Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ASPSM) is a consortium of cancer centers performing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). This is a position paper from the ASPSM on the standardization of the delivery of HIPEC. METHODS A survey was conducted of all cancer centers performing HIPEC in the United States. We attempted to obtain consensus by the modified method of Delphi on seven key HIPEC parameters: (1) method, (2) inflow temperature, (3) perfusate volume, (4) drug, (5) dosage, (6) timing of drug delivery, and (7) total perfusion time. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric tests. RESULTS Response rates for ASPSM members (n = 45) and non-ASPSM members (n = 24) were 89 and 33 %, respectively. Of the responders from ASPSM members, 95 % agreed with implementing the proposal. Majority of the surgical oncologists favored the closed method of delivery with a standardized dual dose of mitomycin for a 90-min chemoperfusion for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin. CONCLUSIONS This recommendation on a standardized delivery of HIPEC in patients with colorectal cancer represents an important first step in enhancing research in this field. Studies directed at maximizing the efficacy of each of the seven key elements will need to follow.

Abstract
The association of marfanoid habitus (MH) and intellectual disability (ID) has been reported in the literature, with overlapping presentations and genetic heterogeneity. A hundred patients (71 males and 29 females) with a MH and ID were recruited. Custom-designed 244K array-CGH (Agilent®; Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA) and MED12, ZDHHC9, UPF3B, FBN1, TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 sequencing analyses were performed. Eighty patients could be classified as isolated MH and ID: 12 chromosomal imbalances, 1 FBN1 mutation and 1 possibly pathogenic MED12 mutation were found (17%). Twenty patients could be classified as ID with other extra-skeletal features of the Marfan syndrome (MFS) spectrum: 4 pathogenic FBN1 mutations and 4 chromosomal imbalances were found (2 patients with both FBN1 mutation and chromosomal rearrangement) (29%). These results suggest either that there are more loci with genes yet to be discovered or that MH can also be a relatively non-specific feature of patients with ID. The search for aortic complications is mandatory even if MH is associated with ID since FBN1 mutations or rearrangements were found in some patients. The excess of males is in favour of the involvement of other X-linked genes. Although it was impossible to make a diagnosis in 80% of patients, these results will improve genetic counselling in families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current professional guidelines, such as the Neonatal Resuscitation Program, specify significant roles for parents in decision-making at periviability. However, current federal regulations and some legal precedents indicate that resuscitation decisions should be made by the physician at the time of delivery, based on physical assessment of the infant. The enforcement of such approach would potentially increase the resuscitation of infants with poor prognoses. OBJECTIVE To characterize the resuscitation practices of neonatologists attending deliveries of premature infants at the borderline of viability, in the context of current federal legislation. STUDY DESIGN A questionnaire was administered to directors of all level III neonatal intensive care units in the state of New Jersey, eliciting resuscitation decisions for hypothetical birth scenarios as well as knowledge of legal statutes. RESULTS Resuscitation decisions for infants born at 24 weeks of gestational age were not associated with parental wishes. In contrast, parental requests were significantly associated with decisions whether to treat infants born at 22 and 23 weeks gestation. Most neonatologists believed they were knowledgeable about federal legislation, but that knowledge did not change the way they practiced. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that resuscitation of premature infants at 24 weeks gestation is the standard of care in New Jersey, a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse state that may represent broader national trends. The high compliance with parental wishes at 22 or 23 weeks is probably related to physicians' expectation of poor outcomes at these gestational ages. This approach is consistent with current recommendations of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program but may not be compatible with existing federal statutes and legal precedent.

