Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to develop a cognitive dysfunction (CD) focused questionnaire to evaluate caregiver burden in glioblastoma. Materials & methods: The survey was developed from stakeholder consultations and a pilot study, and disseminated at eight US academic cancer centers. Caregivers self-reported caring for an adult with glioblastoma and CD. Results: The 89-item survey covered demographics, CD symptoms and caregiver burden domains. Among 185 caregivers, most were white, educated females and reported memory problems as the most common CD symptom. An exposure-effect was observed, with increase in number of CD symptoms significantly associated with greater caregiver burden. Conclusion: This questionnaire could guide caregiver interventions and be adapted for use longitudinally, in community cancer settings, and in patients with brain metastases.

Abstract
Background Previous phylogeographic studies of the lion (Panthera leo) have improved our insight into the distribution of genetic variation, as well as a revised taxonomy which now recognizes a northern (Panthera leo leo) and a southern (Panthera leo melanochaita) subspecies. However, existing whole range phylogeographic studies on lions either consist of very limited numbers of samples, or are focused on mitochondrial DNA and/or a limited set of microsatellites. The geographic extent of genetic lineages and their phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain, clouded by massive sampling gaps, sex-biased dispersal and incomplete lineage sorting. Results In this study we present results of low depth whole genome sequencing and subsequent variant calling in ten lions sampled throughout the geographic range, resulting in the discovery of >150,000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Phylogenetic analyses revealed the same basal split between northern and southern populations, as well as four population clusters on a more local scale. Further, we designed a SNP panel, including 125 autosomal and 14 mitochondrial SNPs, which was tested on >200 lions from across their range. Results allow us to assign individuals to one of these four major clades (West & Central Africa, India, East Africa, or Southern Africa) and delineate these clades in more detail. Conclusions The results presented here, particularly the validated SNP panel, have important applications, not only for studying populations on a local geographic scale, but also for tracing samples of unknown origin for forensic purposes, and for guiding conservation management of ex situ populations. Thus, these genomic resources not only contribute to our understanding of the evolutionary history of the lion, but may also play a crucial role in conservation efforts aimed at protecting the species in its full diversity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is a potential biomarker to predict tumor response to immuno-oncology agents in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A multi-site cohort study evaluated patients diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC between 2012 and 2019 who had received comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and any NSCLC-related treatment at 9 U.S. cancer centers. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between patients with TMB <10 and TMB ≥10. RESULTS Among the 667 patients with CGP results, most patients received CGP from Foundation Medicine (64%) or Caris (20%). Patients with TMB ≥10 (vs. TMB <10) were associated with a positive smoking history. TMB was associated with ALK (p = 0.01), EGFR (p < 0.01), and TP53 (p < 0.05) alterations. TMB >10 showed a significant association towards longer overall survival (OS) (HR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.21-0.88, p = 0.02) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.21-0.85, p = 0.02) in patients treated with first-line immunotherapy and tested by Foundation Medicine or Caris at treatment initiation. CONCLUSIONS TMB levels greater than or equal to 10 mut/Mb, when tested by Foundation Medicine or Caris at treatment initiation, were significantly associated with improved OS and PFS among patients treated with first-line immunotherapy-containing regimens. Additional prospective research is warranted to validate this biomarker along with PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Below-knee amputation (BKA) is the safest treatment for benign aggressive and malignant bone tumours of the distal tibia, yielding good oncological and functional results. However, in selected patients where limb salvage is feasible and amputation unacceptable to the patient, limb salvage using a distal tibial replacement (DTR) can be considered. This study aims to present the oncological and functional results of the use of the latter treatment method in our unit. METHODS: A retrospective folder review was performed for all ten patients who received a modular DTR between 1 January 2005 and 31 January 2019 for a primary bone tumour, either benign aggressive or malignant. Six were female and the mean age was 31 (12-75) years. There were five patients with giant cell tumour of bone, four with osteosarcoma and one with a low-grade chondrosarcoma. The patients with osteosarcoma had neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. Function was assessed by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score. RESULTS: Two patients had local recurrence treated with a BKA and one other patient died of metastases three years postoperatively. At a mean follow-up of three years, the remaining eight patients had a mean MSTS score of 83% (67-93%). There were no radiological signs of loosening, and no revision surgeries. CONCLUSION: Endoprosthetic replacement of the distal tibia for primary bone tumours can be a safe treatment option in very selected cases. Level of evidence: Level 4

