Abstract
BACKGROUND The GENEVIEVE study, comparing neoadjuvant cabazitaxel versus paclitaxel in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and luminal B/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer (BC), previously reported significant differences in pathological complete response (pCR) rates. Effects on long-term outcome are unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS GENEVIEVE randomized patients with cT2-3, any cN or cT1, cN+/pNSLN+, centrally confirmed TNBC or luminal B/HER2-negative BC (latter defined as estrogen/progesterone receptor-positive and >14% Ki-67-stained cells) to receive either cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 q3w for four cycles or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 weekly for 12 weeks. Anthracycline-containing chemotherapy was allowed in case of histologically proven invasive residuals as neoadjuvant treatment or after surgery as adjuvant treatment. Here we report the secondary endpoints invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Of the 333 patients randomized, 74.7% and 83.2% completed treatment in the cabazitaxel and paclitaxel arms, respectively. After a median follow-up of 89.3 months (interquartile range 68.8-97.3 months), 80 iDFS events (43 after cabazitaxel and 37 after paclitaxel) and 47 deaths (23 after cabazitaxel and 24 after paclitaxel) were reported. IDFS rates were not significantly different between the cabazitaxel and paclitaxel arms after a 3-year (83.6% versus 85.0%) and 5-year follow-up (76.2% versus 78.3%) [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.27, 95% confidence interval 0.82-1.96, P = 0.294], respectively. DDFS rates at 3 years (88.6% versus 87.8%) and 5 years (82.1% versus 82.8%) for cabazitaxel and paclitaxel were comparable (HR = 1.15, P = 0.573). Similarly, OS rates at 3 years (91.6% versus 91.8%) and 5 years (89.2% versus 86.8%) showed no significant differences (HR = 1.05, P = 0.872). Subgroup analysis for TNBC and luminal B/HER2-negative BCs indicated no significant variations in 3- or 5-year iDFS, DDFS, or OS. CONCLUSIONS The significant differences in pCR rates observed in both treatment arms did not significantly impact long-term outcomes for patients treated with cabazitaxel versus paclitaxel in the GENEVIEVE trial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The intention of this study was to evaluate the level of anxiety and depression of malignant ovarian germ cell (MOGCT) and sex cord stromal tumors (SCST) survivors and to identify possible alterable cofactors. METHODS CORSETT was an observational, multicenter, mixed retrospective/prospective cohort study of the AGO Studygroup. Women who had been diagnosed with MOGCTs and SCSTs between 2001 and 2011 were asked to complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to evaluate distress. Predictors of distress (type of surgery, chemotherapy, time since diagnosis, recurrence, second tumor, pain) were investigated using multivariate linear regression analysis. RESULTS 150 MOGCT and SCST patients with confirmed histological diagnosis completed the questionnaire median seven years after diagnosis. They had a HADS total score ≥ 13 indicating severe mental distress in 34% of cases. Patients after fertility-conserving surgery had lower probability of severe mental distress than those without fertility-conserving treatment (β = - 3.1, p = 0.04). Pain was associated with the level of distress in uni- and multivariate analysis (coef 0.1, p < 0.01, coef. Beta 0.5). DISCUSSION Severe mental distress was frequent in patients with MOGCT and SCST and the level of pain was associated with the level of distress. Fertility conserving therapy, however, was associated with less mental distress. Screening and treatment of pain and depression is required to improve mental well-being in survivors of MOGCT and SCST.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stomatitis is one of the main reasons to discontinue everolimus in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). To decrease stomatitis and subsequently early treatment discontinuations or dose reductions, the DESIREE trial investigated the use of a stepwise dose-escalation schedule of everolimus (EVE esc). PATIENTS AND METHODS DESIREE is a phase II, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with HR+/HER2- mBC and progression/relapse after nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor treatment. Patients were randomised to EVE esc (2.5 mg/day, week 1; 5 mg/day, week 2; 7.5 mg/day, week 3; 10 mg/day, weeks 4-24) or everolimus 10 mg/day (EVE 10mg) for 24 weeks plus exemestane. The primary endpoint was the incidence of stomatitis episodes