Effect of Neoadjuvant Systemic Chemotherapy With or Without Chemoradiation on Bowel Function in Rectal Cancer Patients Treated With Total Mesorectal Excision. J Gastrointest Surg 2019; 23:800-807. [PMID: 30350191 PMCID: PMC6430650 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-018-4003-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) impairs bowel function in patients with rectal cancer treated with total mesorectal excision (TME). The impact of other forms of neoadjuvant therapy such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone (NC) and induction chemotherapy followed by CRT (total neoadjuvant therapy or TNT) on postoperative bowel function has not been investigated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 176 rectal cancer patients treated between November 1, 2011, and August 31, 2017. All patients completed the MSKCC Bowel Function Instrument (BFI), a validated bowel function questionnaire, at least 6 months after TME and/or ileostomy reversal. Differences in BFI scores were compared across four groups (surgery alone, CRT, NC, and TNT) and also according to exposure to neoadjuvant RT and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A multivariable linear regression model was used to evaluate the independent relationship between exposure to neoadjuvant RT or chemotherapy and BFI. RESULTS BFI total scores were significantly different between the four groups (p = 0.008). Exposure to RT correlated with worse BFI total scores (p = 0.002), and no differences were found in BFI total score after exposure to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.92). In a linear regression model, only exposure to RT (β = - 5.1; 95% CI - 8.9 to - 1.3; p = 0.008) and tumor distance from the anal verge (β = 1.23; 95% CI 0.48 to 1.97; p = 0.001) were significantly correlated with BFI total score. CONCLUSION NC, whether administered alone or added to CRT, does not seem to impair bowel function. These data should be used to counsel rectal cancer patients when discussing neoadjuvant therapy options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still the need to optimize adjuvant treatment of colon cancer (CC). Standard adjuvant chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil (FU) and folinic acid (FA) was compared with a combination including irinotecan (Folfiri). The aim of the present report was to analyze overall survival (OS) after long-term follow-up, to summarize final recurrence rates and toxicity data, and to identify possible clinical and pathological factors associated with prognosis. METHODS Patients (CC stage IIb and III) were randomized to a 6-month treatment with FUFA or Folfiri. The trial was closed after 275 of 588 planned patients, 269 of which were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS 133 and 136 patients received FUFA and Folfiri, respectively. Adjuvant therapy was not completed for 16 FUFA (12.0%) and 44 Folfiri (32.4%) patients. Toxicities grade III and IV were observed in 17 (12.8%) patients treated with FUFA and in 50 (36.8%) patients treated with Folfiri. Recurrences occurred in 46 of 133 (34.6%) and in 47 of 136 (34.6%) patients who received FUFA and Folfiri, respectively. 5-year OS rates were 69.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 61.2-77.1) for FUFA and 72.7% (95% CI: 63.9-79.8) for Folfiri. OS was associated with tumor grading (1 & 2 vs. 3), tumor sub-stage (II vs. IIIa vs. IIIb vs. IIIc), and tumor location (left vs. right colon). CONCLUSION Folfiri cannot be generally recommended for adjuvant chemotherapy of CC. Besides tumor grading and sub-staging, prognosis of CC may depend on tumor location. Left-sided tumors had a significantly better prognosis irrespective of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Watson for oncology (WFO) is a cognitive computing system providing decision support. We evaluated the concordance rates between the treatment options determined by WFO and those determined by a multidisciplinary team (MDT). METHODS We reviewed the medical charts of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer who visited the MDT at a single tertiary medical center from November 2016 to April 2017. WFO classified the treatment options for specific patients into three categories: 'Recommended', 'For consideration', and 'Not recommended'. Concordance rates between the WFO- and MDT-determined chemotherapy options, and the factors that potentially influence the concordance rate, were analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients with colorectal cancer met with the MDT from Nov. 2016 to Feb. 2017. The mean age of the patients was 62 years (range: 34-86 years), and more patients were male (47/69) than female. Of the 69 patients, 51 (73.9%) were diagnosed with colon cancer, of whom 46.4% received the same regimen recommendation from WFO ('Recommended') as they did from the MDT. After inclusion of the 'For consideration' category from WFO, the concordance rate increased to 87.0%. The concordance rate between MDT and NCCN guidelines was 97.1%, and that between the WFO and NCCN guidelines was 88.4%. The concordance rates between WFO and MDT were significantly lower in patients with stage II, IIIC, or IV disease (P<0.001), and the colorectal cancer stage was the only statistically significant factor discriminating between WFO and MDT. CONCLUSIONS The concordance rate between chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer determined by MDT versus WFO recommendations was 46.4%. After including the 'For consideration' category from WFO, the concordance rate increased to 88.4%. Further modification and improvement of the WFO prioritizing algorithm used to recommend treatment may increase the usefulness of WFO in the clinic.

Abstract
Previous literatures reported insulin-like growth factor-2 messenger RNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) is a poor prognostic marker for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, basic research on the effect and biological role of IGF2BP3 in CRC was still scare. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis were used to examine IGF2BP3 expression level in tumors and paired normal tissues from CRC patients. Tissue microarrays with 192 CRC patients were subjected to immunohistochemical staining to analyze the prognostic value of IGF2BP3. Proliferation assays, migration assays, and xenograft tumor formation in nude mice were performed to assess the biological role of IGF2BP3 in CRC cells. IGF2BP3 expression was significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared with the matched normal tissues both in messenger RNA and protein level and was associated with worse prognosis. IGF2BP3 knockdown made cell cycle arrest to impair the proliferation ability of CRC cells and further inhibited the xenograft tumor growth in nude mice, also inhibited the migration ability of CRC cells via inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Therefore, the research demonstrated that increased IGF2BP3 expression promoted the aggressive phenotypes of CRC cells. Targeted IGF2BP3 could be a novel and effective gene therapy for CRC patients to make a better prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stage III colorectal cancer is an indication for adjuvant chemotherapy; however, there is no definite view on the selection of regimen. If the recurrence can be predicted, it can serve as the indicator of regimen selection. The present study aimed to predict the recurrence of stage III colorectal cancer by constructing a simple scoring system. METHODS The information of stage III cases that underwent curative surgery was obtained from two facilities and analyzed. A scoring system was constructed from the analysis results and evaluated based on the cases from a different facility. RESULTS Five factors were extracted by multivariate analysis: age > 65, male, rectum, ≥pN2 and CA19-9 > 37. When these parameters were scored as 1 point each, the score was correlated with the cumulative recurrence rate. Additionally, when cases were divided into three groups (≤1 point, 2 points, ≥3 points), the 5-year recurrence rate was as follows:, ≤1 point: 33.3%, 2 points: 42.1%, ≥3 points: 78.6%. The cumulative recurrence rate of ≥3 points was significantly higher than that of ≤1 point (P < 0.001). Similar results were obtained by evaluating that cases at a different facility (P = 0.032). Both cases with 2 points were located between ≤1 point and ≥3 points, reflecting the average recurrence rate of each institution. CONCLUSION As the SiS-SCORE presented the same result in the facility that was different from the base facility, it can be used widely. However, a prospective study is required to prove the usefulness of the SiS-SCORE.

