89 Background: Enterocolitis is a potentially fatal toxicity of CAPE. The safety of infusional 5-FU-based regimens in patients developing severe enterocolitis with CAPE is not well established in the literature. Methods: After institutional review board approval, a database search identified patients who received infusional 5-FU-based regimens between January 2015 and July 2022 in a tertiary care cancer center after experiencing severe CAPE-induced enterocolitis, defined as the presence of grade 3 or higher diarrhea and features of enterocolitis on computed tomography (CT) scan. Data on patient characteristics, grade of CAPE-induced diarrhea, clinical course, details of 5-FU-based regimens administered after recovery, and outcomes were collected by retrospective electronic chart review. Results: Among the 791 patients treated with CAPE during the study period, 27 (3.4%) developed grade 3 or higher diarrhea, and 15 of these 27 patients (1.9%) had evidence of enterocolitis on CT scan. All patients were treated with supportive measures. All but 1 patient recovered fully; 1 patient died due to a condition unrelated to CAPE toxicity. After complete recovery, 7 patients aged 46 to 69 years (median, 68 years) received FOLFOX (oxaliplatin and infusional 5-FU). The time interval between recovery from CAPE-induced enterocolitis and the start of infusional 5-FU ranged from 4 to 20 weeks (median, 12 weeks), with 3 patients starting 5-FU within 4-5 weeks of recovery. Standard dose 5-FU (2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours) was given to 2 of the 7 patients; the remaining 5 patients received 50% to 80% of the standard dose at the beginning of treatment, but eventually tolerated the standard dose. All patients tolerated 5-FU infusion without experiencing any grade 2 or higher 5-FU induced GI toxicity. Conclusions: Most patients developing severe enterocolitis with CAPE recover fully with appropriate supportive measures. Infusional 5-FU-based regimens appear to be safe in this patient group. Severe CAPE-induced enterocolitis should not preclude the use of infusional 5-FU-based regimens, especially in curative-intent settings such as adjuvant therapy.

754 Background: ATM and CHEK2 mutations are linked to homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency, with the potential for improved therapeutic response to DNA damaging agents. To investigate our clinical observation of improved outcomes with irinotecan (IRI) based chemotherapy in advanced/metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients (pts) with somatic or germline ATM/ CHEK2 mutations, we examined our institutional real world experience. Methods: Between 2015-2021, 33 pts with ATM or CHEK2 mutations treated with chemotherapy were identified, of which 16 pts had advanced/metastatic disease. Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated and compared (Kaplan Meier, log-rank test) in several ways to assess the impact of IRI vs platinum or other regimens. The event for PFS was progression (or death), and pts without progression were censored at treatment end, or at last follow up if treatment was ongoing. Results: Among 16 pts with advanced/metastatic PDAC, 8 (50%) had ATM (5 germline, 3 somatic) and 8 (50%), CHEK2 alterations (4 germline, 4 somatic). Overall, pts received 48 lines of chemotherapy (platinum-based-(No-IRI) N=14; IRI-based-(No-Platinum) N=8; both N=4; none N=22). For best-PFS among pts analysis, median line of best-PFS therapy for IRI-Ever (N=9 pts) was 2nd line (range 1-7) and for IRI-Never (N=7 pts) was 1st (range, 1-1); median PFS was 13 vs 3 months (mo) (IRI-Ever vs IRI-Never; p=0.0076). For PFS analysis within lines of treatment of each pt, median therapy line for both IRI-containing and No-IRI lines was 2nd line (range 1-7); median PFS for IRI-containing (N=12 lines of therapy) vs No-IRI (N=36) was 12.1 vs 3 mo (p

