P1.07-014 - Predictors of Survival in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Patients (pts) < 50 Years of Age: Results from the California Cancer Registry (CCR) (ID 2416)

- Abstract
Background:
SCLC is an often lethal disease that commonly occurs in older individuals with a history of heavy tobacco use. Limited epidemiologic and outcomes data are available for young SCLC pts (< 50 years of age). We analyzed the CCR to explore the clinical variables related to cause specific survival (CSS) of young pts.
Methods:
SCLC pts diagnosed between 1998-2012 were included. Primary outcome was CSS. Hazard ratios (HR) for CSS were calculated using Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) models for all ages & for pts <50 years, adjusted for baseline variables: age, gender, stage, race, year of diagnosis, treatment, socioeconomic status (SES), and location (urban vs. rural).
Results:
We identified 22,863 SCLC pts, of which 975 were <50 years of age (4.2%). Demographics for pts <50 years: Males-51%; White-71%; Stage IV-60%; Chemotherapy-79%; Urban location-92%; high SES-28%. Fewer pts < 50 years were diagnosed in later years: from 40% in ‘98-’02 to 24% in ‘08-‘12. Results of multivariate Cox PH models are shown.

Conclusion:
Age < 50 years was an independent predictor of improved CSS (HR 0.82, p<0.0001). In younger pts, female sex (HR 0.81, p=0.0045), Asian race (HR 0.57, p=0.0075), and rural residence (HR 0.75, p=0.042) were associated with better CSS, among other variables. Analyses for relevant interactions within subgroups will be presented.
