Abstract
Currently, more and more patients receive first-line treatment with immunotherapy combinations and not all patients respond in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. After IO-IO progression, we don’t have a standard of treatment because it is not available prospective data on this setting. We present the case of a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who suffered hyperprogression with IO-IO combination in first line. Second line with cabozantinib results in a deep response of the disease. We performed a Foundation One testing to the patient which showed a mutation in NOTCH. The molecular mechanism to explain patient’s response, it’s the probably crosstalk between MET and NOTCH pathway. Nowadays, there is not clear the subsequent treatment in those patients who progress to IO-IO first line. More efforts in biomarkers development should be made to better selection of patients treatment along the disease.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer stem cells (PaCSCs) drive pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis, chemoresistance and metastasis. While eliminating this subpopulation of cells would theoretically result in tumor eradication, PaCSCs are extremely plastic and can successfully adapt to targeted therapies. In this study, we demonstrate that PaCSCs increase expression of interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) and protein ISGylation, which are essential for maintaining their metabolic plasticity. CRISPR-mediated ISG15 genomic editing reduces overall ISGylation, impairing PaCSCs self-renewal and their in vivo tumorigenic capacity. At the molecular level, ISG15 loss results in decreased mitochondrial ISGylation concomitant with increased accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, reduced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and impaired mitophagy. Importantly, disruption in mitochondrial metabolism affects PaCSC metabolic plasticity, making them susceptible to prolonged inhibition with metformin in vivo. Thus, ISGylation is critical for optimal and efficient OXPHOS by ensuring the recycling of dysfunctional mitochondria, and when absent, a dysregulation in mitophagy occurs that negatively impacts PaCSC stemness. The ubiquitin-like modifier ISG15 exerts post-translational protein regulation through ISGylation. Here, the authors show that ISGylation is necessary for pancreatic cancer stem cell self-renewal and tumourigenesis by supporting the recycling of non-functional mitochondria.

Abstract
4017 Background: Biological agents, in combination with chemotherapy, are recommended as first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC); however, evidence guiding appropriate management of elderly patients with mCRC is lacking. This study compared the efficacy and safety outcomes in older versus younger patients with mCRC who received first-line biological therapy. Methods: This retrospective analysis used pooled data from five Spanish TTD collaborative group studies of adults with advanced CRC who received first-line treatment with bevacizumab, cetuximab or panitumumab, stratified by age (≥65 vs < 65 years). Endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) and safety. Results: In total, 999 patients from five studies were included in the analysis; 480 (48%) were aged ≥65 years and 519 (52%) were aged < 65 years; 733 (73.37%) were treated with bevacizumab, 189 (18.92%) received cetuximab and 77 (7.71%) received panitumumab. Median PFS did not significantly differ between patients aged ≥65 versus < 65 years (9.9 vs 9.4 months; hazard ratio [HR] 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88–1.17). Median OS was significantly shorter in older versus younger patients (21.3 vs 25.0 months; HR 1.21; 95% CI 1.04–1.41; P = 0.0132). There was no significant difference between older versus younger patients in ORR (59% vs 62%). Older patients experienced more treatment-related grade ≥3 adverse events. Conclusions: Biological agents are an effective first-line treatment option for elderly patients with mCRC, with comparable efficacy in PFS and ORR to that observed in younger patients and a manageable safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 5-year survival rate of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is around 5% due to the fact that the majority of patients present with advanced disease that is treatment resistant. Familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) is a rare disorder that is defined as a family with at least two affected first degree relatives, with an estimated incidence of 4%-10%. The genetic basis is unknown in the majority of families although around 10%-13% of families carry germline mutations in known genes associated with hereditary cancer and pancreatitis syndromes. METHODS Panel sequencing was performed of 35 genes associated with hereditary cancer in 43 PDAC cases from families with an apparent hereditary pancreatic cancer syndrome. FINDINGS Pathogenic variants were identified in 19% (5/26) of PDAC cases from pure FPC families in the genes MLH1, CDKN2A, POLQ and FANCM. Low frequency potentially pathogenic VUS were also identified in 35% (9/26) of PDAC cases from FPC families in the genes FANCC, MLH1, PMS2, CFTR, APC and MUTYH. Furthermore, an important proportion of PDAC cases harboured more than one pathogenic, likely pathogenic or potentially pathogenic VUS, highlighting the multigene phenotype of FPC. INTERPRETATION The genetic basis of familial or hereditary pancreatic cancer can be explained in 21% of families by previously described hereditary cancer genes. Low frequency variants in other DNA repair genes are also present in 35% of families which may contribute to the risk of pancreatic cancer development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite smoking being a well-established risk factor for pancreatic cancer, there is a need to further characterize pancreatic cancer risk according to lifespan smoking patterns and other smoking features, such as tobacco type. Our aim was to deeply investigate them within a large European case-control study. METHODS Tobacco smoking habits and other relevant information were obtained from 2,009 cases and 1,532 controls recruited in the PanGenEU study using standardized tools. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate pancreatic cancer risk by smoking characteristics and interactions with other pancreatic cancer risk factors. Fractional polynomials and restricted cubic splines were used to test for nonlinearity of the dose-response relationships and to analyze their shape. RESULTS Relative to never-smokers, current smokers [OR = 1.72; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.39-2.12], those inhaling into the throat (OR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.11-1.99) or chest (OR = 1.33; 95% CI, 1.12-1.58), and those using nonfiltered cigarettes (OR = 1.69; 95% CI, 1.10-2.61), were all at an increased pancreatic cancer risk. Pancreatic cancer risk was highest in current black tobacco smokers (OR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.31-3.41), followed by blond tobacco smokers (OR = 1.43; 95% CI, 1.01-2.04). Childhood exposure to tobacco smoke relative to parental smoking was also associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk (OR = 1.24; 95% CI, 1.03-1.49). Dose-response relationships for smoking duration, intensity, cumulative dose, and smoking cessation were nonlinear and showed different shapes by tobacco type. Effect modification by family history of pancreatic cancer and diabetes was likely. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals differences in pancreatic cancer risk by tobacco type and other habit characteristics, as well as nonlinear risk associations. IMPACT This characterization of smoking-related pancreatic cancer risk profiles may help in defining pancreatic cancer high-risk populations.

IARC noted, however, an increased risk of bladder cancer (based on limited evidence). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between quantitative, lifetime occupational diesel exhaust exposure and risk of urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder (UBC) overall and according to pathological subtypes. METHODS Data from personal interviews with 1944 UBC cases, as well as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue blocks, and 2135 controls were pooled from two case-control studies conducted in the U.S. and Spain. Lifetime occupational histories combined with exposure-oriented questions were used to estimate cumulative exposure to respirable elemental carbon (REC), a primary surrogate for diesel exhaust. Unconditional logistic regression and two-stage polytomous logistic regression were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for smoking and other risk factors. RESULTS Exposure to cumulative REC was associated with an increased risk of UBC; workers with cumulative REC >396 μg/m3-years had an OR of 1.61 (95% CI, 1.08-2.40). At this level of cumulative exposure, similar results were observed in the U.S. and Spain, OR = 1.75 (95% CI, 0.97-3.15) and OR = 1.54 (95% CI, 0.89-2.68), respectively. In lagged analysis, we also observed a consistent increased risk among workers with cumulative REC >396 μg/m3-years (range of ORs = 1.52-1.93) for all lag intervals evaluated (5-40 years). When we accounted for tumor subtypes defined by stage and grade, a significant association between diesel exhaust exposure and UBC was apparent (global test for association p = 0.0019). CONCLUSIONS Combining data from two large epidemiologic studies, our results provide further evidence that diesel exhaust exposure increases the risk of UBC.