105 Background: Patients with potentially resectable dMMR/MSI-H colon cancer (CC) often receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy (IO) if co-morbid conditions or the extent of disease preclude upfront surgery. We investigated the outcome of such patients treated in a real-world setting. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study that included patients with dMMR/MSI-H localized and oligometastatic CC receiving neoadjuvant IO between January 1, 2016, and July 31, 2022 with a data cut-off date of September 15, 2022. Electronic charts were reviewed to gather data on patient characteristics, tumor characteristics, detailed treatment, toxicity, treatment response, and survival. The response was assessed by radiologic studies, endoscopy, pathology in resected patients, and circulating tumor DNA. Results: The study included 24 patients with a median age of 69 years (range, 32 to 91); 12 (50%) patients were female, and 5 (21%) patients were African American. Among the patients included, 12 (50%) had localized CC (9 of whom had clinical stage III disease), and the rest had oligometastatic CC. The reasons for not undergoing upfront surgery were co-morbidity in 12 patients (50%), disease extent in 11 (46%), and both in 1 (4%). Four patients (17%) received the ipilimumab/nivolumab combination, and the rest received pembrolizumab. Most patients (63%) received IO in the first-line setting. The median duration of IO and the time to best response were 7.5 months (range, 2 to 55) and 3 months (range, 3 to 12), respectively. Among 23 evaluable patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 74 % (17/23), with complete response (CR) in 13 (57%), and partial response (PR) in 4 (17%) patients. Response assessment is pending in 1 patient. Four patients (17%) had stable disease (SD), and 2 patients (8 %) experienced progressive disease (PD) on IO (1 with localized and the other with metastatic CC). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) did not reach for the whole group after a median follow-up of 12.5 months (range, 2 to 69 months), with 19/24 (79 %) patients remaining progression-free. Three patients underwent surgery with 2/3 achieving pathological CR. Among the 12 patients with localized CC, ORR was 73% (6 CR, 2 PR, 2 SD, 1 PD, and 1 assessment pending); median PFS and OS were not reached after a median follow-up of 9 months (range, 2 to 45) with 1 patient experiencing progression on IO at the time of data cut-off. No unexpected toxicity was observed. Conclusions: In this small cohort of patients with dMMR/MSI-H localized and oligometastatic CC, most patients showed deep and durable responses to neoadjuvant IO, obviating the need for surgery. Progression on IO was rare. This real-world data support investigating a non-operative paradigm in patients with dMMR/MSI-H localized and oligometastatic CC.

192 Background: Ototoxicity is a common and treatment-limiting side effect of cisplatin. Rates of permanent hearing loss due to cisplatin treatment range from 40 to 80% and are associated with considerable morbidity and negative impact on quality of life. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies for preventing hearing loss caused by cisplatin. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are of interest due to putative pleiotropic effects, decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress. Some preclinical and retrospective studies have shown reduction in cisplatin-related hearing loss with concurrent administration of statins. Objectives: This study's primary objective was to evaluate the impact of statin use on cisplatin-related hearing loss rates measured by change in Chang Grade (CG). Chang criteria was chosen as it allows for evaluation of hearing loss severity without the need for word recognition. This study also assessed the effect of statin dose intensity, cisplatin dose, and concurrent use of ototoxins on cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of adult patients who received cisplatin within a single health care network between March 2010 and December 2020. Patients were included in this IRB-approved analysis if they had baseline and follow-up audiograms prior to and after cisplatin treatment. Each patient had data collected on primary cancer location, cumulative cisplatin dose, chemotherapy regimen, concurrent radiation treatment to the head and neck area, and ototoxin use. In addition, data on the type of statin used, its dose intensity were collected when applicable. Multivariable analysis of change in CG (primary outcome) was performed using logistic regression with generalized estimating equations. Results: A total of 367 patients were included in this study, of which 87 were using statins and 280 were not using statins concurrently during cisplatin treatment. Median age of study population was 63 and there was a male predominance (67%). Change in CG did not differ between statin users and non-statin users (p = 0.36). In the multivariable analysis, adjusting for statin use and age, hearing loss was predicted by cisplatin dose (OR 1.19 per 100mg; 1.09-1.30; p < 0.001) and use of radiation therapy (OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.34-3.10, p < 0.001). Statin intensity did not have a significant effect on the change in CG when evaluating low-intensity (p = 0.34), moderate intensity (p = 0.77) or high-intensity (p = 0.44) compared to no statin use. Type of statin use and concurrent use of ototoxins also did not have a significant impact on the changes in CG. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is one of the largest retrospective analyses of statin’s impact on cisplatin related hearing loss. Our study found no difference in changes in CG hearing loss between statin users vs non-statin users. As expected, total cisplatin dose (mg) and concurrent radiation treatment remain important predictors of hearing loss.

