Abstract
Background Currently, surgical resection is the mainstay for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) management and the only potentially curative treatment modality. Prognostication tools can support patient selection for surgical resection to maximize therapeutic benefit. This study aimed to develop a survival prediction model using machine learning based on a multicenter patient sample in Hong Kong. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2018 in four hospitals in Hong Kong were included in the study. Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards (CPH). A stepwise selection on Cox multivariable models with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was applied to a multiply-imputed dataset to build a prediction model. The model was validated in the validation set, and its performance was compared with that of Fong Clinical Risk Score (CRS) using concordance index. Results A total of 572 patients were included with a median follow-up of 3.6 years. The full models for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) consist of the same 8 established and novel variables, namely colorectal cancer nodal stage, CRLM neoadjuvant treatment, Charlson Comorbidity Score, pre-hepatectomy bilirubin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, CRLM largest tumor diameter, extrahepatic metastasis detected on positron emission-tomography (PET)-scan as well as KRAS status. Our CRLM Machine-learning Algorithm Prognostication model (CMAP) demonstrated better ability to predict OS (C-index =0.651), compared with the Fong CRS for 1-year (C-index =0.571) and 5-year OS (C-index =0.574). It also achieved a C-index of 0.651 for RFS. Conclusions We present a promising machine learning algorithm to individualize prognostications for patients following resection of CRLM with good discriminative ability.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is generally accepted for treatment of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRLM), but what is a reasonable interval between the latest NAC and surgery is still unknown. The aim of the current study was to investigate the proper timing of surgery after NAC. Subjects were 141 patients with CRLM who underwent NAC and then surgery were retrospectively identified from 2008 to 2020. They were divided into a short interval group (SIG, ≤ 4 weeks) and long interval group (LIG, > 4 weeks) using the software X-tile. The SIG was subclassified group into 3 time periods (1-2 weeks, 2-3 weeks, and 3-4 weeks) to assess the incidence of complications. Patients in the SIG were more likely to have significantly better recurrence-free survival (RFS) (3-year RFS of 47.4% vs. 20.5%, P = 0.043) and no difference in overall survival (OS) (3-year OS 76.1% vs. 79.9%, P = 0.635). The postoperative complication rate was 23.5% in the SIG and 14.0% in the LIG (P = 0.198). The postoperative complication rate in the 1-2 weeks subgroup was marginally higher than that in the > 4 weeks subgroup (35% vs. 14.3% P = 0.055). Multivariate analysis revealed that chemotherapy-free intervals of 1-2 weeks were an independent predictor of increased postoperative complications (OR = 0.263, 95% CI 0.7-0.985 P = 0.048). Patients who underwent surgery within 4 weeks of NAC had better RFS. In addition, 1-2 weeks was an independent factor influencing the development of more complications. For patients with CRLM, performing surgery within 2-4weeks of NAC was feasible and safe, and it did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications but it did prolong RFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery for complex primary and metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), such as liver resection and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), in academic settings has led to improved survival but is associated with complications up to 75%. Prehabilitation has been shown to prevent complications in non-academic hospitals. This pilot study aimed to determine the feasibility and potential efficacy of a multimodal prehabilitation program in patients undergoing surgery in an academic hospital for complex primary and metastatic CRC. METHODS All patients awaiting complex colorectal surgery, liver resection, or HIPEC from July 2019 until January 2020 were considered potentially eligible. Feasibility was measured by accrual rate, completion rate, adherence to the program, satisfaction, and safety. To determine potential efficacy, postoperative outcomes were compared with a historical control group. RESULTS Sixteen out of twenty-five eligible patients (64%) commenced prehabilitation, and fourteen patients fully completed the intervention (88%). The adherence rate was 69%, as 11 patients completed >80% of prescribed supervised trainings. No adverse events occurred, and all patients expressed satisfaction with the program. The complication rate was significantly lower in the prehabilitation group (37.5%) than the control group (70.2%, p = 0.020). There was no difference in the type of complications. CONCLUSION This pilot study illustrates that multimodal prehabilitation is feasible in the majority of patients undergoing complex colorectal cancer, liver resection, and HIPEC in an academic setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence-free survival has been used as a surrogate endpoint for overall survival in trials involving patients with resected colorectal liver metastases. We aimed to assess the correlation between recurrence-free survival and overall survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases to determine the adequacy of this surrogate endpoint. METHODS In this retrospective study and meta-analysis, we compiled an institutional cohort of consecutive patients who had complete resection of colorectal liver metastases from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY, USA) prospective database. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were aged 18 years or older, and underwent hepatectomy, with or without operative ablation, between Jan 1, 1991, and April 30, 2019. We estimated overall survival and recurrence-free survival probabilities at various timepoints using the Kaplan-Meier method, and we assessed pairwise associations between these endpoints using Spearman's rank correlation. We also did a meta-analysis of adjuvant phase 3 clinical trials for colorectal liver metastases to assess the correlation between hazard ratios (HRs) for recurrence-free survival and overall survival. We searched MEDLINE for articles of phase 3 randomised controlled trials analysing adjuvant treatment strategies for resected colorectal metastases from database inception to Jan 1, 2022. The titles and abstracts of identified studies were screened before full-text screening and summary data were either recalculated or extracted manually from the published Kaplan-Meier curves (depending on data availability). FINDINGS Data were available for 3299 patients in the institutional database, of whom 2983 were eligible for inclusion in our cohort. Median follow-up was 8·4 years (95% CI 7·9-9·1) , during which time there were 1995 (67%) disease recurrences and 1684 (56%) deaths. Median recurrence-free survival was 1·3 years (95% CI 1·3-1·4) and median overall survival was 5·2 years (95% CI 5·0-5·5). 1428 (85%) of 1684 deaths were preceded by recurrence, and median time from recurrence to death was 2·0 years (IQR 1·0-3·4). Pairwise correlations between recurrence-free survival and overall survival were low to moderate, with a correlation estimate ranging from 0·30 (SD 0·17) to 0·56 (0·13). In the meta-analysis of adjuvant clinical trials, the Spearman's correlation coefficient between recurrence-free survival HR and overall survival HR was r=0·20 (p=0·71). INTERPRETATION We found a minimal correlation between recurrence-free survival and overall survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases. Recurrence-free survival is an inadequate surrogate endpoint for overall survival in this disease setting. FUNDING US National Cancer Institute.

Ann Surg Oncol 2022; 29:6566-6576. [PMID: 35513588 PMCID: PMC9492568 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-022-11805-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment option for peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Because of considerable morbidity, optimal patient selection is essential. This study was designed to determine the impact of the onset of PM (synchronous vs. metachronous) on survival outcomes after CRS-HIPEC. Methods Patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC for colorectal PM in two academic centers in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2020 were eligible for inclusion. Patients were classified as synchronous (s-PM, i.e., diagnosis at time of presentation, staging, or primary surgery) or metachronous onset (m-PM, i.e., diagnosis during follow-up) of colorectal PM. Survival outcomes were compared between groups by Kaplan–Meier survival and Cox regression analyses. Results Of 390 included patients, 179 (45.9%) had synchronous onset of colorectal PM. These patients more often presented with higher TN-stage and poor differentiation/signet cell histology. Treatment with perioperative chemotherapy was more common in s-PM patients. m-PM patients experienced more serious postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III). There was no significant difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between s-PM (median 9 months, interquartile range [IQR] 5–15) and m-PM patients (median 8 months, IQR 5–17). Overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter for s-PM (median 28 months, IQR 11–48) versus m-PM patients (median 33 months, IQR 18–66, p = 0.049). Synchronous onset of PM was not independently associated with OS in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions Synchronous onset of colorectal PM was associated with poor tumor characteristics and more advanced disease, but was not an independent predictor of survival outcomes after CRS-HIPEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is assumed that the impact of primary tumor stage (PTS) on prognosis gradually weakens with increasing disease-free interval (DFI) from colorectal cancer resection to liver metastases. METHODS Data from 733 patients undergoing hepatectomy in the Hepato-pancreato-biliary Surgery Department I of Peking University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Early and late metastases were defined as DFI ≤ and >12 months, respectively. RESULTS In early metastases group, patients with T4 stage had a significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with T1-3 stage (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). Patients with N1-2 stage disease also demonstrated a worse RFS and OS than those with N0 stage (P = 0.006 and P = 0.007, respectively). In late metastases group, patients with T4 and T1-3 stages as well as patients with N1-2 and N0 stages, had comparable RFS (P = 0.395 and P = 0.996, respectively) and OS (P = 0.387 and P = 0.684, respectively). T and N stages were independent prognostic predictors only in patients with early metastases. CONCLUSION The impact of PTS on prognosis is diminished with increasing DFI and limited only to patients with early metastases.

Abstract
Claudin-2 promotes breast cancer liver metastasis by enabling seeding and early cancer cell survival. We now demonstrate that Claudin-2 is functionally required for colorectal cancer liver metastasis and that Claudin-2 expression in primary colorectal cancers is associated with poor overall and liver metastasis-free survival. We have examined the role of Claudin-2, and other claudin family members, as potential prognostic biomarkers of the desmoplastic and replacement histopathological growth pattern associated with colorectal cancer liver metastases. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed higher Claudin-2 levels in replacement type metastases when compared to those with desmoplastic features. In contrast, Claudin-8 was highly expressed in desmoplastic colorectal cancer liver metastases. Similar observations were made following immunohistochemical staining of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) that we have established, which faithfully retain the histopathology of desmoplastic or replacement type colorectal cancer liver metastases. We provide evidence that Claudin-2 status in patient-derived extracellular vesicles may serve as a relevant prognostic biomarker to predict whether colorectal cancer patients have developed replacement type liver metastases. Such a biomarker will be a valuable tool in designing optimal treatment strategies to better manage patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. Tabariès et al. describe that claudin 2 is a promoter of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Furthermore, high Claudin-2 expression is associated with shorter time to liver-specific recurrence and is a biomarker of replacement type CRC liver metastases.