grade ≥2 within 12 weeks of treatment. The secondary endpoints included toxicity, relative total dose intensity (RTDI) and quality of life (QoL). RESULTS A total of 160 patients were randomised and 156 started treatment (EVE esc: 80; EVE 10mg: 76). The median age of patients was 64 years (range 33-85), 56.3% patients in the EVE esc arm versus 42.1% in the EVE 10mg arm had liver metastasis (P = 0.081) and 62.5% versus 51.3% received over one metastatic therapy line (P = 0.196). Within 12 weeks, the incidence of stomatitis episodes grade ≥2 was significantly lower in the EVE esc arm compared with the EVE 10mg arm (28.8% versus 46.1%; odds ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.24-0.92; P = 0.026). Toxicity was in line with the known safety profile without new safety concerns. The median RTDI was 91.1% in the EVE esc arm versus 80.0% in the EVE 10mg arm (P = 0.329). Discontinuation rate in the first 3 weeks was 6.3% versus 15.8%, respectively (P = 0.073). QoL was comparable between the two treatment arms. CONCLUSIONS A dose-escalation schema of everolimus over 3 weeks can be successfully used to reduce the incidence of high-grade stomatitis in the first 12 weeks of treatment in patients with HR+/HER2- mBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a promising strategy in early breast cancer, but the optimal duration of therapy is currently unknown. In the GeparNuevo (NCT02685059) trial, addition of durvalumab to NACT as previously reported led to a moderate increase in pCR rate by absolute 9% (p=0.287). PATIENTS AND METHODS Durvalumab or placebo 1.5g/placebo q4 weeks plus nab-paclitaxel 125mg/m2 weekly for 12 weeks, followed by 4 cycles durvalumab/placebo plus epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC) q2 weeks was given to cT1b-cT4a-d TNBC patients. Durvalumab was not continued after surgery. Primary objective was pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints included invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS 174 patients were randomised between June 2016 and October 2017. After a median follow-up of 43.7 months, 34 events had occurred. Despite a non-significant increase in the pCR rate, significant differences were observed for 3-year iDFS, DDFS and OS: iDFS was 85.6% with durvalumab vs 77.2% with placebo (HR 0.48, 95%CI 0.24-0.97, stratified log-rank p=0.036); DDFS 91.7% vs 78.4% (HR 0.31, 95%CI 0.13-0.74, p=0.005); OS 95.2% vs 83.5% (HR 0.24, 95%CI 0.08-0.72, p=0.006). pCR patients had 3-year iDFS of 95.5% with durvalumab and 86.1% without (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.05-1.06). In non-pCR cohort 3-year iDFS was 76.3% vs 69.7% (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.29-1.54). Multivariable analysis confirmed durvalumab effect independent of the pCR effect. No new safety signals occurred. CONCLUSION Durvalumab added to NACT in TNBC significantly improved survival despite a modest pCR increase and no adjuvant component of durvalumab. Additional studies are needed to clarify the optimal duration and sequence of CPIs in the treatment of early TNBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The HLS-EU study in 2011 demonstrated that there exists limited comprehensive health literacy (HL) for considerable proportions of the general population, that there is a social gradient for HL and that limited HL has problematic consequences for healthy lifestyles, self-reported health and utilization of health care services. But distributions and associations of HL differed considerably between the 8 included EU-countries. WHO-Europe initiated the Acton Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) to measure HL regularly, starting with the Health Literacy Survey 2019 (HLS19).
Methods
Based on the design and instrument of the HLS-EU, an improved core questionnaire was developed for HLS19 to measure comprehensive HL and its relevant correlates. Optional packages introduced specific instruments and measured digital, communication, navigation and vaccination HL and its most relevant correlates. Cross-sectional data were collected by probability samples of at least 1.000 respondents per country for the general population 18+, in 17 member states of the WHO-Europe region, by personal interviews, telephone interviews, or internet surveys.
Results
Considerable proportions of resident adult populations in participating countries have limited HL and there is a social gradient for HL. HL also has, but to a differing degree, consequences for selected life-style indicators, indicators for self-reported health and use of professional health care services. General trends were found, but also considerable variation by country.
