Abstract
Abstract
Background: Prior, retrospective analysis of nightly fasting among women with breast cancer suggests that fasting less than 13 hours per night may be associated with higher risk of breast cancer recurrence. Small studies suggest that fasting duration can influence inflammation, obesity, sleep, and other potential mediators of breast cancer recurrence risk. Prolonged overnight fasting is a simple, nonpharmacological behavioral intervention strategy that may be doable for most patients. We designed this pilot study to prospectively evaluate the feasibility of prolonged overnight fasting among breast cancer survivors. Methods: We designed a single-arm, pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of fasting for 13 hours overnight for a 12-week period among women with a history of early stage breast cancer (I to III) who had completed initial cancer therapy at least 6 months prior. Baseline and end of study assessments included measurements of body mass index (BMI), quality of life (QOL) (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G)), mood (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)), fatigue (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Fatigue), levels of physical activity (Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire), and blood biomarkers (expanded lipid profile, hemoglobin A1c, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, leptin, adiponectin). Patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys were also administered at 6 weeks. Feasibility was defined as ≥ 60% of participants documenting fasting in the food diary for 13 hours on at least 70% of nights during the study period. Changes in study measures from baseline were evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Results: Between July 2020 and January 2021, we enrolled 40 women with a history of breast cancer. Participants had a median age of 59.9 (range 34.9-76.3) and median time since diagnosis was 4.5 years (range 0.8-20.7). At baseline, BMI was normal (18.5-24.9) in 40.0%, overweight (25-29.9) in 37.5%, and obese (≥30) in 22.5%. Forty-two and a half percent had Stage I cancer, 42.5% stage II, and 15.0% stage III. Sixty-five percent were on hormonal therapy. Ninety-five percent of participants fasted ≥ 13 hours for at least 70% of study days (95% CI 83%-99%). At 6 weeks, there was a statistically significant improvement in anxiety (p=.0007). No other significant changes were seen in PROs. At 12 weeks, there were statistically significant improvements in BMI (p=.0072), anxiety (p=.0141), depression (p=.0048), and fatigue (p=.0105). There was no association between change in BMI during the study and baseline BMI category, age, or endocrine therapy. There was no significant change in overall QOL, physical activity levels, or blood biomarkers at 12 weeks. Conclusions: Prolonged overnight fasting is feasible in the breast cancer population and may improve BMI, mood, and fatigue without a detrimental effect on overall QOL. The data from this study support the need for a larger, longer randomized study of prolonged overnight fasting in the breast cancer population to further evaluate the effects on body composition, mood, QOL, metabolic markers, and risk of recurrence.

Abstract
AIMS Gulf War Illness (GWI), a chronic debilitating disorder characterized by fatigue, joint pain, cognitive, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and skin problems, is currently diagnosed by self-reported symptoms. The Boston Biorepository, Recruitment, and Integrative Network (BBRAIN) is the collaborative effort of expert Gulf War Illness (GWI) researchers who are creating objective diagnostic and pathobiological markers and recommend common data elements for GWI research. MAIN METHODS BBRAIN is recruiting 300 GWI cases and 200 GW veteran controls for the prospective study. Key data and biological samples from prior GWI studies are being merged and combined into retrospective datasets. They will be made available for data mining by the BBRAIN network and the GWI research community. Prospective questionnaire data include general health and chronic symptoms, demographics, measures of pain, fatigue, medical conditions, deployment and exposure histories. Available repository biospecimens include blood, plasma, serum, saliva, stool, urine, human induced pluripotent stem cells and cerebrospinal fluid. KEY FINDINGS To date, multiple datasets have been merged and combined from 15 participating study sites. These data and samples have been collated and an online request form for repository requests as well as recommended common data elements have been created. Data and biospecimen sample requests are reviewed by the BBRAIN steering committee members for approval as they are received. SIGNIFICANCE The BBRAIN repository network serves as a much needed resource for GWI researchers to utilize for identification and validation of objective diagnostic and pathobiological markers of the illness.

