilizing the National Cancer Database from 2004-2012, 1551 patients diagnosed with T1N0 or T2N0 typical carcinoid tumors (CT), and 167 atypical carcinoid tumors (ACT), who underwent L or PL (segmental or wedge resection) as initial treatment strategy, and did not receive chemotherapy or radiation were identified. All patients had pathologically confirmed diagnosis, negative surgical margins, and complete follow up data. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed utilizing Kaplan-Meier curves, and log-rank tests were used for statistical comparisons. Cox proportional hazards were performed to control for age, sex, race, grade, year of diagnosis, Charlson/Deyo Score, insurance, income, and facility type. T-test was used to compare post-surgical hospital stay. Results: The entire cohort median age was 61 years (range 18-90), and male to female ratio was 0.43. 75% of patients with CT and 78% of ATC underwent L. The 90 day mortality following surgery was < 1 % in both surgical groups. Patients who underwent L had longer post-operative hospitalization stay (mean 5.3 vs. 4.3 days; p < 0.001). The 5 year survival for patients with CT was 95% in the L versus 93% in the PL group (p = 0.62), and for ACT 89% in the L versus 81% PL group (p = 0.28). In a multivariate analysis increasing age was the only prognostic factor, and was associated with inferior survival. The HR for death comparing PL to L was 1.09 (95% CI: 0.65-1.78; p = 0.71) for CT and 1.25 (95% CI: 0.45-3.23; p = 0.65) for ACT. Conclusions: Patients with localized node-negative CT and ACT have excellent 5 year survival. Performing a lobectomy with mediastinal node dissection may not provide additional benefit compared to partial lobectomy, but this may increase the length of hospital stay.

e17529 Background: The immune system plays a major role in anti-tumor surveillance in healthy individuals. Immunosuppression after solid organ transplant prevents graft rejection, but leads to increased incidence of various malignancies including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Outcomes of patients (pts) with post-transplant HNSCC are unknown. Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, we retrospectively identified pts who developed HNSCC after solid organ transplant between 1995 and 2010. Adults with pathology-proven HNSCC and good follow up were included. Cutaneous cancers were excluded. Median overall survival (mOS) and progression free survival (mPFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method. The prognostic effect of variables was studied with Cox proportional hazards models. Results: 33 pts met study inclusion criteria. The median time to HNSCC after transplant was 5.9 years. The primary site was the oral cavity in 15 pts, the oropharynx in 10, the larynx in 3, the hypopharynx in 2, the parotid in 2 and unknown in 1 pt. 58% of pts presented with locally advanced disease, 39% with localized disease and one pt with metastatic disease. 87% underwent upfront surgical resection. Of those, 66% received adjuvant therapy (38% radiation alone and 28% chemoradiation). 6% of pts had definitive chemoradiation. After a median follow up of 10.5 years, the 5-year OS rate was 45% and 37% for localized and locally advanced disease respectively. 75% of pts with oropharyngeal tumors were HPV-positive and they had better outcomes (5-year OS rate of 67%). The mPFS for the cohort was 22.8 months (95% CI; 11.6-50.1) with a median time to relapse of 15.2 months. The pattern of relapse was local in 69% of pts, distant in 25% and local plus distant in 6%. In a multivariate analysis, age > 60 years was a negative predictor of survival (HR 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 6.5; P = 0.03). Conclusions: This retrospective study evaluated the clinical course and outcomes of pts with non-cutaneous HNSCC after solid organ transplant. Pts had inferior survival compared to historical controls. older pts had poor prognosis. The risk of local and distant recurrence was high. HPV-positive oropharyngeal tumors continue to have better outcomes in this population.

6048 Background: The role of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection in non-oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (non-OPSCC) of the head and neck is unknown. Current available studies have yielded conflicting results due to limited number of patients. We present a large analysis from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) evaluating HPV-positive non-OPSCC. Methods: Using the NCDB registry, we included adults diagnosed with non-OPSCC from 2004-2012 with available HPV status. A cohort of patients with OPSCC was analyzed for HPV prevalence comparison. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and stratified using HPV-status. The prognostic effect of variables was studied using Cox proportional hazards models. The JMP software was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 8726 non-OPSCC patients were identified and primary sites included the oral cavity (50%), larynx (41%) and hypopharynx (9%). 11% of non-OPSCC patients had evidence of infection with high-risk HPV strains compared to 61% of OPSCC patients. HPV-positive non-OPSCC patients presented at slightly younger age, had more advanced stage and higher tumor grade compared to HPV-negative patients (P < 0.01). HPV-positive non-OPSCC patients had better survival than HPV-negative patients (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.72-0.93, P < 0.01) and this was most pronounced in patients with locally advanced disease (5-year survival 50% versus 40%, HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.6-0.8, P < 0.01). A univariate and multivariate analysis were performed adjusting for age, sex, race, stage, primary site, Charlson/Deyo comorbidity score, financial income, tumor grade, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy administration. Smoking history was unavailable. HPV positivity was an independent predictor of better survival in non-OPSCC in multivariate analysis (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.59-0.8, P < 0.01). Conclusions: HPV infection is seen in a subset of patients with non-OPSCC head and neck cancer and these present with more advanced tumors. The survival of patients with HPV-positive non-OPSCC is significantly better than HPV-negative tumors. Routine HPV testing and enrollment in treatment de-intensification clinical trials similar to OPSCC might be appropriate for this patient population.

