e23573 Background: Surgery still remains the mainstay of treatment with curative intent for high grade extremity soft tissue non rhabdomyosarcoma sarcomas (HG ESTS). Adjuvant/neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (CT) is still debatable, but most experts agree about its role in HG-ESTS in combination with radiation (R). Interdigitated CT+R is an attractive method of delivering these modalities of treatment in short time prior to surgery, however safety of using growth factor (GF) while administering CT+R in HG ESTS is largely unknown. We conducted a retrospective study of the toxicities associated with GF administration in this setting at a single institution. Methods: Electronic medical records at one institution were reviewed to identify patients having a diagnosis of extremity STS between October 2017- January 2020. Demographics, details of tumor characteristics, and treatment details were noted. Details of Interdigitated (ID)CRT were noted; the intended CT regimen was doxorubicin/ifosphamide/mesna (MAI) at 100% of the intended dosing. Data regarding the toxicities associated with GF administration were also evaluated in these patients; specifically, the development of febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and pulmonary toxicity were evaluated. Patients who presented with metastatic disease were excluded from this analysis. Results: 22 patients were identified. Median age was 63 years. Of these, 9 patients (40%) were smokers. At diagnosis, 6 patients (27%) had metastatic disease. The most common site of primary disease was the thigh (50%). The most common histology was undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (59%). CT monotherapy was administered in 3 patients. RT was administered in 14 patients, out of whom interdigitated CRT was administered in 10 patients. 60% of patients who initiated were able to receive 3 cycles of ID-CRT prior to Surgery. GF was administered in 14 patients who received regimens including CT. Of patients receiving ID-CRT who received GF, 60% completed ID-CRT without delays. No delays occurred due to thrombocytopenia. Febrile neutropenia occured in 22% of patients who received GF. Only 1 patient who received GF suffered prolonged thrombocytopenia. No patients who received GF were noted to have pulmonary toxicity. Conclusions: For adults with HG ESTS, GF administration with ID-CRT does not appear to cause any additional delay in treatment due to prolonged thrombocytopenia or lung toxicity. Inclusion of GF administration in further prospective trials of ID-CRT appears feasible.

1069 Background: TNBC accounts for about 15-20% of all breast cancer. TNBC has particularly aggressive clinical course and accounts for a disproportionate number of breast cancer relapses and deaths in early stage disease. TNBC also have worse prognosis especially in African American (AA) women compared with white women. This retrospective study aims to investigate various clinical and demographic prognostic factors in TNBC. Methods: 476 TNBC patients who were treated at Eastern Carolina University and University of North Carolina, CH between 4/96 and 9/11 were included in this analysis. We collected data on age, race, grade, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), stage, treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, chemotherapy drugs, insurance type and year of treatment. Overall Survival (OS) was computed from the date of diagnosis to the date of death or last FU. For disease free survival (DFS), patients were scored if they failed either locally or distally. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to compute hazard ratios. Results: The median age was 52 years (21-88 years) with median FU of 3.7 years. 49% women were white race followed by AA 223 (47%) and Hispanic or other race (5%). Stage (p<0.001), grade (p=0.02), surgery (p<0.0001), adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.025), LVI (p=0.05) and type of insurance were significant predictor of OS. Similarly, stage (p<0.0001), surgery (p<0.0001), LVI (p=0.03) and insurance were significant predictors for DFS. On multivariate analysis, stage, surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy remained statistically significant predictors. Medicaid vs. Private Insurance also remained a significant detriment of survival (OS: HR=3.6, p<0.0001; DFS: HR=2.8, p<0.0001) as did having No Insurance for OS (HR=2.0, p=0.0074). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is a largest retrospective study showing type of insurance to be a strong predictor of outcome in this very specific breast cancer subtype which remained significant after adjusting all other variables. Further insight is needed to determine the cause of this finding.

It has been reported that chemotherapy drugs and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administered on the same day can aggravate neutropenia. In the present study, we investigated the safety of pegfilgrastim during bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) therapy. This single-center retrospective study, including 137 cycles of BEP therapy for germ cell tumors between January 2008 and April 2021, investigated safety. Short-acting G-CSF was used for 84 cycles and pegfilgrastim was used for 53 cycles. In the pegfilgrastim group, neutrophil count at nadir was significantly higher than in the G-CSF group (median 1,650/μl and 680/μl, respectively). The incidence of grade 3–4 neutropenia was significantly higher and the duration longer in the G-CSF group. Also, there was no significant difference in the incidence of febrile neutropenia. In conclusion, concomitant use of pegfilgrastim during BEP therapy did not increase neutropenia and was effective in terms of safety.

e18762 Background: Febrile neutropenia is a serious complication of chemotherapy leading to hospitalization in cancer patients. According to a practice guidelines published by ASCO (American Society of clinical Oncology) and IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of American) in 2018, patients meeting the criteria for low-risk neutropenia according to the MASCC score (Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer Score) could be treated as outpatient and thus avoid hospitalization. The objective of the study was to assess the number and proportion of patients who were hospitalized for febrile neutropenia in university hospital that would have met the low risk criteria of febrile neutropenia. We also wanted to know if these patients had experienced a favorable outcome during hospitalization. Methods: We performed a retrospective study including all patients admitted for febrile neutropenia in 3 hospitals in Quebec City during the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. We excluded patients with leukemia, as well as stem cell transplant patients. The chart review retrospectively established the MASCC score for each patient. We also established according to predefined criteria whether the clinical course was favorable or unfavorable. Results: A total of 177 hospitalizations met our inclusion criteria. We found that 101/177 (57.1%) of hospitalized patients met the criteria for low-risk neutropenia according to the MASCC score (score of 21 and above). Of this number 74/177 (41.8%) presented all the criteria suggested for receiving outpatient treatment. In these patients 70/177 (39.5%) presented a favorable evolution during hospitalization and thus 4/177 (2.3%) presented an unfavorable evolution. Among these, 2 patients presented with infections considered major (2 bacteremia), 1 patient developed acute renal failure, and 1 other patient developed delirium. There was no death or admission to the intensive care unit in these 4 patients. Conclusions: According to this retrospective study, about 40% of patients admitted for febrile neutropenia filled the criteria of low risk febrile neutropenia and could be treated as outpatient. Given this represents a significant proportion of patients, a protocol for systematic follow-up of outpatient treatment with low-risk febrile neutropenia should be put in place.