Abstract
Activation of innate immune mechanisms within the dorsal root ganglion and spinal dorsal horn has been shown to play a key role in the development of neuropathic pain including paclitaxel-related chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Here, we tested whether similar mechanisms are generalizable to oxaliplatin-induced CIPN. After a single intraperitoneal injection of 3 mg/kg oxaliplatin, mechanical withdrawal threshold and the expression of C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and its receptor, CCR2, in the dorsal root ganglion were measured by behavioral testing and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. Mechanical responsiveness increased from the first day after oxaliplatin injection and persisted until day 15, the last day of this experiment. Immunohistochemical showed that the expression of CCL2/CCR2 started to increase by 4 hours after oxaliplatin treatment, was significantly increased at day 4, and then both signals became normalized by day 15. Cotreatment with intrathecal anti-CCL2 antibodies prevented the development of oxaliplatin-induced mechanical hyperresponsiveness, and transiently reversed established hyperalgesia when given 1 week after chemotherapy. This is the first study to demonstrate CCL2/CCR2 signaling in a model of oxaliplatin-related CIPN; and it further shows that blocking of this signal can attenuate the development of oxaliplatin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia. Activation of innate immune mechanisms may therefore be a generalized basis for CIPN irrespective of the specific class of agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant therapy for early-stage colorectal cancer improves survival. Biologic agents have shown promise as adjuncts to chemotherapy in metastatic colon cancer, but the effect on earlier stage cancer remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the additive effect of biologic agents to adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in colorectal cancer (all comers and subpopulations defined by microsatellite instability, BRAF and KRAS status, and stage). Only randomized controlled trials published between 2002 and 2017 in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were included. The control arm: chemotherapy alone, the intervention arm: chemotherapy with biologic agents. OUTCOMES overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival. RESULTS Six trials including 10,754 patients were included. OS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.15-3.03) and disease-free survival (HR 2.54, 95% CI 2.25-2.87) were significantly worse in the intervention arm. High heterogeneity was explained by subgroup analysis of different biologic agents (bevacizumab versus others); however, results still showed harm in the intervention arm across subgroups. Bevacizumab was associated with improved OS in patients with microsatellite instability (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.92); this was the only indication of benefit for a biomarker-defined subpopulation. Analyses by tumor stage failed to demonstrate advantage with use of a biologic agent; however, it explained heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The addition of biologic agents to adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of high-risk stage II and III colorectal cancer is associated with worse survival outcomes. The only subgroup of patients that may benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to adjuvant chemotherapy is those with microsatellite unstable tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomic location of primary tumors across the colon correlate with survival in the metastatic setting, whereas left-sided tumors may exhibit superior survival compared with right-sided tumors. The Oncotype Recurrence Score (RS) assay is a clinically validated predictor of recurrence risk in patients with stage II colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous studies had indicated that without adjuvant chemotherapy, CDX2-negative stage II CRC tumors are associated with a lower rate of disease-free survival than CDX2-positive stage II CRC tumors. We aimed to evaluate whether these two validated prognostic biomarkers may correlate with primary tumor location, and whether tumor location may reflect differential prognosis in stage II CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with T3 mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-P) stage II CRC for whom RS assay was performed. Pathological report was reviewed for exact primary tumor location and CDX2 immunostaining. RS and CDX2 expression were correlated with primary tumor location. RESULTS The analysis included 1,147 patients with MMR-P stage II CRC (median age 69 years [range 29-93]). Tumor distribution across the colon was as follows: 46% (n = 551) were right-sided and 54% (n = 596) were left-sided. RS was higher in right-sided tumors (p = .01). The RS results gradually decreased across the colon (cecum, highest score; sigmoid, lowest score; p = .04). Right-sided tumors exhibited more CDX2-negative tumors (p = .07). CONCLUSION Our study indicates that right-sided colorectal tumors may display worse prognosis compared with left-sided tumors in MMR-P stage II CRC. Primary tumor location may serve as a prognostic factor that should be taken into account for recurrence risk assessment and consideration of adjuvant treatment. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Sidedness matters, even in stage II colorectal cancer (CRC). Using two previously established prognostic tools, the Oncotype DX assay and CDX2 expression, this study found that right-sided tumors may display worse prognosis compared with left-sided tumors in mismatch repair-proficient stage II CRC. Therefore, primary tumor location should be taken into account for recurrence risk assessment and consideration of adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. With advances in treatment, colorectal cancer is being transformed from a deadly disease to an illness that is increasingly curable. With this transformation has come increased interest in the unique problems, risks, needs, and concerns of survivors who have completed treatment and are cancer-free. They often suffer late/long-term side effects of therapies that may compromise their QoL such as fatigue, sleep difficulty, fear of recurrence, anxiety, depression, negative body image, sensory neuropathy, gastrointestinal problems, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. In this review, we discuss what is known about early colorectal diagnosis, staging, treatments and their long-term effects on quality of life and survivorship care.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Therapy (IDEA) collaboration was created to pool data from different studies worldwide in order to assess whether a shorter duration of adjuvant treatment in colon cancer could maintain the expected benefit while reducing toxicity. The results of the IDEA trials were clinically relevant. They confirmed a two- to sixfold reduction in neurotoxicity for the shorter duration across trials. Overall, the 3-year disease-free survival was very similar: only 0.9% lower for the 3 months group. However, the results were partially unexpected, because they revealed a difference among chemotherapy regimens (CAPOX better than FOLFOX) and risk groups within stage III. The similar outcome between 3 and 6 months of CAPOX coupled with the substantial reduction in toxicity makes us use the CAPOX regimen for 3 months for most stage III patients. An exception to this general rule is the patient with very high risk, i.e., either T4N1b-T4anyN2 or anyTN2b where we use 6 months of CAPOX. Our take from the trial results is also that FOLFOX should never be given for 3 months and preferably not used at all in the adjuvant setting. The conduction of the IDEA enterprise was truly global. The European contribution was major with three fourths of patients enrolled in the four European trials. Herein, we review the results of the "3 versus 6" trials and the literature regarding the interpretation of the collected data in Europe and in the rest of the world.