420 Background: Oral Mucositis related pain is one of the most common radiation therapy (RT) related toxicities associated with the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC). Questionnaire-based assessment of mucositis pain is based on a patient's recall which can be inaccurate sometimes. Therefore, real-time monitoring of patient-reported pain is required for better evaluation of mucositis pain. Methods: We performed a single-arm, observational study (NCT02727062) to investigate the feasibility of a smartphone-based pain app (OMP) in assessing mucositis pain in locally advanced HNC patients(pts) undergoing a course of definitive or adjuvant RT (> 50 Gy), +/- chemotherapy, for oral cavity or oropharynx cancer. The app prompted pts to input pain severity scores using a visual analog (0-10) scale (VAS) at multiple time points during a day throughout the study. OMP software-generated time-weighted average weekly summary measure of pain by integrating multiple serial daily pain assessments. In addition, pts completed weekly Brief pain inventory (BPI) and MD Anderson head & neck symptom inventory (MDASI-HN) questionnaires. Feasibility surveys were also collected to assess the ease of use of OMP and the burden of study participation. Responses to questions on this survey were scored on a scale of 0-3, with 0 standing for not at all and 3 for extremely. Linear mixed models (LMM) controlling for person random effects were used to evaluate association and quantify differences between average weekly pain (AWP) calculated by OMP and AWP recorded using VAS by BPI survey (question 5). LMM was also used to evaluate the association between AWP score from OMP and BPI pain score with MDASI-HN scores. Descriptive statistics, including averages and frequency, were used to analyze feasibility surveys. Results: We report results of 15 pts who have complete data out of 18 registered pts. Using LMM, we compared AWP score curves calculated from BPI and OMP. We observed that both curves followed a parallel trajectory. However, pain scores calculated from OMP were 0.40 units higher than BPI pain. The Bland-Altman plot also confirmed that BPI pain and OMP did not clearly agree. Additionally, AWP scores from OMP had a positive correlation with fatigue (p < 0.001), drowsiness (p < 0.001), decreased activity (p < 0.001), and interference with work (p < 0.001) related scores recorded in MDASI-HN. In terms of feasibility, most surveys indicated that it was extremely easy for subjects to enter responses and not at all difficult for them to use all features of OMP. Furthermore, study participation did not interfere with subjects’ usual activities. Conclusions: Our study showed that pain scores calculated through OMP were, on average higher than those reported by BPI. It also showed the correlation between pain and physical activity. Hence, utilization of OMP in conjunction with questionnaires may improve our understanding of the severity of mucositis-related pain. Clinical trial information: NCT02727062.

e16072 Background: The SEER 5-year overall survival rate for all stages of esophageal cancer (EC) was 25% in 2019. Definitive chemoradiation (CRT) remains the primary treatment approach for locally advanced EC in the US, however, there are data to support use of induction chemotherapy (CT) in addition to CRT, particularly in adenocarcinoma (AC) histology. The purpose of our study was to assess outcomes in EC patients treated with definitive CRT (+/- induction) to determine which prognostic factors predicted for better survival in a recent, real-world cohort of patients, including those with limited stage IV disease. Methods: This retrospective study included Stages II-IVB (AJCC 8th ed.) EC patients treated with definitive CRT (radiation dose of ≥40 Gy and at least two cycles of concurrent CT [+/- induction CT, +/- esophagectomy]) at our institution between 2008 and 2020. To analyze prognostic factors and estimate OS, univariate models (UVA) and a multivariate (MVA) Cox proportional hazards regression model including age, Stage (II, III, IVA, IVB), AC vs. SCC, esophagectomy, ECOG performance status (PS), and induction CT were performed. Results: Of the 183 patients treated with definitive CRT, 18 were stage II, 119 stage III, 21 stage IVA, and 25 stage IVB. There were 45 SCC and 138 AC patients (Table). Prognostic factors associated with prolonged OS on MVA included lower PS (p25% stage IV patients. This modern cohort also included poor PS (ECOG≥2) patients (9.2% AC and 13.6% SCC), suggesting induction CT, in addition to pre-operative CRT + surgery, may have added benefit in a real-world practice. Thus, further prospective study is needed.[Table: see text]