Abstract
Purpose The primary aim of this retrospective study was to describe the treatment patterns according to the type of treatment received by patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in Spain. Methods This was a retrospective, observational, multicenter study performed by 33 sites throughout Spain that included consecutive patients aged 18 years or older who had received or were receiving treatment for mCRC. Results At the time of inclusion, of the 873 evaluable patients, 507 (58%) had received two lines, 235 (27%) had received three lines, 106 (12%) had received four lines, and the remaining patients had received up to ten lines. The most frequent chemotherapy schemes were the FOLFOX or CAPOX regimens (66%) for first-line treatment, FOLFOX, CAPOX or FOLFIRI (70%) for second-line treatment, and FOLFOX, FOLFIRI or other fluoropyrimidine-based regimens for third- and fourth-line (over 60%) treatment. Sixty percent of patients received targeted therapy as part of their first-line treatment, and this proportion increased up to approximately 70% of patients as part of the second-line of treatment. A relevant proportion of patients were treated with unknown KRAS, and especially the BRAF, mutation statuses. Conclusions This study reveals inconsistencies regarding adherence to the recommendations of the ESMO guidelines for the management of mCRC in Spain. Improved adherence to the standard practice described in such guidelines for the determination of RAS and BRAF mutation statuses and the use of targeted therapies in first-line treatment should be considered to guarantee that patients can benefit from the best therapeutic approaches available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The International Cancer of the Pancreas Screening Consortium met in 2018 to update its consensus recommendations for the management of individuals with increased risk of pancreatic cancer based on family history or germline mutation status (high-risk individuals). METHODS A modified Delphi approach was employed to reach consensus among a multidisciplinary group of experts who voted on consensus statements. Consensus was considered reached if ≥75% agreed or disagreed. RESULTS Consensus was reached on 55 statements. The main goals of surveillance (to identify high-grade dysplastic precursor lesions and T1N0M0 pancreatic cancer) remained unchanged. Experts agreed that for those with familial risk, surveillance should start no earlier than age 50 or 10 years earlier than the youngest relative with pancreatic cancer, but were split on whether to start at age 50 or 55. Germline ATM mutation carriers with one affected first-degree relative are now considered eligible for surveillance. Experts agreed that preferred surveillance tests are endoscopic ultrasound and MRI/magnetic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, but no consensus was reached on how to alternate these modalities. Annual surveillance is recommended in the absence of concerning lesions. Main areas of disagreement included if and how surveillance should be performed for hereditary pancreatitis, and the management of indeterminate lesions. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic surveillance is recommended for selected high-risk individuals to detect early pancreatic cancer and its high-grade precursors, but should be performed in a research setting by multidisciplinary teams in centres with appropriate expertise. Until more evidence supporting these recommendations is available, the benefits, risks and costs of surveillance of pancreatic surveillance need additional evaluation.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a three-dimensional scaffold that acts as the main support for cells in tissues. Besides its structural function, the ECM also participates in cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Fibroblasts are the main type of cells modifying ECM fiber arrangement and production. In cancer, CAFs (cancer associated fibroblasts) are in permanent activation status, participating in ECM remodeling, facilitating tumor cell migration, and stimulating tumor-associated angiogenesis, among other pro-tumorigenic roles. The objective of this method is to create a three-dimensional matrix with a fiber composition that is similar to in vivo matrices, using immortalized fibroblasts or human primary CAFs. Fibroblasts are cultured in pre-treated cell culture plates and grown under ascorbic acid stimulation. Then, fibroblasts are removed and matrices are blocked for further cell seeding. In this ECM model, fibroblasts can be activated or modified to generate different kinds of matrix, whose effects can be studied in cell culture. 3D matrices are also shaped by cell signals, like degradation or cross-linking enzymes that might modify fiber distribution. In this context, angiogenesis can be studied, along with other cell types such as epithelial tumor cells.

Abstract
Purpose Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a group of distinct diseases, with clinical and molecular differences between right-sided and left-sided tumours driving varying prognosis. Methods Patients with KRAS/RAS-wild type (wt) mCRC treated in first line with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFR-Is) (cetuximab or panitumumab) plus oxaliplatin or irinotecan-based chemotherapy from two phase II randomised trials conducted by the Spanish Cooperative for the Treatment of Digestive Tumours group were included in this retrospective study. The main objective was to analyse the prognostic effect of primary tumour location on objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Patients with KRAS-wt right-sided tumours (n=52) had significantly lower efficacy as compared with patients with KRAS-wt left-sided tumours (n=209); confirmed ORR (25% vs 47%, respectively; OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.8, p=0.004); and shorter median PFS (7.2 vs 9.9 months; HR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9, p=0.0157) and OS (13.6 vs 27.7 months; HR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3 to 0.7, p<0.0001). Similar results were observed in the RAS-wt populations. The further classification of left-sided tumours as colon or rectum delivered similar survival outcomes, as well as a tendency to diminished ORR in patients with rectum tumours. Conclusion We observed significantly improved efficacy outcomes in patients with KRAS/RAS-wt mCRC treated with first-line EGFR-I plus chemotherapy in left-sided primary tumours as compared with right-sided primary tumours. Trial registration numbers NCT01161316 and NCT00885885.

Abstract
Despite being infrequent tumors, the incidence and prevalence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (P-NETs) has been rising over the past few decades. In recent years, rigorous phase III clinical trials have been conducted, allowing the approval of several drugs that have become the standard of care in these patients. Although various treatments are used in clinical practice, including somatostatin analogues (SSAs), biological therapies like sunitinib or everolimus, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) or even chemotherapy, a consensus regarding the optimal sequence of treatment has not yet been reached. Notwithstanding, sunitinib is largely used in these patients after the promising results shown in SUN111 phase III clinical trial. However, both prompt progression as well as tumor recurrence after initial response have been reported, suggesting the existence of primary and acquired resistances to this antiangiogenic drug. In this review, we aim to summarize the most relevant mechanisms of angiogenesis resistance that are key contributors of tumor progression and dissemination. Furthermore, several targeted molecules acting selectively against these pathways have shown promising results in preclinical models, and preliminary results from ongoing clinical trials are awaited.

