Abstract
In clinical practice, the treatment of colon cancer is faced with the dilemma of metastasis and recurrence, which is related to immunosuppression and hypoxia. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a negative regulatory pathway of immunity. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is an important immunotherapy method. However, inadequate immunogenicity reduces the overall response rate of ICB. In this study, a tumor microenvironment-responsive nanomedicine (Cu-FACD@MnO2@FA) was prepared to increase host immune response and increase intracellular oxygen levels. Cu-FACD@MnO2@FA preferentially enriched at the tumor site, combined with the immune checkpoint inhibitor alpha PD-L1, induced sufficient immunogenicity to treat colon cancer. Immunofluorescence detection of tumor cells and tissues showed that the expression of hypoxa-inducing factor 1α was significantly down-regulated after treatment and the expression of immunoactivity-related proteins was significantly changed. In vivo treatment in a bilateral tumor mouse model showed complete ablation of the primary tumor and efficient inhibition of the distal tumor. In this study, for the first time, the oxygenation effects of MnO2-coated Cu-doped carbon dots and chemodynamic therapy and a strategy of combining with immuno-blocking therapy were used for treating colon cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the value of multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) radiomic model for preoperative prediction of recurrence and/or metastasis (RM) as well as survival benefits in patients with rectal cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 234 patients from two centers with histologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma was conducted. All patients were divided into three groups: training, internal validation (in-vad) and external validation (ex-vad) sets. In the training set, radiomic features were extracted from T2WI, DWI, and contrast enhancement T1WI (CE-T1) sequence. Radiomic signature (RS) score was then calculated for feature screening to construct a rad-score model. Subsequently, preoperative clinical features with statistical significance were selected to construct a clinical model. Independent predictors from clinical and RS related to RM were selected to build the combined model and nomogram. RESULTS After feature extraction, 26 features were selected to construct the rad-score model. RS (OR = 0.007, p < 0.01), MR-detected T stage (mrT) (OR = 2.92, p = 0.03) and MR-detected circumferential resection margin (mrCRM) (OR = 4.70, p = 0.01) were identified as independent predictors of RM. Then, clinical model and combined model were constructed. ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the combined model were higher than that of the other two models in three sets. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that poorer disease-free survival (DFS) time was observed for patients in pT3-4 stages with low RS score (p < 0.001), similar results were also found in pCRM-positive patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The mp-MRI radiomics model can be served as a noninvasive and accurate predictors of RM in rectal cancer that may support clinical decision-making.

RAS Mutations Predict Recurrence-Free Survival and Recurrence Patterns in Colon Cancer: A Unicenter Study in Morocco. Cancer Control 2024; 31:10732748241229290. [PMID: 38270484 PMCID: PMC10812104 DOI: 10.1177/10732748241229290] [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: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To date, only a few studies have investigated the role of molecular alterations in cancer recurrence. This exploratory study aimed to evaluate the impact of molecular alterations on the time and site of recurrence in patients with stage I-IV CRC and to identify the risk factors predicting recurrence-free survival in colon cancer. METHODS A total of 270 patients were retrospectively included. We assessed the full RAS status using Sanger and pyrosequencing. MSI status was determined by immunohistochemical analysis. Molecular alterations were correlated with recurrence timing (early or late), recurrence patterns, and recurrence-free survival. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. RESULTS Of the 270 patients, 85 (31%) experienced recurrence, among whom 53% had mutant full RAS status, 48% had KRAS mutations, and 31.4% had KRAS p. G12V mutation subtype. Compared with those with late recurrence, patients with early recurrence were significantly older (P = 0.02) and more likely to have poorly differentiated tumors, a higher rate of positive lymph nodes, KRAS mutations, and especially KRAS p. G12V mutation variant. RAS mutation status, KRAS mutations, and rare mutations are more common in patients with lung cancer recurrence. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that differentiation, perineural invasion, full RAS mutation status, and KRAS codon 13 mutations were independent factors for recurrence-free survival in colon cancer. CONCLUSION In this cohort, the timing and patterns of recurrence appeared to be associated with the patient's molecular profile. KRAS codon 12 mutations were the worst predictors of recurrence-free survival at all stages in our population.