Abstract
The domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) is a valued companion animal throughout the world. Over 60 different cat breeds are accepted for competition by the cat fancy registries in different countries. Genetic markers, including short tandem repeats and SNPs, are available to evaluate and manage levels of inbreeding and genetic diversity, population and breed structure relationships, and individual identification for forensic and registration purposes. The International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG) hosts the Applied Genetics in Companion Animals Workshop, which supports the standardization of genetic marker panels and genotyping for the identification of cats via comparison testing. SNP panels have been in development for many species, including the domestic cat. An ISAG approved core panel of SNPs for use in cat identification and parentage analyses is presented. SNPs (n = 121) were evaluated by different university-based and commercial laboratories using 20 DNA samples as part of the ISAG comparison testing procedures. Different SNP genotyping technologies were examined, including DNA arrays, genotyping-by-sequencing and mass spectroscopy, to select a robust and efficient panel of 101 SNPs as the ISAG core panel for cats. The SNPs are distributed across all chromosomes including two on the X chromosome and an XY pseudo-autosomal sexing marker (zinc-finger XY; ZFXY). A population study demonstrated that the markers have an average polymorphic information content of 0.354 and a power of exclusion greater than 0.9999. The SNP panel should keep testing affordable while also allowing for the development of additional panels to monitor health, phenotypic traits, hybrid cats and highly inbred cats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is an incurable disease with a poor prognosis. For caregivers of people with glioblastoma, the burden of care can be high. Patients often present with different clinical characteristics, which may impact caregiver burden in different ways. This study aimed to evaluate associations between patient clinical characteristics and caregiver burden/quality of life (QoL). METHODS Caregiver-patient dyads were enrolled at 7 academic cancer centers in the United States. Eligible caregiver participants were self-reported as the primary caregiver of an adult living with glioblastoma and completed a caregiver burden survey. Eligible patients were age ≥ 18 years at glioblastoma diagnosis and alive when their respective caregiver entered the study, with the presence of cognitive dysfunction confirmed by the caregiver. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and multivariable analyses. RESULTS The final cohort included 167 dyads. Poor patient performance status resulted in patient difficulty with mental tasks, more caregiving tasks, and increased caregiving time. Language problems were reported in patients with left-sided lesions. Patient confusion was negatively associated with all caregiver domains: emotional health, social health, general health, ability to work, confidence in finances, and overall QoL. Better caregiver QoL was observed in patients with frontal lobe lesions versus non-frontal lobe lesions. CONCLUSION This study reinforced that patient performance status is a critical clinical factor that significantly affects caregiver burden, caregiving tasks, and caregiver time. Additionally, patient confusion affects multiple facets of caregiver burden/QoL. These results could be used to support guided intervention for caregiver support, customized to the patient experience.

