The Role of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Colorectal Liver Metastasectomy after Pre-Operative Chemotherapy: Is the Treatment Worthwhile?

ABSTRACT: Peri-operative chemotherapy has been proposed to improve the survival of patients with colorectal cancer hepatic metastases (CRCHM). However, the role of the adjuvant chemotherapy post-metastasectomy for CRCHM patients who have undergone pre-operative chemotherapy is still undetermined. We retrospectively analyzed the role of adjuvant chemotherapy post-metastasectomy on relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in 163 CRCHM patients who received pre-operative chemotherapy using a Kaplan-Meier curve and univariate/multiple Cox model. Ten patients with rapidly progressing disease were further excluded in a sensitivity analysis. Seven risk factors (metachronous/synchronous metastases, differentiated grade of the primary tumor, number of metastases, size of the max metastasis, duration of pre-operative chemotherapy, radiologic response and pathologic regression) were used to stratify patients and investigate the beneficial features of adjuvant chemotherapy post-metastasectomy. The results indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy post-metastasectomy prolonged both RFS (median RFS: 3.3 vs. 10.2 m, P = 0.002) and OS (median OS: 28.1 vs. 40.7 m, P = 0.005) in CRCHM patients who received pre-operative chemotherapy. After adjusting for other risk factors in a multiple Cox model, the adjuvant chemotherapy group was estimated to have a 54.0 % relapse-free survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.46, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.31 - 0.69, P < 0.001) and a 55.0 % overall survival (HR [95 % CI]: 0.45 [0.26 - 0.78], P = 0.005) advantage compared to patients without adjuvant chemotherapy. Additionally, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy post-liver resection remained in sensitivity analysis. After the risk stratification, patients with synchronous metastases, poor differentiation, ? 3 metastases per patient, size of the maximum metastasis >3 cm, a short duration of pre-operative chemotherapy, radiologic response and poor pathologic regression seem to benefit more from adjuvant chemotherapy. To sum up, adjuvant chemotherapy post-metastasectomy might be considered for CRCHM patients who have received preoperative chemotherapy, especially for those with high-risk factors.

Project description:BackgroundMetastatic small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) has a poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, high-quality data are lacking to guide treatment. This retrospective analysis was conducted to help characterize the treatment options for patients with metastatic SBA while providing clinically meaningful prognostic information.Patients and methodsIn total, 437 patients who initially presented with or developed metastatic SBA between September 1977 and September 2019 were identified from the MD Anderson Tumor Registry. Clinical data were collected from review of the medical record. Overall response rates (ORR), time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS) were assessed across various treatments and treatment lines.ResultsThe median OS from diagnosis of metastatic disease was 15.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 14.3-17.9]. Seventy-five patients (17.1%) underwent metastasectomy, which was associated with a median OS of 34.5 versus 17.1 months among patients who received chemotherapy alone (P < 0.001). Fluoropyrimidine plus platinum (n = 164) was the most common first-line chemotherapy, associated with an ORR of 59% and TTP of 8.1 months. Irinotecan with 5-FU (n = 101) was the most common second-line therapy associated with an ORR of 31% and TTP of 4.0 months. Twenty-two patients received immunotherapy; 5 of 6 patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) responded, while 0 of 16 with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) responded. Taxane-based chemotherapy was given to 34 patients with an ORR of 21% and a median TTP of 2.4 months. Among 11 patients who received anti-epidermal-growth-factor-receptor (EGFR) monotherapy, the best response was stable disease (SD) in 1 patient.ConclusionsIn well-selected patients with SBA, metastasectomy appears to be associated with improved OS. This improvement was seen across metastasectomy sites, including liver, lung and peritoneal. Anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) based immunotherapy was active for dMMR SBA but not pMMR SBA. While taxane-based chemotherapy demonstrates therapeutic activity, the activity of anti-EGFR therapy was limited.

Project description:BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the most common preventable cause of 30-day post-operative mortality, with many events occurring after hospital discharge. High-level evidence supports post-discharge VTE chemoprophylaxis following abdominal/pelvic cancer resection; however, some studies support a more tailored approach. Our objectives were to (1) identify risk factors associated with post-discharge VTE in a large cohort of patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection and (2) develop a post-discharge VTE risk calculator.MethodsPatients who underwent colorectal cancer resection from 2012 to 2016 were identified from ACS NSQIP colectomy and proctectomy procedure-targeted modules. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with post-discharge VTE. Incorporating pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative variables, a post-discharge VTE risk calculator was constructed and validated.ResultsOf 51,139 patients, 387 (0.76%) developed post-discharge VTE. Pre-operative factors associated with post-discharge VTE included BMI (e.g., morbidly obese OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.65-3.12 vs. normal BMI), and thrombocytosis (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.03-1.92). Intra-operative factors included operative time (4-6 h OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.12-2.17; > 6 h, OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.21-2.84, vs. < 2 h), and type of operation (e.g., open partial colectomy OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.30-2.16 vs. laparoscopic partial colectomy). Post-operative factors included anastomotic leak (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.31-3.21) and post-operative ileus (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.07-1.79). Using the risk calculator, the predicted probability of post-discharge VTE ranged from 0.04 to 10.29%. On a 10-fold cross validation, the calculator's mean C-Statistic was 0.65.ConclusionsPatient-specific factors are associated with varying rates of post-discharge VTE. We present the first post-discharge VTE risk calculator designed for use at the time of discharge following colorectal cancer resection.
