    Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. Significant disparities exist among racial and ethnic minorities diagnosed with colorectal cancer compared to non-Hispanic Whites. However, understanding of survival outcomes following curative surgical resection in this population is limited.
    Objective: To evaluate the association between race and colorectal cancer-specific mortality in patients who were treated with major surgical resection of the colon.  Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database from 2010 to 2016. The patient population consisted of adult patients (≥18 years old) diagnosed with a primary malignancy of colorectal cancer treated with major surgical resection of the colon. The main outcome measures were survival time at one and five years following diagnosis and cancer-specific death.
    Results: A total of 120,598 patients with primary colorectal malignancy treated with surgical resection of the colon were identified. Across all racial groups, most patients presented with moderately differentiated colorectal cancer. Non-Hispanic Blacks had the highest proportion of diffuse metastases (p<0.001). After adjusting for covariates, Hispanic respondents had the lowest one-year survival (adjusted HR: 1.26, 95%CI (1.21-1.31) and five-year survival when compared to Whites (adjusted HR: 1.13, 95%CI: 1.10-1.15). Factors associated with a shorter survival include age ≥ 70 years old, unmarried status, metastatic disease, and high-grade tumors (p<0.001).  Conclusions: Racial disparities exist in the overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer who are treated with surgical resection of the colon. Hispanic patients had the highest hazard of death, followed by Non-Hispanic Asian-Pacific Islanders and Non-Hispanic Blacks, compared to Whites. While surgical resection can be curative, the quality and accessibility of post-operative care may differentiate survival outcomes among racial groups.

    Abstract Purpose Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal group of breast cancers. Socioeconomic factors may contribute to differences in survival rates. This study aims to identify racial/ethnic disparities in five-year survival rates among women affected by TNBC in the United States. Methods This retrospective study analyzed data from the 2010-2016 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database. Patients with a primary malignancy of triple-negative breast cancer were included in this study. Cancer-specific survival was measured at five years post-diagnosis. Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results From 2010-2016, there were 26,963 women with a primary diagnosis of TNBC. After adjustment for age, insurance, marital status, stage, and surgery type, Hispanic women had the highest hazard of death when compared to White women (adjusted (adj) HR, 1.14, p<0.001). Further, non-Hispanic Black women also had a lower survival probability when compared to White women (adj HR, 1.06, p=0.002). Conclusion This study reveals that Hispanic women had the highest hazard of death when compared to White women. As TNBC is the most fatal breast cancer, future studies should investigate socioeconomic factors that may worsen prognosis of this disease.

    Abstract Objective: To identify racial disparities in five-year survival rates in women affected by serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma in the United States (US).
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the 2010 to 2016 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database. Women with a primary malignancy of serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma, using International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) Topography Coding and ICD-O-3 Histology Coding, were included in this study. Race and ethnicity were combined into the following groups: Non-Hispanic White (NHW), Non-Hispanic Black (NHB), Non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander (NHAPI), Non-Hispanic Other (NHO), and Hispanics. Cancer-specific survival was measured at five years post-diagnosis. A comparison of baseline characteristics was assessed using Chi-squared tests. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
    Results: From 2010 to 2016, there were 9,630 women with a primary diagnosis of serous ovarian carcinoma identified in the SEER database. A higher proportion of Asian/PI women (90.7%) were diagnosed with high-grade malignancy (poorly differentiated/undifferentiated) compared to NHW women (85.4%). NHB women (9.7%) were less likely to undergo surgery when compared to NHW women (6.7%). Hispanic women had the highest proportion of uninsured women (5.9%), while NHW and NHAPI had the lowest (2.2% each). A higher proportion of NHB (74.2%) and Asian/PI (71.3%) women presented with the distant disease compared to NHW women (70.2%). After adjustment for age, insurance, marital status, stage, metastases, and surgical resection, NHB women had the highest hazard of death within five years compared to NHW women (adjusted (adj) HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.09-1.36, p<0.001). Hispanic women also had lower five-year survival probabilities compared to NHW women (adj HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.30, p<0.001). Patients undergoing surgery had significantly increased survival probability compared to those who did not (p<0.001). As expected, women with Grade III and Grade IV disease both had significantly lower five-year survival probabilities compared to Grade I (p<0.001).
    Conclusion: This study reveals that there is an association between race and overall survival in patients with serous ovarian carcinoma, with NHB and Hispanic women having the highest hazards of death compared to NHW women. This adds to the existing body of literature as survival outcomes in Hispanic patients relative to NHW patients are not well documented. Because of the potential interplay between overall survival and several factors including race, future studies should aim to investigate other socioeconomic factors that may be impacting survival.

