Introduction: Oncotype DX (ODX) Recurrence Score (RS) is a gene-expression assay that provides prognostic and predictive information in hormonal-receptor positive (HR +), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-), axilary lymph node negative (LN-) disease. It estimates the 10 year-risk of distant recurrence and it is recommended to asses this issue and the potential benefit of adjuvant systemic therapy in early stage breast cancer (ESBC). (JCO 2016, NCCN 2019). Objective: To evaluate the impact of RS on our adjuvant treatment decision making and follow-up (FU). Materials and methods: Observational, prospective single institution study. Eligible patients (pts) were diagnosed between September 2012 and December 2018 with HR+, HER2 -, N0 and N+ (N1mic) ESBC for who underwent ODX assay. Criteria for ordered ODX assay were established by the group of experts from the Basque Country Health System. Treatment recommendations were documented before and after the conventional RS results. We reviewed clinical and pathology reports for FU and events. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient and tumor characteristics and changes in oncologists’ treatment recommendations. Mc Nemar’s test was used to identify how these tests impact in decisión. Results: N=337 pts. Median age was 57 years (SD 9,11); women 328 pts (97%); premenopausical 114 (34%); conservative surgery 271 pts (80%); sentinel node 318 pts (94 %); pN0: 248 pts (74%), pN1mic: 89 (26%); tumor size: pT1a-b: 41 pts (12 %), pT1c: 234 pts (69%) and pT2: 62 pts (18%); histologic type: ductal 280 pts (83%); histological grade: G1 49 pts (16%), G2 250 pts (74 %), G3 34 pts (10%); Ki 67 index >=13: 221 pts (66 %); progesterone receptors: positives: 304 pts (90%); presence of lymphovascular invasión:36 pts (11%). Treatment decision before assay was hormonal therapy (HT) in 242 pts (72 %) and chemotherapy (CT) in 95 pts (28 %). Conventional RS were: low risk RS30 (HR): 22 pts (7%). TAILORx RS cutpoints were: LR RS 25: 52 pts (15%). Post-assay treatment: 278 pts (82.5%) received HT and 59 pts (17.5 %) CT. Treatment recomendation pre and post ODX assay changed in 17,5% of pts: in 10,5% from CT to HT and 7% from HT to CT. The McNemar's test was significant value (0.000). With a median FU of 35 months (range 1-77) there were 5 events: (1.5%): 1 local (0.3%) and 4 distant (1.2%). Conclusions: In our cohort, the 82.5% of pts received HT. The treatment decisión changed 17.5% of pts. The ODX avoided CT in 10.5% of 38 pts (28% pre and 17.5% post). At this time, insufficient median FU and number of events are available to examine long-term prognosis and CT benefit.

The combination of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) plus Gemcitabine (GEM) has been previously investigated in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). PLD is a doxorubicin formulation with prolonged circulation time and better tissue distribution. GEM is a nucleoside analog with nonoverlapping toxicity compared to PLD. The aim of our study was to assess efficacy, toxicity, and long-term outcome of this combination. Patients with heavily treated MBC were retrospectively analyzed. Chemotherapy consisted of PLD 25 mg/m2 and GEM 800 mg/m2 day 1, on a three-week schedule. Cardiac function was evaluated baseline and during treatment. Radiological response was graded according to RECIST criteria v1.1. Toxicity was scored according to CTCAE v4.0. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. From 2001 to 2014, 122 pts were included. Median age was 55 (range: 28-84). Median previous treatment schedules in the metastatic scenario were 3 (range: 1-15). Most patients received prior anthracyclines (85%). Median number of metastatic sites was 2 (range: 1-7). Median number of cycles delivered was 5 (range: 1-36). Overall response rate was 31% (5% complete responses; 26% partial responses). Stable and progressive diseases were observed in 32% and 26% of patients. Grade ≥3 neutropenia was observed in 29 patients (24%). Grade ≥3 hand-foot syndrome was detected in 17 patients (14%), mostly since cycle 3 (88%). Median cumulative PLD dose was 125 mg/m2 . At a median follow-up of 101 months, median PFS and OS were 7 and 22 months, respectively. PLD-GEM combination achieves remarkable long-term outcomes with an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with MBC.

Background: The degree of histopathological response after neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) is a key determinant of patients' long-term outcome. We aimed to assess the pattern of histopathological regression after two neoadjuvant approaches and its impact on survival times. Methods: Regression grade of the primary tumour (Becker criteria) and the degree of nodal response by a 4-point scale (grades A–D) were assessed. Grade A—true negative lymph nodes (LNs); grade B and C—infiltrated LNs with any or little evidence of nodal response; and grade D—complete pathological response in a previously infiltrated LN. A favourable pathological response was defined as Becker Ia–b and grade D. Results: From 2004 to 2014, 80 patients with GC (cT3–4/N+ by CT-scan/EUS) were treated with either preoperative chemotherapy (ChT, n=34) or chemoradiation (CRT, n=46). Patients in the CRT group had a higher likelihood of achieving a Becker Ia–b response (58 vs 32%, P=0.001), a grade D nodal regression (30 vs 6%, P=0.009) and a favourable pathological response (23 vs 3% P=0.019). Patients with a grade D nodal response had a longer 5-year PFS and OS compared with those with a grade B or C response. Patients with a baseline negative LN status had similar outcomes irrespective of the preoperative therapy received (5-year OS; ChT vs CRT, 58 vs 51%, P=0.92). Conclusions: Preoperative chemoradiation increases the likelihood of achieving favourable histopathological features that correlate with a 5-year OS>70% in GC patients.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the long-term results of a 7-week schedule of external beam radiation therapy, high dose rate brachytherapy, and weekly cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix.MethodsThirty-seven patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages IB2 to IVa cervical cancer were treated with 40 mg/m2 per week of intravenous cisplatin and 50 mg/m2 per week of intravenous paclitaxel combined with 45 Gy of pelvic external beam radiation therapy and 28 to 30 Gy of high dose rate brachytherapy.ResultsSixteen patients (43.2%) were able to complete the 6 scheduled cycles of chemotherapy. The median number of weekly chemotherapy cycles administered was 5. Thirty-six (16.2%) of 222 cycles of chemotherapy were not given because of toxicity. The mean dose intensity of cisplatin was 29.6 mg/m2 per week (95% confidence interval, 27.0–32.1); that of paclitaxel was 40.0 mg/m2 per week (95% confidence interval, 36.9–43.1). Thirty-four patients (91.8%) completed the planned radiation course in less than 7 weeks. Median radiation treatment length was 43 days. After a median follow-up of 6 years, 7 patients (18.9%) experienced severe (RTOG grade 3 or higher) late toxicity. No fatal events were observed. Ten patients have failed, 1 locally and 9 at distant sites. The 14-year locoregional control rate was 96.7%, and the 14-year freedom from systemic failure rate was 64.6%. Fourteen-year actuarial disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 44.8% and 50%, respectively.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates excellent very long-term results and tolerable toxicity although the target weekly dosage of cisplatin and paclitaxel needs to be adjusted in the majority of the patients.

