Abstract
AIMS To resolve the ongoing controversy surrounding the impact of teratoma (TER) in the primary among patients with metastatic testicular non-seminomatous germ-cell tumours (NSGCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Using the International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) Update Consortium database, we compared the survival probabilities of patients with metastatic testicular GCT with TER (TER) or without TER (NTER) in their primaries corrected for known prognostic factors. Progression-free survival (5y-PFS) and overall survival at 5 years (5y-OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Among 6792 patients with metastatic testicular NSGCT, 3224 (47%) had TER in their primary, and 3568 (53%) did not. In the IGCCCG good prognosis group, the 5y-PFS was 87.8% in TER versus 92.0% in NTER patients (p = 0.0001), the respective 5y-OS were 94.5% versus 96.5% (p = 0.0032). The corresponding figures in the intermediate prognosis group were 5y-PFS 76.9% versus 81.6% (p = 0.0432) in TER and NTER and 5y-OS 90.4% versus 90.9% (p = 0.8514), respectively. In the poor prognosis group, there was no difference, neither in 5y-PFS [54.3% in TER patients versus 55.4% (p = 0.7472) in NTER], nor in 5y-OS [69.4% versus 67.7% (p = 0.3841)]. NSGCT patients with TER had more residual masses (65.3% versus 51.7%, p < 0.0001), and therefore received post-chemotherapy surgery more frequently than NTER patients (46.8% versus 32.0%, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Teratoma in the primary tumour of patients with metastatic NSGCT negatively impacts on survival in the good and intermediate, but not in the poor IGCCCG prognostic groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) provide an integrated team approach to ensure individualized and evidence-based treatment recommendations and best expert advice in cancer care. A growing number of patients and more complex treatment options challenge MDTM resources and evoke needs for case prioritization. In this process, decision aids could provide streamlining and standardize evaluation of case complexity. We applied the recently developed Measure of Case Discussion Complexity, MeDiC, instrument with the aim to validate its performance in another healthcare setting and diagnostic area as a means to provide cases for full MDTM discussions. METHODS The 26-item MeDiC instrument evaluates case complexity and was applied to 364 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer in Sweden. MeDiC scores were generated from individual-level health data and were correlated with clinicopathological parameters, healthcare setting, and the observed clinical case selection for MDTMs. RESULTS Application of the MeDiC instrument was feasible with rapid scoring based on available clinical data. Patients with high-risk prostate cancers had significantly higher MeDiC scores than patients with low or intermediate-risk cancers. In the total study, population affected lymph nodes and metastatic disease significantly influenced MDTM referral, whereas comorbidities and age did not predict MDTM referral. When individual patient MeDiC scores were compared to the clinical MDTM case selection, advanced stage, T3/T4 tumors, involved lymph nodes, presence of metastases and significant physical comorbidity were identified as key MDTM predictive factors. CONCLUSIONS Application of the MeDiC instrument in prostate cancer may be used to streamline case selection for MDTMs in cancer care and may complement clinical case selection.

Abstract
Purpose The prognostic significance of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in patients with metastatic seminoma is not defined. We investigated the prognostic impact of LDH levels prior to first-line systemic treatment and other clinical characteristics in this subset of patients. Methods Files from two registry studies and one single-institution database were analyzed retrospectively. Uni- and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify patient characteristics associated with recurrence free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and complete response rate (CRR). Results The dataset included 351 metastatic seminoma patients with a median follow-up of 5.36 years. Five-year RFS, OS and CRR were 82%, 89% and 52%, respectively. Explorative analysis revealed a cut-off LDH level of < 2.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) (n = 228) vs. ≥ 2.5 ULN (n = 123) to be associated with a significant difference concerning OS associated with 5-years OS rates of 93% vs. 83% (p = 0.001) which was confirmed in multivariate analysis (HR 2.87; p = 0.004). Furthermore, the cut-off LDH < 2.5 ULN vs. ≥ 2.5 ULN correlated with RFS and CRR associated with a 5-years RFS rate and CRR of 76% vs. 86% (p = 0.012) and 32% vs. 59% (p ≤ 0.001), respectively. Conclusions LDH levels correlate with treatment response and survival in metastatic seminoma patients and should be considered for their prognostic stratification.

