Abstract only 512 Background: We recently witnessed a trend to de-escalate CT and escalate ET in adjuvant BC treatment (tx). However, there has been limited prior research investigating the differential impact on QoL of tx classes. We aimed to test the impact of CT and ET on QoL PROs 2 yrs after diagnosis (dx). Methods: CANTO (NCT01993498) is a multicenter prospective longitudinal study of stage I-III BC pts that characterizes long-term toxicities of BC tx. For this analysis we included 4262 pts recruited from 2012-14. QoL was extensively evaluated using the EORTC QLQ C30 and BR23. Linear regression modeling was performed, adjusting for demographic and clinical factors, with use of CT and/or ET as independent variables. Analyses were stratified by menopausal status due to different tx patterns and sequelae of CT. Results: Median age at dx was 56 yrs, 63% of pts were post (PostM) and 37% premenopausal (PreM), 80% had Charlson score 0, 91% stage I-II. 26% received mastectomy, 52% CT (preM 68%, postM 44%; 86% anthracycline+taxane) and 82% ET (preM 89% tamoxifen; postM 88% aromatase inhibitor). 32% preM pts had menses 1 year after ET initiation. Overall, QoL deteriorates 2 yrs after dx. ET negatively impacts more QoL domains than CT at 2 yrs. Also, young age, smoking, income, aggressive local tx and physiological distress are often associated with low QoL. In the stratified analyses, in postM pts, mostly ET (not CT) is associated with deteriorated QoL. In contrast, in preM pts, mostly CT (not ET) is associated with deteriorated QoL. Table shows eg of associations. Conclusions: In a large prospective cohort of BC survivors, detrimental QoL 2 yrs after dx is mostly associated with ET; however, negative effects of CT persist on preM. This differential effect on QOL should be considered when choosing optimal adjuvant therapy and appropriate selection of pts for ET escalation should be a research priority. [Table: see text]