Safety and efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma after first-line treatment with sorafenib. BMC Cancer 2018; 18:1250. [PMID: 30545331 PMCID: PMC6293528 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-018-5173-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Accepted: 12/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Before the targeted therapies era, cytotoxic chemotherapy (CCT) was an option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), even with the lack of supporting evidence. Since the last decade, sorafenib has been established as the first-line therapy. Although new agents are being incorporated, CCT is still considered in regions where new drugs are not available or for patients who progressed through the approved therapies and remain in good clinical condition. We aimed to describe our experience regarding the use of CCT as second-line treatment after sorafenib. METHODS A database of 273 patients was evaluated. Patients that received CCT after sorafenib progression were selected for the analysis. Descriptive statistics was used for categorical and continue variables. Median survival was estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves. Variables were found to be significant if the two-sided p value was ≤ 0.05 on multivariate testing using the Cox regression model. RESULTS Forty-five patients received CCT; 33 (73.3%) had Child-Pugh classification A, and 34 (75.6%) had stage C according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system. The most used regimen was doxorubicin in 25 patients (55.6%). Median overall survival (OS) was 8.05 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.73 - 9.88 months). The 6-month and 1-year survival probability was 52.4% and 27.36%, respectively. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1 and disease control with sorafenib was independently associated with better OS in patients treated with CCT. Any-grade toxicities were observed in 82.2% and grade 3-4 in 44.4% of the patients. CONCLUSION In accordance with previous studies, CCT had a notable rate of adverse events. The poor prognosis of this cohort suggests that CCT may not alter the natural history of HCC after sorafenib progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Capeox is widely used as an adjuvant chemotherapy regimen of colorectal cancer that does not require central vein catheter insertion. However, oxaliplatin-related vascular pain with peripheral administration is a major adverse event. We assessed the preventive effect of Celecoxib on oxaliplatin-related vascular pain. METHODS A multicenter study of the Yokohama Clinical Oncology Group (YCOG) in Japan. This study was an open label, randomized non-comparative phase II study between Capeox without Celecoxib (C+ Group) and with it (C- group). The primary endpoint was the appearance frequency of grade ≥ 2 vascular pain according to the Verbal Rating Scale (VRS). RESULTS Between October 2012 and February 2014, 81 patients were recruited to this study and randomly divided into 2 groups: 38 patients in the C- group and 39 patients in the C+ group. Four cases were excluded at the analysis stage because they had not received the allocated intervention. The rate of grade ≥ 2 vascular pain was 55.3% in the C- group and 53.8% in the C+ group (p = 1.000). CONCLUSIONS Celecoxib was unable to prevent oxaliplatin-related vascular pain in this study. However, it may be able to decrease the vascular pain that patients already have.

Abstract
The management of locally-advanced rectal cancer involves a combination of chemotherapy, chemoradiation, and surgical resection to provide excellent local tumor control and overall survival. However, aspects of this multimodality approach are associated with significant morbidity and long-term sequelae. In addition, there is growing evidence that patients with a clinical complete response to chemotherapy and chemoradiation treatments may be safely offered initial non-operative management in a rigorous surveillance program. Weighed against the morbidity and significant sequelae of rectal resection, recognizing how to best optimize non-operative strategies without compromising oncologic outcomes is critical to our understanding and treatment of this disease.

Efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy after resection of pulmonary metastasis from colorectal cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis. Eur J Cancer 2018; 106:69-77. [PMID: 30471650 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2018.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Revised: 09/26/2018] [Accepted: 10/06/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer are resected due to the favourable 5-year overall survival rates of 30-60% reported in many studies. However, the efficacy of subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear. PATIENT AND METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of 1237 patients who underwent surgical resection of pulmonary metastasis from colorectal cancer at 46 Japanese institutions between 2004 and 2008. Patients with non-curative resection, pre-operative chemotherapy, extra-thoracic metastasis, complications after surgery, and inadequate data were excluded. Then, a 1:1 propensity score nearest-neighbour matching between patients with and without adjuvant chemotherapy was performed, considering relevant co-variables, and survival of patients between groups was compared. RESULTS Data of 524 patients (surgery alone, 269 patients; surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy, 255 patients) were used for matching. From each group, 192 patients with similar background characteristics between groups were selected. Adjuvant chemotherapies included fluoropyrimidine alone (71%), an oxaliplatin-containing regimen (23%), or an irinotecan-containing regimen (6%). In the surgery alone and adjuvant chemotherapy groups, 5-year overall survival rates were 68% and 69%, and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 40% and 34%, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-1.45, P = 1.00) and disease-free survival (HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.82-1.39, P = 0.62). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection of lung-limited metastasis from colorectal cancer did not show a survival benefit in the propensity score-matched analysis and should not be recommended without further clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Rectal cancer is predominantly a disease of older adults but current guidelines do not incorporate the associated specific challenges leading to wide variation in the delivery of cancer care to this subset of population. Here, we will review the current data available regarding the management of rectal cancer in older adults. RECENT FINDINGS The greatest challenge arises in the management of stage II/III disease as it involves tri-modality treatment that can be harder to tolerate by frail older patients. Response to neoadjuvant treatment is being used as a new marker to tailor further therapy and possibly avoid surgery. Oxaliplatin can be omitted from the adjuvant treatment without compromising outcomes. Physicians should perform geriatric assessment utilizing many validated tools available to help predict treatment tolerability and outcomes in older adults that can help personalize subsequent management. Most older adults can undergo standard therapy for stages I, II, or III rectal cancer with curative intent. Increasing evidence suggests that patients with a clinical complete response to neoadjuvant treatment may be observed closely with the possibility of avoiding surgery. Studies are evaluating alternate systemic treatments for advanced metastatic disease with the hope of maintaining quality of life without compromising cancer outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is reportedly expressed in colorectal tumors. However, the prognostic role of PD-L1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the clinicopathological and prognostic impact of PD-L1 in CRC. METHODS A comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and the ClinicalTrials.gov for publications about PD-L1 expression in colorectal cancer was done. The correlation between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features or survival outcomes was analyzed by odds ratios (OR) or hazard ratios (HR), at 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The results show that the pooled HR of (1.34, 95% CI 1.02-1.65, p = 0.01) indicated the association of PD-L1 expression with overall survival (OS) in CRC patients. Meanwhile, the expression of PD-L1 was positively correlated with the lymph node metastasis (OR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.51-0.95, p = 0.00), gender (OR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.76-0.98, p = 0.05) and tumor location (OR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.14-1.71, p = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that high expression of PD-L1 is associated with low OS in CRC. High PD-L1 expression may act as a negative factor for patients with CRC and help to identify patients suitable for anticancer therapy.

