Abstract
INTRODUCTION A significant proportion of locally-advanced esophago-gastric adenocarcinoma (EGA) is diagnosed in patients ≥70 years old (y.o.) who are commonly underrepresented in clinical trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed database was searched for phase 2/3 clinical trials enrolling patients ≥70 y.o and reporting efficacy/safety information of chemotherapy for resectable EGA. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Among 6,128 records, only seven studies reported these outcomes (three peri-operative, three adjuvant, and one neoadjuvant), including 1004 older patients, <20% of the overall population. No significant benefit in terms of OS and RFS was observed for perioperative or adjuvant chemotherapy vs surgery alone. No trial reported safety endpoints in this subgroup. DISCUSSION This work did not show any significant benefit in OS or RFS for chemotherapy vs surgery alone or conventional vs de-escalated chemotherapy in the curative setting of EGA in ≥70 y.o patients. Specific ad hoc trials should be performed to derive reliable data.

Abstract
Data management "behind the scenes" refers to collection, cleaning, imputation, and demarcation; and despite of being indispensable processes, they are usually neglected and thus, generate erroneous information. During the collection are errors: omission of covariates, deviation from the objective, and insufficient quality. The omission of covariates distorts the result attributed to the main manoeuvre. Deviation from the primary objective commonly occurs when the outcome is rare, delayed, or subjective and promotes substitution by non-equivalent surrogate variables. Moreover, insufficient quality occurs due to inadequate instruments, omission of the measurement procedure, or measurements out of context, such as attribution at the wrong time or equivalent. Furthermore, cleaning implies identifying erroneous, extreme, and missing values, which may or may not be imputed, depending on the percentage. The values of the manoeuvre or the outcome are never imputed, nor are patients eliminated due to a lack of values. Finally, the demarcation of each variable seeks to give it a clinical meaning about the outcome, for which a hierarchical sequence of criteria is followed: 1) previous clinical study, 2) expert agreement, 3) clinical judgment of the investigator/investigators, and 4) statistics. Acting without quality controls in data management frequently causes involuntary lies and confuses instead of clarifying.

Abstract
e22517 Background: there are few reported series n women with breast cancer (BC) and COVID-19, a better prognosis has been observed, with a lower rate of hospitalization and mortality than other neoplasms. Methods: We conducted a restrospective, non-experimental, observational, single center, study with a sample of 69 patients with BC who had presented COVID-19, in the period between March 2020 to August 2021. Clinicopathological characteristics of patients with BC were compared between severe and non-severe covid 19 groups, as well as hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. An analysis of possible risk factors associated with severe disease and hospitalization was performed. Results: 69 cases were reported, median age 52y, mean BMI 25.2, ECOG 0-1: 97%. Smoking history in 24%, diabetes and hypertension were the most frequent comorbidities. The most frequent histology was ductal carcinoma in 80.6%, 73.8% showed ER + and 69.3% PR +, HER2 was overexpressed in 9.2%. The early stages predominated, I 22 (31.3%), II 25 (37.3%), III in 12 (17.9%) and IV in 6 (9%). The most frequents symptoms of COVID-19 were fatigue 70.1%, fever 65.7%, cough 59.7%, headache 56.7%, hyposmia 47.8%, dysgeusia 38.8%. A total of 53 (76.8%) mild cases, 14 (20.3) severe cases and 2 (2.9%) critical cases were registered. The 89.9% (62 patients) were treated as an outpatient basis, while 7 (10.1%) required hospitalization. Active treatment (< 45 days) at the time of COVID-19 was hormonal therapy 36 (50.7%), chemotherapy 11 (16.4%), anti-HER2 in 3 (4.5%), immunotherapy in 1.5%, targeted treatment in 4 (6.0%), surgery in 7 (10.4%) and radiotherapy in 1 (1.5%) patient. When comparing the severe and non-severe groups, as well as hospitalized versus non-hospitalized, we observed no difference between the clinicopathological characteristics. Then, we serch for possible risk factors, in wich, surgery in a period of less than 3 months increases the risk of severity OR 1,297 (95% CI 1,112-1,514), the risk of hospitalization increased in the triple negative subgroup OR 1,143 (95% CI, 1,035- 1,262), surgery less than 3 months OR 1,116 (1,014-1,229) and chemotherapy less than 45 days OR 1,217 (95% CI, 1,024-1,447). Conclusions: In patients with BC, the prevalence of severe or critical COVID-19 was 23% and the hospitalizacion rate 10%. No patient died from this infection. The clinical and pathological characteristics of BC do not appear to increase the risk of severe COVID-19 or the rate of hospitalization. Surgery performed in a period of less than 3 months is marginally associated with an increased risk of severe disease. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy do not modify the risk of severe disease; however, higher Ki 67, triple negative subgroup, surgery and chemotherapy showed a slight increase in risk of hospitalization.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) in young women has a behavior and biology associated with an increased risk of recurrence and death. The diagnosis of MC in young women is strongly associated with the presence of genetic mutations, mainly in the BRCA gene. However, an association between the presence of inherited genetic mutations and prognosis has not been observed. OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and analyze the clinical-pathological characteristics of women, <50 years with BC, with and without BRCA germline mutation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study of women <50 years with BC with and without BRCA germline mutation who received treatment at a private third level Medical Center. RESULTS: During the period from January 1, 2015 to June 1, 2020, 807 women with a diagnosis of breast cancer were identified who received systemic treatment under adjuvant, neoadjuvant or palliative indication. Of these, 360 (44.6%) were 50 years old or younger. 53 women with BC <50 years had the result of a genetic panel and are the ones that were included for the analysis. Median age was 40 years (27-50), 55% <40 years old. The immunophenotype, according to the evaluation by immunohistochemistry of the hormonal receptors, Ki-67 and HER2/neu status, was luminal A like in 13 (24.5%) women, luminal B like in 18 (34%), luminal B like with overexpression of HER2/neu in 7 (13.2%), HER2/neu in 3 (5.7%) and in 12 (22.6%) cases it was triple negative. 30/53 women (56.6%), presented some mutation in the genetic panel. BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 9/30 (30%) mutation, all of them were pathogenic variants. Mutations other than BRCA in 21/30 (70%), of these 7/21 (33.3%) pathogenic (P) mutations in the ATM (2), MUTYH (2), TP53 (2) and PALB2 (1) genes. In 14/21 (66.7%) variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were identified. We did not observe an association between the clinicopathological characteristics and the BRCA mutational status or other genetic mutations, except for the high degree of differentiation (p = 0.04), being more frequent in the mutated group. There were no differences in disease-free time between BRCA mutated and non-mutated patients (p = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of the BRCA germline mutation in women with BC <50 years in our population was 30%. The clinical and biological characteristics and the disease-free time were not different among the group with and without BRCA germline mutation, or other genes.