Abstract
11 Background: The ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Since 2015, ECO has been collaborating with ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in quality initiatives in cancer care, like the QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) program and the QOPI Certification Program (QCP). The Quality Training Program (QTP) is a 6-month course with 3 in-person learning sessions that prepares oncology teams to design, implement and lead successful quality improvement activities in their practices. In 2018, ECO reached a new agreement with ASCO to implement this program in Spain. Methods: The QTP was developed in Spain by ECO in collaboration with ASCO, following the same methodology and contents of ASCO’s program. The first session was carried out in October 2018, with 12 Spanish teams participating with diverse quality improvement projects. The program counted with ASCO and ECO faculty, constituted by experts in the quality and oncology field. Results: Each QTP Spanish team counted with 2-3 representatives from their hospitals and developed an improvement project, following the methodology of the course, including a problem statement, process map, cause and effect diagram, diagnostic data, aim statement, measures, baseline data, priority/pay-off matrix of possible changes/interventions, change data, next steps/plan for sustainability, among others. The projects were mainly focused on the waiting time reduction in the Emergency Area and from the patient’s visit to the oncologist until treatment administration, burnout reduction on oncology professionals, improvement of the identification and management of complications for cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, improvement of the uniformity in the medical records registry, among others. QTP participants presented their projects’ results on the third and last session of the program in April 2019 with positive outcomes. Conclusions: The QTP’s quality improvement approach allows Spanish teams and the ECO Foundation to enhance the goal of a quality-oriented health care system. ECO will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further initiatives like the QOPI program, the QCP and the QTP.

Abstract
Background: Major interest lies in the evaluation of immune infiltrate in bladder cancer. CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes are key effectors of adaptive immune response. Objectives: The aims of the study were to set up a standardized methodology for CD8+ lymphocytes estimation in NMIBC and investigate how intra-tumoral heterogeneity influences CD8+ immune infiltrate. Methods: We considered 995 NMIBC included in the Spanish Bladder Cancer (SBC)/EPICURO Study. Duplicate 0.6mm TMA spots and paired full sections (FS) for 50 selected cases were double stained with anti-pan cytokeratin antibody and anti-CD8 antibody. Slides were digitalized and CD8+ cells were automatically counted after tissue recognition (tumor vs stroma). Spatial heterogeneity was assessed and a resampling strategy was applied to estimate the proper number of 0.6mm TMA spots providing an adequate CD8+ cell estimate. Association between CD8+ count and expression of urothelial differentiation markers was estimated. Cox regression models were performed to assess association between CD8+ cell count and risk of recurrence and progression. Results: Microscopic examination of full sections showed spatial heterogeneity for CD8+ infiltrates. Simulation analyses demonstrated that 5 TMA regions provided a correct sampling of tumor and stromal compartments in Ta while 2 and 6 TMA regions were necessary in T1, respectively. CD8+ cells infiltration was associated with stage, regardless of the histological compartment analyzed (median CD8+ /mm2 were 25/mm2 and 129/mm2 in tumor and stroma respectively in Ta and 111/mm2 and 344/mm2 in T1; p-value = 0.006). CD8+ infiltration in tumor compartment was significantly associated with low FGFR3 expression. CD8+/mm2 count in the tumor compartment was not associated with prognosis. Conclusion: Differences identified between Ta and T1 tumours supported the hypothesis that rigorous efforts should be placed in proper study design. These results provide a new framework to investigate microenvironment complexity in bladder cancer.

Abstract
Over the last decade anticancer treatment has experienced encouraging changes. One of the latest developments is immunotherapy, which is increasingly becoming a mainstay for the treatment of these malignancies. Unlike conventional chemotherapy, immunotherapy enhances anti-tumor immune response by blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints, and allowing our own immune system to fight against the tumor cells, arising as a new and innovative mechanism of action. Therefore, although well tolerated, these drugs have a unique side effect profile and are known to cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Adverse effects of immunotherapy are most commonly observed in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lung and endocrine systems. Less common toxicities may include neurological, haematological, cardiac, ocular or rheumatologic involvement. As far as we know, cancer patients are frequently seen in the Emergency Department due to treatment related toxicities, thus there is an increasing necessity to learn about this particular side effect profile given that they entail a different and unique management than that of classic chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Purpose There is a lack of standards for the diagnosis, assessment and management of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP). La Fundación ECO (the Foundation for Excellence and Quality in Oncology) commissioned a study to establish a consensus and lay the foundations for the appropriate management of BTcP in oncology patients. Patients and methods A modified Delphi survey comprising two rounds was used to gather and analyze data, which was conducted over the Internet. Each statement that reached a consensus with the respondents was defined as a median consensus score (MED) of ≥7, and agreement among panelists as an interquartile range (IQR) of ≤3. Results In total, 69 medical oncologists responded, with a broad consensus that BTcP implied exacerbations of high-intensity pain, as opposed to moderate pain. Furthermore, they concurred that appropriate diagnostic equipment is needed, and that rapid-onset fentanyl formulations should be the preferred treatment for BTcP management. The panelists agreed that a lack of appropriate information and training to attend to patients, as well as limited patient visitation rights, were barriers to effective BTcP management. Regarding gaps in detected knowledge, the panelists were unsure of the measures necessary to assess the burden of the disease on the patient’s quality of life and associated medication costs. Alongside this, there was a lack of awareness of the technical specifics of the different formulations of rapid-onset fentanyl. Conclusion These results represent the current status of BTcP management. They may inform recommendations and provide a framework for future research.

Abstract
Background Widespread abdominal imaging has led to a substantial increase in the detection of incidentalomas. Currently, an increasing number of centers offer surveillance of the pancreas to individuals at high risk (IARs) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Objective The aims of this study were to evaluate the frequency and type of incidental findings in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based surveillance program for IARs for PDAC, and to discuss the benefit of detecting these lesions. Methods The outcome of MRI screening was reviewed in 568 individuals from three long-term pancreas surveillance programs conducted at three large European expert centers. All MRIs were studied in detail for the presence of incidental lesions. Results The most common lesions were liver cysts, renal cysts and liver hemangioma, which together comprised 75% of all lesions. Only five (0.9%) patients underwent surgery for a benign lesion. Cancer was detected in 11 patients (1.9%); early detection of tumors was beneficial in at least five cases. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that extrapancreatic incidentaloma is a common finding in IARs for PDAC, but rarely requires additional treatment. CDKN2A-p16-Leiden mutation carriers were the only patient group found to harbor a substantial number of cancers, and detection resulted in benefit in several cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in the nonsmoking population. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends indoor concentrations of < 100 Bq/m³. Several molecular alterations have been described in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mainly in nonsmokers, with no risk factors identified. We studied the role of indoor radon in NSCLC patients harboring specific driver alterations. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed the radon concentration from EGFR-, BRAF-mutated (m), and ALK-rearranged (r) NSCLC patients measured by an alpha-track detector placed in their homes between September 2014 and August 2015. Clinical characteristics were collected prospectively, and pathologic samples were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Forty-eight patients were included (36 EGFRm, 10 ALKr, 2 BRAFm). Median radon concentration was 104 Bq/m³ (IQR 69-160) overall, and was 96 Bq/m³ (42-915) for EGFRm, 116 (64-852) for ALKr, and 125 for BRAFm, with no significant differences. Twenty-seven patients (56%) had indoor radon above WHO recommendations, 8 (80%) of 10 ALKr, 2 (100%) of 2 BRAFm, and 17 (47%) of 36 EGFRm. CONCLUSION The median indoor radon concentration was above the WHO recommendations, with no differences between EGFR, ALK, and BRAF patients. Concentrations above the WHO recommendations were most common with ALKr and BRAFm. These findings should be validated in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of frail patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is controversial. This pilot phase II trial aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of regorafenib when administered in first-line to frail patients with advanced CRC. METHODS Frail patients without prior advanced colorectal cancer treatment were included in the study. Definition of frailty was defined per protocol based on dependency criteria, presence of chronic comorbid pathologies and/or geriatric features. MAIN OBJECTIVE to assess progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months. Treatment consisted of 28-day cycles of orally administered regorafenib 160 mg/day (3 weeks followed by 1 week rest). RESULTS Forty-seven patients were included in the study. Median age was 81 years (range 63-89). Frailty criteria: dependency was observed in 26 patients (55%), comorbidities in 27 (57%) and geriatric features in 18 (38%). PFS rate at 6 months was 45% (95% confidence interval [CI] 30-60]. Median PFS was 5.6 months (95%CI 2.7-8.4). Median overall survival (OS) was 16 months (95%CI 7.8-24). Complete response, partial response and stable disease were observed in one, two and 21 patients respectively (objective response rate 6.4%; disease control rate 51%). Thirty-nine patients (83%) experienced grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs). The most common grade 3-4 AEs were hypertension (15 patients; 32%), asthenia (14; 30%), hypophosphatemia (6; 13%); diarrhea (4; 8%), hand-foot-skin reaction (4; 8%). There were two toxic deaths (4.2%) (grade 5 rectal bleeding and death not further specified). Dose reduction was required in 26 patients (55%) and dose-delays in 13 patients (28%). CONCLUSIONS The study did not meet the pre-specified boundary of 55% PFS rate at 6 months. Toxicity observed (83% patients experienced grade 3 and 4 AEs) preclude its current use in clinical practice on this setting. Disease control rate and overall survival results are interesting and might warrant further investigation to identify those who benefit from this approach. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was prospectively registered at EudraCT ( 2013-000236-94 ). Date of trial registration: April 9th, 2013.

