Cardiac comorbidity in head and neck cancer patients and its influence on cancer treatment selection and mortality: a prospective cohort study
AbstractComorbidity assessment and a profound cardiac examination were implemented into pre-treatment diagnostics to analyze their influence on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) therapy selection and short-term mortality. Comorbidity was measured prospectively in 49 HNSCC patients using standard indices between 2012 and 2013. Cardiac examinations included electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and bicycle ergometry. Most patients had stage IV tumors (61  %), smoked (61 %), and showed alcohol abuse (57 %); 38 patients (78 %) received a multimodal therapy; 65 % had an adult comorbidity evaluation 27 index ≥2...

Intracranial hypertension as the primary symptom of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma primarily presenting IH and accompanied by subcutaneous metastases. This case emphasizes the importance of excluding malignancy from the differential diagnosis of IH.

E-067 Endovascular Approach in the Repair of the Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm Including Those with Wide Neck and Complex in Morphology-A Case Series
ConclusionsEndovascular repair of the MCA aneurysm inclosing those with wide neck and complex are not only safe and feasible, but associated with high long-term functional outcome. Therefore, endovascular options must be offered to patients prior to surgical clipping of a MCA aneurysm. Further study may be warranted.DisclosuresY. Lodi: None. V. Reddy: None.

Update on Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Therapy
Abstract In women at increased risk of breast cancer age ≥35 years, the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen should be discussed as an option to reduce the risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. In postmenopausal women, raloxifene, anastrozole, and exemestane should also be discussed as options for breast cancer risk reduction. Risk reduction with SERMs continues for at least 10 years in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Tamoxifen is not recommended for women with a history of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or during prol...

Stroke after Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer – What is the Risk?
Treating head and neck squamous cell carcinomas with radiotherapy has been shown to cause damage to the cerebrovasculature. This retrospective cohort study found that any exposure to radiation was associated with a 46% higher hazard of stroke, and with radiotherapy as the sole treatment modality, 70% increased risk of stroke compared to surgery alone. Implications of this research speak to the need for adequate follow-up and survivorship care among patients that were treated with RT.

Resection of Intraabdominal Tumors With Cavoatrial Extension Using Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
Conclusions Intraabdominal malignancies with cavoatrial extension can be safely resected. Excellent local tumor control can be anticipated. Long-term surveillance is necessary to detect recurrence.

Radiotherapy Induced Atherosclerosis and Stroke Syndrome (RIASS) Causing Bilateral Vision Loss and Multifocal Strokes. A Case Report and Literature Review (P4.358)
Conclusions: Evidence-based guidelines for the management of asymptomatic and symptomatic RIASS are lacking. We recommend periodic surveillance with carotid duplex scan for early diagnosis and implementation of effective stroke-prevention therapies. Most studies are retrospective surgical case series on patients with extracranial carotid stenosis (ECS) and favor either stenting or endarterectomy. Neither approach is clearly superior, as no head-to-head trial comparing both procedures in this context exists. Bypass surgery has been used in cases of HNXRT associated ECS but the long term effect has not been demonstrated. Aty...

Status Epilepticus in Patients with SMART (P5.012)
CONCLUSIONS We describe three patients with SMART presenting with SE. Our cases raise the concern that SMART is not necessarily a migraine phenomenon but can be a form of focal SE associated with stroke-like symptoms. In patients with radiographic suspicion of SMART we suggest a low threshold for vEEG monitoring and aggressive anti-epileptic management.Disclosure: Dr. Fan has nothing to disclose.