[PMID: 34053447 PMCID: PMC8165798 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08318-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer, showing aggressive clinical behaviors and poor outcomes. It urgently needs new therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis of TNBC. Bioinformatics analyses have been widely used to identify potential biomarkers for facilitating TNBC diagnosis and management. Methods We identified potential biomarkers and analyzed their diagnostic and prognostic values using bioinformatics approaches. Including differential expression gene (DEG) analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, functional enrichment analysis, Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network construction, survival analysis, multivariate Cox regression analysis, and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF). Results A total of 105 DEGs were identified between TNBC and other breast cancer subtypes, which were regarded as heterogeneous-related genes. Subsequently, the KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these genes were significantly enriched in ‘cell cycle’ and ‘oocyte meiosis’ related pathways. Four (FAM83B, KITLG, CFD and RBM24) of 105 genes were identified as prognostic signatures in the disease-free interval (DFI) of TNBC patients, as for progression-free interval (PFI), five genes (FAM83B, EXO1, S100B, TYMS and CFD) were obtained. Time-dependent ROC analysis indicated that the multivariate Cox regression models, which were constructed based on these genes, had great predictive performances. Finally, the survival analysis of TNBC subtypes (mesenchymal stem-like [MSL] and mesenchymal [MES]) suggested that FAM83B significantly affected the prognosis of patients. Conclusions The multivariate Cox regression models constructed from four heterogeneous-related genes (FAM83B, KITLG, RBM24 and S100B) showed great prediction performance for TNBC patients’ prognostic. Moreover, FAM83B was an important prognostic feature in several TNBC subtypes (MSL and MES). Our findings provided new biomarkers to facilitate the targeted therapies of TNBC and TNBC subtypes.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts Recurrence Pattern in Patients with Resectable Colorectal Liver Metastases. Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:4320-4329. [PMID: 33886020 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-021-10000-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has value as a predictor of long-term outcomes in various cancer types. Its prognostic potential in patients with CRLM has not been thoroughly investigated. This original, retrospective study assessed the relationship between the preoperative NLR, survival outcomes, and recurrence patterns in patients after colorectal liver metastasis resection (CRLM). METHODS The prospectively maintained database of a tertiary medical center was queried for all patients who underwent CRLM resection between 2005 and 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: NLR <3 (normal) or >3 (high). Recurrence risk was analysed using Fine and Gray correction for competing risk method and cause specific analyses. RESULTS The cohort included 231 patients of whom 53 (23%) had a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. At presentation, 35% had synchronous disease and 48% had a solitary metastasis; median tumor size was 2 cm. Patients with a high NLR had a significantly higher rate of simultaneous colorectal resection (P = 0.01). A high NLR was independently associated with worse OS (P = 0.02), worse DFS (P = 0.03), and higher risk of recurrence (P = 0.048), specifically recurrence with an extrahepatic pattern (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS A high preoperative NLR was independently associated with poorer survival outcomes and extrahepatic recurrence pattern. The NLR appears to have prognostic importance in CRLM and may serve as a surrogate marker of aggressive systemic disease after resection. These findings warrant external validation, preferably in a prospective design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects and prognosis of concurrent and staged resections for the treatment of resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 118 patients with CRLM. The 59 cases in the observation group received concurrent resections, while the 59 cases in the control group received staged resections. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, hospital cost, postoperative complications, 5-year survival rate and 3-year progression-free survival rate were recorded for all patients. Factors that affect the prognosis of CRLM patients were analyzed. RESULTS The length of hospital stay, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital cost were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). The two groups were equivalent with respect to postoperative complications, 5-year survival rate and 3-year progression-free survival rate (P>0.05). Independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of CRLM included the number of liver metastasis, whether resection is feasible after recurrence, and RAS genotype (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Compared to staged resection for CRLM, concurrent resection has shorter operation time, less blood loss, and shorter length of hospital stay, while postoperative complications, long-term efficacy and survival benefits are comparable. Furthermore, the study has found that the number of liver metastasis, whether or not resection is feasible after recurrence, and RAS genotype are risk factors affecting the prognosis of CRLM.