Abstract
PURPOSE Actionable mutations can guide genotype-directed matched therapy. We evaluated the utility of tissue-based and plasma-based genotyping for the identification of actionable mutations and selection of matched therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with MBC who underwent tissue genotyping (institutional platform, 91-gene assay) or plasma-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA, Guardant360, 73-gene assay) between January 2016 and December 2017 were included. A chart review of records to identify subtype, demographics, treatment, outcomes, and tissue genotyping or cfDNA results was performed. The incidence of actionable mutations and the selection of matched therapy in tissue genotyping or cfDNA cohorts was determined. The impact of matched therapy status on overall survival (OS) in tissue genotyping or cfDNA subgroups was determined with Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Of 252 patients who underwent cfDNA testing, 232 (92%) had detectable mutations, 196 (78%) had actionable mutations, and 86 (34%) received matched therapy. Of 118 patients who underwent tissue genotyping, 90 (76%) had detectable mutations, 59 (50%) had actionable mutations, and 13 (11%) received matched therapy. For cfDNA patients with actionable mutations, matched versus nonmatched therapy was associated with better OS [HR 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.23-0.73, P = 0.002], and this remained significant in a multivariable analysis correcting for age, subtype, visceral metastases, and brain metastases (HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.26-0.83, P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Plasma-based genotyping identified high rates of actionable mutations, which was associated with significant application of matched therapy and better OS in patients with MBC.See related commentary by Rugo and Huppert, p. 3275.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Metastatic triple negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is often associated with aggressive biology, particularly in younger women. We hypothesized that the tumor genomic profile might vary based on age. The primary objective of this study was to compare the genomic profile, utilizing plasma-based targeted sequencing of common cancer related genes, in patients ≤45 years and >45 years with mTNBC. The age cut-off of ≤ 45 was selected based on prior literature in TNBC using a similar cut-off for younger age stratification (Dolle, 2009).
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with mTNBC who had cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis (next generation sequencing, Guardant360®, 73 gene panel) collected at an academic institution after mTNBC diagnosis as part of clinical care from 1/2016-10/2019 was conducted. Patient age, demographics, and genotyping results were collected. Clinical and genomic characteristics were compared for patients ≤45 and >45 using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (continuous variables) and Pearson’s chi-squared test (categorical variables). Results:Of 74 patients with mTNBC and cfDNA results available, 17 were ≤45 years (median age 39 at mTNBC diagnosis), and 57 were > 45 years (median age 58). In comparing patients ≤45 years with those > 45 years, similar rates of de novo disease (≤45: 24%, >45: 9%, p=0.10), visceral disease (≤45: 65%, >45: 67%, p=0.88), and median number of prior lines of chemotherapy (≤45: 2, > 45: 1, p=0.49) were observed. The percentage of patients with more than 1 detectable mutation (≤45: 94%, >45: 93%, p=0.87), and median number of detected mutations (≤45: 5, >45: 4, p=0.67) was similar between groups. However, the median mutant allele fraction (MAF; maximum) was significantly higher in patients ≤45 (≤45: median 29.8%; >45: median 4.6%, p=0.006), and this finding remained significant after correcting for number of prior therapies. Table 1 depicts the mutation spectrum. While TP53 mutations were commonly seen in both cohorts, the median TP53 MAF was significantly higher in patients ≤45 years (≤45: 29.8%, >45: 4.0%, p=0.015). PTEN mutations were found in a portion of patients >45, but not identified in those ≤45 years. Amplifications in MYC, BRAF, PI3KCA, AR, CDK6, EGFR, MET, KIT, and CCND2 were seen more often in those ≤45 years, although these findings did not reach statistical significance. Survival outcomes will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusions:Patients with mTNBC diagnosed at ≤45 years had a significantly higher cfDNA MAF than those >45, likely reflecting higher detectable tumor genomic burden. Mutations often associated with aggressive biology such as MYC, MET, and EGFR were more commonly found in patients ≤45, but the small sample size and limited statistical power makes it difficult to draw strong conclusions about differences in individual genes in this study. Further research with a larger multi-center cohort is ongoing to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab and carboplatin in patients with breast cancer brain metastases. METHODS We enrolled patients with breast cancer and > 1 measurable new or progressive brain metastasis. Patients received bevacizumab 15 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on cycle 1 day 1 and carboplatin IV AUC = 5 on cycle 1 day 8. Patients with HER2-positive disease also received trastuzumab. In subsequent cycles, all drugs were administered on day 1 of each cycle. Contrast-enhanced brain MRI was performed at baseline, 24-96 h after the first bevacizumab dose (day + 1), and every 2 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate in the central nervous system (CNS ORR) by composite criteria. Associations between germline VEGF single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs699947, rs2019063, rs1570360, rs833061) and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were explored, as were associations between early (day + 1) MRI changes and outcomes. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients were enrolled (29 HER2-positive, 9 HER2-negative); all were evaluable for response. The CNS ORR was 63% (95% CI, 46-78). Median PFS was 5.62 months and median OS was 14.10 months. As compared with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0, patients with ECOG PS 1-2 had significantly worse PFS and OS (all P < 0.01). No significant associations between VEGF genotypes or early MRI changes and clinical outcomes were observed. CONCLUSIONS The combination of bevacizumab and carboplatin results in a high rate of durable objective response in patients with brain metastases from breast cancer. This regimen warrants further investigation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01004172 . Registered 28 October 2009.

