Abstract
BACKGROUND The recurrence rate after hepatectomy for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) is high, and there is no consensus regarding the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) using oxaliplatin (doublet AC) in these patients. METHODS The present study included 91 patients who underwent hepatectomy for complete resection at our hospitals between 2008 and 2018. Based on whether or not they had undergone doublet AC, patients were divided into AC (n = 35) and non-AC (n = 56) groups. The recurrent risk was evaluated by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center clinical risk score (MSKCC-CRS). RESULTS The number of females and median age were higher in the AC group (51.4% vs 25.0%, p = 0.010 and 67 vs 61 years, p = 0.012, respectively). The median follow-up period was 45 months (range, 6-101 months). Doublet AC was an independent prognostic factor for 5-year relapse-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.225; 95%CI, 0.097-0.522; p < 0.001) and for 5-year overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.165; 95%CI, 0.057-0.476; p < 0.001) in multivariate analysis. In patients with a high risk of recurrence (MSKCC-CRS 3-5), 5-year relapse-free survival and 5-year overall survival was higher in the doublet AC group than in the non-AC group (p < 0.01). In low-risk patients (MSKCC-CRS 0-2), 5-year relapse-free survival and 5-year overall survival were similar between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Doublet AC could have a positive effect on prognosis after curative resection of CRLM, especially in high-risk patients. The selection of patients and AC regimen should take into consideration the risk of recurrence.

Abstract
Optimized surgical techniques and systemic therapy have increased the number of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) eligible for local treatment. To increase postoperative survival, we need to stratify patients to customize therapy. Most clinical risk scores (CRSs) which predict prognosis after CRLM resection were based on the outcome of studies in specialized centers, and this may hamper the generalizability of these CRSs in unselected populations and underrepresented subgroups. We aimed to externally validate two CRSs in a population-based cohort of patients with CRLM. A total of 1105 patients with local treatment of CRLM, diagnosed in 2015/2016, were included from a nationwide population-based database. Survival outcomes were analyzed. The Fong and more recently developed GAME CRS were externally validated, including in pre-specified subgroups (≤70/>70 years and with/without perioperative systemic therapy). The three-year DFS was 22.8%, and the median OS in the GAME risk groups (high/moderate/low) was 32.4, 46.7, and 68.1 months, respectively (p < 0.005). The median OS for patients with versus without perioperative therapy was 47.6 (95%CI [39.8, 56.2]) and 54.9 months (95%CI [48.8, 63.7]), respectively (p = 0.152), and for below/above 70 years, it was 54.9 (95%CI [49.3−64.1]) and 44.2 months (95%CI [37.1−54.3]), respectively (p < 0.005). The discriminative ability for OS of Fong CRS was 0.577 (95%CI [0.554, 0.601]), and for GAME, it was 0.596 (95%CI [0.572, 0.621]), and was comparable in the subgroups. In conclusion, both CRSs showed predictive ability in a population-based cohort and in predefined subgroups. However, the limited discriminative ability of these CRSs results in insufficient preoperative risk stratification for clinical decision-making.

Prognostic impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastasis: A propensity score matching comparative study. Int J Surg 2021; 94:106106. [PMID: 34536602 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2021.106106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous colorectal liver metastasis (SCRLM) is at an advanced tumor stage and requires multidisciplinary treatments. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is thought to be an effective treatment modality, but its prognostic impact is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with resectable SCRLM presented to eight university hospitals between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust baseline characteristics between patients who received NAC with those who underwent up-front hepatectomy. The prognostic impact of NAC was then evaluated. RESULTS The cohort comprised of 320 patients: 151 patients received NAC and the remaining 169 patients underwent up-front hepatectomy. After a 1:1 ratio of PSM, 102 patients per group were selected. Within the PSM cohort, 66% patients had multiple liver tumors, with 15% having five or more liver tumors. The median survival (95% confidence interval) periods for patients with and without NAC in the PSM cohort were 88.5 (68.4 - not reached) and 84.2 (52.1 - not reached) months, respectively (P = 0.51). On multivariate analysis, the postoperative events in these patients including operative complications and use of adjuvant chemotherapy after hepatectomy were prognostic factors with hazards (95% confidence interval) being 1.88 (1.18-2.98) and 0.65 (0.42-1.01), respectively. CONCLUSION This PSM study was restricted to patients with SCRLM and relatively advanced tumor stagings. NAC did not show any significant prognostic impact. While operative complications had a significant prognostic impact, use of adjuvant chemotherapy after hepatectomy had only a marginal prognostic impact. Reconsideration of indications for NAC is needed.