Abstract
PURPOSE This population-based study determined the cumulative incidence (CI) of local, regional, and distant recurrences, examined metastatic patterns, and identified risk factors for recurrence after curative treatment for CRC. METHODS All patients undergoing resection for pathological stage I-III CRC between January 2015 and July 2015 and registered in the Netherlands Cancer Registry were selected (N = 5412). Additional patient record review and data collection on recurrences was conducted by trained administrators in 2019. Three-year CI of recurrence was calculated according to sublocation (right-sided: RCC, left-sided: LCC and rectal cancer: RC) and stage. Cox competing risk regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS The 3-year CI of recurrence for stage I, II, and III RCC and LCC was 0.03 vs. 0.03, 0.12 vs. 0.16, and 0.31 vs. 0.24, respectively. The 3-year CI of recurrence for stage I, II, and III RC was 0.08, 0.24, and 0.38. Distant metastases were found in 14, 12, and 16% of patients with RCC, LCC, and RC. Multiple site metastases were found often in patients with RCC, LCC, and RC (42 vs. 32 vs. 28%). Risk factors for recurrence in stage I-II CRC were age 65-74 years, pT4 tumor size, and poor tumor differentiation whereas in stage III CRC, these were ASA III, pT4 tumor size, N2, and poor tumor differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence rates in recently treated patients with CRC were lower than reported in the literature and the metastatic pattern and recurrence risks varied between anatomical sublocations.

Abstract
Currently, there are no markers to identify patients with liver-only or liver-dominant metastases that would benefit from hepatic surgery. Here we characterized histopathological growth patterns (HGPs) of liver metastases in a consecutive series of 36 breast cancer patients who underwent hepatic surgery. Survival analyses showed that the presence of a desmoplastic HGP in the liver metastases (a rim of fibrous tissue separating cancer cells from the liver parenchyma, present in 20 (56%) patients) is independently associated with favorable progression-free and overall survival when compared with the replacement HGP (cancer cells growing into the liver parenchyma, present in 16 (44%) patients).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with resected colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) who display only the desmoplastic histopathological growth pattern (dHGP) exhibit superior survival compared to patients with any non-desmoplastic growth (non-dHGP). The aim of this study was to compare the tumour microenvironment between dHGP and non-dHGP. METHODS The tumour microenvironment was investigated in three cohorts of chemo-naive patients surgically treated for CRLM. In cohort A semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry was performed, in cohort B intratumoural and peritumoural T cells were counted using immunohistochemistry and digital image analysis, and in cohort C the relative proportions of individual T cell subsets were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS One hundred and seventeen, 34, and 79 patients were included in cohorts A, B, and C, with dHGP being observed in 27%, 29%, and 15% of patients, respectively. Cohorts A and B independently demonstrated peritumoural and intratumoural enrichment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in dHGP, as well as a higher CD8+/CD4+ ratio (cohort A). Flow cytometric analysis of fresh tumour tissues in cohort C confirmed these results; dHGP was associated with higher CD8+ and lower CD4+ T cell subsets, resulting in a higher CD8+/CD4+ ratio. CONCLUSION The tumour microenvironment of patients with dHGP is characterised by an increased and distinctly cytotoxic immune infiltrate, providing a potential explanation for their superior survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Definitions regarding resectability and hence indications for preoperative chemotherapy vary. Use of preoperative chemotherapy may influence postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to assess the variation in use of preoperative chemotherapy for CRLM and related postoperative outcomes in the Netherlands. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM in the Netherlands between 2014 and 2018 were included from a national database. Case-mix factors contributing to the use of preoperative chemotherapy, hospital variation and postoperative outcomes were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Postoperative outcomes were postoperative complicated course (PCC), 30-day morbidity and 30-day mortality. RESULTS In total, 4469 patients were included of whom 1314 patients received preoperative chemotherapy and 3155 patients did not. Patients receiving chemotherapy were significantly younger (mean age (+SD) 66.3 (10.4) versus 63.2 (10.2) p < 0.001) and had less comorbidity (Charlson scores 2+ (24% versus 29%, p = 0.010). Unadjusted hospital variation concerning administration of preoperative chemotherapy ranged between 2% and 55%. After adjusting for case-mix factors, three hospitals administered significantly more preoperative chemotherapy than expected and six administered significantly less preoperative chemotherapy than expected. PCC was 12.1%, 30-day morbidity was 8.8% and 30-day mortality was 1.5%. No association between preoperative chemotherapy and PCC (OR 1.24, 0.98-1.55, p = 0.065), 30-day morbidity (OR 1.05, 0.81-1.39, p = 0.703) or with 30-day mortality (OR 1.22, 0.75-2.09, p = 0.467) was found. CONCLUSION Significant hospital variation in the use of preoperative chemotherapy for CRLM was present in the Netherlands. No association between postoperative outcomes and use of preoperative chemotherapy was found.