e16260 Background: Therapeutic inhibition of constitutive signaling mediated by mutated KRAS in PDAC remains a challenge except for modest success reported with KRAS G12C inhibition. A combinatorial strategy utilizing simultaneous MEK and autophagy inhibition holds therapeutic promise based on mechanism of action and preclinical data. We described characteristics and outcomes of patients (pts) treated with MEK-inh and HCQ at our institution. Methods: Ten KRAS-mutated advanced PDAC pts were treated with trametinib-HCQ (n = 9) or cobimetinib-HCQ (n = 1) off label due to lack of standard treatment options or toxicity concerns with cytotoxic systemic therapy. Trametinib dose was 2 mg once daily orally, Cobimetinib dose was 20 mg BID orally for 3/4 weeks cycles. HCQ was started at 200 mg BID and up-titrated weekly to 600 mg BID. Description of baseline and treatment (tx) characteristics, safety and efficacy is provided. Results: Median age at diagnosis was 61.3 years, and 7 pts were female. The number of prior lines of tx were 0/1/2/3/4 in 3/2/1/2/2 pts, respectively. KRAS mutations were: G12R/G12D/G12V/Q61H in 6/2/1/1 pts. Median overall survival was 6.6 months (m) in all pts, and 6.6/1.7 m in KRAS G12R/other KRAS (p = 0.31). Median progression-free survival was 5.7/6.2/1.5 m in all/ KRAS G12R/other KRAS (p = 0.16). Among 8 pts with evaluable response, 1 (12%) had partial response ( KRAS G12R) and 4 (50%) stable disease (3/4 KRAS G12R) as best response with disease control rate of 63%/80%/33% in total/ KRAS G12R/other KRAS (p = 0.29). Toxicity data are summarized in table 1. Conclusions: MEK-inh-HCQ demonstrated modest efficacy and manageable toxicities among KRAS G12R PDAC pts. Unlike G12D and G12V mutations in the KRAS gene, G12R is defective of conductive interactions for both PI3Ka and NF1. This ultimately results in a weakened signal being shunted through MAPK cascade and provides a unique opportunity where MEK inh can ablate signaling without the alternate pathways and WT-RAS isoforms compensating. Furthermore, as activation of PI3Ka is known to suppress autophagy, its lack of activation by KRAS G12R further sensitizes cells to HCQ. The combination therapy MEK-inh-HCQ is therefore mechanistically-rationale and warrants the further investigation of KRAS G12R as an actionable biomarker.[Table: see text]

191 Background: Somatic alterations in KRAS and BRAF have prognostic as well as predictive impact in pts with mCRC; however, the differential impact of various somatic alterations in these genes need further characterization. We analyzed the prognostic impact of specific somatic mutations in K RAS and BRAF in mCRC pts. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of pts with mCRC at our institution who underwent comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) utilizing the Foundation One assay. Prevalence of genetic alterations was estimated using proportions and compared between groups using a chi-squared test. Patients were followed for survival from metastatic diagnosis until death or last follow-up, with left truncation at the time of CGP. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to estimate overall survival, and groups were compared using a Cox-regression based likelihood ratio test. Results: 192 pts were identified - median age at diagnosis was 55 years, 62% (119/192) presented with metachronous metastatic disease, and 28% (54/192) had a rectal primary. Somatic mutations in KRAS were found in 49% (95/192) pts, and 53% (50/95) had a left sided primary (p = 0.3). Majority of the KRAS mutations localized to codon 12 (72/95 -76%), KRAS G12C comprised 12% (11/95). Median Overall Survival (mOS) of KRAS mutated pts was 3.0 years compared to 3.5 years for KRAS wild type (WT) pts (p = 0.5). Median OS of pts with different KRAS mutations were as follows: codon 12 mutations (excluding G12C) - 2.7 years; KRAS G12C – 5.2 years; non-codon 12 KRAS mutations - 4.8 years. BRAF mutations were identified in 7.8% (15/192) pts, and 67% (10/15) had a right sided primary (p = 0.062). BRAF V600E represented the most common alteration in BRAF – 87% (13/15). Patients with BRAF mutation had a mOS of 1.8 years compared to 3.1 years for BRAF WT pts (p = 0.2). Median OS of pts with different BRAF mutations were as follows: BRAF V600E – 1.8 years and BRAF non V600E - 2.1 years (p = 0.4). Conclusions: The numerically higher mOS in pts with KRAS G12C and non-codon 12 KRAS mutations merit further biologic characterization with functional assays. Individualized therapeutic strategies must be conceptualized for mCRC pts with specific RAS/BRAF mutations, considering their widely disparate prognosis and putative downstream signaling mechanisms. Dynamic molecular simulation to understand conformational changes in proteins associated with specific mutations will be pivotal to optimizing precision therapeutic strategies.