Abstract
e19034 Background: IPSS-R is used to classify risk of disease progression and guide treatment decisions for patients with MDS. Recent data shows mutational profiling may improve the prognostic stratification of MDS. Minimal real-world evidence exists for this population. Methods: A retrospective cohort study assessed real-world, patient-level data from adults diagnosed with MDS between 2010-2019 at HCI. All data were obtained from electronic medical records via chart review. IPSS-R scores were manually calculated from lab and cytogenetic data within 30 days of diagnosis. Patients with an intermediate to very-high IPSS-R score comprised the higher risk (HR) cohort. Primary objectives were to assess treatment patterns & clinical outcomes in the HR cohort. Results: Of the 259 MDS patients at HCI, 90 had an available IPSS-R score at diagnosis (ANC results were missing for 64% of cohort). After excluding clinical trial participants, 65 patients were included. Distribution of IPSS-R scores was: 15% very low (n = 10), 28% low (n = 18), 22% intermediate (n = 14), 23% high (n = 15), & 12% very high (n = 8). The average age of HR subjects was 67 years. 57% of HR patients were female (n = 21), 92% were white (n = 34), 8% (n = 3) had autoimmune disorders, & 8% (n = 3) had cerebrovascular disease. 14% (n = 5) of NGS-tested HR patients had TP53 alterations, while the most frequently altered gene was DNMT3A at 17% (n = 6). In the HR cohort, HMA was used to treat 62% of patients (n = 23) (median 2 cycles), while 27% (n = 10) received no MDS-related medication, and 11% (n = 4) received other MDS-related medications (lenalidomide, ruxolitinib, hydroxyurea). Second-line treatment was received by 9% of HR patients (n = 3). 35% of HR patients (n = 13) underwent stem-cell transplantation. Complete or partial response was achieved by 21% of HR patients treated with a HMA (n = 5); the remaining patients had stable disease (39%, n = 9), disease progression (26%, n = 6), or died (4%, n = 1). Transfusion independence was achieved by 60% of HMA-treated HR patients (n = 3) (median duration = 151 days from treatment initiation). Disease progression or death occurred in 89% of HR patients (n = 33) during the study period with a median progression free survival (PFS) of 8.3 months. PFS was significantly shorter for HR patients with TP53 alterations compared to wild-type (HR: 5.75, 95% CI (1.34-24.64)), using cox regression. Median overall survival for HR patients was 18.8 months. Conclusions: These results show HR patients have a low likelihood of achieving & maintaining complete remission. In addition, limited treatment options for HR patients further reveals a large unmet need. Specific genetic profiles may indicate the need for more aggressive treatments and management of relevant comorbidities. Updated results will be presented, including LR patients & economic outcomes.

Abstract
MAIN PURPOSE Germline BRCA mutations (BRCAm) strongly influence the risk of developing breast cancer. This study aimed to understand the role of BRCAm testing in affected individuals and to assess its impact on the outcome of BRCAm carriers compared to non-carriers (BRCAwt) with breast cancer. RESEARCH QUESTION The research question is "Does standard of care testing for BRCAm improve survival outcomes of breast cancer patients?" METHODS In a single institution observational cohort study, demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between breast cancer patients with and without BRCAm. Frequency of BRCA testing was assessed. Survival outcomes were assessed by initial treatment setting stratified by BRCA status. RESULTS Of 5712 identified women with breast cancer, 14.6% (n = 835) were tested for a BRCA mutation and had a documented result. The total number and proportion of women tested for a BRCAm increased between 2000 and 2014, resulting in an increased number of BRCAm carriers identified. However, the proportion of women who underwent testing and had a BRCAm decreased during the study period from 27.5% in 2000-2004 to 13.3% in 2010-2014. Disease-free survival was similar in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment settings between BRCAm and BRCAwt patients. Progression-free survival on first line treatment and overall survival for patients with metastatic disease was also similar between BRCAm and BRCAwt patients. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of women tested and the number of BRCAm identified increased during the study period despite a decreasing proportion of positive results among women tested.

Abstract
Background Antarctica challenges human explorers by its extreme environment. The effects of these unique conditions on the human physiology need to be understood to best mitigate health problems in Antarctic expedition crews. Moreover, Antarctica is an adequate Earth-bound analogue for long-term space missions. To date, its effects on human physiology have been studied mainly in male cohorts though more female expeditioners and applicants in astronaut training programs are selected. Therefore, the identification of sex differences in stress and immune reactions are becoming an even more essential aim to provide a more individualized risk management. Methods Ten female and 16 male subjects participated in three 1-year expeditions to the German Antarctic Research Station Neumayer III. Blood, saliva, and urine samples were taken 1–2 months prior to departure, subsequently every month during their expedition, and 3–4 months after return from Antarctica. Analyses included cortisol, catecholamine and endocannabinoid measurements; psychological evaluation; differential blood count; and recall antigen- and mitogen-stimulated cytokine profiles. Results Cortisol showed significantly higher concentrations in females than males during winter whereas no enhanced psychological stress was detected in both sexes. Catecholamine excretion was higher in males than females but never showed significant increases compared to baseline. Endocannabinoids and N-acylethanolamides increased significantly in both sexes and stayed consistently elevated during the confinement. Cytokine profiles after in vitro stimulation revealed no sex differences but resulted in significant time-dependent changes. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were significantly higher in males than females, and hemoglobin increased significantly in both sexes compared to baseline. Platelet counts were significantly higher in females than males. Leukocytes and granulocyte concentrations increased during confinement with a dip for both sexes in winter whereas lymphocytes were significantly elevated in both sexes during the confinement. Conclusions The extreme environment of Antarctica seems to trigger some distinct stress and immune responses but—with the exception of cortisol and blood cell counts—without any major relevant sex-specific differences. Stated sex differences were shown to be independent of enhanced psychological stress and seem to be related to the environmental conditions. However, sources and consequences of these sex differences have to be further elucidated.