Conclusions
Results demonstrated that main trends of the HLS-EU study concerning HL hold still true for HLS19 and that there are even more pronounced differences between participating countries. Since HL is relevant for health policy in all countries, policy recommendations for improving HL in the European region were drafted by the HLS19 consortium and will be presented in the second presentation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare early hip osteoarthritis (OA) features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in high-impact athletes with and without hip and/or groin pain, and to evaluate associations between early hip OA features, the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT33) and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). DESIGN This case-control study evaluated data of the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort (FORCe). One hundred and eighty-two symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 pain-free high-impact athletes (soccer or Australian football (AF)) without definite radiographic hip OA underwent hip MRI. The Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) method quantified and graded the severity of OA features. Each participant completed the iHOT33 and HAGOS. RESULTS Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher total SHOMRI (0-96) (mean difference 1.4, 95% CI: 0.7-2.2), labral score (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) 1.33, 95% CI: 1.1-1.6). Differences in prevalence of cartilage defects, labral tears and paralabral cysts between symptomatic and pain-free participants were inconclusive. There was a lower prevalence of effusion-synovitis in symptomatic participants when compared to pain-free participants (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.46 (95% CI: 0.3-0.8). Early hip OA features were not associated with iHOT33 or HAGOS. CONCLUSIONS A complex and poorly understood relationship exists between hip and/or groin pain and early hip OA features present on MRI in high-impact athletes without radiographic OA. Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher SHOMRI and labral scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different endogenous and exogenous mutational processes act over the evolutionary history of a malignant tumor, driven by abnormal DNA editing, mutagens or age-related DNA alterations, among others, to generate the specific mutational landscape of each individual tumor. The signatures of these mutational processes can be identified in large genomic datasets. We investigated the hypothesis that genomic patterns of mutational signatures are associated with the clinical behavior of breast cancer, in particular chemotherapy response and survival, with a particular focus on therapy-resistant disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Whole exome sequencing was carried out in 405 pretherapeutic samples from the prospective neoadjuvant multicenter GeparSepto study. We analyzed 11 mutational signatures including biological processes such as APOBEC-mutagenesis, homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), mismatch repair deficiency and also age-related or tobacco-induced alterations. RESULTS Different subgroups of breast carcinomas were defined mainly by differences in HRD-related and APOBEC-related mutational signatures and significant differences between hormone-receptor (HR)-negative and HR-positive tumors as well as correlations with age, Ki-67 and immunological parameters were observed. We could identify mutational processes that were linked to increased pathological complete response rates to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with high significance. In univariate analyses for HR-positive tumors signatures, S3 (HRD, P < 0.001) and S13 (APOBEC, P = 0.001) as well as exonic mutation rate (P = 0.002) were significantly correlated with increased pathological complete response rates. The signatures S3 (HRD, P = 0.006) and S4 (tobacco, P = 0.011) were prognostic for reduced disease-free survival of patients with chemotherapy-resistant tumors. CONCLUSION The results of this investigation suggest that the clinical behavior of a tumor, in particular, response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and disease-free survival of therapy-resistant tumors, could be predicted by the composition of mutational signatures as an indicator of the individual genomic history of a tumor. After additional validations, mutational signatures might be used to identify tumors with an increased response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and to define therapy-resistant subgroups for future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and toxicity of olaparib as combination therapy in early breast cancer (BC) patients with homologous recombinant deficiency (HRD) [score high and/or germline (g) or tumour (t) BRCA1/2 mutation] is not well described. GeparOLA (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02789332) investigated olaparib in combination with paclitaxel in HER2-negative early BC with HRD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with untreated