Abstract
Goals of endocrine therapy for advanced breast cancer (ABC) include prolonging survival rates, maintaining the quality of life, and delaying the initiation of chemotherapy. We evaluated the effectiveness of fulvestrant as first-line in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive ABC with relapse during or after adjuvant anti-estrogenic therapy in real-world settings. Retrospective, observational study involving 171 postmenopausal women with ER-positive ABC who received fulvestrant as first-line between January 2011 and May 2018 in Spanish hospitals. With a median follow-up of 31.4 months, the progression-free survival (PFS) with fulvestrant was 14.6 months. No differences were seen in the visceral metastatic (14.3 months) versus non-visceral (14.6 months) metastatic subgroup for PFS. Overall response rate and clinical benefit rate were 35.2% and 82.8%. Overall survival was 43.1 months. The duration of the clinical benefit was 19.2 months. Patients with ECOG performance status 0 at the start of treatment showed a significant greater clinical benefit rate and overall survival than with ECOG 1–2. Results in real-world settings are in concordance with randomized clinical trials. Fulvestrant continues to demonstrate clinical benefits in real-world settings and appears be well tolerated as first-line for the treatment of postmenopausal women with ER-positive ABC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to describe the efficacy of fulvestrant 500 mg in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced/metastatic breast cancer who had disease progression after receiving anti-estrogen therapy in clinical practice, getting real-world data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multicenter, retrospective, observational study conducted in Spain. Postmenopausal women with locally advanced/metastatic ER-positive breast cancer who received treatment with fulvestrant 500 mg after progression with a previous anti-estrogen therapy were eligible. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), clinical benefit rate (CBR), duration of clinical benefit (DoCB), and safety profile. RESULTS A total of 263 women were evaluated (median age, 65.8 years). At a median follow-up of 21.5 months, median PFS and OS were 10.6 and 43.2 months, respectively. PFS according to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and ≥ 4th lines were 11.5, 10.6, 9.9, and 8.5 months, respectively (p = 0.0245). PFS in patients with visceral involvement was 10 months vs 10.6 months in patients without visceral involvement (p = 0.6604), 9.6 months in patients with high Ki67 vs 10 months in patients with low Ki67 (p = 0.7224), and 10.2 months in HER2+ patients vs 10.3 months in HER2- patients (p = 0.6809). The CBR was 56.5% and the DoCB was 18.4 months. The most frequently adverse events were injection site pain (10.3%) and musculoskeletal disorders (7.6%). CONCLUSIONS Fulvestrant 500 mg administered in clinical practice was shown to be effective (PFS, 10.6 months; CBR, 56.5%) and well tolerated, in accordance with previous trials.

Abstract
We aimed to describe the incidence of neutropenia in breast cancer and lymphoma patients and granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) use in clinical practice. We conducted a multicentre, prospective, observational study including breast cancer and lymphoma patients initiating chemotherapy (≥ 10% febrile neutropenia risk). We included 734 patients with breast cancer and 291 with lymphoma. Over the first four chemotherapy cycles, patients had an incidence of 11.0% grade 3-4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <1.0 × 10(9) /L) and 4.3% febrile neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <0.5 × 10(9) /L and fever ≥ 38 °C) in the breast cancer cohort, and 40.5% and 14.8% in the lymphoma cohort. Full dose on schedule (>85% of planned chemotherapy dose and ≤ 3 days delay) was achieved by 85.6% of breast cancer and 68.9% of lymphoma patients. Hospitalisation due to febrile neutropenia was required in 2.0% and 12.0% of breast cancer and lymphoma patients respectively. G-CSF was administered to 70.0% of breast cancer and 83.8% of lymphoma patients, and initiated from the first chemotherapy cycle (primary prophylaxis) in 60.6% and 64.2% of cases. Severe neutropenia affects approximately one in 10 breast cancer patients and one in two lymphoma patients receiving chemotherapy with moderate or greater risk of febrile neutropenia. Most patients received treatment with G-CSF in Spanish clinical practice.