Abstract
16 Background: GBM is a largely incurable, highly aggressive cancer with high incidence of CD. Caregivers face heightened stress with loved one’s limited life expectancy and additional duties. To better understand this unique group, a survey tool was developed to examine effect of CD on caregiver burden. Methods: Four of 10 planned academic centers are enrolling towards achieving 200+ completed surveys. The survey was developed step-wise: 1) literature review of primary brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia to identify domains; 2) focus groups with neurooncologists and American Brain Tumor Association advocates to narrow domains; 3) caregiver interviews to verify selected domains; 4) single-site pilot study to confirm content (n=20). Dyads with caregiver survey and respective patient’s clinical data are created as possible. Results: Complete data from 31 caregivers and 28 dyads enrolled at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah and University of California, Los Angeles are currently available. Response rate was 88% for caregivers and 90% for patients. Among caregivers, 87% were patient spouse/partner, 84% female, average age 56 years, 42% currently employed, 32% have no additional help, and 26% are primary caregivers for others. Patients were male (74%), average age 59 years, not working (84%), and being treated for initial diagnosis (67%). Proportion of caregivers performing ≥ 1 caregiving task, i.e. meal preparation, doubled from before to after diagnosis (48% vs. 97%). The majority of caregivers (90%) perceived memory problems in a loved one over last 14 days. Trouble remembering recent events or things interfered with 71% of caregivers’ daily life "somewhat", "quite a bit", or "very much". When ranking effect of CD on caregiver’s general quality of life on a scale of 0 (none) to 10 (significant), 60% and 23% of caregivers indicated ≥ 5 and ≥ 8, respectively. Caregivers’ responses to survey satisfaction questions showed only 23% feel enough is being done to understand caregiving in GBM and 76% were satisfied overall with the survey. Conclusions: Caregivers are affected daily and significantly by GBM-related CD. Results will be updated at time of presentation.

Abstract
Background Genetic counseling by a Genetic Counselor (GC) is a requirement prior to genetic testing for cancer susceptibility genes (GC-mandate policy) for some insurers. This study evaluated the impact of this policy from the patient perspective. Methods Surveys were sent to individuals for whom their insurer ordered genetic testing for the cancer susceptibility genes BCRA1 and BRCA2 over a 1 year time period that spanned the introduction of a GC-mandate policy. Responses were assessed by time period (before/after policy introduction) and genetic test completion. Results The surveys were completed by 1247/4950 (25.7%) eligible individuals. After policy introduction, there was no change in the proportion of respondents who completed genetic testing (p = 0.13) or had a mutation (p = 0.55). Overall decisional conflict (uncertainty or feeling uninformed) around genetic testing did not change after policy introduction (p = 0.16), but was significantly higher among respondents who did not complete genetic testing (p < 0.01). Although a larger proportion of respondents saw a GC after policy introduction (p < 0.01), fewer did so to better understand their test results (p < 0.01). The proportion of respondents who did not see a GC due to insurance issues/requirements and time restraints was higher among those tested after policy introduction or who did not complete genetic testing (p < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, respondents with a household income of $25,000 or greater were 3-times more likely to complete testing. Conclusions A GC-mandate policy did not improve decisional conflict or increase the number of deleterious mutations identified and low-income respondents were less likely to complete testing. On the contrary, insurance requirements and time constraints may be preventing individuals at risk from receiving appropriate testing.