Abstract
Background Recurrence rates after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) are high and correlate with worse survival. Postoperative circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising prognostic biomarker. Focusing on patients with resected CRLM, this study aimed to evaluate the association between the detection of postoperative ctDNA, pathologic response and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Methods Twenty-three patients were selected from an ongoing phase-3 trial who underwent resection of RAS-mutant CRLM after induction systemic treatment. CtDNA analysis was performed by droplet digital PCR using blood samples collected at baseline, before and after resection. Pathologic response of CRLM was determined via the Tumour Regression Grading system. Findings With a median follow-up of 19.6 months, the median RFS for patients with detectable (N = 6, [26%]) and undetectable (N = 17, [74%]) postoperative ctDNA was 4.8 versus 12.1 months, respectively. Among 21 patients with available tumour tissue, pathologic response in patients with detectable compared to undetectable postoperative ctDNA was found in one of six (17%) and 15 of 15 (100%) patients, respectively (p < 0.001). In univariable Cox regression analyses both postoperative detectable ctDNA (HR = 3.3, 95%CI = 1.1–9.6, p = 0.03) and pathologic non-response (HR = 4.6, 95%CI = 1.4–15, p = 0.01) were associated with poorer RFS and were strongly correlated (r = 0.88, p < 0.001). After adjusting for clinical characteristics in pairwise multivariable analyses, postoperative ctDNA status remained associated with RFS. Interpretation The detection of postoperative ctDNA after secondary resection of CRLM is a promising prognostic factor for RFS and appeared to be highly correlated with pathologic response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) plays a crucial role in the process of cancer progression. Common gene mutations of colorectal cancer lead to the activation of the PI3k/Akt/mTOR pathway. In this study, we determined whether p-mTOR expression in colorectal liver metastases is a predictive marker of prognosis following liver resection. METHODS Eighty-one patients with colorectal liver metastases who had undergone curative resection were evaluated using immunohistochemistry of p-mTOR. Data regarding clinicopathological features and patient survival were analyzed. RESULTS The p-mTOR expression in colorectal liver metastases was detected in 55 (67.9%) patients. Patients whose metastases had high p-mTOR expression showed a significantly lower overall survival rate after resection as compared to patients with low p-mTOR expression (p = 0.016), while there was no significant difference in the disease-free survival between the two groups. Repeat resection for recurrence was performed more frequently in patients with p-mTOR positive than others (p = 0.024). Multivariate analysis showed that p-mTOR expression was an independent prognostic factor of overall survival after liver resection (p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS mTOR was frequently activated in colorectal liver metastases, and the p-mTOR expression was a biological marker for predicting the overall survival of patients with colorectal liver metastases following liver resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is continued debate about the survival benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (neoCT) in patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we included 201 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who underwent their first CRLM resection and achieved resection of all sites of disease. We compared the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between patients who received neoCT prior to CRLM resection with those who underwent CRLM upfront. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to adjust for potential confounders. RESULTS A total of 101 of 201 (51.2%) patients received chemotherapy prior to CRLM resection and 100 of 201 had surgery upfront. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression showed no statistically significant difference in the hazard of death for those given neoCT prior to resection of CRLM compared with surgery first for both OS and PFS (OS: hazard ratio 1.74, 95% confidence interval 0.85-3.55, P = 0.127, PFS: hazard ratio 1.42, 95% confidence interval 0.93-2.19, P = 0.107). CONCLUSION In our series of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who achieved surgical resection of all sites of disease, neoCT prior to CRLM resection was not associated with any survival benefit.

