Abstract 2313

Background

5-10% of women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) survive ≥5 years. Predictors of long-term survival are not clearly elucidated. We used data from 122 long-term MBC survivors (≥5-year survival from date of MBC diagnosis) and 191 short-term MBC survivors (≤2-year survival from date from MBC diagnosis) to identify clinico-pathologic and socioeconomic features associated with MBC survival.

Methods

Women initially diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) in or after 1999, and diagnosed with MBC at Magee Women’s Cancer Program of UPMC were included (N = 313). Data abstracted from medical records included: stage at initial BC diagnosis, body mass index (BMI), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), age, menopausal status at initial BC diagnosis, tumor receptor status at initial BC diagnosis, site of initial metastases, time between initial diagnosis and MBC, household income, race, employment status, and partner status. Differences between groups were assessed using t-tests and Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using multivariate logistic regression models.

Results

Long-term survivors were significantly (P < 0.05) younger, had more ER positive, PR positive, and Her2 positive disease, lower CCI, more often premenopausal at initial diagnosis, lower rates of visceral metastases, higher household income, and more often partnered than short-term survivors. Long-term term survivors were also significantly more often diagnosed with de novo MBC compared to short-term survivors. The association with long-term survival remained significant after adjustment for age, tumor receptor status, and CCI (OR: 3.0, 95% CI 1.6-5.4). Time interval between initial diagnosis and MBC, BMI, race, and employment status were not associated with survival.

Conclusions

Diagnosis of de novo MBC, ER-, PR- and/or Her2-positive primary tumor, higher household income, younger age, lower CCI, premenopausal status, and having a partner are associated with long-term survival after diagnosis of MBC. This is one of the first studies to show a survival benefit in MBC for patients with de novo MBC, positive partner status and higher household income.