Abstract
Comparative phylogeography of African savannah mammals shows a congruent pattern in which populations in West/Central Africa are distinct from populations in East/Southern Africa. However, for the lion, all African populations are currently classified as a single subspecies (Panthera leo leo), while the only remaining population in Asia is considered to be distinct (Panthera leo persica). This distinction is disputed both by morphological and genetic data. In this study we introduce the lion as a model for African phylogeography. Analyses of mtDNA sequences reveal six supported clades and a strongly supported ancestral dichotomy with northern populations (West Africa, Central Africa, North Africa/Asia) on one branch, and southern populations (North East Africa, East/Southern Africa and South West Africa) on the other. We review taxonomies and phylogenies of other large savannah mammals, illustrating that similar clades are found in other species. The described phylogeographic pattern is considered in relation to large scale environmental changes in Africa over the past 300,000 years, attributable to climate. Refugial areas, predicted by climate envelope models, further confirm the observed pattern. We support the revision of current lion taxonomy, as recognition of a northern and a southern subspecies is more parsimonious with the evolutionary history of the lion.

Abstract
Tissue barriers function as "gate keepers" between different compartments (usually blood and tissue) and are formed by specialised membrane-associated proteins, localising to the apicolateral plasma membrane domain of epithelial and endothelial cells. By sealing the paracellular space, the free diffusion of solutes and molecules across epithelia and endothelia is impeded. Thereby, tissue barriers contribute to the establishment and maintenance of a distinct internal and external environment, which is crucial during organ development and allows maintenance of an organ-specific homeostatic milieu. So far, various epithelial and endothelial tissue barriers have been described, including the blood-brain barrier, the blood-retina barrier, the blood-testis barrier, the blood-placenta barrier, and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-brain barrier, which are vital for physiological function and any disturbance of these barriers can result in severe organ damage or even death. Here, we describe the identification of a novel barrier, located in the vascular bed of tendons, which we term the blood-tendon barrier (BTB). By using immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and tracer studies we demonstrate the presence of a functional endothelial barrier within tendons restricting the passage of large blood-borne molecules into the surrounding tendon tissue. We further provide in vitro evidence that the BTB potentially contributes to the creation of a distinct internal tissue environment impacting upon the proliferation and differentiation of tendon-resident cells, effects which might be fundamental for the onset of tendon pathologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pain is frequent in elderly people and, especially if widespread, associated with poor mental health. We investigated whether a resilient personality protects older adults against the adverse effects of chronic pain. METHODS Pain status [no pain, chronic local pain (CLP) and chronic widespread pain (CWP)] was determined using the American College of Rheumatologists' criteria for widespread pain in a cross-sectional sample of 724 participants aged 68-92 years drawn from the population-based KORA-Age study in Southern Germany. Depressive symptoms and resilience were assessed via the scales GDS-15 and RS-5. The relation between pain, resilience and depressive symptoms was modelled using logistic and quantile regression. RESULTS CLP prevalence and CWP prevalence were 57.5% and 12.3%, respectively. Confounder-adjusted logistic regression indicated a fourfold risk of depressed mood (GDS-15 ≥ 5) in CWP, vs. no pain (OR = 4.08, 95% CI 1.90-8.74). However, in quantile regression, the adverse effect of CWP was significantly attenuated by resilience when looking at the GDS-15 score lower quartile (p = 0.011) and median (p = 0.011). This effect appeared to be mainly driven by participants aged 75-84 years. Confounder adjustment reduced the effect of CLP on depressive symptoms to non-significance, and effect modification by resilience was undetectable in regression models of CLP. CONCLUSIONS Resilience was protective in the association of CWP with depressive symptoms in this analysis. Older adults with CWP may potentially benefit from interventions supporting resilience. Prospective research should investigate the protective role of resilience in the potentially self-perpetuating relation between chronic pain and depressed affect. WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD?: The association of chronic widespread pain with depressive symptoms in the elderly population is attenuated by resilience.