primary HER2-negative cT2-cT4a-d or cT1c with either cN+ or pNSLN+ or cT1c and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or cT1c and Ki-67>20% BC with HRD were randomised either to paclitaxel (P) 80 mg/m2 weekly plus olaparib (O) 100 mg twice daily for 12 weeks or P plus carboplatinum (Cb) area under the curve 2 weekly for 12 weeks, both followed by epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC). Stratification factors were hormone receptor (HR) status (HR+ versus HR-) and age (<40 versus ≥40 years). The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR; ypT0/is ypN0). A two-sided one-group χ2-test was planned to exclude a pCR rate of ≤55% in the PO-EC arm. Secondary end points were other pCR definitions, breast conservation rate, clinical/imaging response, tolerability and safety. RESULTS A total of 107 patients were randomised between September 2016 and July 2018; 106 (PO N = 69; PCb N = 37) started treatment. Median age was 47.0 years (range 25.0-71.0); 36.2% had cT1, 61.0% cT2, 2.9% cT3, and 31.8% cN-positive tumours; grade 3 tumours: 86.8%; Ki-67>20%: 89.6%; TNBC: 72.6%; confirmed gBRCA1/2 mutation: 56.2%. The pCR rate with PO was 55.1% [90% confidence interval (CI) 44.5% to 65.3%] versus PCb 48.6% (90% CI 34.3% to 63.2%). Analysis for the stratified subgroups showed higher pCR rates with PO in the cohorts of patients <40 years and HR+ patients. CONCLUSION GeparOLA could not exclude a pCR rate of ≤55% in the PO arm. PO was significantly better tolerated and the combination merits further evaluation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Due to the digital transformation in late modern society, digital (or e-) health literacy (DHL) is becoming increasingly relevant for people to take health related decisions. Yet despite its importance for evidence-based policy, very few tools have been developed to measure DHL, and even fewer studies have measured DHL in general populations. The Action Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) is one of the first to include a measure of DHL and its relevant correlates in the Health Literacy Survey 2019 (HLS19).
Methods
Based on an existing instrument (Van der Vaart & Drossaert, 2017), adapted to the format of the HLS-EU questionnaire for measuring comprehensive health literacy, 10 items with four Likert categories were developed to measure self-reported DHL, as well as 6 questions measuring the use of digital resources to obtain health related information and communicate with their health care system, as an optional package of the HLS19 study. Ten of the 15 countries participating in HLS19 included this optional package into their national survey. Data were collected from probability samples of at least 1.000 respondents per country, taken from the general population 18+ by personal interviews, telephone interviews or internet.
Results
For comparisons between countries, distributions of the answers to single items as well as psychometric validation and descriptive data for an index of DHL will be presented. Associations of DHL with general comprehensive health literacy, with the use of digital resources, and with other selected correlates based on correlational and regression analysis will also be presented comparatively for countries.
Conclusions
This study is the first to present standardized comparative data for the distributions of DHL and its correlates in the general population of WHO-Europe region Member States. The relevance of these results for national and European health policy will be discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The HLS-EU study in 2011 demonstrated for 8 EU Member States that there exists limited comprehensive health literacy for considerable proportions of the general population, that there is a social gradient for health literacy and that limited health literacy has problematic consequences for healthy lifestyles, self-reported health and utilization of professional health services. It was also shown that distributions and associations of health literacy differ considerable between countries. WHO-Europe started the Acton Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) to measure health literacy regularly with the Health Literacy Survey 2019 (HLS19).
Methods
Based on the design and instrument of the HLS-EU study (to allow comparisons for countries participating in both surveys) a core questionnaire was developed for measuring comprehensive health literacy and its relevant correlates. Optional packages were created to measure, among others, digital health literacy and its most relevant correlates. Data were collected from probability samples of at least 1.000 respondents per country for the general population 18+ by personal interviews, telephone interviews or internet surveys in at least 15 member states of the WHO-Europe region.
Results
Distributions for indices, scales and levels of comprehensive health literacy will be presented as well as correlations and regressions for associations of health literacy with social determinants and with consequences for selected life style indicators, indicators for self-reported health and use of professional health care services.