Abstract
PURPOSE Plasma genotyping may identify mutations in potentially "actionable" cancer genes, such as BRCA1/2, but their clinical significance is not well-defined. We evaluated the characteristics of somatically acquired BRCA1/2 mutations in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with MBC undergoing routine cell-free DNA (cfDNA) next-generation sequencing (73-gene panel) before starting a new therapy were included. Somatic BRCA1/2 mutations were classified as known germline pathogenic mutations or novel variants, and linked to clinicopathologic characteristics. The effect of the PARP inhibitor, olaparib, was assessed in vitro, using cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from a patient with a somatically acquired BRCA1 mutation and a second patient with an acquired BRCA2 mutation. RESULTS Among 215 patients with MBC, 29 (13.5%) had somatic cfDNA BRCA1/2 mutations [nine (4%) known germline pathogenic and rest (9%) novel variants]. Known germline pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutations were common in younger patients (P = 0.008), those with triple-negative disease (P = 0.022), and they were more likely to be protein-truncating alterations and be associated with TP53 mutations. Functional analysis of a CTC culture harboring a somatic BRCA1 mutation demonstrated high sensitivity to PARP inhibition, while another CTC culture harboring a somatic BRCA2 mutation showed no differential sensitivity. Across the entire cohort, APOBEC mutational signatures (COSMIC Signatures 2 and 13) and the "BRCA" mutational signature (COSMIC Signature 3) were present in BRCA1/2-mutant and wild-type cases, demonstrating the high mutational burden associated with advanced MBC. CONCLUSIONS Somatic BRCA1/2 mutations are readily detectable in MBC by cfDNA analysis, and may be present as both known germline pathogenic and novel variants.

Abstract
1094 Background: The genomics of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who develop brain metastases (BM) is not well understood given the difficulty in obtaining brain tumor for genotyping. We compared tumor genotyping results via cell-free DNA (cfDNA) collected at MBC diagnosis in patients who developed BM after MBC diagnosis with those who did not develop BM (non-BM). Methods: Patients at an academic institution who had cfDNA testing (Guardant 360/Next generation sequencing, 73 gene assay) at MBC diagnosis between 1/2016-12/2017, with ≥ 6 months of follow-up post testing, were identified. A chart review was done to identify tumor subtype, demographics, cfDNA results, and development of BM at or after MBC diagnosis. Pearson’s chi-squared and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to determine differences in clinical and cfDNA characteristics in BM vs. non-BM (p<0.05 for statistical significance). Results: CfDNA results were available for 49 patients, of whom 13 (27%) developed BM (4 with BM at MBC diagnosis). The median time to BM development was 11 months. While patients with BM were younger at MBC diagnosis than non-BM (median age BM 53 vs. non-BM 61, p=0.05), they had similar subtype (BM vs. non-BM: HR+/HER2- 62% vs. 69%, HER2+ 8% vs. 14%, TNBC 23% vs. 17%, unknown 8% vs. 0%, p=0.3), de-novo vs. recurrent disease (BM vs. non-BM: de-novo 8% vs. 14%, recurrent 92% vs. 86%, p=0.6), and visceral disease (BM vs. non-BM: 77% vs. 56%, p=0.2) distributions. All patients with BM had ≥1 detectable cfDNA mutation vs. 88% of non-BM. While the median mutant allele frequency of the most common mutation was similar in BM vs. non-BM (2.4% vs. 3.7%, p=0.5), the mutation pattern varied. Patients with BM more often had mutations in BRCA1 (15% vs. 3%, p=0.1), APC (15% vs. 0%, p=0.02), and CDKN2A (15% vs. 0%, p=0.02), compared to non-BM. In 4 patients with BM at MBC diagnosis, mutations in APC (50%), CDKN2A (50%), and BRCA 1/2 (25%) were noted; 1 had coexisting APC and BRCA1/2 mutations and another had coexisting APC and CDKN2A mutations. Conclusions: Patients with MBC who develop BM may have different cfDNA genomics, particularly BRCA1, APC, and CDKN2A mutations. Further research is needed to determine the predictive value of cfDNA at MBC diagnosis in the identification of patients at higher risk of developing BM. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BM in MBC patients cause significant morbidity and mortality. BRCA1 germline mutations have previously been shown to be associated with an increased risk of developing BM (Lee et al, 2011), with an incidence as high as 15% (Zavitsanos et al, 2016). We previously reported that a subset of MBC patients may have somatic BRCA mutations in the absence of germline BRCA mutations (Vidula N, SABCS, 2017). In this study, we evaluated the incidence and clinical characteristics of BM in MBC patients with somatic BRCA mutations detected by cfDNA.
Methods: MBC patients with somatic BRCA1 or 2 mutations detected by cfDNA (Guardant360TM, next generation sequencing, 73 gene panel; mutations classified as somatic by Guardant360TM) with at least 4 months of follow-up post-testing at an academic institution were identified. From this cohort, we identified patients who developed BM post cfDNA testing. A retrospective review of medical records and Guardant360TM reports was conducted to identify demographics, tumor subtype, type of cfDNA BRCA mutation, whether the BRCA mutation was known to be pathogenic, germline BRCA mutation status, mutant allele fraction (MAF), clonality (MAF ratio of BRCA mutation/gene mutation with highest MAF ≥ 0.25 for clonal, and <0.25 for subclonal) and the coexisting genomic environment. Clinical and genomic features of BM and non-BM patients (patients without BM) were compared using a chi-squared test for categorical variables and Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables. Brain tumor tissue from available cases of BM patients was used to evaluate somatic BRCA mutation status on the tumor tissue and correlated with cfDNA results.
Results: Of 36 MBC patients with somatic BRCA mutations, 9 (25%) developed BM and 27 (75%) did not have BM (non-BM). The median time to development of BM was 6.7 months after cfDNA testing. Of the BM patients, 5 (56%) had triple-negative (TN) and 4 (44%) had hormone receptor positive (HR+)/HER2- MBC in comparison with the non-BM cases where 5 (19%) had TN, 19 (70%) had HR+/HER2-, and 3 (11%) had HER2+ MBC. Very few patients (1 BM and 2 non-BM) had known co-existing separate germline BRCA mutations (rest not known BRCA carriers confirmed by negative germline testing and/or absence of family history suggestive of a germline BRCA phenotype). The median age at MBC diagnosis was similar for BM and non-BM patients (57 years). PIK3CA and TP53 mutations were commonly seen in both BM and non-BM cases. Additionally, MYC, EGFR, and CCNE1 mutations were commonly seen in BM cases. As outlined in Table 1, among patients with BM, the somatic BRCA mutations were commonly BRCA1, clonal, known to be pathogenic (56%), and present at a higher MAF, but these findings did not reach statistical significance possibly due to the small sample size. Brain tumor tissue mutation status in BM patients and correlation with cfDNA results will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusions: We observed a relatively high incidence (25%) of BM in MBC patients with somatic BRCA mutations detectable by cfDNA, which were often known to be pathogenic mutations (56%), and often associated with co-existing MYC, EGFR, and CCNE1 mutations. Further research using a larger cohort with adequate statistical power is needed to validate these findings, and may help identify MBC patients at risk for BM using a liquid biopsy.