Bolus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) In Combination With Oxaliplatin Is Safe and Well Tolerated in Patients Who Experienced Coronary Vasospasm With Infusional 5-FU or Capecitabine. Clin Colorectal Cancer 2018; 18:52-57. [PMID: 30396850 DOI: 10.1016/j.clcc.2018.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Revised: 09/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary vasospasm associated with fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based chemotherapy is a potentially serious complication and reported to occur more often with infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine than with bolus 5-FU. Given the additional benefit of oxaliplatin over FP alone in the management of colorectal cancer, retaining oxaliplatin in the treatment regimen is desirable, but the safety of combining bolus 5-FU with oxaliplatin in patients with FP-induced vasospasm is not well established. We performed a retrospective review to explore the safety of substituting FLOX (bolus 5-FU, oxaliplatin, leucovorin) for FOLFOX (infusional 5-FU, oxaliplatin, leucovorin) and CAPOX (capecitabine, oxaliplatin) in patients who had FP-induced coronary vasospasm. PATIENTS AND METHODS The pharmacy database of Mayo Clinic was queried to identify patients who developed coronary vasospasm associated with FOLFOX or CAPOX between January 2011 and January 2018 and were subsequently treated with FLOX. Detailed information was obtained on these patients by retrospective electronic chart review. RESULTS A total of 10 patients (median age, 56.5 years; range, 36-77 years) were identified, 9 with FOLFOX and 1 with CAPOX. Among the patients treated with FOLFOX, 8 patients had chest pain as the presenting complaint that had started within 48 hours of beginning of the 5-FU infusion. In 9 of 10 patients, coronary vasospasm occurred with the first cycle of therapy. All patients made full recovery after discontinuation of infusional 5-FU or capecitabine. All patients subsequently received FLOX with 7 median bolus 5-FU doses (range, 2-22 doses) and 7 median oxaliplatin doses (range, 2-12 doses) at 7 days to 18 months after the event, with 7 patients treated within 4 weeks of the event. FLOX did not cause any cardiovascular adverse events in any of the 10 patients. CONCLUSION Bolus 5-FU in combination with oxaliplatin is safe in patients who have experienced coronary vasospasm with infusional 5-FU or capecitabine.

Abstract
The achievements in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer during recent years are based on a better understanding of the disease and individualized regimen planning. In adjuvant treatment, the highly important IDEA (International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy) study has shown that treatment duration can safely be reduced in selected patient populations. In patients with pN1 and pT1-pT3 tumors, 3 months of treatment with 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin is comparable with respect to 3-year survival rate to 6 months of treatment. For patients with N2 tumors, 6 months of treatment should stay the standard of care. The limitation of the duration of the adjuvant treatment is significantly reducing the chemotherapy-induced morbidity. New studies will explore the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in the adjuvant setting in microsatellite-instable (MSI) tumors. In metastatic disease, next to the required molecular testing for RAS and BRAF mutations, MSI testing is recommended. In the rare group of patients with a MSI tumor, immune-checkpoint inhibition is changing the course of the disease dramatically. Therefore, it is important to identify those patients early. For the RAS-mutant cases, no new and targeted treatment options have been identified yet. An optimal treatment strategy for those patients is urgently needed. RAS wild-type patients with tumors derived from the left side of the colon (splenic flexure to rectum) should be treated in first line with epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies. This selection by a molecular and a clinical marker increased the benefit derived by EGFR antibodies dramatically and defined the most effective treatment option for those patients. New selection criteria based on gene expression, methylation, and other molecular changes are explored and will further influence our therapeutic strategies in the future.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is common with specific semiological characteristics. When CIPN appears, there are many difficulties in guaranteeing sustained treatment, especially with optimal protocol. Moreover, CIPN have bad repercussions on quality of life after cancer disease. In this article, we have achieved a current state of CIPN and try to report details about semiological characteristics and topography. We have also produced some epidemiological data. Nonetheless, we have not voluntarily introduced treatment because it will be the topic of further work.

Rectal cancer patients younger than 50 years lack a survival benefit from NCCN guideline-directed treatment for stage II and III disease. Cancer 2018; 124:3510-3519. [PMID: 29984547 PMCID: PMC10450543 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.31527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Revised: 02/06/2018] [Accepted: 02/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of rectal cancer in patients younger than 50 years is increasing. To test the hypothesis that the biology in this younger cohort may differ, this study compared survival patterns, stratifying patients according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline-driven care and age. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base was queried for patients treated with curative-intent transabdominal resections with negative surgical margins for stage I to III rectal cancer between 2004 and 2014. Outcomes and overall survival for patients younger than 50 years and patients 50 years old or older were compared by subgroups based on NCCN guideline-driven care. RESULTS A total of 43,106 patients were analyzed. Younger patients were more likely to be female and minorities, to be diagnosed at a higher stage, and to have travelled further to be treated at academic/integrated centers. Short- and long-term outcomes were significantly better for patients younger than 50 years, with age-specific survival rates calculated. Younger patients were more likely to receive radiation treatment outside NCCN guidelines for stage I disease. In younger patients, the administration of neoadjuvant chemoradiation for stage II and III disease was not associated with an overall survival benefit. CONCLUSIONS Age-specific survival data for patients with rectal cancer treated with curative intent do not support an overall survival benefit from NCCN guideline-driven therapy for stage II and III patients younger than 50 years. These data suggest that early-onset disease may differ biologically and in its response to multimodality therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of tumor deposits in stage III colon adenocarcinoma is poorly described. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of tumor deposits on oncologic outcomes in patients with stage III colon cancer. DESIGN This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS The 2010 to 2014 National Cancer Database was queried for patients with resected stage III colon adenocarcinoma on final pathology. PATIENTS Patients were divided into 3 groups: lymph nodes+tumor deposits-, lymph nodes+tumor deposits+, and lymph nodes-tumor deposits+. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The main outcome was 5-year overall survival. RESULTS Of 74,577 patients, there were 55,800 patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits-, 13,740 patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits+, and 5037 patients with lymph nodes-tumor deposits+. The groups had similar patient and facility characteristics, but patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits+ had more advanced tumor characteristics. Patients with lymph nodes-tumor deposits+ were less likely to receive adjuvant systemic therapy (52% vs 74% lymph nodes+tumor deposits- and 75% lymph nodes+tumor deposits+, p < 0.001) and had a longer delay to initiation of adjuvant treatment (>8 weeks; 43% vs 33% lymph nodes+tumor deposits- and 33% lymph nodes+tumor deposits+, p < 0.001). Patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits+ had the lowest 5-year overall survival (46.0% vs 63.4% lymph nodes+tumor deposits- vs 61.9% lymph nodes-tumor deposits+, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, patients with lymph nodes-tumor deposits+ had similar 5-year overall survival compared with patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits- with ≤3 positive lymph nodes (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.87-1.01). Patients with lymph nodes+tumor deposits+ had worse prognosis regardless of the number of involved lymph nodes (≤3 +lymph nodes: HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.28-1.47 and ≥4 +lymph nodes: HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.22-1.38). Of those not receiving adjuvant treatment, patients with lymph nodes-tumor deposits+ were younger and had more adverse tumor features than lymph node+ disease. Lymph nodes-tumor deposits+ was independently associated with less delivery of adjuvant systemic therapy (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.80-0.82). LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its retrospective analysis of a prospective database. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis of patients with N1c disease is similar to nodal involvement without tumor deposits, yet these patients were less likely to receive adjuvant systemic therapy. Improvement in the delivery of appropriate care in these patients may increase survival and should be a target of future quality initiatives. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A666.