Conclusions
Preliminary results show that the general trends of the HLS-EU study concerning health literacy hold true for HLS19 and that there are considerable differences between participating countries. Health literacy is relevant for health policy in all countries, but to understand the differences between countries a more detailed analysis is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the natural history of central osteophytes (COs) by analyzing the structure and matrix composition of CO-associated cartilage using 3-T MRI at and 1-3 years before the onset of COs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Baseline, 4- and 6-year knee MRIs of 400 participants in the Osteoarthritis Initiative were screened for the appearance of new COs. Twenty-eight subjects developed 31 COs. Using MRIs at CO onset and 1-3 years before CO onset, cartilage T2 values were calculated for the local cartilage preceding COs and the surrounding cartilage. Cartilage lesions local to the site of COs and bone marrow edema like lesions (BMELs) subjacent to COs were graded using whole organ MRI scores (WORMS). Wilcoxon tests were used to compare T2 values from the local and the surrounding cartilage at each time point and to compare T2 and WORMS between time points. Knee symptoms were recorded during this period. RESULTS All subjects showed local cartilage lesions before the development of COs. Mean cartilage WORMS increased from 1.56 ± 0.66 a period of 3 years before to 2.39 ± 0.75 with onset of COs (p = 0.008). Local T2 values in the area of the later-appearing COs were significantly higher compared with T2 values of the surrounding cartilage 3 (p = 0.044) and 2 years earlier (p = 0.031) and with the onset of COs (p = 0.025). No significant increase in symptoms was found with the onset of COs. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that focal cartilage structural and compositional degeneration precedes COs. No significant aggravation of knee symptoms was reported during the evolution of COs.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The minor allele of two caspase-8 polymorphisms, namely CASP8 -652 6N InsDel and CASP8 Asp302His, were shown to promote survival of T-lymphocytes and were repeatedly associated with reduced breast cancer susceptibility. However, besides some preliminary findings, clinical relevance of these polymorphisms in patients with already existing primary breast cancer has not yet been established. Considering an immunomodulatory and potentially tumor-protective role of these caspase-8 variants, we genotyped 785 primary breast cancer patients and correlated caspase-8 variants with i) disease-free survival (DFS) and ii) the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).
METHODS: Primary breast cancer samples were collected at the Martin-Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg between 2009 and 2011 as part of the multicenter prospective PiA trial (NCT 01592825). The majority of patients had luminal-like tumors (75.9%), followed by triple negative (10.1%), luminal-Her2-like (9.6%) and Her2-enriched tumors (4.5%). Genotyping was performed by pyrosequencing, TILs status was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.
RESULTS: The CASP8 -652 deletion was significantly associated with improved DFS in an allele-dose dependent manner (p=0.027). Homozygosity for the -652 6N Del variant was an independent predictor for improved DFS (p=0.005). In patients with a 302His/His genotype, there was no event of recurrence during the entire observation time. Combined analysis of diplotypes revealed that both polymorphisms had an influence on DFS (p=0.029). Interestingly, patients with the 302His/His variant among the unstratified patient cohort and among the luminal-like subtype alone had tumors with very low lymphocyte infiltration (0-10% TILs in 65% of cases compared to 31% of cases for other genotypes, p=0.025).
CONCLUSION: In line with previous epidemiological findings, we propose a prognostically favorable role of the CASP8 -652 6N Del and the Asp302His variant in primary breast cancer patients. Moreover, we suggest for the first time a role of the Asp302His variant in immunosurveillance and lymphocyte infiltration of breast cancer. Our findings strongly encourage further analyze of these genetic variants as a biomarker for prognostic and immunotherapeutic considerations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the associations between patellofemoral cartilage T1ρ and T2 relaxation times and knee flexion moment (KFM) and KFM impulse during gait. METHOD Knee magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained from 99 subjects with and without patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA), using fast spin-echo, T1ρ and T2 relaxation time sequences. Patellar and trochlear cartilage relaxation times were computed for the