Abstract
PURPOSE While FGFR1 amplification has been described in breast cancer, the optimal treatment approach for FGFR1-amplified (FGFR1+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains undefined.Experimental Design: We evaluated clinical response to endocrine and targeted therapies in a cohort of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2- MBC and validated the functional role of FGFR1-amplification in mediating response/resistance to hormone therapy in vitro. RESULTS In the clinical cohort (N = 110), we identified that patients with FGFR1+ tumors were more likely to have progesterone receptor (PR)-negative disease (47% vs. 20%; P = 0.005), coexisting TP53 mutations (41% vs. 21%; P = 0.05), and exhibited shorter time to progression with endocrine therapy alone and in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor, but not with a mTOR inhibitor (everolimus), adjusting for key prognostic variables in multivariate analysis. Furthermore, mTOR-based therapy resulted in a sustained radiological and molecular response in an index case of FGFR1+ HR+/HER2- MBC. In preclinical models, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/FGFR1-amplified CAMA1 human breast cancer cells were only partially sensitive to fulvestrant, palbociclib, and alpelisib, but highly sensitive to everolimus. In addition, transduction of an FGFR1 expression vector into ER+ T47D cells induced resistance to fulvestrant that could be overcome by added TORC1 inhibition, but not PI3K or CDK4/6 inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these findings suggest that while FGFR1 amplification confers broad resistance to ER, PI3K, and CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors might have a unique therapeutic role in the treatment of patients with ER+/FGFR1+ MBC.

Abstract
UNLABELLED : The last decade in oncology has witnessed impressive response rates with targeted therapies, largely because of collaborative efforts at understanding tumor biology and careful patient selection based on molecular fingerprinting of the tumor. Consequently, there has been a push toward routine molecular genotyping of tumors, and large precision medicine-based clinical trials have been launched to match therapy to the molecular alteration seen in a tumor. However, selecting the "right drug" for an individual patient in clinic is a complex decision-making process, including analytical interpretation of the report, consideration of the importance of the molecular alteration in driving growth of the tumor, tumor heterogeneity, the availability of a matched targeted therapy, efficacy and toxicity considerations of the targeted therapy (compared with standard therapy), and reimbursement issues. In this article, we review the key considerations involved in clinical decision making while reviewing a molecular genotyping report. We present the case of a 67-year-old postmenopausal female with metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, whose tumor progressed on multiple endocrine therapies. Molecular genotyping of the metastatic lesion revealed the presence of an ESR1 mutation (encoding p.Tyr537Asn), which was absent in the primary tumor. The same ESR1 mutation was also detected in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) extracted from her blood. The general approach for interpretation of genotyping results, the clinical significance of the specific mutation in the particular cancer, potential strategies to target the pathway, and implications for clinical practice are reviewed in this article. KEY POINTS ER+ breast tumors are known to undergo genomic evolution during treatment with the acquisition of new mutations that confer resistance to treatment.ESR1 mutations in the ligand-binding domain of ER can lead to a ligand-independent, constitutively active form of ER and mediate resistance to aromatase inhibitors.ESR1 mutations may be detected by genomic sequencing of tissue biopsies of the metastatic tumor or by sequencing the circulating tumor cells or tumor DNA (ctDNA).Sequencing results may lead to a therapeutic "match" with an existing FDA-approved drug or match with an experimental agent that fits the clinical setting.

Abstract
Brain metastases are common in patients with advanced, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. We evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and feasibility of lapatinib given concurrently with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Eligible patients had (HER2)-positive breast cancer and ≥1 brain metastasis. Patients received lapatinib 750 mg twice on day one followed by 1000, 1250, or 1500 mg once daily. WBRT (37.5 Gy, 15 fractions) began 1-8 days after starting lapatinib. Lapatinib was continued through WBRT. Following WBRT, patients received trastuzumab 2 mg/kg weekly and lapatinib 1000 mg once daily. The regimen would be considered feasible if <3/27 pts treated at the MTD experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Thirty-five patients were enrolled; 17 % had central nervous disease (CNS) only. During dose escalation, no patients receiving 1,000 or 1,250 mg and two of five patients receiving 1,500 mg experienced DLTs (grade 3 mucositis and rash). Overall, 7/27 patients at 1,250 mg (MTD) had DLTs: grade 3 rash (n = 2), diarrhea (n = 2), hypoxia (n = 1), and grade 4 pulmonary embolus (n = 2). Among 28 evaluable patients, the CNS objective response rate (ORR) was 79 % [95% confidence interval (CI) 59-92 %] by pre-specified volumetric criteria; 46 % remained progression-free (CNS or non-CNS) at 6 months. The study did not meet the pre-defined criteria for feasibility because of toxicity, although the relationship between study treatment and some DLTs was uncertain. Given the high ORR, concurrent lapatinib-WBRT could still be considered for future study with careful safety monitoring.

