    Abstract Purpose: We performed this study to characterize the population at the Lifespan Cancer Institute (LCI) who received a survivorship care plan (SCP) with or without a survivorship care visit (SCV) to determine both the impact on specialty referrals and the demographic and clinical predictors of SCPs and SCVs.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed EMR records on 1960 patients at LCI between 2014 and 2017 for SCPs and SCVs and extracted demographics, distress thermometer (DT) scores collected at the time of initial presentation, and subsequent referrals. We evaluated the bivariate associations of SCP and SCV with continuous and categorical factors and assessed the adjusted effect of these factors on receipt of SCP and SCV independently. All analyses were performed in R v4.0.2.
    Results: SCPs were completed in 740 (37.8%) patients, and of those, 65.9% had a SCV. The mean age was 63.9, 67% were female, and 51.2% were married or partnered. Patients treated for breast, lung, and prostate cancers most received an SCP. Compared to SCP alone, the SCV was associated with more specialty referrals. Those who were younger and had breast cancer were more likely to receive a SCP, and those who were younger and female and had breast cancer were more likely to receive a SCV.
    Conclusions: Gender, age, and type of cancer are significant predictors of receipt of SCP and SCV. Patients who received either SCP, SCV, or both were more likely to receive specialty referrals than those who received neither.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Identifying predictive factors of SCP and SCV can help facilitate earlier receipt of specialty services and specialty referrals as needed.

    Abstract Objective: To assess differences in psychosocial and mental health outcomes between older lesbian and bisexual women compared to heterosexual women.
    Design: Cross sectional study.
    Setting: The study was carried out in the California Teachers Study, a prospective cohort study.
    Participants: Self-identified heterosexual (
    Measurements: Validated questionnaires were used to measure social connection, overall happiness, and depression. Logistic regression modeling was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) comparing lesbian and bisexual women separately to heterosexual women in relation to psychosocial and mental health outcomes.
    Results: After controlling for age and marital status, older bisexual women were significantly more likely to report lack of companionship (OR = 2.00; 95% CI, 1.30-3.12) and feeling left out (OR = 2.33; 95% CI, 1.36-3.97) compared to older heterosexual women. The odds of reporting feeling isolated from others was significantly higher in lesbian (OR = 1.56; 95% CI, 1.06-2.30) and bisexual women (OR = 2.30; 95% CI, 1.37-3.87) than in heterosexual women. The OR (95% CI) for reporting not being very happy overall was 1.96 (CI, 1.09-3.52) in bisexual women and 1.40 (0.92-2.14) in lesbian women compared to heterosexual women. The likelihood of reporting diagnosed depression was significantly higher in lesbian women (OR = 1.65; 95% CI, 1.38-1.97) and bisexual women (OR = 2.21; 95% CI, 1.67-2.93) compared to heterosexual women.
    Conclusion: Inclusion of lesbian and bisexual women in aging research is essential to understand their unique mental and other health needs, including those specific to bisexual women.

    Abstract Introduction: Two-thirds of chronically ill patients do not have an advance directive. The primary aim of this study was to develop an intervention to increase the documentation of advance directives in elderly adults in an internal medicine resident primary care clinic. The secondary aims were to improve resident confidence in discussing advance care planning and increase the number of discussions.
    Methods: The study was a pre- and postintervention study. The study intervention was a 30-minute educational session on advance care planning. Study participants were patients aged 65 years and older who were seen in an internal medicine residency primary care clinic over a 6-month period and internal medicine residents. Clinic encounters were reviewed for the presence of advance care planning discussions before and after the intervention. Resident confidence was measured on a Likert scale.
    Results: Two hundred ninety-five eligible patients were seen in the clinic from January 1, 2017, to June 30, 2017, and included in the analysis performed between 2017 and 2018. The mean number of documented advance care planning discussions increased from 2.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-4.9) during the preintervention period to 8.94 (95% CI: 5.94-13.24]) during the postintervention period (
    Conclusion: A relatively modest intervention to increase advance care planning discussions is feasible in an internal medicine primary care clinic and can improve the confidence of residents with end-of-life discussion.

    Abstract Background: Ezabenlimab (BI 754091) is a humanised monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein-1. We report results from open-label, dose-escalation/expansion, Phase I trials that evaluated the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics and antitumour activity of ezabenlimab at the recommended Phase II dose in patients with selected advanced solid tumours.
    Study design: Study 1381.1 (NCT02952248) was conducted in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Study 1381.4 (NCT03433898) was conducted in Japan. Study 1381.3 (NCT03780725) was conducted in the Netherlands. The primary endpoints were: number of patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the first cycle (dose escalation parts), number of patients with DLTs during the entire treatment period and objective response (dose expansion part of Study 1381.1).
    Results: Overall, 117 patients received ezabenlimab intravenously every 3 weeks (80 mg, n = 3; 240 mg, n = 111; 400 mg, n = 3). No DLTs were observed and the MTD was not reached. Fifty-eight patients (52.3%) had grade ≥ 3 adverse events, most commonly anaemia (10.8%) and fatigue (2.7%). In 111 assessed patients treated with ezabenlimab 240 mg, disease control rate was 56.8% and objective response rate was 16.2%. Three patients had complete response; at data cut-off (November 2021) one remained in response and was still receiving ongoing treatment (duration of response [DoR]: 906 days). Partial responses occurred across several tumour types; DoR ranged from 67 to 757 days.
    Conclusions: Ezabenlimab was well tolerated and associated with durable antitumour activity in multiple solid tumours, comparable to other immune checkpoint inhibitors in similar patient populations and treatment settings.