Is there a survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with liver oligometastases from colorectal cancer after curative resection? Cancer Commun (Lond) 2018; 38:29. [PMID: 29843800 PMCID: PMC5993126 DOI: 10.1186/s40880-018-0298-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2017] [Accepted: 03/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although colorectal oligometastases to the liver can potentially be cured with aggressive local ablation, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for such metastasis remains unclear. The present study explored the effects of ACT on patients with colorectal liver oligometastases (CLO) after curative resections and aimed to identify patients who could benefit from ACT. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 264 eligible patients with CLO who underwent curative resection between September 1999 and June 2015. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test; prognostic factors were a by Cox regression modeling. Results Among 264 patients, 200 (75.8%) patients received ACT and 64 (24.2%) did not receive ACT. These two groups did not significantly differ in clinicopathologic characteristics, and had comparable 3-year OS and RFS rates (RFS: 42.1% vs. 45.7%, P = 0.588; OS: 69.7% vs. 62.7%, P = 0.446) over a median follow-up duration of 35.5 months, irrespective of preoperative chemotherapy. ACT markedly improved 3-year OS in high-risk patients with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center clinical risk scores (MSKCC-CRS) of 3–5 (68.2% vs. 33.8%, P = 0.015), but presented no additional benefit in patients with MSKCC-CRS of 0–2 (72.2% vs. 78.6%, P = 0.834). In multivariate analysis, ACT was independently associated with improved OS in patients with MSKCC-CRS of 3–5. Conclusions ACT might offer a prognostic benefit in high-risk patients with CLOs after curative liver resection, but not in low-risk patients. Therefore, patients’ risk status should be determined before ACT administration to optimize postoperative therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Anal metastasis of colorectal cancer is very rare and is usually associated with a history of anal disease, including anal fistula, fissure, hemorrhoidectomy, and anastomotic injury. We report a case of rectal cancer with a synchronous anal metastasis consisting of adenocarcinoma of squamous cells without a history of anal disease. A 60-year-old woman had a chief complaint of melena. She had a 1.5-cm anal tumor on the perianal skin, and a Bollman type 2 rectal tumor on the Ra portion was found on colonoscopy. Biopsy of both tumors revealed a similar histology of well- to moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. There was no sign of metastases in lymph nodes or other organs. For the purpose of diagnosis and treatment, transperineal local resection of the anal tumor was performed, and it was histologically identified as adenocarcinoma of squamous cells with no invasion to muscles, lymph ducts, or microvessels. The pathological margin was free. Then, to achieve radical cure, laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) with D3 lymphadenectomy was performed. The histological diagnosis of the anal tumor was adenocarcinoma of squamous cells without invasion to muscles, lymph ducts, or vessels. The surgical margin was completely free. Immunohistochemical analysis of both tumors revealed similar staining patterns, and the final diagnosis was rectal cancer with metastasis to the anal skin. The patient received no postoperative therapy, and no recurrences have been observed 12 months after surgery. We expect that our sphincter-preserving surgical strategy provided a good prognosis for the synchronous rectal cancer and anal metastasis. This is a rare report of a case with an anal metastasis of colorectal cancer on perianal squamous cells without a history of anal disease that was resected while preserving anal function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study analysed the effect of age on survival in patients undergoing major hepatectomy (MH) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) with age was also assessed. METHOD Patients undergoing MH for CRLM between 1996 and 2011 were reviewed. Patients aged <75 or ≥75 were compared for disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) as well as impact of AC on survival. RESULTS Seven hundred twenty-seven patients underwent MH of which 105 (14 %) were aged ≥75. Morbidity was greater in the ≥75 group (25 versus 34 %, p = 0.048). No difference was noted in mortality. There was no difference in DFS between the two groups at 5 years (16.8 vs 18.9 months (p = 0.570). OS was longer in the <75 group (38.6 vs 32.0 months (p = 0.001). DFS was better in groups receiving AC than those not (<75 24.2 vs 12.2 months (p = <0.001) and ≥75 24 vs 12.1 months (p = 0.007)). OS in the ≥75 group was improved in the group receiving AC compared to the ≥75 group not (41.1 vs 16.6 months, p = 0.005). Age ≥75 was not an independent risk factor for reduced DFS on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Well-selected patients aged ≥75 should be considered for MH followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background Efforts to improve the outcome of liver surgery by combining curative resection with chemotherapy have failed to demonstrate definite overall survival benefit. This may partly be due to the fact that these studies often involve strict inclusion criteria. Consequently, patients with a high risk profile as characterized by Fong’s Clinical Risk Score (CRS) are often underrepresented in these studies. Conceptually, this group of patients might benefit the most from chemotherapy. The present study evaluates the impact of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk patients with primary resectable colorectal liver metastases, without extrahepatic disease. Our hypothesis is that adding neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to surgery will provide an improvement in overall survival (OS) in patients with a high-risk profile. Methods/Design CHARISMA is a multicenter, randomized, phase III clinical trial. Patients will be randomized to either surgery alone (standard treatment, arm A) or to 6 cycles of neo-adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, followed by surgery (arm B). Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age with liver metastases of histologically confirmed primary colorectal carcinoma. Patients with extrahepatic metastases are excluded. Liver metastases must be deemed primarily resectable. Only patients with a CRS of 3–5 are eligible. The primary study endpoint is OS. Secondary endpoints are progression free survival (PFS), quality of life, morbidity of resection, treatment response on neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, and whether CEA levels can predict treatment response. Discussion CHARISMA is a multicenter, randomized, phase III clinical trial that will provide an answer to the question if adding neo-adjuvant chemotherapy to surgery will improve OS in a well-defined high-risk patient group with colorectal liver metastases. Trial registration The CHARISMA is registered at European Union Clinical Trials Register (EudraCT), number: 2013-004952-39, and in the “Netherlands national Trial Register (NTR), number: 4893.