Abstract
Purpose This study investigated how adding Korean red ginseng extract (KRG) to folinic acid, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy affected the rate of splenomegaly in colon cancer. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 42 patients who were randomly assigned to receive a FOLFOX regimen with or without KRG. Spleen volume change was assessed by computed tomography scans measured before surgery (presurgery volume) and 3 weeks after cessation of the 12th cycle of FOLFOX (postchemotherapy volume). Results All patients showed increased spleen volume. No difference was observed in median presurgery and postchemotherapy volume between the KRG and control groups. However, a ratio defined as postchemotherapy volume divided by presurgery volume was significantly lower in the KRG group than the control group (median, 1.38 [range, 1.0–2.8] in KRG group vs. median, 1.89 [range, 1.1–3.0] in control group, P = 0.028). When splenomegaly was defined as a >61% increase in spleen volume, the rate of splenomegaly was significantly lower in the KRG group than the control group (28.6% vs. 61.9%, P = 0.03). KRG consumption was inversely associated with developing splenomegaly in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Adding KRG during FOLFOX chemotherapy for colon cancer might protect against oxaliplatin-induced splenomegaly. The protective effect of Korean red ginseng should be investigated with further research.

Abstract
The eagerly awaited results of the multi-continental International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) project have recently been presented at major oncological meetings. The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) was presented for 12,834 Stage III colon cancer patients in a pooled analysis of 6 individual noninferiority phase III randomized trials, all investigating three versus six months of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant therapy. Noninferiority (NI) could not be demonstrated for the whole population as the DFS hazard ratio (HR) of 1.07 with its 95% CI of 1.00-1.15 crossed the postulated NI boundary of 1.12. However, there was an expected reduction in the incidence of specific side effects with the three months treatment. NI could be demonstrated for the T3N1 subgroup (∼60% of patients, HR for DFS 1.01, 95% CI 0.90-1.12). Moreover, NI was also declared for the subgroup treated with the CAPOX regimen (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin, ∼40% of patients), but the CAPOX choice was physician-based and not subject to randomization. Overall, the IDEA results indicate that three months of therapy might be adequate for most of Stage III tumors; however, a small subset of these patients still have high risk of recurrence and death with short treatment duration. Precise predictors of benefit need to be identified, nonetheless tumor-intrinsic factors, such as tumor stage, might currently be considered as useful tools to inform the decision-making process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate, in a context of innovative multidisciplinary clinical practice, the efficacy of oxaliplatin in adjuvant administration (chemotherapy, CT) in relation to the total administered dose, in terms of prognosis with other clinical and therapeutic factors, in the heterogeneous model of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), which is characterized by a risk pattern of dominant systemic progression. METHODS Observational-analytical, retrospective, unicentric, non-randomized study of two cohorts of patients receiving FOLFOX-4 induction CT in neoadjuvancy, radiochemotherapy and surgery, differing in that one cohort did not receive any adjuvant post-surgical treatment and the other one received adjuvant CT with FOLFOX-4 cycles. A total of 212 patients from the Radiotherapy Oncology Service at the University Hospital Gregorio Marañon were studied: the neoadjuvant CT treatment group with oxaliplatin consisted of 110 patients and adjuvant CT treatment group with oxaliplatin consisted of 102 patients. The median follow-up time for the whole study population was 72 months (6 years). RESULTS The sociodemographic, clinical and diagnostic characteristics were very similar in both cohorts of patients, but with a pattern of therapeutic selection towards elements of adversity in pathological post-neoadjuvant staging. The dose of oxaliplatin in adjuvance (postoperative) superior to 6 cycles was positively associated with the locoregional control (LRC) at 5 years (P=0.012) and with the overall survival (OS) (P=0.048) at 5 years. In the responders to neoadjuvance with oxaliplatin [patients with tumor regression grade (TRG 3-4)], the dose of oxaliplatin greater than 5 cycles in adjuvance (postoperative) was positively associated with OS (P=0.06). And the dose of oxaliplatin in the range of 4-5 cycles in adjuvance (postoperative) was positively associated with distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in the cohort of responding patients (P=0.015 and 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The contribution of adjuvant oxaliplatin in the oncological evolution shows a favorable effect of LRC, DMFS, DFS and OS in the subgroups of patients that exhibit elements of response to neoadjuvant oxaliplatin (categories TRG 3-4, and pN0, downstaging T, downstaging N). Therefore, this neoadjuvant response profile with oxaliplatin, measured with highly reliable methodology (validated microscopic pathological response scales), defines a population of oxaliplatin-sensitive patients who benefits significantly from the administration of adjuvant oxaliplatin in sufficient cumulative doses (more of 5 cycles).

Abstract
Background Growing evidence has suggested that right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC) should be considered as different tumor entities. However, stage III colon cancer is currently treated as the same entity with uniform therapy. This study was aimed at investigating the prognostic influence of tumor location in patients with stage III colon cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection. Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed 274 eligible patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing curative tumor resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine between December 2007 and December 2013. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier and log-rank tests, and prognostic factors were identified by Cox regression methods. Results Patients with RCC exhibited lower hemoglobin levels (23.6% vs. 9.8%; P = 0.002), larger tumor size (60.6% vs. 40.9%; P = 0.001), and a higher proportion of 12 or more resected lymph nodes (86.4% vs. 64.6%; P < 0.001) than patients with LCC. Grade 1 neurotoxicity was more common in patients with RCC than in those with LCC (53.6% vs. 40.9%; P = 0.037). RCC was significantly associated with a shorter 3-year OS than LCC, whereas a difference was noted only for stage IIIC and not stage IIIA or stage IIIB colon cancer. Multivariate analyses revealed that RCC was independently associated with a worse 3-year OS (hazard ratio: 2.213; 95% CI: 1.063–4.606; P = 0.002). In addition, an increase in 3-year OS and DFS after 6–8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy was only observed in patients with RCC and not in those with LCC. Conclusion This study indicated that RCC has a worse prognostic outcome for stage III colon cancer, and a full course of adjuvant chemotherapy should be suggested for patients with RCC.