656 Background: Non-neutropenic enterocolitis (NNEC), a potentially fatal toxicity of capecitabine (CAPE), is under-reported in the literature. An institutional review was performed to determine the incidence, clinical course, and outcome of patients developing CAPE-induced NNEC. Methods: After the institutional review board approval, a database search identified patients requiring inpatient care for CAPE-induced diarrhea over a period of 6 years (between 01/2015 and 12/2020). Among the patients requiring hospital admission, patients with radiologic features of enterocolitis were included in the analysis. Data on patient characteristics, imaging study results, clinical course, and outcomes were gathered by electronic chart review. Results: Among the 789 patients treated with CAPE, 25 patients (3%) developed grade 3 or higher diarrhea requiring hospital admission, and 13 out of these 25 patients (1.6 % of patients treated with CAPE) had evidence of enterocolitis on CT scan: ileitis in 7/13 (54%), colitis in 1/13 (8%), and both in 5/13 (38%) patients. The median age of the patient cohort was 64 years (range, 31-81), 8/13 (62%) were female, and all patients were Caucasian. CAPE was administered for the following indications: breast cancer in 6 patients, colorectal cancer in 4 patients, cholangiocarcinoma in 2 patients, and neuroendocrine tumor in 1 patient. ECOG performance status at the time of CAPE initiation was 0 in 7 patients and 1 in 6 patients. Most patients (7/13, 54%) received single-agent CAPE, and the majority (10/13, 77%) developed diarrhea with the first cycle after a median of 21 days (range, 10-50). Patients were hospitalized after a median of 27 days (range, 13-51), and the median hospital stay was 12 days (range, 4-25). None of the 13 patients demonstrated neutropenia at the time of hospital admission. The associated adverse effects at the time of admission included grade 3 abdominal pain in 8 (62%) patients, grade 3 nausea in 7 (54%) patients, and grade 3 vomiting in 3 (23%) patients. Hypokalemia and oral mucositis were present at admission in 6 (46%) and 2 (15%) patients, respectively. Stool studies performed in 11 (85%) patients ruled out infection. Testing for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency performed in 4 (31%) patients was negative. All patients were treated with supportive measures, and 2 (15%) patients required total parenteral nutrition. All but 1 patient recovered fully; 1 patient died due to a condition unrelated to CAPE. Intravenous infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administration in 3 patients after the recovery was tolerated well. Conclusions: CAPE-induced NNEC is uncommon and generally occurs after the first cycle of therapy. Most patients developing CAPE-induced NNEC recover fully with appropriate supportive measures. Infusional 5-FU-based regimens appear to be safe in this patient group.

596 Background: Genomic alterations (GA) that drive cancer development and predict therapeutic response remain elusive in patients (pts) with KRAS WT PDAC. We interrogated our institutional database to identify actionable GAs in pts with metastatic, KRAS WT PDAC and analyzed the therapeutic impact of matched TT. Methods: We reviewed electronic medical records of KRAS WT PDAC pts (n=24) who underwent comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) utilizing Foundation One CDx (25.0%) or Tempus (75.0%) between 2015-2021. Duration of response (DOR) was calculated from date of treatment (Tx) initiation to Tx discontinuation. Overall survival (OS) was measured from the date of the diagnosis (Dx) of advanced disease (AD) to death or last follow-up. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with at-risk periods left-truncated at the time of CGP. The effect of covariates on survival was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Of the 24 KRAS WT pts, 14 (58%) had AD: 8 (57%) pts had metastatic disease at or shortly after Dx, 6 (43%) pts developed metachronous recurrence. Median age at Dx for pts with AD was 65, and 57% were female. Seven of 14 pts with AD (50%) had highly actionable GA (HAGA), (Table). Pts with HAGA demonstrated durable responses to TT (Table) with manageable toxicities. Pts with HAGA had a median OS of 28 mo compared to 5.9 mo for those without (Hazard Ratio = 0.47, p = 0.33). Conclusions: The sustained therapeutic benefit noted with TT matched to HAGA in pts with KRAS WT PDAC underscores the need for systematic interrogation of the somatic genome in PDAC pts. Optimal sequencing of cytotoxic therapy with TT and its impact on modulating clonal selection pressure in pts with KRAS WT PDAC merits prospective evaluation.[Table: see text]