Abstract
e15707 Background: Advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with a five-year overall survival (OS) of less than 5%. Folfirinox and Nab-Paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine (NabPacGem) are the most active treatments in the first-line (1L). The decision to use Folfirinox or NabPacGem is a matter of debate. Methods: A retrospective cohort of advanced PDAC patients treated from January 2011 to May 2018 in four Spanish institutions was analyzed. The principal objective was to compare OS among patients receiving Folfirinox versus NabPacGem in 1L. Progression-free survival (PFS) was a secondary objective. Results: Characteristics of 251 patients included: median age 66.6 years; male 54.4%; stage IV at diagnosis 66.7%; ECOG 0/1/2 18/70/12%; treated with Folfirinox 18.3% and NabPacGem 81.7%. Patients treated with Folfirinox versus NabPacGem were younger (median age 58.3 vs. 67.9; p<0.001) and had lower ECOG (0/1/2 of 46/54/0% vs. 13/71/16%; p<0.001). Univariate analysis: median PFS 5.8 months (95%CI, 4.3 – 7.3) for Folfirinox and 4.2 months (95%CI, 3.7 – 5.2) for NabPacGem, HR=1.53 (95%CI, 1.1 – 2.1; p=0.012); median OS 12.7 months (95%CI, 8.4 – 14.3) for Folfirinox and 7.6 months (95%CI, 5.8 – 8.8) for NabPacGem, HR=1.38 (95%CI, 0.96 – 1.98; p=0.081). Multivariate Cox analysis (including type of treatment, ECOG and age) showed that ECOG was the only variable associated with PFS and OS (Table). Conclusions: In our study, advanced PDAC patients treated with Folfirinox were younger and had a better performance status than those treated with NabPacGem. We found no differences in survival between both treatments when adjusting by ECOG and age.[Table: see text]

Abstract
e18296 Background: The ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Since 2015, ECO has been collaborating with ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in quality initiatives in cancer care, like the QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) program and the QOPI Certification Program (QCP). The Quality Training Program (QTP) is a 6-month program with 3 in-person learning sessions that prepares oncology teams to design implement and lead successful quality improvement activities in their practices. In 2018, ECO reached a new agreement with ASCO to implement this program in Spain. Methods: The QTP was developed in Spain by the ECO Foundation in collaboration with ASCO, following the same methodology and contents of ASCO’s program. The first session was carried out on October 2018, with 12 Spanish teams participating with diverse quality improvement projects. The program counted with ASCO and ECO faculty, constituted by experts in the quality and oncology field. Results: The QTP Spanish teams counted with 2-3 representatives from their hospitals. Each team develop an improvement project, following the methodology of the course, including a problem statement, process map, cause and effect diagram, diagnostic data, aim statement, measures, baseline data, priority/pay-off matrix of possible changes/interventions, change data, next steps/plan for sustainability, among others. The projects were mainly focused on the waiting time reduction in the Emergency Area, the waiting time reduction for cancer patients from the visit to the oncologist until treatment administration, burnout reduction on oncology professionals, improvement of the identification and management of complications for cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, improvement of the uniformity in the medical records registry, among others. QTP participants will present the results of their projects on the third and last session of the program, on April 2019. Conclusions: The quality improvement approach followed in the QTP allows Spanish teams and the ECO Foundation to enhance the goal of a quality-oriented health care system. ECO will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further initiatives like the QOPI program, the QCP and the QTP.