Abstract
The incidence of cardiac toxicity of 5-flurorouracil (5-FU) IV and capecitabine varies from 1.2 to 18%. The physiopathology of this toxicity is still under study, various hypotheses are mentioned. In the absence of identified prophylactic treatment, reintroduction of this cytotoxic is at risk. A discussion between oncologists and cardiologists is essential to estimate the balance between benefit and risk and the careful reintroduction of treatment. An alternative compound might be raltitrexed which is currently the treatment recommended in case of intolerance to fluoropyrimidines. The compound S-1 does not have any cardiac toxicity. Of a total of 2910 patients in phase II or III studies, no grade III or IV cardiovascular events were reported. However, the treatment is not reimbursed in France and therefore not available. The trifluridine/tipiracil, for which approval from French authorities was obtained in November 2016 for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in progress despite standard treatment lines, does not appear to have cardiac toxicity according to studies published to date. The pivotal phase III study (RECOURSE), that led to this marketing authorization, was performed in 800 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory and only one patient (less than 1% of patients) treated with trifluridine/tipiracil presented an episode of cardiac ischemia. Thus, trifluridine/tipiracil, which is well tolerated, could be an alternative to raltitrexed for patients with cardiovascular history contraindicating or discouraging the use of fluoropyrimidines.

Abstract
Fluoropyrimidines such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) form the foundation of a wide variety of chemotherapy regimens. 5-FU is in fact the third most commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of solid malignancies across the world. As with all chemotherapy, balancing the potential benefits of therapy against the risks of drug-related toxicity is crucial when clinicians and patients make shared decisions about treatment. 5-FU is the second most common chemotherapeutic drug associated with cardiotoxicity after anthracyclines, which can manifest as chest pain, acute coronary syndrome/myocardial infarction or death. Nevertheless a widespread appreciation of 5-FU-related cardiotoxicity and its implications is lacking amongst clinicians. In this review, we outline the incidence, possible risk factors, and likely pathophysiological mechanisms that may account for 5-FU-related cardiotoxicity and also highlight potential management strategies for this poorly understood clinical entity.

Abstract
Importance Treatment of locally advanced rectal (LARC) cancer involves chemoradiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. The concept of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), in which chemoradiation and chemotherapy are administered prior to surgery, has been developed to optimize delivery of effective systemic therapy aimed at micrometastases. Objective To compare the traditional approach of preoperative chemoradiation (chemoRT) followed by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with the more recent TNT approach for LARC. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cohort analysis using Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) records from 2009 to 2015 was carried out. A total of 811 patients who presented with LARC (T3/4 or node-positive) were identified. Exposures Of the 811 patients, 320 received chemoRT with planned adjuvant chemotherapy and 308 received TNT (induction fluorouracil- and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy followed by chemoRT). Main Outcomes and Measures Treatment and outcome data for the 2 cohorts were compared. Dosing and completion of prescribed chemotherapy were assessed on the subset of patients who received all therapy at MSK. Results Of the 628 patients overall, 373 (59%) were men and 255 (41%) were women, with a mean (SD) age of 56.7 (12.9) years. Of the 308 patients in the TNT cohort, 181 (49%) were men and 127 (49%) were women. Of the 320 patients in the chemoRT with planned adjuvant chemotherapy cohort, 192 (60%) were men and 128 (40%) were women. Patients in the TNT cohort received greater percentages of the planned oxaliplatin and fluorouracil prescribed dose than those in the chemoRT with planned adjuvant chemotherapy cohort. The complete response (CR) rate, including both pathologic CR (pCR) in those who underwent surgery and sustained clinical CR (cCR) for at least 12 months posttreatment in those who did not undergo surgery, was 36% in the TNT cohort compared with 21% in the chemoRT with planned adjuvant chemotherapy cohort. Conclusions and Relevance Our findings provide additional support for the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines that categorize TNT as a viable treatment strategy for rectal cancer. Our data suggest that TNT facilitates delivery of planned systemic therapy. Long-term follow-up will determine if this finding translates into improved survival. In addition, given its high CR rate, TNT may facilitate nonoperative treatment strategies aimed at organ preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colon cancer is common in the elderly, but owing to under representation in clinical trials, the benefit of standard therapies is uncertain in this age group. We aimed to clarify the efficacy and complications of adjuvant oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy for patients 70 years and older with stage III colon cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with stage III colon adenocarcinoma were identified from an Australian cancer registry (2006-2013). Multivariable Cox hazard regression was used to determine prognostic factors for all-cause mortality. Chemotherapy complications were quantified using discontinuation rates, hospital admissions, and mortality for 12 months after starting chemotherapy. RESULTS A total of 2164 patients fulfilled our inclusion criteria, including 1080 (49.9%) patients ≥ 70 years. Patients ≥ 70 years were less likely to receive adjuvant chemotherapy (60.7% vs. 89.6%) or oxaliplatin doublet chemotherapy (18.8% vs. 71.2%). Older patients receiving oxaliplatin were more likely to cease treatment early (18.7% vs. 7.6%) and require hospital admission (67.0% vs. 53.5%). The addition of oxaliplatin provided an overall survival benefit for patients < 70 years (hazard ratio, 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.3-0.6; P < .0001) and for patients ≥ 70 years (hazard ratio, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.5-0.9; P = .005). CONCLUSIONS Despite a modestly increased rate of hospital admission and early chemotherapy cessation, we demonstrate a persistent survival benefit for the addition of oxaliplatin to a fluoropyrimidine as adjuvant treatment for stage III colon cancer in elderly patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Recently treatments of advanced CRC have been immensely improved. In this study we reported the current state of advanced CRC in Iran regarding treatment and outcomes from 2000 to 2016.
METHODS
370 subjects with stage III or IV of the disease were included in this study. Pathological subtypes other than adenocarcinoma were excluded. Demographics and other relevant clinical data were collected.
RESULTS
Mean age at diagnosis was 55.4 ± 12.6 years. Significant differences regarding the age, sex, primary tumor complication and location, lymph node involvement, and tumor size were not detected between patients with stage III and IV. Overall survival rate at 5 years was 69.5% (95% confidence interval: 60.8% - 76.6%) and 21.73% (95% CI: 12.46% - 32.70%) for patients with stage III and IV, respectively. Analysis of prognostic factors revealed that tumor grade was an independent factor predicting poorer outcome (poorly differentiated vs. well or moderately differentiated). Furthermore, in stage IV of the disease, IVb subgroup was found to be associated with a poorer outcome compared with stage IVa.
CONCLUSION
Even with the acceptable survival rates and more effective treatments, it seems that clinicopathological characteristics have yet the most important prognostic effect in advanced CRC.