Abstract
Background Recurrent metastasis after radical resection in patients of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a great challenge for the world, in which genomic alterations play a major role in tumorigenesis. MUC4 plays a significant role in recurrence and metastasis in tumor. This study is aimed at exploring the association between MUC4 variants and metastatic recurrence of CRC. Methods Forty-seven patients relapsing with metastasis and 37 patients remaining disease-free postoperatively were enrolled. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) detected mutations. Mutation and mRNA expression data were downloaded from TCGA and cBioPortal databases. We analyzed the relationship between MUC4 variants and clinical parameters, as well as possible molecular mechanisms. Results MUC4 variants rs56359992 and rs781124621 were associated with survival in patients with CRC. Rs56359992 was more common in patients with metastatic recurrence. MAPK pathway, PI3K-Akt pathway, JAK-STAT pathway, cell cycle, WNT pathway and mTOR pathway were found to correlate with MUC4 mutation by GO/KEGG analysis, as well as resting and activated mast cell related to MUC4 mutation by CIBERSORT analysis. Conclusion Genetic variants of MUC4 with CRC may constitute a molecular signature of metastatic recurrence. MUC4 may become a new target for the treatment of CRC recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the clinical value of a new American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging prediction model based on lymph node ratio (LNR) in rectosigmoid cancer (RSC). METHODS The analysis included 1444 patients with nonmetastatic RSC diagnosed pathologically between 2010 and 2016 who were collected from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Results database. The AJCC N-stage was redefined according to the LNR cutoff point, and the ability of the new staging system to predict prognosis was compared with that of the AJCC TNM staging system. Data from 739 patients from our hospital were used for external validation. RESULTS According to the number of examined lymph nodes and LNR, the N stage was divided into five groups (LNR0-5). The 5-year OS of patients divided according to the new T lymph node ratio M (TLNRM) staging into stage I (T1LNR1, T1LNR2), IIA (T1LNR3, T2LNR1, T2LNR2, T2LNR3, T1LNR4, T3LNR1), IIB (T2LNR4), IIC (T3LNR2, T4a LNR1, T1LNR5), IIIA (T3LNR3, T2LNR5, T4b LNR1, T4a LNR2, T3LNR4), IIIB (T3LNR5, T4a LNR3, T4a LNR4, T4b LNR2), and IIIC (T4b LNR3, T4a LNR5, T4b LNR4, T4b LNR5) was significantly different ( P <0.05). Decision curve analysis showed that the net income of the new TLNRM staging system for different decision thresholds was higher than the prediction line of the traditional eighth TNM staging system. The smaller Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information suggested that the new staging system had a higher sensitivity for predicting prognosis than the traditional staging system. TLNRM II and III patients benefited from adjuvant chemotherapy, while adjuvant chemotherapy did not improve the prognosis of TNM II patients. These findings were confirmed by the external validation data. CONCLUSION The new TLNRM staging system was superior to the eighth edition AJCC staging system for staging and predicting the prognosis of patients with RSC and may become an effective tool in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cancer studies suffer from an overestimation of prediction of survival when both recurrence and death are of interest. This longitudinal study aimed to mitigate this problem utilizing a semi-competing risk approach evaluating the factors affecting recurrence and postoperative death in patients with colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This longitudinal prospective study was conducted in 284 patients with resected colorectal cancer who were referred to the Imam Khomeini Clinic in Hamadan, Iran, during 2001-2017. Primary outcomes were postoperative outcomes and patient survival, including time to recurrence (of colorectal cancer), time to death, and time to death after recurrence. All patients who were alive at the end of the study were censored for death and who did not experience recurrence of colorectal cancer were also censored for recurrent colorectal cancer. The relationship between underlying demographics and clinical factors and the outcomes was assessed using a semicompeting risk approach. RESULTS The results of the multivariable analysis showed that having metastasis to other sites (hazard ratio = 36.03; 95% CI = 19.48- 66.64) and higher pathological node (pN) stage (hazard ratio = 2.46; 95% CI = 1.32-4.56) were associated with a raised hazard of recurrence. The fewer chemotherapies (hazard ratio = 0.39; 95% CI = 0.17-0.88) and higher pN stages (hazard ratio = 4.32; 95% CI = 1.27-14.75) showed significantly higher hazards of death without recurrence. Having metastasis to other sites (hazard ratio = 2.67; 95% CI = 1.24-5.74) and higher pN stages (hazard ratio = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.02-3.61) were linked with the higher hazard of death after recurrence. CONCLUSION Considering findings on death /recu rrenc e-spe cific predictors obtained in this study to manage the outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer, tailored strategies for preventive and interventional plans should be deliberated.

