    Abstract Patients may present with multiple malignancies in the setting of particular environmental and occupational exposures. These patients often require combination systemic therapy, which has not yet been studied for concurrent use. While toxicities for specific chemotherapies and immunotherapies may be well known, the possibility of exaggerated toxicity due to combination therapy exists and is understudied. Several trials are underway that may shed further light on how combination therapies affect patient toxicity. This case report outlines the unfortunate development of severe edema and rash, refractory to traditional methods of management, from combining immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

    Abstract Background: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a devastating complication for patients with advanced cancer. Diagnosis and monitoring the response to therapy remains challenging due to limited sensitivity and specificity of standard-of-care (SOC) diagnostic modalities, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology, MRI, and clinical evaluation. These hindrances contribute to the poor survival of LMD patients. CNSide is a CLIA-validated test that detects and characterizes CSF-derived tumor cells and cell-free (cf) DNA. We performed a retrospective analysis on the utility of CNSide to analyze CSF obtained from advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) patients with suspected LMD treated at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, UT.
    Methods: CNSide was used to evaluate CSF from 15 patients with aNSCLC. CSF tumor cell quantification was performed throughout treatment for 5 patients. CSF tumor cells and cfDNA were characterized for actionable mutations.
    Results: In LMD-positive patients, CNSide detected CSF tumor cells in 88% (22/25) samples versus 40% (10/25) for cytology (matched samples). CSF tumor cell numbers tracked response to therapy in 5 patients where CNSide was used to quantify tumor cells throughout treatment. In 75% (9/12) of the patients, genetic alterations were detected in CSF, with the majority representing gene mutations and amplifications with therapeutic potential. The median survival for LMD patients was 16.1 m (5.2-NR).
    Conclusions: We show that CNSide can supplement the management of LMD in conjunction with SOC methods for the diagnosis, monitoring response to therapy, and identifying actionable mutations unique to the CSF in patients with LMD.

    Abstract Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis. There is limited data for the management of mixed histology disease in elderly or frail patients. A 79-year-old woman with no smoking history presented with a right upper lobe lung mass on chest x-ray. Biopsy of the mass demonstrated an EGFR-amplified, PD-L1 positive adenosquamous lung cancer. The mass was surgically resected but the patient was not a candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient later developed a metastatic paraspinal lesion that was successfully managed with SBRT. Approximately six months later, the patient developed adrenal metastases and pembrolizumab was initiated. After three cycles of systemic therapy, she developed subcutaneous lesions in her back and chest wall, which were managed with palliative resection. Scans demonstrate stable disease and continued responsiveness to pembrolizumab over one year from the most recent local ablative therapy. This case illustrates the potential role of local ablative therapy for oligometastatic progression, as it may confer significant benefit in elderly patients or those with a more indolent disease course. Additionally, we have demonstrated that continuing immunotherapy past progression is reasonable in patients with no viable alternate therapy options, as delayed responses may occur.

    Abstract Purpose: Nivolumab is a fully human IgG4 programmed death 1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) antibody that has anti-tumor activity by selectively blocking the interaction of the programmed death 1 receptor with its two known programmed death ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. In doing so, this immune checkpoint inhibitor removes the negative signal stifling T cell activation and proliferation within the tumor microenvironment and demonstrates favorable antitumor activity.
    Case report: We report an interesting case of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced primary hypothyroidism with associated hypothyroid myopathy in a young patient with surgically resected stage IIIB melanoma receiving adjuvant nivolumab. He presented 12 weeks into therapy with severe myalgias, arthralgias, and intermittent disequilibrium of unclear etiology. Laboratory evaluation demonstrated a significant elevation in thyroid stimulating hormone and creatine kinase with an undetectable free T4 with standard laboratory measurement. With thyroid hormone replacement therapy alone, he had rapid improvement in his musculoskeletal symptoms and laboratory parameters over a three-week period.
    Discussion: This case emphasizes the serious nature of endocrine immune-related adverse events in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. Additionally, it highlights that unlike most other immune-related adverse events, endocrine immune-related adverse events can generally be managed with adequate hormone replacement alone with swift improvements in symptoms. This allows patients to continue immune checkpoint inhibitors safely without immunosuppression which may dampen the anti-tumor activity of these agents.
    Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early recognition and the appropriate management of endocrine immune-related adverse events to maximize patient safety and good outcomes.

