DISP-03. FEMALE-SPECIFIC CANCER METASTASES TO THE BRAIN: OUTCOMES IN A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA

Abstract INTRODUCTION Cancer care in medically underserved areas (MUA) is challenging and not widely reported. This report seeks to characterize the outcomes of female patients with brain metastases from breast, ovarian, cervical, endometrial cancer who underwent surgical resection an MUA. METHODS Our institution’s electronic medical record was queried for a craniotomy 2013-2022. All metastasis or were included. The following variables collected: alive deceased, survival time, demographics, past history, location number, extent resection, time metastasis, recurrence. MUA defined by Health Resources & Services Administration’s database (data.hrsa.gov). RESULTS Nine had four endometrial, one cervical cancers. Metastases most commonly located posterior fossa. median age at surgery 65 years. primary diagnosis 2.1 Gross total (GTR) achieved 15/21 metastases. Recurrence occurred 7/15 after 10 months. At conclusion study, eight deceased (53%), two no known new (13%), (27%), (6.7%) lost follow-up. In died during 9.4 months, death 65.7 years, 7/8 GTR metastasis(es). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this first female-specific approximately nine which similar reported multi-center studies. Further studies are recommended identify manage disparities MUAs.
