Abstract C125: Prostate specific antigen testing patterns and prostate cancer stage at diagnosis in Ohio cancer patients

Abstract Summary Statement This study aims to: 1) examine patterns of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing — diagnostic or screening — across subgroups of prostate cancer (PCa) patients; and 2) analyze patterns of PSA testing in relation to PCa stage at diagnosis. Background Recommendations for PSA tests, blood-based screenings used for PCa detection, are issued by the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Changes in national recommendations, as well as demographic and clinical information can influence the likelihood of an individual receiving a PSA test, and the subsequent PCa diagnosis. Methods Using data from the 2014-2016 linked Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) and Medicare database, we categorized PSA testing as diagnostic or screening, based on diagnosis and procedure codes. Bivariate analyses were conducted on several factors, including patient demographics, claims-based frailty measures, and certain social determinants of health, to evaluate their association with receipt of screening PSA and stage of PCa diagnosis. Two multivariable logistic regression models were created to identify factors associated with receipt of screening PSA test, and subsequently, of being diagnosed with distant stage PCa. Results After excluding individuals identified without any PSA testing in the three years prior to diagnosis (n = 964) and those with unknown staged cancer (n = 446), our final study population included 3034 Ohio men diagnosed with PCa between 2014-2016. The median age was 73 years. Being of older age at the time of PCa diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.95 [95% confidence interval: 0.94, 0.97]) was associated with significantly lower odds of being screened. Compared to non-frail men, pre-frail patients (aOR: 0.69 [0.57, 0.84]) and patients with mild to severe frailty (aOR: 0.54 [0.39, 0.75]) also had decreased odds of being screened. History of receipt of screening PSA tests was associated with lower odds of being diagnosed with distant stage disease (aOR: 0.55 [0.42, 0.72]). On the other hand, being of older age at the time of PCa diagnosis (aOR: 1.14 [1.12, 1.17]), having moderate to severe frailty (compared to non-frailty) (aOR: 4.30 [2.38, 8.02]), and being separated or divorced (compared to being married) (aOR: 1.75 [1.06, 2.78]), were associated with increased odds of being diagnosed with distant stage disease. Conclusions Younger age and lower gradients of frailty were strongly associated with receipt of screening PSA. In turn, receipt of screening PSA was associated with early stage PCa, while being older, having higher degrees of frailty, and being divorced or separated from a spouse, were associated with elevated odds of distant stage PCa. This study adds to existing evidence suggesting that PSA-based screening may promote earlier detection of prostate cancer in a real-world setting and challenges preexisting beliefs on the usefulness of PSA testing in older populations.

Abstract ADV05: From the golf course to education, outreach, and support for prostate cancer.

Abstract Central Ohio Men Against Prostate Cancer (COMAPC) is a community-based, all volunteer, non-profit organization. Our mission is to increase prostate cancer awareness and routine screening through education, support, and advocacy across cultural and economic barriers. Our primary focus is to reduce disparities that exist in prostate cancer among minorities and the medically underserved. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in African American men. An estimated 35,110 cases of prostate cancer were expected to occur among African American men in 2011, accounting for 40% of all cancers diagnosed in African American men. It was estimated that 5,300 deaths from prostate cancer would occur in African American men in 2011. In addition, African American men have the highest mortality rate for prostate cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the United States with the death rate being 1 in 22 cases compared to 1 in 38 cases for white men. Our goal is to help Central Ohio men and their families become more informed about prostate cancer, better informed about treatment options for the disease and encourage men to seek early screening. COMAPC provides prostate cancer education, outreach and support for men, the friends and families of at-risk men and those diagnosed with prostate cancer. Our efforts help people connect with those resources so they become more aware of prostate cancer, better informed about treatment options, and support men to seek early screening for prostate cancer. Individual COMAPC board members actively participate in national service and advocacy initiatives such as the U. S. Army Research and Materials Command Prostate Cancer Research Program. American Association of Cancer Research Survivor&amp;lt;-&amp;gt;Advocate Program, US Too National Prostate Cancer Education and Support Team, National Association of African American Prostate Cancer Advocates, National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, We Work for Health-Ohio, and State and National Congressional Lobby Days.

Abstract LB-63: From the Golf Course to Education: Outreach &amp; Support for Prostate Cancer