8533 Background: BNET are a rare and frequently indolent group of neoplasms. Lobectomy is frequently done for patients with non-metastatic disease, and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with node positive disease (N+) is debated. Methods: Utilizing the National Cancer Database from 2004-2012 we identified 1682 patients with N+ non-metastatic BNET. All patients underwent primary resection, had pathologically confirmed diagnosis, complete follow up data, and were alive > 30 days following surgery. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed utilizing Kaplan-Meier curves, and log-rank tests were used to compare 2 groups of patients that differed based on receiving or not adjuvant chemotherapy. Subgroup analyses were performed based on histologic subtypes. Cox proportional hazards was performed to control for age, sex, race, grade, surgical margins, type of surgery, year of diagnosis, Charlson/Deyo Score, insurance, facility type, and location. Results: 651 patients with typical carcinoid (CT), 239 atypical carcinoid (ACT), 426 large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), and 366 neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) were analyzed. The cohort median age was 61, and the female:male ratio was 1.8 for CT, ACT and NEC, and 1 for LCNEC 90% of patients were White and there were no significant differences amongst histologic subtypes. 6% of patients with CT received ADJ-CT, compared to 40% ACT, 42% NEC, and 70% LCNEC. In a multivariate analysis, only increasing age was associated with worse prognosis across all histologic subtypes, and non-academic facility for CT, and male sex for NEC. ADJ-CT was not associated with OS benefit for patients with ACT (HR 1.1; 95% CI 0.68-1.78; p:0.6), was associated with inferior OS in CT (HR: 3.8 (95% CI 1.9-7.0; p = 0.004) and NEC (HR: 2.15; 95% CI 1.5-3.0; p < 0.001), and may provide benefit for LCNEC (HR: 0.67; 95% CI 0.5-0.9; p = 0.009). Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with survival benefit for patients with node positive and non-metastatic BNET except for LCNEC, and may be harmful for patients with CT and NEC.

Abstract Background: In stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), survival has significantly improved with the use of novel therapies and better supportive care. Despite such trends, it has been noted that patients (pts) frequently refuse cancer treatment. Therefore, we explored the factors associated with treatment refusal in pts with stage IV NSCLC. Methods: Utilizing the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we identified all incident cases with stage IV NSCLC from 2004 to 2014. Patients who received cancer treatment outside of the reporting facility or died before receiving treatment were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine associations with treatment refusal. Results: A total of 341,993 pts were identified. On average, 5.4% of pts refused radiation therapy and 10.3% refused chemotherapy despite provider recommendations. The proportion of pts refusing radiation and chemotherapy increased over the study period from 4.2% to 7.3% and 7.9% to 15%, respectively (p&lt;0.001 for both). In multivariable analysis, men were less likely to refuse radiation or chemotherapy compared to women (OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.76-0.83, p&lt;0.001; OR: 0.84, 95%CI: 0.81-0.86, p&lt;0.001, respectively). Factors associated with radiation therapy refusal included: Medicaid or Medicare as primary insurance (OR: 1.95, 95%CI: 1.76-2.15, p&lt;0.001; OR: 1.25, 95%CI: 1.17-1.34, p&lt;0.001, respectively) or a &gt;2 Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR: 1.97, 95%CI: 1.85-2.10, p&lt;0.001). Moreover, receiving care at an academic center (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.53-0.62, p&lt;0.001) was associated with less likelihood of refusing radiation. Regarding chemotherapy, uninsured pts (OR: 2.45, 95%CI: 2.26-2.66, p&lt;0.001), pts with Medicaid as primary insurance (OR: 2.17, 95%CI: 2.03-2.32, p&lt;0.001) or with a high comorbidity index (OR: 1.76, 95%CI: 1.68-1.84, p&lt;0.001) were more likely to refuse chemotherapy. Contrary to findings from previous studies, Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics were less likely to refuse chemotherapy compared to non-Hispanic whites (OR: 0.86, 95%CI: 0.82-0.91, p&lt;0.001; OR: 0.78, 95%CI: 0.72-0.89, p&lt;0.001). Patients receiving care at an academic center and residing in high income neighborhoods were less likely to refuse chemotherapy (OR: 0.76, 95%CI: 0.72-0.80, p&lt;0.001; OR: 0.76, 95%CI: 0.71-0.81, p&lt;0.001, respectively). Distance from residence to treating facility and living in a rural county did not affect treatment refusal. Conclusions: Socioeconomic factors rather than race/ethnicity appear to influence refusal of cancer treatment in pts with stage IV NSCLC in the NCDB. Assessing socioeconomic challenges should be an essential part of patients' evaluation when discussing treatment options.