44 Background: Despite an alarming rise in incidence, data on survival outcome and treatment response of young-onset (age < 50 years) locally advanced rectal cancer (YO-LARC) patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) are sparse. We retrospectively compared the outcome between YO-LARC and later-onset (aged 50 years or older) LARC (LO-LARC) patients treated with TNT. Methods: After the institutional review board approval, electronic medical records of the LARC (T3/T4 or node-positive) patients treated with TNT at a tertiary care cancer center between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2020, were reviewed for data collection. TNT consisted of systemic chemotherapy with oxaliplatin-based regimens for 16 weeks followed by long-course radiation with concurrent capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (CRT). Patients receiving only preoperative CRT were excluded. Most patients underwent surgical resection following the TNT. Non-operative management was offered to patients if TNT resulted in clinical complete response (cCR). The following comparisons between the YO-LARC and the LO-LARC patients were performed: patient characteristics, pathological complete response (pCR) rate, combined pCR + cCR rate, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 72 patients included in the analysis, 44(61%) were male, 49 (68%) were Caucasian, and 62 (86%) had clinical stage III disease. The study included 26 (36%) patients with YO-LARC (median age, 43 years) and 46 (64%) patients with LO-LARC (median age, 64 years). The comparison of patient characteristics that included gender, clinical stage, baseline carcinoembryonic antigen level, the distance of the tumor from the anal verge, presence of high-risk features, and histologic grade did not differ significantly between the groups. There were no statistically significant differences in pCR and combined pCR+cCR rates (p = 0.16) between the groups: YO-LARC, 12 % (3/26) and 15 % (4/26), respectively; LO-LARC, 22% (10/46) and 30% (14/46), respectively. Either group did not reach median DFS and OS after a median follow-up of 38 months for survivors. The estimated 5-year OS rates in patients with YO-LARC and LO-LARC were 86 % (95% confidence interval [CI], 69% to 100%) and 84% (95% CI, 68% to 100%), respectively (p = 0.92). The estimated 3-year DFS rates in patients with YO-LARC and LO-LARC were 67 % (95% CI, 50% to 89%) and 83% (95% CI, 72% to 95%), respectively (p = 0.19). Conclusions: The current retrospective analysis did not demonstrate significant differences in the pCR rates, combined pCR +cCR rates, DFS, or OS between the YO-LARC and LO-LARC patients treated with TNT.

474 Background: FLO is a rare variant of liver cancer that disproportionately affects young adults and is frequently progressive and fatal as it is often detected in a clinically advanced stage. It is seldom associated with cirrhosis of liver, viral hepatitis or other risk factors associated with conventional HCC. Treatment options are largely limited to surgical resection, and there is dearth of effective targeted therapies for FLO. Methods: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was performed using the Foundation Medicine Inc. (FMI) data base on 63 FLO and 1,793 HCC clinically advanced cases between 6/2013-12/2020 using a hybrid capture-based assay of up to 324 genes a to detect genomic alterations (GA), tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI). PD-L1 expression in tumor cells (Dako 22C3) was measured by IHC and scored using the tumor proportion score (TPS) method. Results: The FLO patients (pts) were significantly younger than HCC pts (median age 20 vs. 64, respectively) and the male preponderance was similar. The HCC group featured significantly more GA/tumor than FLO group (3.74 vs 1.31 p 10 mutations/Mb. PD-L1 expression was relatively low in both groups. GA in genes associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) drug response like PBRM1, CD274, MDM2, STK11 were rarely identified in both groups. Additional details are illustrated in the table. Conclusions: Comparison of CGP of FLO with HCC illustrates the multifarious nature of these cancers. In HCC, there is a high prevalence of GA in TERT, CTNNB1 and TP53. CGP identified certain targetable GA in the MTOR and DDR pathways and TMB was higher in HCC. These findings warrant further evaluation of clinically advanced FLO and HCC pts by CGP to identify possible targetable genomic pathways. [Table: see text]

359 Background: When esophageal cancer (EC) is metastatic at diagnosis, prognosis is poor, with 5-year survival of ̃5%. NCCN guidelines recommend palliative treatment or best supportive care. However, guidelines do not stratify by the extent of metastatic disease. Oligometastatic (oligo) disease has been shown in some cancers to portend better survival and more aggressive treatment options may be appropriate. Preliminary data has shown this may be the case for oligo EC, however, consensus recommendations remain palliative in intent. This study aims to compare overall survival (OS) in oligo EC patients treated with a definitive approach (chemoradiotherapy [CRT]) to those treated with purely palliative intent. Methods: Patients with oligo (any histology, ≤5 metastatic foci) EC treated in a single academic hospital between 2009-2020 were retrospectively analyzed in 2021. Patients were divided into definitive and palliative treatment groups; definitive CRT was defined as radiation therapy >40 Gy and >2 cycles of chemotherapy (CT) (+/- induction CT). OS was calculated by measuring the time from the date of diagnosis to the date of death or last follow-up. Survival curves between groups and by various prognostic factors were compared using the log rank test. Results: Of 77 Stage IVB patients, 35 met the pre-specified oligo definition. Of these, 18 received definitive CRT, and 17 palliative treatment (Table). With a median follow-up of 60.8 months, median OS for definitive CRT and palliative groups were 91.4 and 8.2 months, (p lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (p