Abstract
67 Background: in Mexico, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death, yet population-based screening programs are lacking. In our center, a cohort was created to validate a risk calculator to detect advanced colorectal neoplasia, and to understand barriers to implement a CRC screening program. We aimed to determine frequency and reasons associated to rejection of CRC screening in our population. Methods: from August 2019 to March 2020 (early close owing to COVID-19 pandemic) asymptomatic individuals between 50 and 75 years-old with standard-risk for CRC, without previous screening for CRC, from the outpatient internal medicine clinic at a tertiary care center in Mexico City, received standardized information on the importance of CRC screening and were invited to perform both Fecal Immunochemical Test and a screening colonoscopy within a clinical study at no cost. Individuals who rejected participation were given a 10-item questionnaire to select reasons for refusal, as many items as applied. Here we present two groups: 1) individuals who refused to receive information and to perform screening studies, and 2) individuals who refused to participate after receiving information. Results: 162 patients were invited to participate, 77 (47%) refused: 48 rejected immediately (group 1) and provided 51 reasons, and 29 declined after having received standardized information about CRC screening (group 2) and provided 30 reasons. Demographics for 77 patients were: 54 (70.1%) women, median age 66 (IQR 58-71) years. Main reasons for rejection in both groups were: “I do not have time” in 24 (29.6%) times, “I am not interested” in 23 (28.4%) times, and “I am scared” in 14 (17.3%) times (Table). Conclusions: in our cohort, we identified that nearly half of the population invited to participate in a CRC screening program refused. Main reasons were lack of time, lack of interest and fear. This may translate poor understanding on the importance of measures to prevent CRC, and absence of education programs to recall its importance. In order to increment participation in CRC screening, education and awareness campaigns should be implemented.[Table: see text]

Abstract
617 Background: Ampullary cancer (AC) represents 0.2% of gastrointestinal cancers. Given the rarity of the disease, information regarding treatment strategies and outcomes derives from studies that include the different types of periampullary cancers, which constitute a heterogeneous group. Our aim was to describe the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes in patients (pts) with true AC treated at our institution. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of all consecutive pts with histological diagnosis of AC evaluated at our institution from Jan 2009-Dec 2019. Clinical, pathological and laboratory variables at diagnosis were recorded. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier and compared with the Log-rank test. Statistical significance was determined at P<0.05. Results: 133 pts with AC were included. Median age was 62 yo (IQR 53-70), 51.9% were women. 25% had ampullary adenoma history. Symptoms at diagnosis: 89% jaundice, 63% weight loss and 56% abdominal pain. Median laboratory values were total bilirubin 1.7 mg/dL (0.7-5.1), albumin 3.7 g/dL (3.1-4.2), hemoglobin 12.6 g/dL (10.9-14.2), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 34.7 U/mL (6.4-113.9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 2.6 ng/mL (1.2-4.2). Most tumors were moderately differentiated (59%). Histologic subtypes of adenocarcinoma were available in 84 pts: intestinal 46.4%, pancreaticobiliary 39.3% and mixed 14.3%. Stage at diagnosis was localized (46%), locally advanced N+ (29%) and advanced (25%). For those with localized/locally advanced disease, 91% (91/100) underwent surgical resection, 25.3% (23/91) received adjuvant chemotherapy (ChT), 69.6% (16/23) received single agent and 30.4% (7/23) duplet. Pts who received adjuvant Cht presented N+ in 69.6%, moderate differentiation in 73.9%, intestinal 47.8% and pancreaticobiliary subtype 43.5%. In advanced setting, 63.6% (21/33) received palliative Cht, 66.7% received a duplet regimen. Median OS was 32.8 (22.9-42.8) months (mos). Median OS according to stage was 152.1, 28.1 and 10.2 mos for localized, locally advanced, and advanced, respectively (P<0.001). OS univariate analysis is shown in table. Conclusions: Most of pts presented with localized/locally advanced disease, were eligible to surgical resection and had a better survival. For those with N+ disease it is required to evaluate the role of adjuvant Cht. In the advanced setting, Cht improves prognosis.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Cancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic represents a challenge. Hospital visits to receive treatment and interaction with health care workers (HCW) represent potential contagious events. We aimed to determine SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among patients with cancer and HCW of a chemoradiotherapy unit localized in a center designated as a COVID-19 priority facility in Mexico City. We also determined the diagnostic performance of a clinical questionnaire (CQ) as a screening tool and anti–SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroconversion rate. Biweekly RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 detects asymptomatic infections and prevents transmission in an oncological unit![]()