Abstract
e20585 Background: Chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) is a frequent complication of patients (pts) with cancer and could be treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents such darbepoetin alfa (DA). The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns of use and effect of DA to treat CIA in clinical practice conditions. Methods: This was an observational, retrospective, multicenter study performed in 58 Spanish centres. Eligible pts were ≥18 yrs, diagnosed with non-myeloid malignancies and treated with chemotherapy (CT) and DA from October 2005 to October 2006. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics, CT and radiotherapy (RT), DA administration, red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, and haemoglobin (Hb) levels were collected from DA treatment initiation up to a maximum of 16 weeks or until treatment discontinuation. Results: A total of 685 pts were included in the study. Median age was 64.66 years (range 18.54–88.95), 50.7% were women, 74.11% had ECOG status 0–1 and 71.38% had stage III/IV cancer. Solid tumours represented 72.55% of the cases. The CT regimen included platinum derivates in 33.58% of the pts. At DA initiation, mean (SD) Hb was 10.00 g/dL (1.05) Administration of DA every three weeks occurred in 54.01% of the pts. Mean (SD) DA administration was 9.20 weeks (5.31). Hematopoietic response (defined as Hb ≥ 12 g/dL or Hb rise from baseline >2 g/dL in the absence of RBC transfusions during the previous 28 days) occurred in 63.24% (95% CI 59.49–66.83) of pts. A total of 88 pts (12.85%) required RBC transfusions from week 5 to end of treatment. Mean Hb (SD) at the end of treatment with DA was 11.36 g/dL (1.73). Adverse event (AE) potentially related to DA were reported in 20 pts (2.92%) and considered severe in 6 cases (0.88%). Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the use of DA for the treatment of CIA in real-life, daily oncology and haematology practice, is well-tolerated and effective for increasing haemoglobin to reduce the need of RBC transfusions.

Abstract
17129 Background: This trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the sequential nonplatinum combination chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine (GEM)/vinorelbine (VNR) followed by weekly docetaxel (DOC) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Eligibility criteria: stage IV NSCLC, Performance status ≤2, adequate renal, hepatic and bone marrow function. Treatment: VNR 25 mg/m2 plus GEM 1000 mg/m2, on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle, followed by DOC 36 mg/m2 weekly until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 21 stage IV patients were enrolled. All patients are evaluable for treatment response and toxicity profile. The mean age of the patients was 63 years (range: 51 to 72) with 18 (86%) males and 3 (14%) females. Histology types: adenocarcinoma in 8 patients (38%), large cell carcinoma in 1 patient (5%) and squamous cell carcinoma in 12 patients (57%). Most of the patients had ECOG PS of 1. 8 patients (38%) did not complete 6 cycles of GEM-VNR. The median number of cycles of GEM-VNR was 4 (range 2–6) Of the 13 patients (61%) who completed 6 cycles of GEM-VNR, all of them went on to receive weekly docetaxel and received at least 3 cycles, with a median number of 8 cycles (range 3–16). The overall response rate was 33%. Respect survival, the minimum follow-up was 6 months (range, 6–25 months). The median survival time (MST) was 7,9 months, and the 1-year survival was 30 %, and the median progression-free survival was 4.7 months. Toxicity was mild, well tolerated and mostly hematologic. In the GEM/VNR cycle, grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 14%, two patients with febrile neutropenia. Grade 3 anaemia in 1 patient (5%) and grade 3 thrombocytopenia in 1 patient (5%). Nonhematologic toxicity was also mild: 1 patient with Grade 3 skin toxicity with DOC, 1 patient with grade 3 infection, 2 patients with grade 3 astenia and 1 patient with a mild allergic reaction postchemotherapy treatment with DOC. Conclusions: The sequential triplet nonplatinum chemotherapy consisting of GEM/VNR followed by weekly DOC is active and can be administered safely in advanced NSCLC. Our results are similar with other sequential regimens and did not represent a significant improvement in the treatment of this disease. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