Abstract
Purpose Reduction of adjuvant treatment duration may decrease toxicities without loss of efficacy in stage III colon cancer. This could offer clear advantages to patients and health care providers. Methods In International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) France, as part of the IDEA international collaboration, patient with colon cancer patients were randomly assigned to 3 and 6 months of modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6: infusional fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) by physician choice. The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS), and analyses were descriptive. Results A total of 2,010 eligible patients received either 3 or 6 months of chemotherapy (modified intention-to-treat population); 2,000 (99%) had stage III colon cancer (N1: 75%, N2: 25%); 1,809 (90%) received mFOLFOX6, and 201 (10%) received CAPOX. The median age was 64 years, and the median follow-up time was 4.3 years. Overall, 94% (3 months) and 78% (6 months) of patients completed treatment (fluoropyrimidines ± oxaliplatin). Maximal grade 2 and 3 neuropathy rates were 28% and 8% in the 3-month arm and 41% and 25% in the 6-month arm ( P < .001). Final rates of residual neuropathy greater than grade 1 were 3% in the 3-month arm and 7% in the 6-month arm ( P < .001). There were 578 DFS events: 314 and 264 in the 3- and 6-month arms, respectively. The 3-year DFS rates were 72% and 76% in the 3- and 6-month arms, respectively (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.46; P = .0112). In the 3 and 6-month arms, respectively, for patients who received mFOLFOX6, the 3-year DFS rates were 72% and 76% (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.51); for the T4 and/or N2 population, they were 58% and 66% (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.82); and for the T1-3N1 population, they were 81% and 83% (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.89 to 1.49). Conclusion IDEA France, in which 90% of patients received mFOLFOX6, shows superiority of 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy compared with 3 months, especially in the T4 and/or N2 subgroups. These results should be considered alongside the international IDEA collaboration data.

Predictive potential of tumour-stroma ratio on benefit from adjuvant bevacizumab in high-risk stage II and stage III colon cancer. Br J Cancer 2018; 119:164-169. [PMID: 29755119 PMCID: PMC6048031 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-018-0083-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2017] [Revised: 03/20/2018] [Accepted: 03/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The tumour–stroma ratio (TSR) has proven to be an independent prognostic factor in colon cancer. methods Haematoxylin eosin tissue slides of patients from the AVANT trial were microscopically scored for TSR and categorised as stroma -low or stroma -high. Scores were correlated to the primary and secondary endpoint disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results Patients with stroma-high tumours (N = 339, 28%) had a significantly shorter DFS (p < 0.001) compared to stroma-low tumours (N = 824, 68%). In the bevacizumab-FOLFOX-4 arm, DFS was significantly shorter compared to FOLFOX-4 in stroma-low tumours, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.94 (95% CI 1.24–3.04; p = 0.004). In stroma-high tumours a trend for better DFS was seen in bevacizumab-FOLFOX-4 vs. FOLFOX-4 (HR 0.61 (95% CI 0.35–1.07; p = 0.08)). For bevacizumab-XELOX vs. FOLFOX-4, this was not seen (stroma-low HR 1.07 (95% CI 0.64–1.77; p = 0.80); stroma-high HR 0.78 (95% CI 0.47–1.30; p = 0.35)). OS showed the same pattern for bevacizumab-FOLFOX-4 vs. FOLFOX-4 with a HR of 2.53 (95% CI 1.36–4.71; p = 0.003) for stroma-low and HR 0.50 (95% CI 0.22–1.14; p = 0.10) for stroma-high tumours. For bevacizumab-XELOX vs. FOLFOX-4, HR 1.13 (95% CI 0.55–2.31; p = 0.74) for stroma-low tumours and HR 0.74 (95% CI 0.37–1.51; p = 0.41) for stroma-high tumours. Conclusions This exploratory analysis suggests a significantly shorter DFS and OS in stroma-low tumours with addition of bevacizumab to intravenous oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, contrary to stroma-high tumours, where a beneficial trend is observed.