Abstract
e20565 Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer. Prognosis is generally poor, with a median overall survival (mOS) of approximately 12 months. MPM appears to be directly linked to immunosuppressive mechanisms, leading to use of checkpoint inhibitors for patients with this disease. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with MPM at our institution between January 2015 to December 2020. All patients were over 18 years at the time of diagnosis of mesothelioma, a total of 8 patients were retrieved from the pathology database of The American British Cowdray Medical Center. The clinical-pathologic features collected were sex, age, performance status, risk factors, pTNM stage (AJCC 8th edition), histology type, sintomatology of onset, metastases sites and treatment. Clinical response rate and other outcomes were assessed. Descriptive statistics were used to describe a patient's demographic and disease characteristics. Results: 8 patients, aged 49 to 71 years (median of 65) at diagnosis of MPM were treated in our center. Both sex presented 4 patients in total. An identifiable risk factor was recorded in 4 patients (2 with asbesto exposure and 2 with heavy smoking). 7 patients (87.5%) had PS 0 or 1, the remaining has PS 2. The clinical stage at diagnosis was unresectable in 7 patients. 3 patients were assessed with PD-L1 expression (SP263 or 22C3), only one with expression of 20%. All patients received at least one scheme of chemotherapy prior to receiving immunotherapy, 25% received bevacizumab/platinum/anti-folate agents. Checkpoint inhibitors were introduced as a second line in 20% and in 80% has a third or more lines. Pembrolizumab was used in 20% and Nivolumab in 80%. The tumor responses with immunotherapy were as follows: partial response 12.5%, stable disease 75% and progressive disease 12.5%. Median progression-free survival of the first line treatment was 18.9 months (4.6-33.6 months), and for the line with checkpoint inhibitors was 11.2 weeks (7-21.2). In the full cohort, mOS was 37.0 months (95% CI:14.5-39.6). According to histology, the mOS for epithelioid-type was 36.6 months and for biphasic-type was 14.6 months (p = 0.42). mOS was 37.0 months for the group with immunotherapy and 15.0 months for those with standard chemotherapy (p = 0.14). The most frequently reported immune mediated adverse events were hypothyroidism and colitis (each one with one patient). Conclusions: In this real-world analysis, mOS was superior to those obtained in the MAPS2 trial (mOS 11.9 months), despite the fact that 80% of the population that received immunotherapy was in third or more lines. Limitations include limited numbers of patients, retrospective review, single institution, and inclusión of many heavily pretreated patients. Also molecular and immunohistochemical results such as PD-L1 status were only available on a limited number of patients.

Abstract
e12574 Background: Currently there are no primary cultures or cell lines derived from patients with breast cancer and obesity. It has been postulated that breast cancer in obese women behaves differently as it does in non-obese women, as is composed of distinct biological features, as was generated in a different metabolic environment, as well as pertains to a different prognosis and different response to chemotherapy, lower rates of overall survival and a greater probability of recurrence. By creating a primary breast cancer culture bank of breast cancer tumors from women with obesity (BMI > 30kg/m2), we will establish a cell line exclusive to obese women in Mexico, where targeted therapy may be tested and treatment may be individualized depending on the characteristics of the patient. Methods: This study recruited 32 women with breast cancer and a BMI > 30 kg/m2, matched by 6 controls with are non-obese women with breast cancer. Elegibility criteria was determined by women with breast cancer confirmed by pathology, who had not been subjected to prior treatment regarding the neoplasm. The breast cancer removing surgeries and the patients were selected from the ABC Medical Center in Mexico City and all procedures were approved by the research and ethics committee of the hospital in question. Results: Through extensive communication a cooperative protocol was established between the departments of surgery, oncology, pathology and nursing to coordinate efforts and be able to take a 2 – 5 mm sample of the breast tumor removed from the patient. To be able to distinguish cancer cells from non-cancer cells (epithelial cells, fibroblasts, adipocytes) the Hayflick limit was be utilized. Once a primary breast cancer culture was established, 12 million cells will be injected into the subscapular area of athymic, nu-nu mice to be able to monitor tumoral growth in vivo and conduct a subsequent cellular analysis, determining it still pertains to the same characteristics of the tumor from which it was obtained. Conclusions: A primary breast cancer culture repository from patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 was established. This is the first primary breast cancer culture for both Mexican and obese women with breast cancer, the first in vitro method of analysis of specific characteristics typical of the Mexican population. Translational research may now be conducted on these new tumoral cultures to create individualized therapy for women with the distinct, aforementioned characteristics.