Abstract
e13517 Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is an aggressive tumor. Circulating Endothelial Cells (CECs) can be detected in peripheral blood and have been related to angiogenesis. CECs have an unclear prognostic value in patients with glioblastoma. The objective of this study was to quantify the presence and number of CECs in GB patients and determine its potential prognostic role. Methods: In this prospective, single center study, peripheral blood samples were obtained at the time of GB diagnosis. For the detection of CECs, 4 ml of blood was analyzed using the CellSearch system (Veridex). CEC blood samples were classified as CD146+, CD105+, CD45− and DAPI+. CEC detection was performed prior to surgery in a total of 26 patients and 22 patients with glioblastoma were included in the final analysis. We mesured progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Between 2014 and 2016, twenty two patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma were studied. There were 14 males and 8 females with an average age of 63 years (range 42-81). A complete resection was achieved in 50% of cases, partial or subtotal resection in 31.8% and biopsy in 18%. The mean number of CECs was 59.3 cells/mL (range 0-954). Patients were classified into two groups depending on the number of CECs: group 1 had a CEC count below the mean and group 2 had a CEC count above the mean. A total of 17 patients (77.2%) were in group 1 and 5 patients (22.7%) were in group 2.The median OS was 14.4 months (range -0.36-33.36) for the entire study population. The median OS was 17.4 months (IC95% 11.47-23.37) for patients in group 1 and 8.12 months for patients in group 2 (IC 95% 4.38-11.85) p = 0.002. The median PFS was 8.94 m (IC95% 5.1-12.69) for group 1 and 3.95 for group 2 (IC 95% 2.91-4.98) p = 0.097. Conclusions: CECs can be detected in recently diagnosed GB patients. The present study demonstrates a possible prognostic value for CEC determination in GB cases at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
e18267 Background: Patient care quality is a discipline with enormous relevance in today’s healthcare. Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) is a referral worldwide in quality for oncology practices. The ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. ECO reached an agreement with QOPI to involve Spanish hospitals in the QOPI program. Methods: 7 rounds of data collection have taken place (Fall 2015 to Round 2 2018). Practices had to register online and submit data into the QOPI platform, and the ECO Foundation offered them the necessary support. 18 Spanish hospitals have participated in the 7 rounds, and 12 of them have repeated participation. Core, Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer modules were completed. Results: During the 7 rounds, 2341 charts were submitted by the Spanish practices. The percentage of participating practices that presented results higher than 70% was successively 64%, 50%, 75%, 100% in the three following rounds and 88% in the last round. For the 12 hospitals that repeated participation, 8 reported improvements at different degrees of their global scores. These hospitals specifically show an improvement in the QOPI measures related to the signed patient consent for chemotherapy and the documentation of the patient consent in the practitioner note, the chemotherapy intent documentation, the appropriate completion of the chemotherapy planning, the documentation of the number of chemotherapy cycles and the development and documentation of the pain assessment. On the other hand, regarding QOPI Certification, three Spanish hospitals have received this accreditation in September 2017 and one in June 2018. Conclusions: These preliminary results are a good starting point for the continued implementation of the QOPI program in Spain, thus providing a well-structured approach to analyze cancer care. The ECO Foundation will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further activities like the QOPI Certification program and Quality Training Program, with these performed for the first time in Spain in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Abstract
e18295 Background: To develop an improvement project, the Lung Cancer Unit of Ramón y Cajal Hospital (Madrid) analyzed 45 patients treated with immunotherapy in 2017 and detected that 55% presented moderate-to-severe Adverse Events (AEs). Consequently, a specialized team from Ramon y Cajal Hospital and the ECO Foundation proposed to identify improvement areas that reduce grade 2 (G2) and 3 (G3) AEs. ECO is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Methods: The team used as an instrument the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Training Program (QTP). A data collection process was conducted before attending the first out of three sessions of the QTP with the revision of medical records from lung cancer patients. The goal for the final QTP session in June 2018 was to reduce G2 and G3 AEs by 25%, by standardizing patient education sessions using ASCO guidelines for the management of immune-related AEs. Results: The data collected showed that G2 and G3 AEs had an impact on quality of care, specifically a treatment delay in 31% of patients, unscheduled visits in 19%, serious complications in 11% and patient dissatisfaction with the reporting system. The team created a cause and effect diagram, in which the most relevant causes were inadequate patient knowledge and a lack of communication with patients between visits. A run chart of the percentage of G2 and G3 AEs during 2017 displayed that G2 AEs were higher during January and August; and G3 AEs in February and December. The team, including patient advocates, prioritized the implementation of these short-term measures for patients: improvement of education, education follow-up, satisfaction questionnaire development and AE knowledge test. By June 2018, the resulting value of the “(mean + range)/standard deviation” formula for AEs perceived knowledge in patients increased from 5.4 to 11.1 points, the same value for patients’ AEs knowledge increased from 7.3 to 13.8 points, the percentage of G2 AEs reduced in 5% and the percentage of G3 AEs maintained in 0%. Conclusions: This improvement approach indicates the need to continue further quality projects in healthcare. Broader participation of Spanish hospitals in improvement initiatives will enhance the goal of a quality-oriented health care system.

Abstract
e18266 Background: Patients with cancer and their caregivers express unmet needs beyond the clinical approach to cancer. The ECO Foundation (Quality and Excellence in Oncology) and the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) have promoted a qualitative research study with the objective to compare the perceptions of newly diagnosed and 2-3 years after diagnosis cancer patients, caregivers, oncologists, nurses and social workers in relation to a set of non-clinical needs expressed by cancer patients and caregivers, and to obtain concrete and feasible proposals for improvement aimed at satisfying these needs. Methods: A multidisciplinary group of experts developed a questionnaire containing information processes for cancer patients and caregivers, shared decision-making, healthcare circuits, the architecture of consultations, psychological support, support of associations and hospital social workers. Fourteen Medical Oncology Services of Spanish hospitals have participated in this study collecting 310 forms. Data were statistically analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: Information processes. The opportunity to have a second opinion is positively valuated for 72.6% of patients and 70.2% of caregivers. However, although 62.5% of oncologists referred to offer this option to their patients, only 10.9% of patients reported having received it. Shared decision-making. For 58% of oncologists, patients are sufficiently trained to share decision-making, but only 24.6% of newly diagnosed patients consider being prepared. In addition, although 95.8% of oncologists report offering the participation of their patients in decision-making, only 45.8% of newly diagnosed patients and 64.4% of 2-3 years after diagnosis patients, consider having received this opportunity. Psychological support. Psychological assistance was considered positive for 94.2% of the patients, 97.4% of the caregivers, 85.4% of the oncologists and 97.1% of the nurses. However, only 21.3% of oncologists and 31.4% of nurses recognize offering such proffessional care given by psychologists to patients. Conclusions: Knowing the non-clinical needs, not only of patients and caregivers, but also from the health care professionals, is essential when designing health strategies that should align the perceptions of patients and health care professionals.

Abstract
TPS3618 Background: Both anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF therapies have shown clinical benefit when they are added in first and second-line in L-sided CRC. The conflicting results in anti-VEGF vs. anti-EGFR studies (FIRE-3, PEAK and CALGB/SWOG 80405 studies) suggest that the sequence of targeted therapies added to FOLFOX or FOLFIRI regimens in first- and second-line treatment could be an important factor in the overall survival (OS) of mCRC patients. Currently, there are no randomized data on the sequential use of an anti-EGFR followed by an anti-VEGF or vice versa. Therefore, the aim of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two treatment sequences, panitumumab followed by bevacizumab versus bevacizumab followed by panitumumab in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy in first-line and with FOLFIRI in second-line in patients with wild-type RAS, primary L-sided, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: A phase III, multicentre, open-label and randomized two-arm clinical trial. Untreated patients with wild-type RAS mCRC (determined locally), primary L-sided and unresectable will be screened for this trial. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive first-line (1L) panitumumab plus FOLFOX and then bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI as second-line (2L) treatment (Seq. 1) or bevacizumab plus FOLFOX as 1L and then panitumumab plus FOLFIRI as 2L treatment (Seq. 2). Randomization will be stratified by number of metastatic organs involved (1 vs > 1). Primary objective is the comparison of the progression free survival (PFS) rate at 35 months (m) of Seq 1 vs Seq. 2. Secondary objectives: PFS from randomization to 2nd progression or death, OS rate at 35 months and OS of Seq. 1 vs Seq. 2; PFS, objective response rate, disease control rate, early tumour shrinkage, Depth of Response, duration and time to response and safety in 1L treatment and in 2L treatment in each Sequence arm. Exploratory objectives: impact of baseline biomarkers predictive of the efficacy in each Sequence arm and the clinical impact of clonal dynamics by longitudinal analysis of circulating tumour deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) in plasma. The trial is in progress; 28 of up to 370 planned patients have been recruited at the end of January 2019 (first patient in 31 October 2018). Clinical trial information: NCT03635021.

Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the seventh most frequently diagnosed tumor in adults in Europe and represents approximately 2.5% of cancer deaths. The molecular biology underlying renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development and progression has been a key milestone in the management of this type of tumor. The discovery of Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene alterations that arouse in 50% of ccRCC patients, leads the identification of an intracellular accumulation of HIF and, consequently an increase of VEGFR expression. This change in cell biology represents a new paradigm in the treatment of metastatic renal cancer by targeting angiogenesis. Currently, there are multiple therapeutic drugs available for advanced disease, including therapies against VEGFR with successful results in patients´ survival. Other tyrosine kinases' pathways, including PDGFR, Axl or MET have emerged as key signaling pathways involved in RCC biology. Indeed, promising new drugs targeting those tyrosine kinases have exhibited outstanding efficacy. In this review we aim to present an overview of the central role of these tyrosine kinases' activities in relevant biological processes for kidney cancer and their usefulness in RCC targeted therapy development. In the immunotherapy era, angiogenesis is still an "old guy" that the medical community is trying to fight using "new bullets".

Abstract
Deciphering the underlying genetic basis behind pancreatic cancer (PC) and its associated multimorbidities will enhance our knowledge toward PC control. The study investigated the common genetic background of PC and different morbidities through a computational approach and further evaluated the less explored association between PC and autoimmune diseases (AIDs) through an epidemiological analysis. Gene-disease associations (GDAs) of 26 morbidities of interest and PC were obtained using the DisGeNET public discovery platform. The association between AIDs and PC pointed by the computational analysis was confirmed through multivariable logistic regression models in the PanGen European case-control study population of 1,705 PC cases and 1,084 controls. Fifteen morbidities shared at least one gene with PC in the DisGeNET database. Based on common genes, several AIDs were genetically associated with PC pointing to a potential link between them. An epidemiologic analysis confirmed that having any of the nine AIDs studied was significantly associated with a reduced risk of PC (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.58-0.93) which decreased in subjects having ≥2 AIDs (OR = 0.39, 95%CI 0.21-0.73). In independent analyses, polymyalgia rheumatica, and rheumatoid arthritis were significantly associated with low PC risk (OR = 0.40, 95%CI 0.19-0.89, and OR = 0.73, 95%CI 0.53-1.00, respectively). Several inflammatory-related morbidities shared a common genetic component with PC based on public databases. These molecular links could shed light into the molecular mechanisms underlying PC development and simultaneously generate novel hypotheses. In our study, we report sound findings pointing to an association between AIDs and a reduced risk of PC.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an inherently chemoresistant tumor. Chemotherapy leads to apoptosis of cancer cells, and in previous studies we have shown that tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration increases following chemotherapy in PDAC. Since one of the main functions of macrophages is to eliminate apoptotic cells, we hypothesized that TAMs phagocytose chemotherapy-induced apoptotic cells and secrete factors, which favor PDAC chemoresistance. To test this hypothesis, primary human PDAC cultures were treated with conditioned media (CM) from monocyte-derived macrophage cultures incubated with apoptotic PDAC cells (MØApopCM). MØApopCM pretreatment rendered naïve PDAC cells resistant to Gemcitabine- or Abraxane-induced apoptosis. Proteomic analysis of MØApopCM identified YWHAZ/14-3-3 protein zeta/delta (14-3-3ζ), a major regulator of apoptotic cellular pathways, as a potential mediator of chemoresistance, which was subsequently validated in patient transcriptional datasets, serum samples from PDAC patients and using recombinant 14-3-3ζ and inhibitors thereof. Moreover, in mice bearing orthotopic PDAC tumors, the antitumor potential of Gemcitabine was significantly enhanced by elimination of TAMs using clodronate liposomes or by pharmacological inhibition of the Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, a 14-3-3ζ interacting partner. These data highlight a unique regulatory mechanism by which chemotherapy-induced apoptosis acts as a switch to initiate a protumor/antiapoptotic mechanism in PDAC via 14-3-3ζ/Axl signaling, leading to phosphorylation of Akt and activation of cellular prosurvival mechanisms. The data presented therefore challenge the idea that apoptosis of tumor cells is therapeutically beneficial, at least when immune sensor cells, such as macrophages, are present.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNA) expression in colorectal (CR) primary tumours can facilitate a more precise molecular characterization. We identified and validated a miRNA profile associated with clinical and histopathological features that might be useful for patient stratification. In situ hybridization array using paraffin-embedded biopsies of CR primary tumours were used to screen 1436 miRNAs. 17 miRNAs were selected for validation by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) (n = 192) and were further correlated with clinical and histopathological data. We demonstrated that miRNAs associated to Colorectal Cancer (CRC) diagnosis age (over 50s and 60s) included miR-1-3p, miR-23b-3p, miR-27b-3p, miR-143-3p, miR-145-5p and miR-193b-5p. miR-23b-3p and miR-24-3p discriminated between Lynch Syndrome and sporadic CRC. miR-10a-5p, miR-20a-5p, miR-642b and Let-7a-5p were associated to stroma abundance. miR-642b and Let-7a-5p were associated with to peritumoral inflammation abundance. miR-1-3p, miR-143-3p and miR-145-5p correlated with mucinous component. miR-326 correlated with tumour location (right or left sided). miR-1-3p associated with tumour grade. miR-20a-5p, miR-193b-5p, miR-320a, miR-326 and miR-642b-3p associated to tumour stage and progression. Remarkably, we also demonstrated that miR-1-3p and miR-326 expression significantly associated with patient overall survival (OS). Hierarchical clustering and bioinformatics analysis indicated that selected miRNAs could re-classify the patients and work cooperatively, modulating common target genes involved in colorectal cancer key signalling pathways. In conclusion, molecular characterization of CR primary tumours based on miRNAs could lead to more accurate patient reclassification and may be useful for efficient patient management.

Abstract
Background: Patients with cancer and their caregivers express unmet needs beyond the clinical approach to cancer. The ECO Foundation (Quality and Excellence in Oncology) and the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) have promoted a qualitative research study with the objective to identify and compare the perceptions of newly diagnosed and 2–3 years after diagnosis cancer patients, caregivers, oncologists, nurses, and social workers in relation to a set of nonclinical needs expressed by cancer patients and caregivers, and to obtain concrete and feasible proposals for improvement aimed at satisfying these needs. Methods: A multidisciplinary group of experts developed a questionnaire about information processes for cancer patients and caregivers, shared decision-making, satisfaction with healthcare circuits, the architecture of consultations, psychological support, support of associations, and the received support of hospital social workers. 14 Medical Oncology Services of Spanish hospitals have participated in this study collecting opinions from the study groups. 310 forms were collected, and data were statistically analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: Information processes: The opportunity to have a second opinion is positively valuated for 72.6% of patients and 70.2% of caregivers. However, although 62.5% of oncologists referred to offer this option to their patients, only 10.9% of patients reported having received it. Shared decision-making: For 58% of oncologists, patients are sufficiently trained to share decision-making, but only 24.6% of newly diagnosed patients consider being prepared. In addition, although 95.8% of oncologists report offering the participation of their patients in decision-making, only 45.8% of newly diagnosed patients and 64.4% of 2–3 years after diagnosis patients consider having received this opportunity. Psychological support: Psychological assistance was considered positive for 94.2% of the patients, 97.4% of the caregivers, 85.4% of the oncologists, and 97.1% of the nurses. However, only 21.3% of oncologists and 31.4% of nurses recognize offering such care to patients. Conclusions: Knowing the nonclinical needs, not only of patients and caregivers, but also from the healthcare professionals, is essential when designing health strategies that should align the perceptions of patients and healthcare professionals.

