e16529 Background: Women with uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) are at increased risk for breast cancer and the converse is true. A genetic association between breast cancer and UPSC was recently described and counseling women faced with more than one cancer diagnosis can be difficult. Our objective was to evaluate recurrence rates of women with UPSC to those with UPSC and a personal history of breast cancer (UPSCBR). Methods: Data was collected for UPSCBR patients at two academic institutions between 7/1990 and 7/2012. Patient demographics, pathology, disease stage, and treatments were recorded. A UPSC literature review was performed focusing on recurrences per number of at-risk patients by stage. We used the fixed effect Mantel-Haenszel method to estimate the common pooled effect (recurrence rate) for the UPSC studies and compared these to UPSCBR patients. Results: Forty-three UPSCBR patients were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 72 (49-93). Twenty-six patients were Caucasian, 14 African-...
