Nnclinical factrs assciated with premature terminatin f adjuvant chemtherapy fr stage I-III breast cancer Xia-Cheng Wu, Trevr Thmpsn, Meichin Hsieh, Meijia Zhu, Patricia Andrews, Michelle Lch, Timthy Styles, Vivien W. Chen 2015 NAACCR Annual Cnference Charltte, Nrth Carlina June 18, 2015 Backgrund Clinical trials and chrt studies have indicated that adjuvant chemtherapy decreases cancer recurrence and imprves survival significantly fr early stage breast cancer patients. Numerus studies examined disparities in disseminatin f guidelines-recmmended chemtherapy and factrs assciated with nn-guidelines cncrdant care 1
Backgrund It has been reprted that early terminatin f adjuvant chemtherapy has an adverse impact n prgnsis f breast cancer (Hershman D, 2005). Ppulatin-based patterns f care studies have nt examined early terminatin f chemtherapy due t difficulties in cllecting such data. CDC-funded Cmparative Effectiveness f Research (CER) prject cllected detailed infrmatin n chemtherapy including cmpletin status. Objectives Examine the assciatin f nn-clinical factrs with early terminatin f adjuvant chemtherapy amng stage I-III breast cancer patients. 2

Cnclusins/Discussins Medicaid r Medicare/ther public insurance is a significant predictr fr early terminatin f chem after adjusting fr age, clinical, and ther sci-demgraphic factrs. Wells JS, et al (2015) reprted patients nt cvered by private insurance were mre likely t cmplete less than 100% f chemtherapy. Cnsistent with recent studies (Andic F 2010, Lipscmb J, 2012, Wells JS, 2015), race/ethnicity is a nt significant predictr fr early terminatin f chem after the adjustment. Pverty and educatin are nt significant predictrs fr early terminatin f chem after the adjustment. Cnclusins Mderate/severe cmrbidity is a significant predictr fr early terminatin f chem. N guideline primary treatment (lumpectmy withut radiatin therapy r n surgery) significantly predicts early terminatin f chem. 12
Strength: The first ppulatin-based study n early chem terminatin Large sample size Include all majr race/ethnicity categries Data are relatively current (2011 diagnsis) Limitatin: 15% f cases unknwn chem cmpletin status Cmrbidity cllectin was nt standardized Only examined early terminatin (yes, n). Nt examined adherence, which includes Delayed chem, missed and cancelled appintments Reduced dse Underlying cause fr the assciatin f insurance with early chem terminatin is unknwn.
