Abstract 346P
Background
ET is the mainstay treatment (tx) for HR+ eBC but they have persistent side effects that negatively affect QoL, leading to early tx discontinuation and compromising outcomes. We describe the incidence of ET toxicity and its QoL impact in CANTO.
Methods
CANTO (NCT01993498) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study enrolling pts with invasive (cT0-cT3, cN0-3, no metastases) BC from 26 French cancer centres. Pts with HR+, HER2– eBC treated with adj ET were followed for the first 3 years (yrs) after eBC diagnosis. Pt demographics, clinical data, adherence, symptoms and QoL were collected. Questionnaires were administered at baseline (BL), 3–6 months (mo; M0) after primary surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy completion (whichever came last), and 12 mo, 36 mo and 60 mo after M0. Descriptive analyses were conducted for frequency of symptoms and mean/median QoL questionnaires summary scores.
Results
Of the 5564 pts who met the inclusion criteria (median age: 57 yrs), 63% were post-menopausal and 52% had stage I eBC at diagnosis. The table shows QoL and toxicity data. Global and functioning QoL remained high at BL and during tx. BC-specific symptoms persisted during tx. Pain was the most prevalent toxicity in the first 3 yrs; prevalence of muscular and joint pain increased over time. Mean intensity of global, muscular and joint pain all remained high over the course of ET (median intensity: ∼6 [0–10 scale]). ET adherence was 81–93% over time; in the first 3 yrs, 23% switched ET and 7% discontinued adj ET; toxicity was the main reason cited. Table: 346P

Conclusions
While global and functional QoL remained high in the first 3 yrs after eBC diagnosis, BC-specific symptoms slightly increased/persisted during ET. This study confirmed long-term toxicity of ET, particularly pain. Better management of symptoms and supportive interventional strategies are needed to further improve QoL in eBC.