Abstract
Retrospective review of imatinib monitoring through electronic health records (EHR) can provide valuable insight into the current management of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). This study retrospectively reviewed EHRs from 2001 to 2010 of patients with chronic phase CML (CP-CML) treated with first-line imatinib. Chart evaluations included a review of cytogenetic and molecular testing, overall survival, adverse drug events (ADEs), and therapy modifications. A total of 54 patients with CP-CML were treated with first-line imatinib and had either cytogenetic or molecular testing within 18 months of imatinib initiation. Within the first 18 months of treatment, 33 of 45 patients (73%) undergoing cytogenetic testing experienced a complete cytogenetic response (median, 241 days; range, 110-542 days) and 24 of 48 patients (50%) receiving molecular testing achieved at least a major molecular response (median, 253 days; range, 99-546 days). The average number of cytogenetic and molecular tests conducted within the first 18 months was 2.5 and 3.8, respectively. Nineteen of 54 (35%) had a dose increase of imatinib (>400 mg; median, 329 days; range, 21-1968 days). The 5-year estimated overall survival rate was 88.5%. Between 2006 and 2010 (n=30; 56%), 7 patients (23%) transitioned to dasatinib or nilotinib (median, 399 days from diagnosis; range, 180-1046 days) because of suboptimal response or treatment failure (n=5) and imatinib ADEs (n=2). Forty-six imatinib-associated ADEs occurred in 31 patients (57%), of which 10 (32%) received dose reductions (median, 52 days) and 6 (19%) had discontinuations (median, 139 days). Closely monitored patients with CML treated with imatinib at an NCCN Member Institution experienced outcomes comparable to those reported in key clinical trials.

Abstract
Context Determining human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is critical for the management of early-stage breast cancer (ESBC). An understanding of HER2 testing practices can provide insight into how test results influence the use of HER2-directed therapy. Objective To assess HER2 testing, HER2+ disease, and HER2-directed therapy in ESBC at the Huntsman Cancer Institute before and after the 2007 American Society of Clinical Oncology and College of American Pathologist (ASCO/CAP) guidelines on HER2 testing were published. Methods Patients were identified from an institutional tumor registry. HER2 testing patterns and results were examined using a chart review of pathology and clinical notes. Patient characteristics, HER2+ rate, and trastuzumab use were evaluated descriptively. Discordance rate with reflex testing (immunohistochemistry [IHC]2+ retested by fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH]) was also evaluated. Results A total of 1,459 women were included (mean age: 57 years). The rate of HER2+ disease was 17% (number [N] =245). The discordance rate between IHC2+ and FISH was 10%. After the 2007 ASCO/CAP guidelines, fewer tumors were classified as IHC3+ (16% post- versus 21.9% pre-2007), more tumors were characterized as IHC2+ (26.4% post- versus 20.7% pre-2007), and the overall HER2+ rate was decreased (18.7% versus 21.9%), but this was not statistically significant (P=0.519). Most patients with HER2+ ESBC received HER2-targeted therapy (N=185). Conclusion The HER2+ rate was 17% and within the range of the reported rates in the literature. Reflex testing identified additional HER2+ tumors by approximately 10%, and should be considered a potential quality indicator. ASCO/CAP HER2 testing guidelines in 2007 appeared to impact the interpretation and classification of HER2+ tumors.

Abstract
124 Background: Improved outcomes with HER2-directed therapies highlight the importance of standardized testing for HER2 positivity. This study aimed to assess HER2 testing practices, rate of HER2+ disease, and trastuzumab use in early breast cancer (EBC) at the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) a National Cancer Institute-Designated Center and member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Methods: Included patients’ records from the HCI electronic data warehouse (EDW) and the HCI tumor registry were female, age ≥ 18 years, ≥ 2 visits in the EDW and a stage I to IIIa EBC diagnosis from 2005 to 2012. HER2 testing patterns were identified through chart review of pathology and clinical notes in the EDW. HER2+ was defined as either FISH+ or IHC3+. Patient characteristics, HER2+ rate, and trastuzumab use were evaluated descriptively. Discordance rate associated with reflex testing (IHC 2+ retested by FISH) was also evaluated. Results: A total of 1,459 women were included with stage I (49%, n=720), IIa (26%, n=374), IIb (14%, n=197), and IIIa (12%, n=168) EBC. Mean age was 57 years. HER2+ disease was identified in 243 (17%) tumors. Of HER2+ tumors, 104 (43%) were ER+/PR+, 33 (14%) ER+/PR-, 1 (<1%) ER-/PR+, 79 (32%) ER-/PR-, and 26 (11%) unknown. Tumors were first tested for HER2 using: 1,192 (82%) IHC, 36 (3%) FISH, 227 (15%) unknown and 4 (<1%) other tests. First IHC results were scored 0 (23%), 1+ (33%), 2+ (26%), 3+ (17%), and unknown (<1%). Reflex testing within one month was performed in 301/308 (98%) of IHC 2+ tumors. The discordance rate of IHC/FISH was 10%. Trastuzumab was prescribed for 184/243 (76%) women whose tumors were considered HER2+ based on final interpretation and in 1 HER2 equivocal tumor. Documented reasons for lack of trastuzumab use in HER2+ patients (n=59) included low risk of recurrence based on stage or other treatments (n=18), loss to follow-up (n=13), unknown (n=11), not clinically appropriate due to age or comorbidity (n=10), and patient declined (n=7). Conclusions: This is one of few cancer registries assessing the rate of HER2+ disease in EBC. Reflex testing identified additional HER2+ tumors. The HER2+ rate was within range of previously published studies.