Abstract
386 Background: Extrapulmonary visceral metastases were the only adverse prognostic factor among 660 advanced seminomas in the original classification of the International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) treated between 1975 and 1990 and published 1997. Outcomes may have improved with current era management and additional prognostic factors may exist. Methods: To update the original IGCCCG classification, an international consortium (30 centers/groups) provided data on 2458 advanced seminoma patients treated with cisplatin- and etoposide-based first-line chemotherapy between 1990 and 2015 in prospective cohorts or clinical trials. Progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) probabilities were calculated. CART analysis was used to identify prognostic factors inside original IGCCCG good risk group to further refine the classification. Among eligible 2302 patients with full data, a training set of 1509 patients (1437 good risk and 72 intermediate risk) was used for model building. An independent set of 793 patients was set aside for validation. Primary endpoints were PFS and OS at 5 years. Results: Compared with the 1997 IGCCCG benchmarks, the 5-year PFS rates increased to 88.7% (87.2 - 89.9%) and 78.4% (69.6 - 84.9%) in good and intermediate IGCCCG patients. The corresponding 5-year OS rates were 95.4% (94.4 - 96.2%) and 87.2% (79.2 - 92.2%). CART analysis identified LDH with a cut-point of 2.5 x ULN as the single most significant prognostic factor in good risk patients with 5-y PFS rates of 92.1% (90.3 - 93.6%) and 79.2% (74.2 - 83.4%) in low and high LDH subgroups. (HR = 2.90, P < .0001). Good risk patients with LDH above 2.5 x ULN (313 of 1411 patients) performed similarly to the intermediate IGCCCG patients; hCG was not independently prognostic. Conclusions: In this modern era series, the original IGCCCG still significantly discriminates between "good” and "intermediate" risk metastatic seminoma, but with significantly improved PFS and OS in both risk groups. LDH at a cut-off point of 2.5 x ULN further refines this classification and identifies men with intermediate risk seminoma in the absence of extrapulmonary visceral metastases. This refinement will be relevant to improve future seminoma care.

Abstract
Surveys have shown that super-Earth and Neptune-mass exoplanets are more frequent than gas giants around low-mass stars, as predicted by the core accretion theory of planet formation. We report the discovery of a giant planet around the very-low-mass star GJ 3512, as determined by optical and near-infrared radial-velocity observations. The planet has a minimum mass of 0.46 Jupiter masses, very high for such a small host star, and an eccentric 204-day orbit. Dynamical models show that the high eccentricity is most likely due to planet-planet interactions. We use simulations to demonstrate that the GJ 3512 planetary system challenges generally accepted formation theories, and that it puts constraints on the planet accretion and migration rates. Disk instabilities may be more efficient in forming planets than previously thought.

Abstract
510 Background: Clin. stage I (CSI) non-seminoma (NS) is disease limited to the testis without metastases. One treatment strategy after orchiectomy is adjuvant (adjuv) chemotherapy with BEP after which relapses are rare. Little is known about the outcome of patients (pts) relapsing after such treatment. Methods: Data from 51 pts with CSI NS and relapse after adjuv BEP from 18 centers/11 countries was collected and retrospectively analyzed. Primary endpoints were OS and PFS calculated from start of treatment of relapse. Secondary outcomes were time to, stage at, and treatment of relapse as well as rate of subsequent relapses. Results: 23 pts received one cycle adjuv BEP and 28 pts two. Median time to relapse was 13 months, with the earliest relapse two months after start of adjuv BEP and the latest relapse recorded after 26 years. According to IGCCCG, 84% of pts classified as good prognosis at relapse. With a median follow up of 50 months 5y PFS was 64% (95% CI 52-80%) and 5y OS 79% (95% CI 68-92%). Treatment upon relapse was diverse, the majority of pts received combination- chemotherapy and surgery. 10 pts (20%) had pure mature teratoma at relapse treated with surgery alone. None of these pts experienced a second relapse. If teratoma relapses were excluded, 5y PFS dropped to 58% (44-77%) and 5y OS to 76% (63-92%). Relapses later than three years after adjuv therapy occured in 15/51 pts. (29%) and were associated with a statistically significant higher risk of death from germ-cell cancer (p=0.02). 15/51 pts (29%) experienced a subsequent relapse. Excluding pts with teratoma only, subsequent relapses occured in 15 of the remaining 41 pts (37%). At last follow-up, 41/51 (80%) pts were alive and disease-free, 8/51 (16%) had died from progressive disease and one pt each had died from therapy-related or other causes. Conclusions: Outcome of pts with relapse after adjuv BEP seems to be better compared to pts with relapse after metastatic disease, but worse compared to de novo metastatic pts. There is a substantial rate of late and subsequent relapses. Pts and care-takers need to be informed about this and therapy intensification at first relapse might be considered. However, considering the low rate of relapses, OS in general for CSI NS pts receiving adjuv BEP is excellent.