Abstract
AIM The prognostic effects of chemotherapy and various lymph node measures [positive nodes, total node count and the positive lymph node ratio (PLNR)] have been established. It is unknown whether the cancer-specific survival benefit of chemotherapy differs across these nodal prognostic categories. METHOD This retrospective analysis of linked Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data and Medicare data (SEER-Medicare)included patients ≥ 65 years of age with a diagnosis of stage III colon cancer between 1997 and 2002. We grouped patients according to the number of positive nodes (N1 and N2), total node count (≥ 12 and < 12 total nodes) and PLNR (below the 75th percentile and at least at the 75th percentile of the PLNR). The end point was colon cancer-specific mortality. RESULTS Fifty-one per cent (3701) of the 7263 patients received adjuvant therapy during the time period 1997-2002. The mean (standard deviation) number of total nodes examined was 13 (9) and the number of positive nodes identified was 3 (3). Patients with N2 disease, < 12 total nodes examined and a high PLNR had a worse survival at 2, 3 and 5 years following colectomy. Utilization of chemotherapy demonstrated a colon cancer-specific survival benefit (hazard ratio at median follow up = 0.7; P < 0.001) that was consistent and statistically significant across the three nodal prognostic categories examined. CONCLUSION The benefit of chemotherapy did not vary based on N stage, total node count or PLNR. The results favour a broad-based approach towards increasing the chemotherapy treatment rates in stage III patients of ≥ 65 years of age, rather than an approach that targets clinical subgroups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiation with etoposide and cisplatin (EP/XRT) is standard treatment for inoperable stage III locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Consolidation docetaxel (D; Taxotere) after EP/XRT resulted in increased toxicity but no improvement in survival compared with observation (O). We report updated survival for the entire study population and include an analysis of efficacy and tolerability of EP/XRT with or without D in patients aged ≥ 70 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS Hoosier Oncology Group LUN 01-24 enrolled 243 patients with LA-NSCLC and randomized 166 after EP/XRT to three cycles of D versus O. the trial was terminated after an analysis of the first 203 patients demonstrated futility of D. RESULTS Median survival time (MST) for the overall study population was 21.5 months, and 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were 30.7%, 18.0%, and 13.9%, respectively. No differences in MST or 3-year survival were noted between D and O arms. Older patients had similar MST (17.1 versus 22.8 months for younger patients, P = 0.15) but higher rates of grade 3/4 toxicity and hospitalization during induction. CONCLUSIONS Consolidation docetaxel after EP/XRT does not improve survival in LA-NSCLC. Fit older adults with LA-NSCLC benefit from concurrent chemoradiation similarly as younger patients but experience higher rates of hospitalization and toxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Vitamin D deficiency has recently been shown to be correlated with high rates of developing breast cancer (Chen P et al, Breast Cancer Res Treat; Oct 2009). However, the association between the degree of vitamin D deficiency and specific histological subtypes of breast cancer remains unclear. Preclinical data has suggested that vitamin D plays an essential role in the terminal differentiation of breast cancer cells, and thus vitamin D deficiency would be associated with the pathogenesis of estrogen receptor negative tumors (Welsh J et al, Journal of Steroid Biochem Mol Biol; Feb 2003), in particular triple-negative tumors, which are associated with a particularly aggressive clinical course. Methods: Beginning in July 2008, the majority of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients at University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center had Vitamin D 25-OH levels testedon initial presentation to the clinic. We conducted a retrospective chart review to obtain information about tumor histology and vitamin D levels in these patients. Results: We include data on 71 patients who presented with newly-diagnosed breast carcinoma or DCIS between June 2008 and December 2009. Average age at diagnosis was 57 (range 36-87), and 58% of patients were African American. Stage distribution of the cohort included; DCIS-3%, stage I-15%, stage II-41%, stage III-28%, and stage IV-10%. Overall, 80% of the patients were vitamin D deficient at diagnosis, with vitamin D levels under 30 ng/ml, and 57% had levels under 20 ng/ml. Patients with triple-negative tumors were the most likely to be vitamin D deficient at diagnosis (90%) compared to hormone receptor-positive patients (75%), and they had the lowest mean and median vitamin D levels compared to all other patients.
Percentage of patients with Vitamin D deficiency
Vitamin D level by histological subtype
Hormone receptor-positive patients were significantly more likely to have normal vitamin D levels at diagnosis and significantly less likely to have severe deficiency (level <10 ng/ml) than those with hormone receptor-negative tumors (p=0.037). African-American women in this cohort were also more likely to be severely vitamin D deficient, with levels <10 ng/ml, than were Caucasian women (34% vs. 7%, p=0.048). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is common among patients with newly-diagnosed breast cancer. Patients with triple-negative tumors may have a higher likelihood of being vitamin D deficient than patients with other histological subtypes.