Lung cancer is the most frequent neoplasm in humans. Surgery is considered the best therapeutic approach for stage I non-small lung cell cancer (NSCLC). However, a remarkable amount of patients are considered as inoperable. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has risen as an option for those patients, rendering excellent results in quality of life and survival. We analyzed clinical studies published between 2002 and 2015 which included SBRT as a treatment modality. Our own clinical series was analyzed as well. The patterns of failure following SBRT were investigated, together with the outcomes and the toxicity observed. SBRT has proven to maintain an excellent local control. The analysis showed the tumor size and the histology as determinant factors for the response to treatment. According to the published evidence as well as our own experience, SBRT is a safe and feasible approach for early NSCLC. Its results may be comparable with surgery treatment.

Aim: We previously reported the prognostic impact of Id1 in all NSCLC stages and of the combined Id1/Id3 expression in stage III-N2 patients undergoing radical chemo-radiotherapy. Further, we found that Id1 expression in the tumor microenvironment is crucial for the development of liver metastasis from lung cancer in an in-vivo model. In other neoplasms, Id genes are considered to be regulators of EMT-facilitated metastasis. Here we study Id1 and Id3 combined expression in a large NSCLC cohort and its correlation with EMTrp and overall survival (OS). Methods: Three tissue microarrays of 538 NSCLCs including 284 squamous-cell carcinomas (SCC) and 254 adenocarcinomas (AC) were stained by immunohistochemistry using the following antibodies: Sox10, Beta-catenin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, Slug, Podoplanin, S6, ERCC1, Id1 and Id3. Immunoreactivity was H-scored for intensity (range 0 to 3) multiplied by percentage of positive cells and computed by Spearman's Rho correlation test. Results: Among SCC histology a significant positive correlation was observed between the combined expression of Id1 and Id3 and the expression of Sox10, Beta-catenin, E-Cadherin, Slug, Podoplanin and ERCC1. In the AC subset, significant positive correlations were found between Id1/Id3 and Beta-catenin, E-Cadherin, Vimentin, pS6, and ERCC1. As expected, Id1/Id3 expression showed a negative correlation with OS (r= -0.157; p=0.013). Protein SCC AC (n.s; not significant) r p value r p value Sox10 0.146 0.018 n.s. n.s.

Aim: Multimodal therapy is the standard of care in locally advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. However, most trials include both, gastric (GC) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. We aimed to rule out whether patients (pts) with either locally advanced GEJ (group A) or GC (group B) have different outcomes when treated with a neoadjuvant approach based on induction chemotherapy (ICT), chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and surgery. Methods: EUS-T2-4 and/or N+ M0 GEJ or GC adenocarcinoma patients were scheduled to receive preoperative therapy (3-4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by concurrent CRT). Surgery was scheduled 4 to 6 weeks after the end of CRT. Pathological response was graded according to the Becker criteria. Patterns of recurrence, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were also evaluated. Results: From november 2004 to July 2013, 87 pts (27 in group A, 60 in group B) met the specified criteria. Pts characteristics were; Group A; M/F; 23/4; EUS-T3 52%, T4 40,7%, N+ 95%, median age 56 (31-81); Diffuse/Intestinal 55%/44%. Group B; M/F; 42/18; EUS-T3 40%, T4 56%, N+ 95%; median age 60.5 (36-76); Diffuse/Intestinal 57%/42%. Seventy-four pts underwent surgery (group A/ B; 92.6%/82%). Pathological response (Group A/B); Grade Ia-Ib according to Becker criteria (72%/51%), pN0 (60.3%/53%). R0 resection (Group A/B); (96%/94%). Among resected pts we analysed the impact of tumor location (GC vs GEJ) on known prognostic factors such as Lauren classification and degree of pathological response regarding PFS and OS. In group A, median OS and PFS did not difer according to Lauren neither classification nor pN status. In contrast, median PFS varied according to Becker response (Ia-b: Not Reached; II-III: 13m; p = 0.02). In group B, we found differences in PFS and OS according to; a)- Lauren Classification; Intestinal GC vs Diffuse GC pts [median PFS; NR vs 13.6m; p = 0.028, median OS: NR vs 15.3m; p = 0.026]. b)pN status (-/+) [median PFS; NR vs 18m; p Conclusions: When treated with ICT followed by CRT, GEJ and GC pts have different outcomes in terms of pathological response degree, patterns of recurrence and survival times.