Abstract
Background: Patient quality care is a discipline that has acquired enormous relevance in today’s healthcare. The Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) is a referral worldwide in terms of quality for oncology practices. The ECO Foundation is a foundation of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals involved in the treatment of cancer patients. ECO reached an agreement with ASCO to involve Spanish hospitals in the QOPI program. Methods: 6 rounds of data collection have taken place (Fall 2015 to Round 1 2018). Practices had to register online and submit data into the QOPI platform, and the ECO Foundation offered all centers the necessary support. 17 Spanish hospitals have participated in the 6 rounds, and 7 of them have repeated participation. Core and lung cancer modules were completed. Results: During the 6 rounds, 1,877 charts were submitted by the Spanish practices. In most of the rounds, the highest scores were: pathology report confirming malignancy; number of chemotherapy cycles documented; patient consent for chemotherapy; and 5 measures of the lung cancer module. The lowest scores were: chemotherapy treatment summary provided to patient within 3 months of chemotherapy end; chemotherapy treatment summary provided or communicated to practitioner(s) within 3 months of chemotherapy end; smoking/tobacco use cessation counselling recommended to smokers/tobacco users in past year; and tobacco cessation counselling administered or patient referred in past year. The percentage of participating practices that presented results higher than 70% was successively 64%, 50%, 75%, and 100% in the last 3 rounds. For the 7 hospitals that repeated participation, 3 reported an improvement of their global scores. Regarding QOPI Certification, 3 Spanish hospitals received this accreditation in September 2017 and one in June 2018. Conclusions: These preliminary results are a good starting point for the continued implementation of the QOPI program in Spain, thus providing a well-structured approach to analyze cancer care. The ECO Foundation will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further activities like the QOPI Certification program and Quality Training Program, these being performed for the first time in Spain in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended RAS analysis is mandatory in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. The optimal threshold of RAS mutated subclones to identify patients most likely to benefit from antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy is controversial. Our aim was to assess the clinical impact of detecting mutations in RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA and EGFRS492R in basal tissue tumour samples by using a highly sensitive next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in mCRC patients treated with chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five hundred and eighty-one tumour samples from untreated mCRC patients from 7 clinical studies were collected. Mutational analysis was carried out by standard-of-care (therascreen pyro) with a sensitivity detection of 5% mutant allele fraction (MAF), and compared with NGS technology using 454GS Junior platform (Roche Applied Science, Germany) with a sensitivity of 1%. Molecular results were correlated with clinical outcomes. RESULTS After quality assessment, 380 samples were evaluable for molecular analysis. Standard-of-care mutational analysis detected RAS, BRAFV600E or PIK3CA mutations in 56.05% of samples compared with 69.21% by NGS (P = 0.00018). NGS identified coexistence of multiple low-frequency mutant alleles in 96 of the 263 mutated cases (36.5%; range 2-7). Response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were increasingly improved in patients with RAS wild-type, RAS/BRAF wild-type or quadruple (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF/PIK3CA) wild-type tumours treated with anti-EGFR, assessed by standard-of-care. No additional benefit in RR, PFS or OS was observed by increasing the detection threshold to 1% by NGS. An inverse correlation between the MAF of the most prevalent mutation detected by NGS and anti-EGFR response was observed (P = 0.039). EGFRS492Rmutation was not detected in untreated samples. CONCLUSIONS No improvement in the selection of patients for anti-EGFR therapy was obtained by adjusting the mutation detection threshold in tissue samples from 5% to 1% MAF. Response to anti-EGFR was significantly better in patients with quadruple wild-type tumours.

Abstract
637 Background: Public health sustainability is a major concern worldwide. Clinical research is considered to leverage patient care outcome but also can lead costs savings and, subsequently, to maintain public health system. Thus, we analyzed the direct impact of clinical research in terms of improvement in clinical outcomes and costs related to research in patients with mRCC in real-life setting. Methods: We retrospectively collected data related to overall survival (OS) and direct health care costs from all mRCC patients who were treated with oral anti-tumour medication and followed at the Medical Oncology Department of Ramón y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid, between January 2010 and February 2017. A statistical analysis comparing the outcomes of patients included in clinical trials versus those not included was conducted. Results: In the study period, 65 patients were newly diagnosed with mRCC and received treatment. Those patients included in clinical trials showed higher median OS (91 vs. 29 months. HR 0.389; 95% CI: 0.150: 1.000; p=0.04). Median direct cost per mRCC patient in ‘real-life’ was €67,376. Median cost for a patient enrolled in at least one clinical trial was €53,673 vs. €63,834 for those who were never recruited for a trial. Participation in clinical trials contributed to a decrease in total health expenditure by 9.02% (€362,367), mainly due to reduction in the cost of medications and diagnostic tests (91.46% vs. 8.54%, respectively). Furthermore, clinical trial participants have required less number of hospitalizations (0.08 vs. 1.75) and emergency visits (0.39 vs. 3.2) per patient. Conclusions: Under the public health system perspective, participation in clinical trials is related to an improvement in overall survival as well as direct and indirect cost savings in mRCC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Resection can potentially cure resectable pancreatic cancer (PaC) and significantly prolong survival in some patients. This large-scale international study aimed to investigate variations in resection for PaC in Europe and USA and determinants for its utilisation. DESIGN Data from six European population-based cancer registries and the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database during 2003-2016 were analysed. Age-standardised resection rates for overall and stage I-II PaCs were computed. Associations between resection and demographic and clinical parameters were assessed using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 153 698 records were analysed. In population-based registries in 2012-2014, resection rates ranged from 13.2% (Estonia) to 21.2% (Slovenia) overall and from 34.8% (Norway) to 68.7% (Denmark) for stage I-II tumours, with great international variations. During 2003-2014, resection rates only increased in USA, the Netherlands and Denmark. Resection was significantly less frequently performed with more advanced tumour stage (ORs for stage III and IV versus stage I-II tumours: 0.05-0.18 and 0.01-0.06 across countries) and increasing age (ORs for patients 70-79 and ≥80 versus those <60 years: 0.37-0.63 and 0.03-0.16 across countries). Patients with advanced-stage tumours (stage III-IV: 63.8%-81.2%) and at older ages (≥70 years: 52.6%-59.5%) receiving less frequently resection comprised the majority of diagnosed cases. Patient performance status, tumour location and size were also associated with resection application. CONCLUSION Rates of PaC resection remain low in Europe and USA with great international variations. Further studies are warranted to explore reasons for these variations.