whole cartilage, and superficial and deep layers (laminar analysis). Subjects also underwent three-dimensional (3D) gait analysis. Peak KFM and KFM impulse were calculated during the stance phase. Linear regressions were used to examine whether cartilage relaxation times were associated with knee kinetics during walking while adjusting age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and walking speed. RESULTS Higher peak KFM and KFM impulse were significantly related to higher T1ρ and T2 relaxation times of the trochlear and patellar cartilage, with standardized regression coefficients ranging from 0.21 to 0.28. Laminar analysis showed that overall the superficial layer of patellofemoral cartilage showed stronger associations with knee kinetics. Subgroup analysis revealed that in subjects with PFJ OA, every standard deviation change in knee kinetics was related to greater increases in PFJ cartilage T1ρ and T2 (standardized coefficients: 0.29 to 0.41). Conversely, in subjects without OA, weaker relationships were observed between knee kinetics and PFJ cartilage T1ρ and T2. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that increased peak KFM and KFM impulse were related to worse cartilage health at the PFJ. This association is more prominent in superficial layer cartilage and cartilage with morphological lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the change in cartilage T2 values and structural degeneration in knee joints over 72 months in women of African American (AA) vs Caucasian American (CA) ethnicity. METHODS Knee 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) from baseline, 24, 48 and 72 months visits of 100 AA and 100 CA women from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) were assessed for cartilage T2 values and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging (WORMS) score. Subjects were pair-matched by age, body mass index (BMI), Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score, clinical site and subcohort within the OAI. We compared the rate of change in whole knee cartilage T2 values and WORMS cartilage, bone marrow edema pattern (BMEP) and meniscus scores between the two ethnic groups using mixed random effects models. RESULTS At 24 and 48 months 60 subjects and at 72 months 45 subjects per group were available for analysis resulting in 38 complete pairs with data of all time points. Compared to CA, cartilage T2 values in AA increased at a significantly faster rate at baseline (AA: 0.45 ms/y, CA: 0.35 ms/y, P = 0.029) and averaged over 6 years (AA: 0.36 ms/y, CA: 0.27 ms/y, P = 0.039) with changes in both groups reaching a plateau by 48 months. Cartilage, meniscus and BMEP scores tended to increase in both groups during follow up, but rates of change did not differ by ethnicity. CONCLUSION Cartilage T2 values increased faster over 72 months in AA than CA, however changes in WORMS cartilage, meniscus and BMEP scores did not differ. T2 values may be able to distinguish ethnicity-related differences of cartilage degeneration at an early stage before differences in structural joint degeneration appear.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if asymmetry between hips in pain or radiographic osteoarthritis (RHOA) is associated with worse pain and joint space narrowing (JSN) at baseline and longitudinally in knees contralateral to more affected hips. METHODS We studied 279 participants in the Osteoarthritis Initiative with baseline asymmetry between hips in pain and 483 with asymmetry in RHOA none of whom had a hip replacement for ≥4 years after baseline. RHOA assessed from pelvis radiographs was categorized as none, possible or definite and hip pain on most days of a month in the past year as present/absent. Knee pain (WOMAC scale) and JSN (fixed flexion radiographs) were categorized as none, mild and moderate-severe. We compared knees contralateral and ipsilateral to more affected hips on baseline knee pain and JSN using clustered multinomial regression and on change in knee pain and JSN over 4-5 years using generalized linear and logistic estimating equations. RESULTS Knees contralateral to painful hips had less baseline pain ("moderate-severe" vs "none", relative risk ratio [RRR]: 0.39, 95% CI = 0.27-0.57), but greater baseline JSN ("moderate-severe" vs "none", RRR: 1.62, 95% CI = 1.09-2.38) and greater worsening of pain during follow-up (P = 0.001). Knees contralateral to hips with worse RHOA had nonsignificant trends for greater baseline JSN (P = 0.10) and JSN progression (P = 0.17). CONCLUSION These findings provide limited support for the hypothesis that early asymmetry in hip pain and RHOA is associated with worse pain and structural outcomes in knees contralateral to the more affected hip.