4552 Background: The availability of reliable prognostic factors for relapse in stage I seminoma would allow a better patient stratification for individually tailored therapies. We performed a pooled analysis of patients included in two consecutive risk-adapted protocols. Methods: Between 1994 and 2004, 588 cases were prospectively registered. Median patient age was 33 years, median tumor size was 45 mm, serum BHCG levels were elevated preoperatively in 14.6%, and rete testis invasion was present in 26.9%. Three hundred and four patients (51.7%) with risk factors received two courses of adjuvant carboplatin, whereas 284 (48.3%) without these criteria were managed by surveillance. After a median follow-up of 48 months (range, 12–144), 43 relapses (7.3%) have occurred. Five-year disease-free survival was 92.3%. Univariate (log rank) and multivariate (Cox regression) analyses of prognostic factors for relapse were performed. Results: Relapses were less frequent after carboplatin treatment (3% vs 12%, p < 0.0001). Statistically significant, independent predictors of relapse were: 1) rete testis invasion and age (<30 years) in the whole series; 2) rete testis invasion for patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy; and 3) tumor invasion beyond the albuginea and microvessel neoplastic invasion (defining 1997 AJCC pT2–4 staging) for patients managed by surveillance. In contrast, tumor size, histologic subtype (anaplastic), and serum preoperative BHCG levels were not associated with prognosis. Conclusions: Invasion of the rete testis and age (<30 years) represent high-risk factors for patients with clinical stage I testis seminoma, independently of the treatment selected. These two features, in combination with pathologic T2–4 staging, could improve patient selection for risk-adapted therapies. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The addition of oral capecitabine to docetaxel improves response rate, time to progression (TTP) and overall survival in anthracycline-pretreated metastatic breast cancer (MBC). This phase II study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a 21-day cycle of oral capecitabine (1000 mg m−2 twice daily, days 1–14) plus i.v. paclitaxel (175 mg m−2, day 1) in anthracycline-pretreated advanced/MBC. In all, 73 patients were enrolled at 13 Swedish and Spanish centres. The objective response rate was 52% (95% confidence interval (CI): 40–63%) in the intent-to-treat population, including complete responses in 11%. Disease was stabilised in a further 29%. The median time to disease progression (TTP) was 8.1 months and the median overall survival was 16.5 months. The combination was generally well tolerated with a predictable safety profile. The most common treatment-related nonhaematological adverse events were hand–foot syndrome (42%), alopecia (30%) and diarrhoea (26%). The only treatment-related Grade 3/4 adverse events occurring in >5% of patients were alopecia (22%) and hand–foot syndrome (11%). Grade 3/4 neutropenia and lymphocytopenia were reported in 12 and 14% of patients, respectively. Capecitabine plus paclitaxel is highly active with a favourable safety profile in anthracycline-pretreated MBC.

Abstract
Irinotecan (CPT-11) is an effective drug in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Little is known about its efficacy and safety in previously treated patients with poor performance status. We prospectively evaluated the antitumor efficacy and safety of CPT-11 monotherapy in this setting. Thirty-four patients with poor performance status (Karnofsky score between 60 and 80) and/or progressing on one or more previous 5-FU-based chemotherapy lines for advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma were enrolled in this study. Treatment consisted of irinotecan (CPT-11) at 100 mg/m(2) administered as a 60-min iv infusion every week for four consecutive weeks followed by a 2-wk rest period until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The overall objective response rate (WHO criteria) for the 34 patients included was 20.6% [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.3%-34.9%]. Stable disease was obtained in 13 patients (38.2%) and 14 patients (41.2%) progressed. The median time to disease progression was 5.5 mo (range: 0.9-17.5) and the median survival was 8.3 mo (95% CI: 1.7-16.9). Overall, weekly CPT-11 was well tolerated with grade 3/4 neutropenia as the main hematological toxicity (11 patients: 32.4%; 14 infusions: 3.3%), and delayed diarrhea (10 patients: 29.4%; 16 infusions: 3.8%) as the main grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicity. In conclusion, weekly CPT-11 at 100 mg/m(2) for four consecutive weeks followed by a 2-wk rest period showed antitumor efficacy and may be safely administered to heavily pretreated patients with advanced colorectal cancer and a poor performance status. Weekly CPT-11 monotherapy may be considered as a therapeutic option for this population of patients.