Abstract
Introduction. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in economically developed countries, ranking 3rd and 2nd in the structure of morbidity and mortality, respectively. Current knowledge about the molecular features of colorectal cancer is necessary to implement the principle of personalized therapy.
Aim. To study regional features of tumor genomic landscape in colorectal cancer.
Materials and methods. The retrospective study from 2019 to 2022 included 153 patients with stage IIV colorectal cancer aged 32 to 80 years, with a median of 63.8 years. DNA samples extracted from paraffin blocks of tumor tissue were analyzed using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. The study patients included 43.8% of males and 56.2% of females.
Results. Somatic mutations were detected in 48.4% of patients. The maximum number of mutations was detected in the KRAS gene 60 (81%). The mutation rate was significantly higher in females versus males. KRAS mutations predominate in the colon compared to the rectum, accounting for 66.7 and 33.3%, respectively. In tumors of the right colon, these mutations were detected in 18.3% of cases, and in the left colon, 48.4%. NRAS mutations were found in 9.5% of cases, mainly in tumors of the left colon. BRAF mutations were diagnosed in 6 patients, 5 of them were women, and the tumors were localized in the right colon. The highest rate of KRAS mutations was observed in codons 12 and 13, accounting for 86.7% of cases. The G12V mutation occurred in the majority of patients (25%), followed by G12D (20%) and G12A (16.6%).
Conclusion. Somatic mutations in RAS and BRAF genes in colorectal cancer were detected in 48.4% of patients in the Tambov region. Among them, there is a predominance of KRAS mutations 81% in females. KRAS oncogenic mutations are predictors of treatment response and prognosis.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer cells can transfer the oncogene KRAS to distant cells, predisposing them to malignant transformation (Genometastasis Theory). This process could contribute to liver metastasis; besides, hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) have been found to be involved in liver malignant neoplasms. The objective of this study is to determine if mouse HPCs—Oval cells (OCs)—are susceptible to incorporate Kras GAT (G12D) mutation from mouse colorectal cancer cell line CT26.WT and if OCs with the incorporated mutation behave like malignant cells. To achieve this, three lines of OCs in different conditions were exposed to CT26.WT cells through transwell co-culture for a week. The presence of KrasG12D and capacity to form tumors were analyzed in treated samples by droplet digital PCR and colony-forming assays, respectively. The results showed that the KrasG12D mutation was detected in hepatic culture conditions of undifferentiated OCs and these cells were capable of forming tumors in vitro. Therefore, OCs are susceptible to malignant transformation by horizontal transfer of DNA with KrasG12D mutation in an undifferentiated condition associated with the liver microenvironment. This study contributes to a new step in the understanding of the colorectal metastatic process.