    Abstract Targeted therapies against EGFR, vascular endothelial growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor have expanded treatment options for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Unfortunately, biomarkers to identify patients that are most likely to derive benefit from targeted therapies in this disease are still needed. Indeed, only RAS mutations have been identified as predictive of lack of benefit from monoclonal antibodies against EGFR in patients with mCRC. Panitumumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody against EGFR. In this study, we review data to support the use of panitumumab in combination with a chemotherapy backbone, in the first line setting in patients with RAS wild-type mCRC. Ongoing efforts are aimed at identifying smaller subsets of patients within the RAS wild-type group that will derive the largest benefit from anti-EGFR therapy. In the meantime, treatment with anti-EGFR therapy should be reserved for patients with RAS wild-type mCRC.

    Abstract Purpose: Performance status (PS), an established prognostic surrogate of cancer survival, is a physician-synthesized metric of patient symptoms and mobility that is prone to bias and subjectivity. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Cancer (PROMIS-Ca) Bank, a patient-centric patient-reported outcome (PRO) evaluation of physical function (PF), fatigue, depression, anxiety, and pain, shares subject matter with PS and, therefore, may also be prognostic while eliminating physician interpretation.
    Methods: Patients at Huntsman Cancer Institute were assessed using the NCI PROMIS-Ca Bank. Using tablets at routine office visits, PF, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and pain scores were collected from patients with advanced melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. A PRO score collected at a single time point within 6 months of metastatic diagnosis for each patient was merged with curated clinical outcome data. The association of PROs, overall survival (OS), and hospitalization-free survival (HFS) were assessed in multivariable analysis that included sex and cancer type.
    Results: Two hundred eighty-two complete sets of patient data were available for analysis. All 5 PRO domains were strongly prognostic of OS and HFS. While the PRO domains were interrelated with moderate to strong correlations (0.40-0.79), multivariable regression suggested that PF was most strongly associated with the clinical outcomes of OS (
    Conclusion: NCI PROMIS-Ca PROs may be prognostic of both cancer survival and likelihood of hospitalization. Future prospective studies are needed for all major prognostic factors to fully understand the independent prognostic value of PROs.

    Abstract Background: Collecting, monitoring, and responding to patient-generated health data (PGHD) are associated with improved quality of life and patient satisfaction, and possibly with improved patient survival in oncology. However, the current state of adoption, types of PGHD collected, and degree of integration into electronic health records (EHRs) is unknown.
    Methods: The NCCN EHR Oncology Advisory Group formed a Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Workgroup to perform an assessment and provide recommendations for cancer centers, researchers, and EHR vendors to advance the collection and use of PGHD in oncology. The issues were evaluated via a survey of NCCN Member Institutions. Questions were designed to assess the current state of PGHD collection, including how, what, and where PGHD are collected. Additionally, detailed questions about governance and data integration into EHRs were asked.
    Results: Of 28 Member Institutions surveyed, 23 responded. The collection and use of PGHD is widespread among NCCN Members Institutions (96%). Most centers (90%) embed at least some PGHD into the EHR, although challenges remain, as evidenced by 88% of respondents reporting the use of instruments not integrated. Forty-seven percent of respondents are leveraging PGHD for process automation and adherence to best evidence. Content type and integration touchpoints vary among the members, as well as governance maturity.
    Conclusions: The reported variability regarding PGHD suggests that it may not yet have reached its full potential for oncology care delivery. As the adoption of PGHD in oncology continues to expand, opportunities exist to enhance their utility. Among the recommendations for cancer centers is establishment of a governance process that includes patients. Researchers should consider determining which PGHD instruments confer the highest value. It is recommended that EHR vendors collaborate with cancer centers to develop solutions for the collection, interpretation, visualization, and use of PGHD.