Abstract
TPS397 Background: Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) affects around 3,000 men in Sweden every year. New drugs are available but they have moderate effect, low response rates, are expensive, and lack predictive treatment markers. This will lead to an unsustainable situation for prostate cancer care. Our hypothesis is that treatment decisions based on molecular profiling will significantly increase the response rate at 3 months compared to current clinical care, translating into improved progression free and overall survival. The vast majority of CRPC metastasize to the bone, with low success rate in obtaining sufficient material. Therefore, we will sequence circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) being present at high levels in plasma. Methods: ProBio-II is an adaptive, multi-arm, open-label, multiple assignment randomized biomarker driven phase 2 trial in men with CRPC . Men (n=750) will be randomized to receive either standard of care (following Swedish national guidelines) or treatment with Enzalutamide, Abiraterone, PARP inhibitors, RA-223, Cabazitaxel, or immune modulators based on molecular subtypes. The molecular subtypes are defined as tumor properties or mutations in certain genes/pathways including: Microsatellite instability; Androgen receptor alterations; DNA-repair deficiency; TP53 inactivation; PTEN inactivation etc. The molecular subtypes will be identified by ctDNA profiling. A specially designed ctDNA profile for CRPC has been developed by our group to detect: mutations, amplifications and genomic rearrangements in the androgen receptor (AR); mutations, genomic rearrangements and amplifications/deletions in 300 key genes involved in prostate cancer; and microsatellite instable and hypermutated cancers. ProBio-II’s design is novel and inspired by successful studies as I-SPY (breast cancer) and the NCI-MATCH trial (metastatic cancer). Novel aspects of the study design includes using prior probability of treatment response; re-randomization of non-responders; and adaptive design. The ProBio II study will start recruiting patients in Sweden in Q1 2018 and recruit patients during a 18 month period. All major oncology departments in Sweden will participate.

Abstract
4560 Background: The IGCCCG classification published in 1997 is based on data from the 1970-80s. Approximately 25% of metastatic GCT patients belong to the intermediate prognosis category, that was associated with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 79%. However, more recent data suggest significant changes. We have thus performed an international registry of IPGCT patients to analyze current treatment, outcome, and potential prognostic factors. Methods: Data of IPGCT patients, diagnosed between 1979-2012, were retrospectively collected from 14 centers. Treatment and outcome before and after implementation of IGCCCG were analyzed. For patients diagnosed since 1997 prognostic factors were investigated by uni- and multivariate analysis to test whether current patients or subgroups may require less intensive treatment. Results: This registry includes 637 patients: group 1 diagnosed prior 1997 (n = 237), and group 2 since 1997 (n = 400). Mean follow-up duration was 128.4 months (IQR: 168.9). Patients in group 1 and 2 received first-line treatment with BEP (median 4 cycles; range 1 - 6) in 98% and 97%, respectively. Response to chemotherapy (CR and marker negative PR) was similar: 91% group 1; 94% group 2; (p = 0.233), but survival curves were significantly superior in group 2 associated with a 5-year OS rate of 87% (group 2) and 81% (group 1), respectively (p = 0.011; 95%CI 294-317). Recurrence rates were higher in group 1 (36% versus 24%; p = 0.001). Patients treated with 3 cycles BEP (n = 58) in both groups had a similar outcome concerning OS compared to patients treated with 4 cycles (n = 489) (p = 0.415). Uni- and multivariate analysis revealed LDH levels < 2.0 UNL prior chemotherapy (p = 0.018; HR 0.35) and an adequate tumor marker decline at days 18-21 (half-life) of first cycle (p = 0.025; HR 2.58) as independent prognosticators, both associated with 5-year OS rates of 94%, respectively. Conclusions: Outcome of intermediate patients seems improved after implementation of the IGCCCG classification and less intensive regimes may also be sufficient. Here, patients treated with 3xBEP had a non-inferior outcome. A baseline LDH < 2.0 UNL and an adequate tumor marker decline after first treatment cycle can be used for further stratification.