  7. Thesis ; Online: Habitat and spatial relationships of nesting Common Black-Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) in southwest New Mexico

    Abstract Based on Project Black-Hawk 2011 spring and summer riparian raptor surveys along 211 km of San Francisco and Gila Rivers in New Mexico, correlations between metrics of riparian ecosystem health and Common Black-Hawk nest site utilization were addressed using macro habitat suitability modeling with a Geographic Information System (GIS), and micro habitat analysis of Rapid Bioassessment Protocols (RBP) through the use of logistic regression analysis. The habitat suitability model demonstrated that areas more than 1000 m to a road, within 800 m to a river, and within the immediate riparian vegetation zone were classified as preferred habitat, as 93% of Common Black-Hawk nests occurred in these areas. Analysis of RBP stream assessments indicate geomorphic complexity of the river channel (meaning the amount of braided channels, side pools, side channels, springs, and oxbows) to be significant to the location of active Common Black-Hawk nests as well as cumulative RBP score. Each unit increase in geomorphic complexity increases the odds of active nest presence by 1.34, and each unit increase in RBP cumulative score increases the odds of active nest presence by 1.08. Furthermore, examination of climate change projections indicate New Mexico’s increasing temperatures will produce greater evaporative loss of water in those critical riparian habitats so that the suitable habitats are available in more limited locations and for shorter time spans relative to the critical feeding season for Common Black-Hawk. Geomorphic complexity features may prove to be even more important for nesting habitat, by providing an increased variety of habitat for prey as water levels decrease.

    Abstract Introduction: Racial/ethnic diversity in prostate cancer (CaP) clinical trials (CTs) is essential to address CaP disparities. California Cancer Registry mandated electronic reporting (e-path) of structured data elements from pathologists diagnosing cancer thereby creating an opportunity to identify and approach patients rapidly. This study tested the utility of an online CT matching tool (called Trial Library) used in combination with e-path to improve matching of underrepresented CaP patients into CTs at time of diagnosis.
    Methods: This was a nonrandomized, single-arm feasibility study among patients with a new pathologic diagnosis of high-risk CaP (Gleason Score ≥8). Eligible patients were sent recruitment materials and enrolled patients were introduced to Trial Library.
    Results: A total of 419 case listings were assessed. Patients were excluded due to physician contraindication, not meeting baseline eligibility, or unable to be reached. Final participants (N = 52) completed a baseline survey. Among study participants, 77% were White, 10% were Black/Hispanic/Missing, and 14% were Asian. The majority of the study participants were over 65 years of age (81%) and Medicare insured (62%). Additionally, 81% of participants reported using the Internet to learn about CaP. The majority (62%) of participants reported that Trial Library increased their interest in CT participation.
    Conclusions: The current study demonstrated that leveraging structured e-path data reporting to a population-based cancer registry to recruit men with high risk CaP to clinical research is feasible and acceptable. We observed that e-path may be linked with an online CT matching tool, Trial Library. Future studies will prioritize recruitment from reporting facilities that serve more racially/ethnically diverse patient populations.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated racism experienced by Asian Americans, especially women and older individuals. Little is known about how discriminatory experiences during the pandemic have influenced health behaviors among Asian Americans. Between 10/2021 and 6/2022, we surveyed 193 Asian American women in the San Francisco area. Participants were asked to report types of discrimination they experienced since March 2020. We explored bivariable associations of discrimination and changes in health behaviors and healthcare utilization. Most women were Chinese American (75%) and over 45-years-old (87%). The top three discriminatory experiences reported were being treated with less respect (60%), being treated unfairly at restaurants/stores (49%), and people acting as if they are better (47%). Chinese American women (vs. non-Chinese Asian American women) reported higher frequencies of being threatened/harassed (40% vs. 22%). Women who reported any discriminatory experience (vs. none) were more likely to report less physical exercise (42.7% vs. 26.3%) and canceling/rescheduling medical appointments (65.0% vs. 45.1%). Our findings begin to elucidate Asian American women's experiences of discrimination since the pandemic and provide evidence of the harmful impacts of anti-Asian racism on health behaviors.