    Abstract Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for 10 % of all hematological malignancies. As recent advances in MM treatment continue to improve survival rates, socioeconomic barriers need to be identified to ensure equal treatment. This study evaluates the association between insurance status and survival in patients with MM.
    Methods: This study analyzed patients with MM from the 2007-2016 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database. Insurance status was categorized as uninsured, Medicaid, private insurance, and other insurance. Cancer-specific survival was measured at one- and five-years post diagnosis.
    Results: From 2007-2016, there were 41,846 patients with MM extracted from the SEER database. Those with private insurance had a higher proportion of participants that identified as married (65.5 %), resided in metropolitan cities (90.1 %), and identified as white (76 %) and non-Hispanic (90.8 %). The uninsured group had the highest proportion of Black participants compared to other insurance groups (37.4 %). After adjustment for age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status, and residence, the likelihood of five-year survival was significantly lower in those respondents with Medicaid (adjusted (adj) Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.44; 95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.36-1.53), when compared with private insurance holders. Those who were uninsured had a 26 % increased mortality hazard than those with private insurance (95 % CI 1.04-1.53).
    Conclusion: After adjustment, insurance status can influence the survival of adults with MM. As treatment modalities for MM continue to advance, the insurance status of a patient should not hinder their ability to receive the most effective and timely therapies.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between a marker of dietary intake, the carbohydrate-to-fiber (CF) ratio, and moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms.
    Design: Cross-sectional study.
    Setting: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2013-2016.
    Participants: Individuals 18 years and older were included. Participants with total energy intake outside of three standard deviations of the mean, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with missing data were excluded.
    Measurements: The main independent variable, CF ratio, was generated using corresponding variables in NHANES and divided into quartiles. The main outcome was depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).  Results: Among all participants (n=9,728), 8.3% reported to have moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms (n=833). The highest proportion of depressive symptoms was reported in respondents in quartile 4 (Q4), with the highest CF ratio (13.0%; p<0.001). After adjustment, the odds of depressive symptoms significantly increased in Q4 of the CF ratio compared with Q1 (adjusted odds ratio 1.4, 95% CI 1.0-1.9). The prevalence of depressive symptoms significantly increased in females, lower federal poverty levels, non-married individuals, smokers, and hypertension patients.  Conclusion: This nationally representative sample suggests that a higher CF dietary intake ratio increases the risk of moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms. These results suggest that the CF ratio may help clinicians and patients evaluate their dietary risk for depressive symptoms. Further prospective studies are needed to validate this ratio as a dietary measurement.

    Abstract Salvage autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective treatment for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), are collected before the first transplantation, and adequate quantities of PBSCs can be collected and stored potentially for years to support at least 2 transplantations for eligible patients. To ensure the safety of salvage HSCT in the treatment of patients in subsequent relapse, PBSCs must retain the potential to engraft even after several years of cryopreservation. Although PBSC viability has been studied extensively using in vitro techniques, few publications describe the most rigorous functional potency measure, of patients receiving a myeloablative conditioning regimen. This study describes a large single-institution experience evaluating the engraftment kinetics of PBSCs used in salvage transplantation after multiple years of storage compared with first transplantation for the same patients in the treatment of MM. A retrospective chart review of patients with MM undergoing HSCT between 2000 and 2021 identified 89 patients who received salvage autologous PBSCs stored for >1 year after first HSCT. PBSCs were cryopreserved and stored in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen refrigerators at ≤-150°C. All patients received a PBSC product from the same collection cycle for both transplantations.

    Abstract Per the American Society for Apheresis, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a Category III indication in the management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This nationally representative study evaluates TPE utilization in hospitalized adults with a primary admission diagnosis of ITP. Hospitalizations with ITP as the primary admitting diagnosis were analyzed from the 2010 to 2014 National Inpatient Sample, the largest all-payer inpatient database in the United States. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to determine clinical outcomes in ITP patients undergoing TPE. Sampling weights were applied to generate nationally representative estimates. From 2010 to 2014, there were a total of 56,149 admissions with a primary admitting diagnosis of ITP, of which 0.66% admissions (n = 372) also coded TPE. Most subjects undergoing TPE were the highest disease severity class: major (34.6%) and extreme severity (31.0%), by all-patients refined diagnoses-related groups severity of illness subclass. After multivariable analysis, underlying severity of illness remained the most significant predictor of TPE (P < .001). ITP admissions with TPE had a high rate of comorbidities (50%) and significantly longer mean length of hospital stay than those without (P < .001). TPE was reported in ~0.6% of hospitalizations with ITP as the primary diagnosis in this nationally representative sample from 2010 to 2014. TPE was performed in patients with the highest severity of underlying illness, and higher rates of comorbidities.

    Abstract Washing cryopreserved peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) products can decrease infusion-related adverse reactions but can also result in cell loss and reduced cell viability. To assess the risk and benefit of washing products, we compared the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment between autologous patients that received washed products (n = 201) and non-washed products (n = 89). The effect of the other variables, including age, gender, diagnosis, transplant dose, method of stem cell mobilization, and growth factor support regimen post-transplant, was assessed. In multivariate analysis, direct thaw and infusion of non-washed products resulted in significantly faster neutrophil engraftment (p = .003) and platelet engraftment (p = .017) than washed products. The mean neutrophil and platelet engraftment times were 1.07 days faster and 2.27 days faster, respectively. In conclusion, direct thaw and infusion of cryopreserved PBSC without washing results in significantly shorter time to recovery of neutrophils and platelets after autologous transplantation.