Abstract
TPS4593 Background: Clinical stage I seminomatous testicular cancer is by far the most frequent presentation of testicular cancer. Treatment options include surveillance or adjuvant treatment, internationally one course of adjuvant carboplatin (AUC7) is the preferred adjuvant treatment. Tumor size and stromal invasion in the rete testis can be used to identify patients with a higher risk of relapse. Recent data have showed only a modest effect of adjuvant carboplatin in preventing relapse, and more potent adjuvant therapies should be explored to this group of patients. Methods: The ABC-study is a investigator initiated randomized, open, phase III study comparing standard adjuvant chemotherapy in the form of one course carboplatin AUC7 to one course of BEP (Bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin), in patients with one or two risk factors. Based on SWENOTECA data from one course of adjuvant carboplatin AUC7 we estimate the relapse rate in patients with one or two risk factors to be 9 %. We consider a reduction in relapse free survival of 7 % to be the minimum difference that will lead to routine use of one course of adjuvant BEP. To demonstrate an improvement in relapse rate from 9 to 2 % with an α = 0.05 and β = 0.80, 332 evaluable patients are required. We expect a dropout rate of maximum 5 %, and therefore intend to randomize a total of 348 patients. Enrollment in the study started in 2015, and as of February 1. 2017 a total of 66 patients have been enrolled. Accrual have been slower than expected, but the current accrual rate is about 6-7 patients a month. We invite institutions and collaboratory groups to participate in this study. NCT02341989.

Abstract
Spermatogenesis is an androgen-regulated process that depends on the action of androgen receptor (AR). Sperm production may be affected in men treated for testicular cancer (TC), and it is important to identify the factors influencing the timing of spermatogenesis recovery following cancer treatment. It is known that the CAG and GGN repeat numbers affect the activity of the AR; therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate if the CAG and GGN polymorphisms in the AR gene predict recovery of sperm production after TC treatment. TC patients (n = 130) delivered ejaculates at the following time points: postorchiectomy and at 6, 12, 24, 36, and 60 months posttherapy (T0, T6, T12, T24, T36, and T60). The CAG lengths were categorized into three groups, <22 CAG, 22–23 CAG, and >23 CAG, and the GGN tracts were also categorized into three groups, <23 GGN, 23 GGN, and >23 GGN. At T12, men with 22–23 CAG presented with a statistically significantly (P = 0.045) lower sperm concentration than those with other CAG numbers (8.4 × 106 ml−1vs 16 × 106 ml−1; 95% CI: 1.01–2.65). This association was robust to omitting adjustment for treatment type and sperm concentration at T0 (P = 0.021; 3.7 × 106 ml−1vs 10 × 106 ml−1; 95% CI: 1.13–4.90). The same trends were observed for total sperm number. The least active AR variant seems to be associated with a more rapid recovery of spermatogenesis. This finding adds to our understanding of the biology of postcancer therapy recovery of fertility in males and has clinical implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A contralateral tumor occurs in 3.5-5% of men diagnosed with testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC). Biopsy of the contralateral testis may detect intratubular germ cell neoplasia ITGCNU, a precursor of TGCC. Biopsy of the contralateral testis to detect ITGCNU is controversial. If adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) protects against bilateral cancer is debated. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1003 patients with clinical stage I (CS I) non-seminomatous testicular germ cell cancer (NSGCT) were included in two prospective, population-based protocols. Fifteen patients were excluded. Treatment was either adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 494), or surveillance (n = 494). Contralateral testicular biopsy was recommended for all patients, but was performed only in 282 patients. In case of ITGCNU radiotherapy (RT) to 16 Gy was recommended. RESULTS During a follow-up of 8.3 years, 31 (3.6%) patients developed contralateral TGCC. ITGCNU was detected in 3.2% (9/282) of biopsied patients. The incidence of bilateral TGCC was similar following ACT, 2.5% (11/494), and surveillance, 3.4% (13/494), p = 0.41. Young age was a risk factor for metachronous TGCC (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.88-0.99, p = 0.02). In total 2.2% (6/273) of patients without ITGCNU in the biopsy developed contralateral TGCC. One irradiated patient developed contralateral cancer, and one developed contralateral tumor before RT was given. CONCLUSION ACT did not reduce the incidence of contralateral TGCC. Young patients had the highest risk of developing contralateral TGCC. The proportion of false negatives biopsies was higher than reported in earlier trials, but this may in part be related to patient selection, single biopsies and lack of mandatory immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
We report the recovery of a spectroscopic event in eta Carinae in 1997/1998 after a prediction by Damineli in 1996. A true periodicity with P=2020+/-5 days (0.2% uncertainty) is obtained. The line intensities and the radial velocity curve display a phase-locked behavior, implying that the energy and dynamics of the event repeat from cycle to cycle. This rules out S Doradus oscillation or multiple shell ejection by an unstable star as the explanation of the spectroscopic events. A colliding-wind binary scenario is supported by our spectroscopic data and by X-ray observations. Although deviations from a simple case exist around periastron, intensive monitoring during the next event (mid-2003) will be crucial to our understanding of the system.