Nomograms for predicting the prognosis of stage IV colorectal cancer after curative resection: a multicenter retrospective study. Eur J Surg Oncol 2015; 41:457-65. [PMID: 25697470 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2015.01.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2014] [Revised: 01/02/2015] [Accepted: 01/19/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Although stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) encompasses a wide variety of clinical conditions with diverse prognoses, no statistical model for predicting the postoperative prognosis of stage IV CRC has been established. Thus, we here aimed to construct a predictive model for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after curative surgery for stage IV CRC using nomograms. METHODS The study included 1133 stage IV CRC patients who underwent curative surgical resection in 19 institutions. Patients were divided into derivation (n = 586) and validation (n = 547) groups. Nomograms to predict the 1- and 3-year DFS rates and the 3- and 5-year OS rates were constructed using the derivation set. Calibration plots were constructed, and concordance indices (c-indices) were calculated. The predictive utility of the nomogram was validated in the validation set. RESULTS The postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, depth of tumor invasion (T factor), lymph node metastasis (N factor), and number of metastatic organs were adopted as variables for the DFS-predicting nomogram, whereas the postoperative CEA level, T factor, N factor, and peritoneal dissemination were adopted for the nomogram to predict OS. The nomograms showed moderate calibration, with c-indices of 0.629 and 0.640 in the derivation set and 0.604 and 0.637 in the validation set for DFS and OS, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The nomograms developed were capable of estimating the probability of DFS and OS on the basis of only 4 variables, and may represent useful tools for postoperative surveillance of stage IV CRC patients in routine practice.

Recurrence patterns after resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Recent Results Cancer Res 2014; 203:243-52.

Abstract
Recurrence of metastatic disease after resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer remains a major problem as 70-80 % of patients will have a recurrence, most commonly in the liver or lung. To predict patterns of recurrence and outcome may guide follow-up and further treatment, as patients with recurrence might be candidates for repeated surgery or ablation therapy. A summary of studies shows that after hepatectomy 20-43 % will have a recurrence only in the remaining liver without extrahepatic disease, whereas 15-37 % will have a recurrence only to the lung. Early recurrence is associated with poorer outcome compared to late recurrence. Site of first recurrence after resection of liver metastases is predicted by several baseline variables; synchronous disease, primary tumor site, hepatic tumor size, CEA level, number of hepatic lesions, and RAS mutation status. Pattern of recurrence is a predictor for survival after hepatectomy, with liver-only and lung-only recurrences having the best survival. In the majority of patients with isolated hepatic or lung recurrence, repeated metastasectomy is possible resulting in a 40 % 5-year survival rate. Perioperative chemotherapy reduces the risk of liver recurrence after hepatectomy of colorectal cancer liver metastases.
