Neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not improve survival for patients with high volume colorectal peritoneal metastases undergoing cytoreductive surgery. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:103. [PMID: 38637820 PMCID: PMC11025186 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03392-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM) affects 15% of patients at initial colorectal cancer diagnosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has been demonstrated to be a safe and feasible option, however there is limited data describing its efficacy in advanced peritoneal disease. This study evaluated the effect of NAC on survival in patients with high volume CRPM undergoing CRS with or without HIPEC. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients who underwent CRS with or without HIPEC for CRPM from 2004 to 2019 at our institution was performed. The cohort was divided based on peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) at surgery: Low Volume (PCI ≤ 16) and High Volume (PCI > 16). RESULTS A total of 326 patients underwent CRS with HIPEC for CRPM. There were 39 patients (12%) with High Volume disease, and 15 of these (38%) received NAC. Patients with High Volume disease had significantly longer operating time, lower likelihood of complete macroscopic cytoreduction (CC-0 score), longer intensive care unit length of stay and longer hospital stay compared to Low Volume disease. In High Volume disease, the NAC group had a significantly shorter median survival of 14.4 months compared to 23.8 months in the non-NAC group (p = 0.046). CONCLUSION Patients with High Volume CRPM achieved good median survival following CRS with HIPEC, which challenges the current PCI threshold for offering CRS. The use of NAC in this cohort did not increase perioperative morbidity but was associated with significantly shorter median survival compared to upfront surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to assess and compare the extent to which preoperative chemotherapy prior to CRS improves survival in patients diagnosed with CRCPM. METHODS We included 251 patients from 2012 to 2019 in our center. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was used to minimize the selection bias. Survival analysis was performed to compare the survival outcomes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify prognostic factors. RESULT The baseline characteristics were well balanced using IPTW (standardized mean difference < 0.1). Preoperative chemotherapy cannot significantly improve overall survival (HR, 1.03; 95% CI 0.71-1.49; P = 0.88). In subgroup analysis, we found that intestinal obstruction after preoperative chemotherapy significantly reduced survival (HR, 2.25; 95% CI 1.01-5.03; P = 0.048), while in the upfront surgery group, intestinal obstruction had no impact on prognosis. CONCLUSION For CRCPM patients treated with CRS, preoperative chemotherapy does not seem to prolong overall survival. Furthermore, the emergence of intestinal obstruction after chemotherapy may compromise the effectiveness of treatment, resulting in a worse prognosis. This finding has important clinical implications for treatment decisions.

Comparison of Neoadjuvant Systemic Chemotherapy Protocols for the Curative-Intent Management of Peritoneal Metastases from Colorectal Cancer, Regarding Morphological Response, Pathological Response, and Long-Term Outcomes: A Retrospective Study. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:3304-3315. [PMID: 36729351 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-13150-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Selected patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRPM) could be offered a curative-intent strategy based on complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS), potentially combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and perioperative systemic chemotherapy. The impact of different neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NACT) regimens remains unclear due to a lack of comparative data. METHODS Consecutive CRPM patients from a monocentric database who were treated with complete CRS after single-line NACT were included in this study. Chemotherapy regimens were tailored as a doublet drug (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) with/without targeted therapy (anti-epidermal growth factor receptor/bevacizumab) and triplet-drug combination (FOLFIRINOX). Morphological response (MR) was assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria, and pathological response (PR) was assessed using the Peritoneal Regression Grading Score (PRGS). Long-term oncologic outcomes were compared. RESULTS The cohort comprised 388 patients, including 127, 202, and 59 patients in the doublet, doublet + targeted, and triplet groups, respectively. MR rates were higher in the triplet (68.0%) and doublet + targeted groups (64.2%) when compared with the doublet group (42.4%, p = 0.003). Complete and major PRs were observed in 13.6% and 32.0% of patients, respectively. Higher MR rates were observed after doublet + targeted or triplet regimens, while no difference was observed for PR rates. In multivariate analysis, FOLFIRINOX was independently associated with better overall survival (hazard ratio 0.49, 95% confidence interval 0.25-0.96; p = 0.037). FOLFIRINOX also resulted in a higher rate of severe postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective study, a FOLFIRINOX regimen as NACT seemed to result in better long-term outcomes for CRPM patients after complete CRS/HIPEC, although with higher morbidity. Prospective studies are needed, including groups without NACT and those with FOLFIRINOX + bevacizumab.