Abstract
288 Background: To develop an improvement project, the Lung Cancer Unit of Ramón y Cajal Hospital (Madrid) analyzed 45 patients treated with immunotherapy in 2017 and detected that 55% presented moderate-to-severe Adverse Events (AEs). Consequently, a specialized team from Ramon y Cajal Hospital and ECO Foundation proposed to identify improvement areas that reduce grade 2 (G2) and 3 (G3) AEs. ECO is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Methods: The team used as an instrument the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Training Program (QTP). A data collection process was conducted before attending the first out of three sessions of the QTP with the revision of medical records from lung cancer patients. The goal for the final QTP session in late-June 2018 was to reduce G2 and G3 AEs by 25%, by standardizing patient education sessions using ASCO guidelines for the management of immune-related AEs. Results: The data collected showed that G2 and G3 AEs had an impact on quality of care, specifically a treatment delay in 31% of patients, unscheduled visits in 19%, serious complications in 11% and patient dissatisfaction with the reporting system. The team created a cause and effect diagram, in which the most relevant causes were inadequate patient knowledge and a lack of communication with patients between visits, in addition to a Pareto chart, in which the more frequent AEs were asthenia, respiratory infection, cough, among others. A run chart of percentage of G2 and G3 AEs during 2017 displayed that G2 AEs were higher during January and August; and G3 AEs in February and December. The team, including patient advocates, prioritized the implementation of these short-term measures for patients: improvement of education, education follow-up, satisfaction questionnaire development and AE knowledge test. By mid-June 2018, new data will be collected to determine the effectivity of these measures. Conclusions: This improvement approach indicates the need to continue further quality projects in healthcare. Broader participation of Spanish hospitals in improvement initiatives will enhance the goal of a quality-oriented health care system.

Abstract
310 Background: Patient care quality is a discipline with enormous relevance in today’s healthcare. Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) is a referral worldwide in quality for oncology practices. ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals involved in the treatment of cancer patients. ECO reached an agreement with QOPI to involve Spanish hospitals in the QOPI program. Methods: Six rounds of data collection have taken place (Fall 2015 to Round 1 2018). Practices had to register online and submit data into the QOPI platform, and ECO Foundation offered all centers the necessary support. 17 Spanish hospitals have participated in the six rounds, and 7 of them have repeated participation. Core and Lung Cancer modules were completed. Results: During the six rounds, 1877 charts were submitted by the Spanish practices. In most of the rounds, the highest scores were: Pathology report confirming malignancy, Number of chemotherapy cycles documented, Patient consent for chemotherapy and 5 measures of the Lung Cancer module. The lowest scores were: Chemotherapy treatment summary provided to patient within 3 months of chemotherapy end, Chemotherapy treatment summary provided or communicated to practitioner(s) within 3 months of chemotherapy end, Smoking/tobacco use cessation counselling recommended to smokers/tobacco users in past year and Tobacco cessation counselling administered or patient referred in past year. The percentage of participating practices that presented results higher than 70% was successively 64%, 50%, 75% and 100% in the last three rounds. For the 7 hospitals that repeated participation, 3 reported an improvement of their global scores. Regarding QOPI Certification, three Spanish hospitals received this accreditation in September 2017 and one in June 2018. Conclusions: These preliminary results are a good starting point for the continued implementation of the QOPI program in Spain, thus providing a well-structured approach to analyze cancer care. ECO Foundation will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further activities like the QOPI Certification program and Quality Training Program, these being performed for the first time in Spain in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Abstract
Carcinomas, such as colon cancer, initiate their invasion by rescuing the innate plasticity of both epithelial cells and stromal cells. Although Snail is a transcriptional factor involved in the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition, in recent years, many studies have also identified the major role of Snail in the activation of Cancer-Associated Fibroblast (CAF) cells and the remodeling of the extracellular matrix. In CAFs, Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor signaling is a major functional determinant. High expression of both SNAI1 and PDGF receptors is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients, but the mechanism(s) that underlie these connections are not understood. In this study, we demonstrate that PDGF-activated fibroblasts stimulate extracellular matrix (ECM) fiber remodeling and deposition. Furthermore, we describe how SNAI1, through the FAK pathway, is a necessary factor for ECM fiber organization. The parallel-oriented fibers are used by endothelial cells as “tracks”, facilitating their activation and the creation of tubular structures mimicking in vivo capillary formation. Accordingly, Snail1 expression in fibroblasts was required for the co-adjuvant effect of these cells on matrix remodeling and neoangiogenesis when co-xenografted in nude mice. Finally, in tumor samples from colorectal cancer patients a direct association between stromal SNAI1 expression and the endothelial marker CD34 was observed. In summary, our results advance the understanding of PDGF/SNAI1-activated CAFs in matrix remodeling and angiogenesis stimulation.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is the most frequent type of pancreatic cancer and one of the deadliest diseases overall. New biomarkers are urgently needed to allow early diagnosis, one of the only factors that currently improves prognosis. Here we analyzed whether the detection of circulating galectin-1 (Gal-1), a soluble carbohydrate-binding protein overexpressed in PDA tissue samples, can be used as a biomarker for PDA. Gal-1 levels were determined by ELISA in plasma from healthy controls and patients diagnosed with PDA, using three independent cohorts. Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) were also included in the study to analyze the potential of Gal-1 to discriminate between cancer and inflammatory process. Plasma Gal-1 levels were significantly increased in patients with PDA as compared to controls in all three cohorts. Gal-1 sensitivity and specificity values were similar to that of the CA19-9 biomarker (the only FDA-approved blood test biomarker for PDA), and the combination of Gal-1 and CA19-9 significantly improved their individual discriminatory powers. Moreover, high levels of Gal-1 were associated with lower survival in patients with non-resected tumors. Collectively, our data indicate a strong potential of using circulating Gal-1 levels as a biomarker for detection and prognostics of patients with PDA.

Abstract
Exosome production from cancer-associated fibroblasts seems to be an important driver of tumor progression. We report the first in-depth biotype characterization of ncRNAs, analyzed by Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics, expressed in established primary human normal and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from cancer and normal mucosa tissues from 9 colorectal cancer patients, and/or packaged in their derived exosomes. Differential representation and enrichment analyses based on these ncRNAs revealed a significant number of differences between the ncRNA content of exosomes and the expression patterns of the normal and cancer-associated fibroblast cells. ncRNA regulatory elements are specifically packaged in CAF-derived exosomes, supporting a specific cross-talk between CAFs and colon cancer cells and/or other stromal cells, mediated by exosomes. These sncRNAs are potential biomarkers present in cancer-associated fibroblast-derived exosomes, which should thereby contribute to developing new non-invasive diagnostic, prognostic and predictive methods for clinical applications in management of cancer patients.

Abstract
Data regarding management of frail patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma practice is currently very scarce. Randomized clinical trials usually exclude these subgroup of patients and the majority of the publications only consider chronological age and ECOG performance status for their classification. Therefore, the current available data do not reflect daily clinical practice. Only data from a phase two study (FRAGANCE study), designed to select a tolerable dose-schedule of nab-placitaxel + gemcitabine (Phase one) and to evaluate the efficacy of the selected regimen (Phase two) in patients with ECOG-2 and previously untreated advanced PDAC, are currently available. Management of these particular patients is exceedingly complex and requires collaboration of multidisciplinary teams and intensive support treatment. This article reviews the literature available regarding the management of the so-called frail patients and provide guidance for chemotherapy as well as supportive care treatments.