Abstract
SUMMARY
The following parameters were varied: 1) irradiation technique: top and bottom polymerization according to the ISO standard, and polymerization from only the top, simulating clinical situations; 2) polymerization time: 5, 10, 20, and 40 seconds; 3) storage conditions: 24 hours in distilled water, thermocycling followed by storage for four weeks in artificial saliva or alcohol. Flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (Eflexural), indentation modulus (E), Vickers hardness (HV), and degree of conversion (DC) were measured.
The laboratory results were similar to those measured by mimicking clinical conditions only at high polymerization times and mild storage conditions (20 seconds and 40 seconds and storage for 24 hours in water, and 40 seconds with aging and storing in saliva). Significantly higher DC values were measured on the top than on the bottom of a 2-mm layer for all polymerization times. Overall, 5-second and 10-second irradiation times induced significantly lower DC values compared to the currently recommended polymerization times of 20 and 40 seconds at both the top and bottom of the samples.
The initial DC differences as a function of irradiation time are leveled at 24 hours of storage but seem to do well in predicting long-term material behavior. A minimum irradiation time of 20 seconds is necessary clinically to achieve the best mechanical properties with modern high-intensity light emitting diode (LED) units.

Abstract
6583 Background: Monitoring tolerability and response to imatinib (IM) is an important aspect of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) management. The objective of this study is to assess real-world tolerability and response monitoring in IM treated CML patients (pts). Methods: A comprehensive retrospective outcomes research registry of CML pts was created from the University of Utah electronic health record system. Study inclusion was limited to pts diagnosed with CML in chronic phase in 2001 to 2010 and treated with IM as a first-line therapy. Utilization and outcome of cytogenetic and molecular testing within 18 months of IM initiation, rates of adverse drug events (ADEs), and therapy modifications were evaluated by chart review. Results: A total of 92 pts were treated with IM as first-line therapy. Within the first 18 months of treatment, cytogenetic testing was recorded in 45 pts (49%) and of these 33 pts (73%) achieved a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) in a median of 241 days (range: 110-542); molecular testing was completed in 48 pts (52%) and of these 24 pts (50%) achieved at least a major molecular response (MMR) in a median of 254 days (range: 99-546). Imatinib associated ADEs of any grade (n = 60) occurred in 42 (46%) pts resulting in dose reductions in 15 pts (36%) in a median of 77 days and discontinuation of IM occurred in 9 (21%) pts in a median of 130 days. The IM dose was increased to >400 mg in 21 (23%) pts in a median of 457 days (range: 21-2112). Of pts diagnosed between 2006 to 2010 (n = 34; 37%), 8 (25%) pts transitioned to dasatinib or nilotinib in a median of 397 days (range: 147 to 1057). Reasons for therapy change included physician documented suboptimal response or treatment failure (n = 5) and ADEs to IM (n = 3). Conclusions: Utilization of cytogenetic and molecular testing within 18 months of IM initiation was lower than the National Comprehensive Cancer Network or European LeukemiaNet CML guidelines would suggest. Further research is warranted to understand limited response monitoring and outcomes in non-monitored pts. The ADE rate was similar to clinical trial data. The impact of ADEs on subsequent treatment and outcomes in CML pts deserves further study.