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether knee cartilage composition differs between African-American and Caucasian-American women at risk for Osteoarthritis (OA) using in vivo 3 T MRI T2 relaxation time measurements. METHODS Right knee MRI studies of 200 subjects (100 African-American women, and 100 closely matched Caucasian-American women) were selected from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). Knee cartilage was segmented in the patellar (PAT), medial and lateral femoral (MF/LF), and medial and lateral tibial compartments (MT/LT)). Mean T2 relaxation time values per compartment and per whole joint cartilage were generated and analyzed spatially via laminar and grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture methods. Presence and severity of cartilage lesions per compartment were graded using a modified WORMS grading. Statistical analysis employed paired t- and McNemar testing. RESULTS While African-American women and Caucasian-Americans had similar WORMS cartilage lesion scores (P = 0.970), African-Americans showed significantly lower mean T2 values (∼1 ms difference; ∼0.5SD) than Caucasian-Americans in the whole knee cartilage (P < 0.001), and in the subcompartments (LF: P = 0.001, MF: P < 0.001, LT: P = 0.019, MT: P = 0.001) and particularly in the superficial cartilage layer (whole cartilage: P < 0.001, LF: P < 0.001, MF: P < 0.001, LT: P = 0.003, MT: P < 0.001). T2 texture parameters were also significantly lower in the whole joint cartilage of African-Americans than in Caucasian-Americans (variance: P = 0.001; contrast: P = 0.018). In analyses limited to matched pairs with no cartilage lesions in a given compartment, T2 values remained significantly lower in African-Americans. CONCLUSION Using T2 relaxation time as a biomarker for the cartilage collagen network, our findings suggest racial differences in the biochemical knee cartilage composition between African-American and Caucasian-American women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate longitudinal changes in laminar and spatial distribution of knee articular cartilage magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1ρ and T2 relaxation times, in individuals with and without medial compartment cartilage defects. DESIGN All subjects (at baseline n = 88, >18 years old) underwent 3-Tesla knee MRI at baseline and annually thereafter for 3 years. The MR studies were evaluated for presence of cartilage defects (modified Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring - mWORMS), and quantitative T1ρ and T2 relaxation time maps. Subjects were segregated into those with (mWORMS ≥2) and without (mWORMS ≤1) cartilage lesions at the medial tibia (MT) or medial femur (MF) at each time point. Laminar (bone and articular layer) and spatial (gray level co-occurrence matrix - GLCM) distribution of the T1ρ and T2 relaxation time maps were calculated. Linear regression models (cross-sectional) and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEEs) (longitudinal) were used. RESULTS Global T1ρ, global T2 and articular layer T2 relaxation times at the MF, and global and articular layer T2 relaxation times at the MT, were higher in subjects with cartilage lesions compared to those without lesions. At the MT global T1ρ relaxation times were higher at each time point in subjects with lesions. MT T1ρ and T2 became progressively more heterogeneous than control compartments over the course of the study. CONCLUSION Spatial distribution of T1ρ and T2 relaxation time maps in medial knee OA using GLCM technique may be a sensitive indicator of cartilage deterioration, in addition to whole-compartment relaxation time data.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is classified into the subtypes luminal A, luminal B (HER2 positive or negative), HER2 enriched (not luminal) and triple negative (St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference 2011). These breast cancer subtypes show differences in response to therapies and prognosis. Amongst others prognosis is depended on hormone receptor positivity, extent and localization of metastases. Routine screening for metastatic disease is not part of the guidelines for breast cancer aftercare although in oligometastatic disease surgery or local ablative therapies can be used to improve outcome. We evaluated if tumor aftercare should be individualized due to different patterns of metastases of the breast cancer subtypes.
Methods: Four hospitals incorporated into the Regional Breast Center Dresden as a certified center of excellence for treating breast cancer. We retrospectively evaluated sites and characteristics of metastases and survival data according to the intrinsic breast cancer subtypes from patients treated between 2006 and 2011. Immunohistochemical detection of estrogen and progesterone receptor, grading and overexpression of HER2 oncogene was used for identifying tumor subtypes. All data were collected at the Clinical Cancer Registry Dresden.