Abstract
4557 Background: Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgical resection is a standard treatment option for pts with resectable esophageal or GE junction (GEJ) carcinomas (CA). Cetuximab, when combined with XRT is effective treatment for locally advanced cancers of the head and neck. We conducted this study to evaluate this regimen in pts with esophageal and GEJ CA. Methods: This is a single arm, open label pilot study combining cetuximab with XRT for pts with resectable esophageal and GEJ CA. The primary objective is to determine the pathologic complete response rate (pCR) (null hypothesis: p=0.20; alternative hypothesis: p=0.35) and determine the feasibility and toxicity of this regimen when given prior to esophagectomy. Key eligibility criteria are: squamous cell (SC)or adenoCA of the esophagus or GEJ, ECOG PS 0–2, clinical stage II -IVa, and eligible for esophagectomy. Pts received a loading dose of cetuximab at 400mg/m2 2 weeks prior to XRT, then weekly at 250 mg/m2 starting one week prior to XRT until completion of 50.4 Gy XRT. After satisfactory recovery, pts had esophagectomy. Results: Patient characteristics (n=40): median age 65 years (range, 54–82); 92% male; PS 0/1 63%/32%; esophageal/GEJ 65%/35%; adenoCA/SC 78%/22%; 36 pts have completed cetuximab and radiation and 26 pts have undergone esophagectomy. Of the 26 pts that have undergone esophagectomy, 13 obtained a pCR. 5/13 SC had pCR and 8/13 adenoCA had pCR. 10 pts did not undergo surgery for various reasons including disease progression (n=7), AE unrelated to treatment (n=2), and personal decision to forgo esophagectomy (n=1). 4 patients are still completing cetuximab/XRT. The most common G3 adverse event was rash (56%). Other G3 toxicities were infrequent and included dysphagia (6%), infection (6%), and GI bleed (3%). There have been no treatment or surgery related deaths. Conclusions: Cetuximab and XRT results in pCR's in pts with esophageal and GEJ CA (rate of pCR 13/36), including patients with either SC or adenoCA histologies. G3/4 toxicities, including dysphagia were generally uncommon. Further study of this combination prior to esophagectomy is warranted. [Table: see text]

Pts received either PBO or 500 mg ENZ daily after loading dose of 375 mg orally, TID, on day 1, cycle 1. Starting on day 8, cycle 1, patients received PEM 500mg/m2, CARBO AUC 6 and BEV 15mg/kg, intravenously, every 21 days. After 4 cycles, pts continued on BEV+ENZ or BEV+PBO. Pts were stratified by ECOG status, disease stage and site with a planned sample size of 90 pts. Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included objective response rate (ORR) and toxicity. Results: Study was terminated after a planned interim analysis for safety and efficacy. From October 2007 to July 2008, 40 pts were enrolled: 20 in each arm. Median age was 60.5 years (range: 44 to 78); M 52.5%, F 47.5%; ECOG PS 0/1 52.5% and 47.5%; stage IIIB/IV 15% and 85%. Baseline characteristics were well matched. The PEM+CARBO+BEV+ENZ arm received a median of 3 cycles of therapy and the PEM+CARBO+BEV+PBO arm 4 cycles. Median PFS was 4.3 mo and 4.2 mo for ENZ and PBO, respectively (unadjusted HR: 0.94, 95% CI [0.39, 2.33]). ORR for ENZ and PBO was 20% and 25%, respectively. Overall, grade 3/4 toxicities were similar in both arms. One patient in ENZ arm experienced a grade 3/4 hemorrhage (vs. none in the PBO arm). Two patients experienced a GI perforation (1 on each arm): 1 resulted in death on the PBO arm. Both patients had a history of diverticulosis. Conclusions: Based upon the results of this interim efficacy analysis, addition of ENZ to PEM+CARBO+BEV will not significantly prolong PFS in patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC. This combination does not warrant further study in NSCLC.

According to the ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy, the following financial and other relationships must be disclosed: employment or leadership position, consultant or advisory role, stock ownership, honoraria, research funding, expert testimony, and other remuneration (J Clin Oncol. 2006 Jan 20;24[3]:520). The ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy disclosure requirements apply to all authors who submit abstracts to the Annual Meeting. For clinical trials that began accrual on or after April 29, 2004, ASCO's Policy places some restrictions on the financial relationships of principal investigators (J Clin Oncol. 2006 Jan 20;24[3]:521). If a principal investigator holds any restricted relationships, his or her abstract will be ineligible for placement in the 2009 Annual Meeting unless the ASCO Ethics Committee grants an exception. Among the circumstances that might justify an exception are that the principal investigator (1) is a widely acknowledged expert in a particular therapeutic area; (2) is the inventor of a unique technology or treatment being evaluated in the clinical trial; or (3) is involved in international clinical oncology research and has acted consistently with recognized international standards of ethics in the conduct of clinical research. NIH-sponsored trials are exempt from the Policy restrictions. Abstracts for which authors requested and have been granted an exception in accordance with ASCO's Policy are designated with a caret symbol (^) in the Annual Meeting Proceedings.