Abstract
The German S3 Guideline on Treatment of Polytrauma/Severely Injured Patients characterizes key recommendations on the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach in concomitant thoracic and abdominal trauma based on the available scientific data. The special requirements for appropriate basic treatment can be derived for rural hospitals, even though the particular grade of recommendation often is low because evidence-based studies are still lacking.The options for adequate basic treatment of thoracic and abdominal trauma in patients with multiple injuries treated in rural hospitals substantially depend on the dedication, the level of experience and training, and the willingness of the locally responsible team to cooperate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insufficient nutrition in surgical patients increases perioperative morbidity, mortality, length of stay and therapy costs. Therefore, guidelines declare the integration of nutrition into the overall management as one of the key aspects of perioperative care. This study was conducted to evaluate the current clinical practice of clinical nutrition in surgical departments in Germany. METHODS In 2009 German Surgical Society (DGCH) members in leading positions were surveyed with a standardised online questionnaire concerning their perioperative nutritional routines in elective surgery. RESULTS From the addressed physicians n = 156 (6.24 %) answered. Of those, 86.9 % consider the nutritional status of their patients. Only 6 % use standardised nutritional screening tools. Short preoperative fasting for solid and liquid food is practiced by 65 % and 40 %, respectively. After the operation, 65 % allow intake of clear fluids on the day of surgery and 78 % initiate solid food on the day of surgery or the first postoperative day. Oral nutritional supplements are given only "sometimes" or "rarely" by 53.9 % of the respondents. CONCLUSION The low response rate may imply the dilemma that the evidence-based benefit of perioperative nutrition does not meet sufficient interest. Even in case of a positive selection of "pro-nutrition respondents", standardised preoperative malnutrition screening is also rare. Aspects such as shorter perioperative fasting are already practiced more progressively. However, still greater efforts are needed to promote guideline-based clinical nutrition in surgical care in Germany.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Quality of life is of vital importance for patients undergoing surgery. However, little is known about the quality of life of surgeons who are facing a stressful and dramatically changing working environment. For this reason, this large scale study investigated the quality of life (QL) of surgeons in Germany in the context of occupational, private, and system-related risk factors with a standardized QL measurement instrument. METHODS The study population consisted of attendees (surgeons, non-surgical physicians, medical students) of the nine major annual conferences of the German Society of Surgery between 2008 and 2009. Participants filled in a single questionnaire including study-specific questions (demographic variables, professional position, and occupational situation) and a standardized quality of life instrument. Surgeons' responses with regard to their professional situation and their quality of life were contrasted with those of the two controls (non-surgical physicians, i. e. orthopedics, pediatrics, gastroenterologists and medical students). Furthermore, QL scores were compared with German population reference data and with reference data of several patient groups. RESULTS 3652 individuals (2991 surgeons, 561 non-surgical physicians, 100 medical students) participated in this study. 68 % of the surgeons but only 39 % of the non-surgeons worked more than 60 hours per week on average. Surgeons reported restrictions on their private and family life due to work overload, more so than non-surgeons (74 % vs. 59 %). Responses to the PLC quality of life questionnaire confirmed these results, showing score values lower than those of the German population reference data and of several patient groups. CONCLUSION The time has come for surgeons to consider their own quality of life, as this is a main issue in their scientific and clinical work with patients.

Abstract
Due to logistic, organizational and economic advantages, interdisciplinary emergency centers are gaining more and more acceptance compared to established, discipline-specific and independent emergency rooms. Organizational concepts for interdisciplinary emergency centers need to consider the mandate for comprehensive patient care and the consequential performance spectrum. Thus, the implementation of generally accepted guidelines and specifications is demanding.Currently developed concepts of the accordant interdisciplinary working groups try to fulfill these premises. Further fundamental criteria to be met are the quality and education of medical and nursing staff, which are predominantly doing their jobs within the interdisciplinary emergency centers. The concept of the German surgical societies and connected organizations is not the implementation of a new definition of the role of emergency specialized physicians but rather a substantial advancement of the existing and established regulations for further education. Therefore, a further advanced-training program for clinical emergency medicine has to be implemented in addition to the existing emergency education within the common trunk, which every physician has to pass through during discipline-specific education. Furthermore, this program should complement the existing pre-clinical emergency education, which can be acquired after specialization.The accordant criteria to be developed and the coordination with the German Medical Association (Bundesärztekammer) are currently prioritized on the agenda of the interdisciplinary working group. Due to reasons of compatibility with the regulations for further education, specific management skills for future heads and directors of such interdisciplinary emergency centers should not be stipulated within the advanced-training program for clinical emergency medicine but should be gained through specific course concepts beyond this program.