Abstract
This study compares faith attitudes versus behaviors for their relationship to mental health in current cancer patients and survivors. This cross-sectional survey of ambulatory patients included Hodge's intrinsic religious motivation scale, Benson & Spilka's concept of God scale, frequency of prayer, and the mental health subscale of the MOS SF-36. One hundred and fifty-eighty patients, mostly women with breast cancer, completed questionnaires (92% return). Mental health was positively related to a concept of a loving God (P < .001) and negatively related to the concept of a stern God (P < .002). Mental health was unrelated to goal of treatment (cure vs. chemotherapy/palliation), frequency of prayer, intrinsic faith motivation, or physical pain. Viewing God as loving was strongly related to better mental health, even in the presence of a poor prognosis or pain.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a behavioral intervention, nonviolent communication (NVC), on the development of empathic coping and communication skills in a sample of male parolees enrolled in substance abuse treatment (SAT; N = 30). At the end of the 8-week intervention, results revealed a significant increase (p = .01) in participants' empathy levels. Findings also revealed the acceptability and utility of NVC training to men on parole. Results suggest that NVC training may (a) be a useful addition to substance abuse treatment programs for parolees, (b) be effective in addressing problematic coping and communication styles resulting from incarceration and criminal behavior, and (c) assist paroled individuals in building and sustaining positive social support networks.

Abstract
We describe a set of web-based calculators, available at http://www.CancerMath.net , which estimate the risk of breast carcinoma death, the reduction in life expectancy, and the impact of various adjuvant treatment choices. The published SNAP method of the binary biological model of cancer metastasis uses information on tumor size, nodal status, and other prognostic factors to accurately estimate of breast cancer lethality at 15 years after diagnosis. By combining these 15-year lethality estimates with data on the breast cancer hazard function, breast cancer lethality can be estimated at each of the 15 years after diagnosis. A web-based calculator was then created to visualize the estimated lethality with and without a range of adjuvant therapy options at any of the 15 years after diagnosis, and enable conditional survival calculations. NIH population data was used to estimate non-breast-cancer chance of death. The accuracy of the calculators was tested against two large breast carcinoma datasets: 7,907 patients seen at two academic hospitals and 362,491 patients from the SEER national dataset. The calculators were found to be highly accurate and specific, as seen by their capacity for stratifying patients into groups differing by as little as a 2% risk of death, and accurately accounting for nodal status, histology, grade, age, and hormone receptor status. Our breast carcinoma calculators provide accurate and useful estimates of the risk of death, which can aid in analysis of the various adjuvant therapy options available to each patient.

Abstract
Non-breast-cancer deaths currently account for almost half of deaths among breast carcinoma patients in the 15 years following diagnosis. Understanding the trends of non-breast-cancer death is vital for calibrating treatment and survival expectations, and for understanding the consequences of potentially toxic therapies. To observe trends over time in non-breast-cancer relative survival-the non-breast-cancer survival rates of breast cancer patients relative to the non-breast-cancer survival rates of the population as a whole, matched for gender, race, age, region, and year of diagnosis. Non-breast-cancer relative survival between breast carcinoma patients and the general population was measured using SEER public-use data of patients diagnosed with breast carcinoma between 1973 and 2007. Non-breast-cancer relative survival improved significantly from 1973 to the present. From 1986 onward, the non-breast-cancer survival rate among breast carcinoma patients is equal to, or slightly higher than, matched populations who did not have breast carcinoma. This improvement over time occurred across almost all patient stratifications, including race, age, tumor size, and nodal status. However, patients receiving full mastectomies, and patients not receiving radiotherapy experienced no increase in relative survival. The most dramatic relative survival improvements occurred in patients who received radiation and patients receiving partial mastectomies, and such improvements were seen even after controlling for changes in tumor size over time. Non-breast-cancer relative survival among breast carcinoma patients has improved significantly since 1973; breast cancer patients are currently no more likely to die of other causes than the general population.
