398 Background: Optimal treatment of GCT in underserved populations is subject to barriers that are associated with worse clinical outcomes. We determine whether standardized treatment of GCT can overcome such sociodemographic factors limiting patient care. Methods: The records of all patients undergoing primary treatment for GCT were analyzed from both a public safety net hospital and an academic tertiary care center in the same metropolitan area. Patients at both institutions were managed by the same group of physicians in the context of multidisciplinary cancer care. Patients were grouped by care center and clinicopathologic features, practice patterns, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: 106 and 95 patients underwent initial treatment for GCT between 2006 and 2018 in the safety net hospital and tertiary care center, respectively. Safety net patients were younger (29 vs 33 years, p=0.005), more likely to be Hispanic (79% vs 11%), more likely to be uninsured (80% vs 12%, p<0.001), and present via the emergency department (76% vs 8%, p<0.001). They were more likely to have metastatic (stage II/III) disease (42% vs 26%, p=0.025). On multivariable analysis, presence of lymphovascular invasion (OR=0.30, p=0.008) and embryonal carcinoma component (OR=0.36, p=0.02) were associated with surveillance vs adjuvant treatment for Stage I patients; hospital setting was not (OR=0.67, p=0.55). For patients with Stage II/III NSGCT, there was no difference in performance of PC-RPLND at the safety net hospital vs tertiary care center (52% vs 64%, p=0.53). No difference in recurrence rates between cohorts (5% vs 6%, p=0.76) was observed. Conclusions: Sociodemographic factors are often associated with adverse clinical outcomes in the treatment of GCT; this may be overcome with integrated, standardized management of testicular cancer.