Results: In 2006 routinely identification of overexpression of HER2 started. Since that time 2334 patients had therapy for breast cancer- 12,4% (290/2334) with metastatic disease (7.2%; 168/2334 primary and 5.2%; 122/2334 relapse). Mean duration of follow up was 38 months. Metastatic disease was more frequently found in HER2 enriched, 27.2%; 30/110, and triple negative, 19.7%; 44/223, than in the luminal subtypes: luminal A 8.3%; 107/1284, luminal B HER2 negative 12.2%; 23/188, luminal B HER2 positive 16%; 36/225. Luminal A and B HER2 negative subtypes showed a preference for solely bone metastases (43%; 56/130) which was rare in triple negative breast cancer (6.8% 3/44). If bone metastases occurred in triple negative breast cancer they mostly appeared together with visceral and/or brain metastatic disease (27%; 12/44). Solely visceral metastases were found in the HER2 enriched subtype (46.7%; 14/30), luminal B HER2 positive (38.9%; 14/36), and triple negative breast cancer (20.2%; 19/44). Brain metastases were more frequently observed in triple negative breast cancer (22.7%; 10/44). Overall survival rate at 5 years for metastatic disease was 38.5% (95%CI 28.2-52.5) for luminal A, 23.1% (95%CI 12.0-44.5) for luminal B (HER2 negative), 11.9% (95%CI 5.5-25.7) for luminal B (HER2 positive), 27.6% (95%CI 14.4-52.8) for HER2 enriched and 6.5% (95%CI 2.4-17.1) for triple negative subtype.
Conclusion: Different patterns of metastatic disease were seen according to the subtypes of breast cancer. An individualized tumor aftercare that includes screening for visceral metastasis might improve prognosis of patients with luminal B HER positive, HER enriched and triple negative subtype. Further investigation on patients eligible for metastatic surgery should be performed with longer follow up and evaluated with respect to post-interventional survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to review the current literature on cartilage and meniscal T2 relaxation time. METHODS Electronic searches in PubMed were performed to identify relevant studies about T2 relaxation time measurements as non-invasive biomarker for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and cartilage repair procedures. RESULTS Initial osteoarthritic changes include proteoglycan loss, deterioration of the collagen network, and increased water content within the articular cartilage and menisci. T2 relaxation time measurements are affected by these pathophysiological processes. It was demonstrated that cartilage and meniscal T2 relaxation time values were significantly increased in subjects with compared to those without radiographic OA and focal knee lesions, respectively. Subjects with OA risk factors such as overweight/obesity showed significantly greater cartilage T2 values than normal controls. Elevated cartilage and meniscal T2 relaxation times were found in subjects with vs without knee pain. Increased cartilage T2 at baseline predicted morphologic degeneration in the cartilage, meniscus, and bone marrow over 3 years. Furthermore, cartilage repair tissue could be non-invasively assessed by using T2 mapping. Reproducibility errors for T2 measurements were reported to be smaller than the T2 differences in healthy and diseased cartilage indicating that T2 relaxation time may be a reliable discriminatory biomarker. CONCLUSIONS Cartilage and meniscal T2 mapping may be suitable as non-invasive biomarker to diagnose early stages of knee OA and to monitor therapy of OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the longitudinal association between physical activity levels and early degenerative cartilage changes in the knee, measured using T2 relaxation times over a period of 4 years in individuals without clinical or radiographic evidence of OA. DESIGN Cartilage T2 was measured at baseline and after 2 and 4 years in 205 subjects aged 45-60 years from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) incidence and normal cohorts with no knee pain (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score of zero), and a Kellgren Lawrence (KL) score of <2 at baseline. Physical activity was scored using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire, which was obtained yearly over 4 years. The relationship between physical activity and T2 was studied using a mixed model linear regression, including random effects, and adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS T2 values for all PASE tertiles progressed over the 4-year period. T2 progression was increased in the highest tertile of physical activity compared to the mid-tertile at the medial tibia (MT) (P = 0.041), patella (Pat) (P = 0.019), and average T2 of all knee compartments combined (P = 0.033). Subjects with the lowest 15% PASE scores showed significantly higher T2 progression compared to the mid-level physical activity group at the lateral femur (LF) (P = 0.025), lateral tibia (LT) (P = 0.043), medial femur (MF) (P = 0.044), tibiofemoral compartment (P = 0.017), patellofemoral compartment (P = 0.016), lateral compartments (P = 0.003), and average of all compartments (P = 0.043). CONCLUSION High and very low PASE scores were associated with greater progression of cartilage T2 measurements in asymptomatic, middle-aged individuals, suggesting accelerated cartilage matrix biochemical degeneration over time.