Int J Cancer 2023; 152:363-373.

Abstract
The aim was to investigate gender differences in the likelihood to receive metastatic surgery, and to compare overall survival between men and women, among patients with synchronous metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a population-based setting. All Swedish adult patients diagnosed with synchronous mCRC in 2007-2016 were identified using the nationwide colorectal cancer database (CRCBaSe). Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression, comparing the odds of receiving treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival proportions and Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of all-cause mortality rates. All multivariable models were adjusted for age, ASA score, Charlson comorbidity index, year of diagnosis, location of primary tumor and single or multiple metastatic locations. A total of 12 201 patients met the study criteria. Women received 23% less metastatic surgery for mCRC (adjusted OR = 0.77, CI:0.69-0.86) and experienced a slightly higher mortality following diagnosis (adjusted HR = 1.09, CI:1.05-1.14). In analyses restricted to patients who received metastatic surgery, no significant differences in mortality were found. In conclusion, this population-based study showed that women less often received metastatic surgery of mCRC and experienced slightly higher all-cause mortality compared with men. The differences persisted despite adjustments of patient and cancer characteristics. Gender differences in receiving treatment are unacceptable if the underlying explanation cannot be motivated. Further studies are needed to understand if the differences are based on sex (i.e., biology) or gender (including clinically unmotivated differences in treatment approach).

Abstract
Peritoneal cancer (PC) is a dire finding, yet in selected patients, long-term survival is possible. Complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) together with combination immunochemotherapy is essential to achieve cure. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) are increasingly added to the multimodal treatment. The Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group (SPCG) is an interdisciplinary group of expert clinicians. It has developed comprehensive treatment algorithms for patients with PC from pseudomyxoma peritonei, peritoneal mesothelioma, gastric, and colorectal origin. They include multimodal neoadjuvant treatment, surgical resection, and palliative care. The indication for and results of CRS HIPEC and PIPAC are discussed in light of the current literature. Institutional volume and clinical expertise required to achieve best outcomes are underlined, while inclusion of patients considered for CRS HIPEC and PIPAC in a clinical registry is strongly advised. The present recommendations are in line with current international guidelines and provide the first comprehensive treatment proposal for patients with PC including intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The SPCG comprehensive treatment algorithms provide evidence-based guidance for the multimodal care of patients with PC of gastrointestinal origin that were endorsed by all Swiss clinicians routinely involved in the multimodal care of these challenging patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a well-recognised treatment option for the management of colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM). However, incorporating the routine use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) into this management plan is controversial.
Methods
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on perioperative morbidity and mortality, and long-term survival of patients with CRPM undergoing CRS and HIPEC.
Results
Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria (n = 2,463 patients). Ten were retrospective cohort, one was prospective cohort, and one was a prospective randomised by design. Patients who received NAC followed by CRS and HIPEC experienced no difference in major perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with patients who underwent surgery first (SF). There was no difference in overall survival at 3 years, but at 5 years NAC patients had superior survival (relative risk [RR] 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–1.54, P < 0.001). There were no differences in 1- and 3-year, disease-free survival (DFS) between groups. Study heterogeneity was generally high across all outcome measures.
Conclusions
Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not experience any increase in perioperative morbidity or mortality. The potential improvement in 5-year overall survival in patients receiving NAC is based on limited confidence due to several limitations in the data, but not sufficiently enough to curtail its use. The practice of NAC in this setting will remain heterogeneous and guided by retrospective evidence until prospective, randomised data are reported.