Abstract Central Ohio Men Against Prostate Cancer provides access to education, outreach and support for diagnosed or at-risk prostate cancer patients, their families, and friends. There is extensive medical information available online and through healthcare providers. The organization's goal is to help people connect with resources that can help them become more aware of prostate cancer, better informed about treatment options, and lead men to seek early screening for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of deaths in African American men. It was estimated that 3,690 deaths from prostate cancer would occur in African American men in 2009. African American men have the highest mortality rate for prostate cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. An estimated 27,130 cases of prostate cancer were expected to occur among African American men in 2009, accounting for 34 percent of all cancers diagnosed in African American men. Between 2001–2005, the average annual prostate cancer incidence rate was 59 percent higher in African American men than in white men. Numerous studies have shown that education and support have an impact on the decision of individuals to be screened for prostate cancer, resulting in early detection and diagnosis. The Central Ohio Men Against Prostate Cancer organization was founded in 2004 by a group of African American gentlemen who were golfing buddies. Since its inception, the group has raised awareness of prostate cancer among all men living in Central Ohio through education, outreach and fundraising. An annual golf tournament has donated funds to the Columbus Cancer Clinic to help cover costs of digital rectal examinations and prostate specific antigen tests for underserved men. The advocacy efforts of the group have extended to participation in national initiatives for prostate cancer, including memberships in the US Too National Prostate Cancer Education and Support Team, memberships in the National Association of Prostate Cancer Advocates, and service as an ad- hoc member of the U. S. Army Research and Materials Command Prostate Cancer Research Program. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs and Decreased Risk of Advanced Prostate Cancer: Modification by Lymphotoxin Alpha

The potentially protective effect of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on prostate cancer may only exist among certain subgroups of men, such as those with particular variants in inflammatory response genes. To investigate this, the authors undertook a case-control study (n = 1,012) of the association between NSAIDs and more advanced prostate cancer in Ohio men recruited between 2001 and 2004 and evaluated whether this association was modified by a functional polymorphism in the lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) gene (LTA C+80A, where the CC genotype results in higher LTA production). The authors observed an inverse association between aspirin or ibuprofen use and disease (odds ratio = 0.67, 95% confidence interval: 0.52, 0.87). This was modified by the LTA C+80A variant (p for interaction = 0.03): Among men with the CC genotype, the inverse association between NSAIDs and prostate cancer was substantially stronger (odds ratio = 0.43, 95% confidence interval: 0.28, 0.67). For men without the CC genotype, NSAID use was not associated with disease (p = 0.30). The authors observed similar associations when examining dose/duration of NSAID use. This suggests that any potential chemoprevention of prostate cancer by NSAIDs may be most appropriate for men with the LTA +80CC genotype.

The “Public Sentiment Building Society”

The Anti-Saloon League of America was a Midwestern, church-based, social reform group founded in 1895, whose drive for national prohibition played a major role in the ratification and subsequent enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment. The purpose of this article is to expand the current model of public relations history by examining the ideas and methods that the League established in its first fifteen years to generate public sentiment for a dry, saloonless nation. Many of these concepts not only echo what are considered today to be basic principles of public relations, but they were conceived and implemented at the turn of the century by two Ohio men who did not define themselves in terms of public relations and publicity practitioners but in their roles as ministers in fulfilling what they considered to be their religious duty of eliminating liquor in the U.S. The article concludes that while there is still much to learn about public relations from those already labeled as “pioneers, “such as Edward Bernays or John Hill there is even more to mine from those people or organizations who sought to influence public opinion and generate change in the pursuit of a cause or an idea.

Withdrawing Divorce Petitions:

Social exchange theory is often used to explain why couples marry and divorce, but there are few attempts to test the theory. In this paper we test the empirical utility of an exchange model for predicting divorce or withdrawel of divorce petitions. The model used considers material, symbolic, and affectional rewards, costs and alternative attractions for relationships. Two data sets are used to test the model. The first is court records data for those who withdrew their petitions versus those who divorced. The second is interviews of suburban Cleveland, Ohio men and women who filed for divorce but subsequently withdrew their divorce petitions. Discriminant function analyses indicate that an exchange model can predict divorce versus petition withdrawel. Implications for therapeutic practice are discussed.

Hegelianism in Nineteenth-Century Ohio

Around the middle of the last century, particularly in the decade preceding the Civil War, there was a group of Ohioans whose thought was notably influenced by the views of Georg W. F. Hegel. The group consisted of J. B. Stallo, Peter Kaufmann, Moncure Conway, and August Willich. All were intellectual leaders in their time and active in public affairs. While Kaufmann spent most of his adult years in Canton, the others were residents of Cincinnati during important years of their lives. All except Conway, as might be expected, were of German origin. They were not part of an organized philosophical association like that of the St. Louis after the Civil War. Stallo's thought was well known and highly regarded among the St. Louis Hegelians, but there is no evidence that there was an organized branch of the St. Louis movement in Cincinnati.2 The relationship among the Ohio men, rather, was one of mutual acquaintance, favorable attention to each other's views, and, in some cases, warm personal friendship. Stallo, Kaufmann, Conway, and Willich can be called Hegelians in the particular sense that their leading ideas show the influence of Hegel's philosophy either directly or through the views of others who were themselves distinctively indebted to Hegel. Only Stallo presented an extensive exposition and interpretation of Hegel's major writings,3 but all of the Ohio group subscribed to particular Hegelian ideas and communicated them to their contemporaries in a variety of ways through books, pamphlets, editorials, and public addresses. Their influence was felt more in the realm of public affairs than in institutions of higher education. As a teacher of German and mathematics in St. Xavier's College of Cincinnati in the early 1840's, Stallo had little opportunity to use and study the philosophy of Kant, Hegel, Schelling, and Oken to which he had been attracted in Germany. A few years later Asa Mahan of Oberlin College gave some