Abstract
e19082 Background: Poor performance status is a negative prognostic variable for survival and a risk for increased toxicities with standard chemotherapy. A phase 2 study combining erlotinib (E) and bevacizumab (B) demonstrated encouraging efficacy in the treatment of recurrent NSCLC with acceptable toxicity. We, therefore, tested this regimen in untreated PS 2 patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Single-arm phase 2 trial in treatment-naïve patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC and either a PS of 2 or age >75. Only patients eligible for bevacizumab per label were allowed onto study. Patients received E 150 mg orally daily and B 15 mg/kg IV on day 1 every 21 days for up to 6 cycles. The primary end-point was the rate of non progressive disease at 4 months (alternative hypothesis P>60%). Other end-points included overall survival, progression free survival (PFS), toxicity evaluations and patient-reported PS (PRPS) measures. Results: 25 patients were enrolled. Patient characteristics: 56% female, median age 77 years (range: 52–90); 88% stage IV; 92% were PS 2; 20% were never or remote smokers (> 30 years) The PRPS was 1, 2, 3 in 32%, 52%, 8% respectively with data on 2 patients missing. The rate of non-progression at 4 months was 40%; overall best response: 5% PR, 40% SD, 50% PD and 5% unevaluable; median PFS 2.6 months, 95% CI (1.3–5.1); MST 5.8 months, 95% CI (3.8- 8.7). 2 patients had G3 rash. G3 diarrhea, G3 hemorrhage, G3 proteinuria, G3 duodenal ulcer and G3 pneumonitis each developed in one patient. Conclusions: E + B is an active regimen with an acceptable toxicity profile; however, this study did not meet its’ primary endpoint. Further study of this combination will not be pursued in the Hoosier Oncology Group for this patient population. [Table: see text]

Abstract
8074 Background: ABT-869 is a novel orally active, potent and specific inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. Methods: This ongoing, open-label, randomized, multicenter phase 2 trial of ABT-869 at 0.10 mg/kg daily (Arm A) and 0.25 mg/kg daily (Arm B) until progressive disease (PD) or intolerable toxicity, was initiated to assess antitumor activity and toxicity of ABT-869 in patients (pts) with NSCLC. Eligibility criteria included locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC; ≥ 1 prior systemic treatment, and ≥1 measurable lesion by RECIST criteria. The primary endpoint was the progression free (PF) rate at 16 wks. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), time to progression (TTP), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). CT scans were assessed by the investigator and centrally; central assessment results are provided. Results: 138 patients (pts) were enrolled from 08/07–10/08 from 27 centers with interim data available for 94 pts (Arm A, n=43; Arm B; n=51). Median age was 64 years and 62 years in Arm A and B respectively. For the interim analysis population (Arm A, n=24; Arm B, n=24), 16 (33.3%) pts were PF at 16 wks: 7 (29.2%) in Arm A and 9 (37.5%) in Arm B. The ORR in Arm A (n=30) was 0% and 7.3% in Arm B (n=41). The median TTP and median PFS were 110 and 109 days, and 112 days and 108 days in Arm A and B, respectively. The most common adverse events (AEs) in Arm A were fatigue (35%), nausea (21%), and anorexia (21%), and in Arm B were hypertension (51%), fatigue (51%), diarrhea (43%), anorexia (41%), nausea (31%), proteinuria (31%) and vomiting (26%). The most common grade 3/4 toxicities in the Arm A were fatigue (7%), ascites (5%), dehydration (5%), pleural effusion (5%), and in the Arm B were hypertension (23%), fatigue (8%), PPE syndrome (8%), dyspnoea (6%) and stomatitis (6%). Most AE's were mild/moderate and reversible with interruptions/dose reduction/or discontinuation of ABT-869. Conclusions: ABT-869 demonstrates an acceptable safety profile and appears to be active in NSCLC patients. [Table: see text]