Abstract
Aim The prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) individuals after curative resection is not satisfactory due to the early recurrence. We sought to identify the affecting features of early recurrence in CRC patients. Methods A total of 3500 CRC patients underwent curative resection were retrospectively incorporated into our study. Among them, 246 patients exhibited tumor recurrence: 121 had early recurrence (≤1 year after operation) and 125 had late recurrence (>1 year after operation). A total of 246 CRC patients with recurrence were randomly assigned into the training group (N=177) or validation group (N=69) based on the ratio of 7:3. LASSO COX regression and support vector machine (SVM) were utilized to screen for the significant clinical indexes associated with the presence of early recurrence. Recurrent nomogram was created based on the above informative parameters to predict the probability of early recurrence. Results Proportion of advanced TNM stage, platelet count, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), CA-199, CA-125, lactate dehydrogenase, total bile acid (TBA), urea nitrogen were significantly higher in early recurrence group compared with that in late recurrence group. Results from LASSO COX regression and support vector machine (SVM) revealed that TNM stage, CA-199, CA125, SII and TBA were strong predictors for the presence of early recurrence among postoperative CRC patients in the training group. The recurrent nomogram based on the five predictors exhibited good predictive performance as calculated by C-index (0.846, 95% CI 0.789-0.902 in the training group and 0.799, 95% CI 0.697-0.902 in the validation group) for the prediction of early recurrence. Moreover, the recurrent nomogram exhibited not only encouraging calibration ability, but also great clinical utility both in the training group and validation group. Conclusion TNM stage, CA-199, CA125, SII and TBA were closely correlated with the presence of early recurrence of CRC patients. The recurrent nomogram held well predictive ability for the identification of CRC patients with early recurrence.

Abstract
Late recurrence (5 or more years) after radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare. This study aims to investigate the features of late recurrence in stage I–III CRC. A total of 9,754 stage I–III patients with CRC who underwent radical surgery without receiving neoadjuvant therapy, at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC), were enrolled in this study. These patients were divided into three groups: early recurrence (3 months−2 years), intermediate recurrence (2–5 years), and late recurrence (over 5 years). The median duration of follow-up was 53.5 ± 30.1 months. A total of 2,341 (24.0%) patients developed recurrence. The late recurrence rate was 11.7%. Patients with a higher risk of late recurrence were more likely to be older, to be at the T4 stage, to have a higher degree of colon cancer, to have a lower frequency of signet ring cell carcinoma, to have fewer poorly differentiated tumors, to be at the early stage of CRC, along with less perineural and vascular invasions. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, differentiation, T stage, N stage, perineural, and vascular invasions as independent factors for late recurrence. Late recurrent CRC has some distinctive characteristics. Although recurrence over 5 years after surgery is infrequent, an enhanced follow-up is still needed for the selected patients after 5 years.

Resectable Colorectal Cancer: Current Perceptions on the Correlation of Recurrence Risk, Microbiota and Detection of Genetic Mutations in Liquid Biopsies. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:3522. [PMID: 34298740 PMCID: PMC8304269 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13143522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a highly lethal malignancy, although considerable progress has resulted from molecular alterations in guiding optimal use of available treatments. CRC recurrence remains a great barrier in the disease management. Hence, the spotlight turns to newly mapped fields concerning recurrence risk factors in patients with resectable CRC with a focus on genetic mutations, microbiota remodeling and liquid biopsies. There is an urgent need for novel biomarkers to address disease recurrence since specific genetic signatures can identify a higher or lower recurrence risk (RR) and, thus, be used both as biomarkers and treatment targets. To a large extent, CRC is mediated by the immune and inflammatory interplay of microbiota, through intestinal dysbiosis. Clarification of these mechanisms will yield new opportunities, leading not only to the appropriate stratification policies, but also to more precise, personalized monitoring and treatment navigation. Under this perspective, early detection of post-operative CRC recurrence is of utmost importance. Ongoing trials, focusing on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and, even more, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), seem to pave the way to a promising, minimally invasive but accurate and life-saving monitoring, not only supporting personalized treatment but favoring patients' quality of life, as well.