Abstract
e13053 Background: Breast cancer was the second most common malignant tumor diagnosed in 2018 worldwide, and the main cause of cancer death in women. In Mexico is the leading cause of cancer deaths, the most common molecular subtypes is HR+/HER2- (63%). The addition of iCDK 4/6 can enhance the benefit seen with endocrine therapy (ET) alone. In this work we will describe the experience in a “real world” model, of two tertiary-level hospitals in Mexico, with the use of iCDK 4/6 in a period of 3 years. Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of all consecutive pts with histological diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer HR+/HER2- and iCDK 4/6 treatment at our Institutions from July 2016 to January 2019. Clinical and pathological variables at diagnosis were recorded. Progression free survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and survival distributions were compared using the Log-rank test. To assess association variables and progression we use Chi square. Results: 65 pts were treated, all with iCDK 4/6 in combination with ET, either aromatase inhibitor or irreversible estrogen receptor antagonist. 62 with palbociclib and 3 with ribociclib; Median age was 53 y/o (IQR 42-63), ECOG 0-1 (92.3%), 80% was metastatic recurrent disease, 92% of these patients received endocrine adjuvant treatment. Median estrogen receptor percentage was 90 (IQR 61-92), progesterone 50 (9-83), KI67 20 (10-30). The metastatic sites were bone (64.6%), liver (41.5%), nodal (33.8%), lung (21.5%), CNS (3.1%) and others (18.5%). 26 pts (40%) received iCDK 4/6 in the first line, 21 (32.3%) in the second line, and 27% in subsequent lines. Any grade of toxicity was presented in 44 pts (67.7%), Most common toxicities were neutropenia (63%), fatigue (16.9%), anemia (9.2%), grade 3-4 toxicities were presented in 21.5% and 17 pts (26.2%) required any dose adjustment. At the cut-off date, 28 pts (43.1%) had disease progression, median time to progression for the 65 pts was 10 months (1-84). OR for first line treatment vs subsequent lines was 0.14 (0.04-0.47, 95%, p = 0.001). OR for pulmonary metastases were 4.21 (1.15-15.31, 95%, p = 0.03), for other sites of metastasis were NS. Conclusions: Our outcomes suggest that the PFS is better when iCDK 4/6 are used as a first line treatment. Pulmonary metastases are may associated with poorly outcomes. In low- and middle-income countries, efforts should be focused on early therapy with iCDK 4/6.

Abstract
327 Background: Advanced gastric cancer (GC) is a disease with high morbidity and poor prognosis. We hypothesize that different sites of metastasis have different impact in terms of symptoms and complications. We sought to evaluate if site specific morbidity in our patients impacted treatment and survival. Methods: Medical records from patients with advanced GC treated from Jan 2005 to Dec 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Morbidity was defined as having any symptom by metastases in a specific site. OS was estimated by Kaplan Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: We included 180 consecutive patients, median age at diagnosis was 56 years (21-90), 55% were women. Most common sites of metastases were: peritoneum 76.1%, non-regional lymph nodes 38.9%, liver 22.8%, lung 26.7%, bone 9.4% and ovary 12.8%. Regarding morbidity, at diagnosis 68% of patients presented morbidity by the primary tumor: obstruction 56%, bleeding 27%, obstruction and bleeding 3%, other 14%. Disease by peritoneum caused morbidity in 30%, by lung in 8%, by ovarian in 4.4%, by lymph nodes in 3.3%, and by other sites in 5.6% of patients. OS in the global cohort was: 3.53 months (2.2 to 4.8), nevertheless by univariate analysis we found that OS was affected by morbidity at some sites as it is show in table. More patients with peritoneal morbidity could not receive treatment vs those without peritoneal morbidity (p = 0.042). Conclusions: We found that morbidity in peritoneum, lung and ovary adversely affected prognosis of patients with advanced GC. Moreover, peritoneal morbidity preclude patients from receiving oncological treatment. [Table: see text]