BMC Cancer 2018; 18:538. [PMID: 29739356 PMCID: PMC5941462 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-018-4466-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2017] [Accepted: 04/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) has been a standard treatment option for locally advanced rectal cancer with improved local control. However, systemic recurrence despite neoadjuvant CRT remained unchanged. The only significant prognostic factor proven to be important was pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant CRT. Several efforts have been tried to improve survival of patients who treated with neoadjuvant CRT and to achieve more pCR including adding cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, chronologic modification of chemotherapy schedule or adding chemotherapy during the perioperative period. Consolidation chemotherapy is adding several cycles of chemotherapy between neoadjuvant CRT and TME. It could increase pCR rate, subsequently could show better oncologic outcomes. Methods Patients with advanced mid or low rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant CRT will be included after screening. They will be randomized and assigned to undergo TME followed by 8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (control arm) or receive 3 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy before TME, and receive 5 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (experimental arm). The primary endpoints are pCR and 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary endpoints are radiotherapy-related complications, R0 resection rate, tumor response rate, surgery-related morbidity, and peripheral neuropathy at 3 year after the surgery. The authors hypothesize that the experimental arm would show a 15% improvement in pCR (15 to 30%) and in 3-year DFS (65 to 80%), compared with the control arm. The accrual period is 2 years and the follow-up period is 3 years. Based on the superiority design, one-sided log-rank test with α-error of 0.025 and a power of 80% was conducted. Allowing for a drop-out rate of 10%, 358 patients (179 per arm) will need to be recruited. Patients will be followed up at every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years after the last patient has been randomized. Discussion KONCLUDE trial aims to investigate whether consolidation chemotherapy shows better pCR and 3-year DFS than adjuvant chemotherapy alone for the patients who received neoadjuvant CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer. This trial is expected to provide evidence to support clear treatment guidelines for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Oxaliplatin-containing adjuvant chemotherapy improves the survival of locally advanced rectal cancer patients with pathological complete response after pre-operative chemoradiotherapy. Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf) 2018; 6:195-201. [PMID: 30151204 PMCID: PMC6101492 DOI: 10.1093/gastro/goy009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2017] [Revised: 01/24/2018] [Accepted: 02/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The necessity for adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients who achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is still not identified. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic value of ACT in these patients. Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 105 consecutive LARC patients who achieved pCR after pre-operative CRT and underwent radical tumor resection between December 2008 and April 2014 in a comprehensive cancer center. Perioperative chemotherapy (CT) was administered by combining oxaliplatin with capecitabine (XELOX regimen). Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of patients with or without ACT were compared. Results Eighty-three (79.0%) patients received ACT and 22 (21.0%) did not. With a median follow-up of 49 months, the ACT group had a significantly higher 3-year DFS rate (92.8 vs 86.4%, p = 0.029) and 3-year OS rate (95.1 vs 86.1%, p = 0.026) than the non-ACT group. In multivariable analyses, the presence of ACT was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.271; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.080–0.916; p = 0.036) but not for OS. This benefit was more obvious in patients younger than 60 years via subgroup analysis (adjusted HR: 0.106; 95% CI: 0.019–0.606; p = 0.012). Conclusions Oxaliplatin-containing ACT may confer survival benefits to patients with pCR, particularly younger patients. However, the routine use of ACT in patients with pCR needs further validation.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the long-term outcomes of oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) administered concurrently with preoperative radiation and extended to the resting period in patients with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Methods: From January 2010 to December 2013, 45 patients were recruited. Study treatment consisted two cycles of XELOX regimen concomitant with preoperative radiation and then followed by an additional cycle of XELOX regimen between completion of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and surgery. Disease-free survival (DFS) time and overall survival (OS) time were analyzed. Results: The median follow-up was 51 months. Twelve (26.7%) patients developed local recurrence or distant metastasis, including 10 (22.2%) patients developing distant metastasis only, 1 (2.2%) patient local recurrence only, and 1 (2.2%) patient both local recurrence and distant metastasis. The estimated 3-year DFS and OS was 75.5% (95% CI, 63.0%-88.0%) and 88.6% (95% CI, 98.0%-79.2%), respectively. Receiving adjuvant chemotherapy was a significant predictor for DFS, with hazard ratio 0.24 (95% CI: 0.08-0.74). Conclusion: This intensified strategy with oxaliplatin and capecitabine (XELOX) administered concomitantly with neoadjuvant radiotherapy and then extended to the resting period in high-risk LARC patients is efficient. The long-term outcome is promising. Further study of this strategy is warranted.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer incidence and death rates have been declining over the past 10 years. However, it remains the second leading cause of death in men ages 60-79 and the third leading cause of death in men over 80 and in women over 60 years old. However, there is little data specific to the treatment of the elder patient, since few of these patients are included in trials. With the advent of improved therapies, there are many alternative options available. Still, no definitive consensus or guidelines have been defined for this particular patient population. The goal of this study is to review the literature on the management of rectal cancer in the elderly and to propose treatment algorithms to help the oncology team in treatment decision-making.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to examine factors associated with the use of adjuvant chemotherapy and the use of oxaliplatin after curative resection in stage III colon cancer patients and assesses the effect of their use in three-year survival. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted using Puerto Rico Central Cancer Registry-Health Insurance Linkage Database. The study cohort consisted of stage III colon cancer patients with a curative surgery in the period 2008–2012. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios. Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between adjuvant chemotherapy and oxaliplatin use and overall survival and risk of death, respectively. Results Overall, 75% of the study population received adjuvant chemotherapy during the study period. Factors statistically associated with receiving adjuvant chemotherapy within four months after resection included being married (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.64; 95% CI 1.18–2.28; p = 0.003), and being enrolled in Medicare (AOR 1.68; 95% CI: 1.03–2.75; p = 0.039) or Medicaid and Medicare dual eligible (AOR 1.66; 95% CI: 1.06–2.60; p = 0.028). However, patients aged ≥70 years were less likely to receive adjuvant chemotherapy (AOR 0.22; 95%CI 0.14–0.36; p<0.001). Discussion We observed a significant reduction in mortality in adjuvant chemotherapy treated patients. Similarly, patients <70 years treated with oxaliplatin had significantly lower risk of death than those who did not, although for patients ≥70 years no statistical significance was achieved. Future studies should assess effective interventions to reduce barriers to access guideline-based recommended colon cancer treatment.

Fu XL, Fang Z, Shu LH, Tao GQ, Wang JQ, Rui ZL, Zhang YJ, Tian ZQ. Meta-analysis of oxaliplatin-based versus fluorouracil-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. Oncotarget 2018; 8:34340-34351. [PMID: 28423720 PMCID: PMC5470972 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.16127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2016] [Accepted: 02/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis was conducted to compare oxaliplatin-based with fluorouracil-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL were systematically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) until January 31 2017. Review Manager (version 5.3) was used to analyze the data. Dichotomous data were calculated by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 8 RCTs with 6103 stage II or III rectal cancer patients were analyzed, including 2887 patients with oxaliplatin+fluorouracil regimen and 3216 patients with fluorouracil alone regimen. Compared with fluorouracil-based regimen group, oxaliplatin-based regimen group attained higher pathologic complete response (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.12−1.49, P = 0.0005) and 3-year disease-free survival (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.93−1.42, P = 0.21), but suffered greater toxicity (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.52−2.83, P < 0.00001). Also, there were no significant differences between two regimens in sphincter-sparing surgery rates (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.83−1.06, P = 0.33), 5-year disease-free survival (OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.93−1.42, P = 0.21) and overall survival (3-year, OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.98−1.34, P = 0.09; 5-year, OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.78−1.44, P = 0.70). In conclusion, the benefits of adding oxaliplatin to fluorouracil-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer remains controversial, and cannot be considered a standard approach.

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma component is an independent prognosticator of poorer survival in Stage III colorectal cancer patients. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2018; 47:1129-1134. [PMID: 29036423 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyx136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2017] [Accepted: 09/03/2017] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is an aggressive variant of adenocarcinoma found in several organs. Recent studies showed that IMPC in colorectal cancer leads to poorer prognosis than conventional colorectal cancer; however, the influence of IMPC on outcomes remains unclear. The present study aimed to identify the clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancers with IMPCs, and to evaluate the prognostic significance of IMPCs per se. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 837 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment. We compared the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with IMPCs to those without. Results Among 837 patients, 130 (16%) had an IMPC component, including 0 (0%) of 18, 9 (4.2%) of 215, 34 (13%) of 254, 59 (24%) of 249 and 28 (27%) of 101 patients with TNM Stages 0, I, II, III and IV, respectively. The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were significantly worse for Stage III patients with IMPC than for those without (55.3% vs. 78.7% respectively, P < 0.001), but not in patients with other stages. Multivariate analyses of patients with Stage III colorectal cancer found IMPC to be associated with significantly worse DFS (P = 0.026), as were high CEA levels, tumor budding and TNM staging. IMPC was only significantly associated with tumor invasion (P = 0.045) and venous invasion (P = 0.045) in Stage III tumors. Conclusions Identifying IMPC components in Stage III colorectal cancer is crucial, as their presence is significantly associated with poorer survival.
