Abstract Background There have been controversial voices on if hepatitis B virus infection decreases the risk of colorectal liver metastases or not. This study aims to the find the association between HBV infection and postoperative survival of colorectal cancer and the risk of liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients. Methods Patients who underwent curative surgical resection for colorectal cancer between January 2011 and December 2012 were included. Patients were grouped according to anti-HBc. Differences in overall survival, time to progress, and hepatic metastasis-free survival between groups and significant predictors were analyzed. Results Three hundred twenty-seven colorectal cancer patients were comprised of 202 anti-HBc negative cases and 125 anti-HBc positive cases, and anti-HBc positive cases were further divided into high-titer anti-HBc group (39) and low-titer anti-HBc group (86). The high-titer anti-HBc group had significantly worse overall survival (5-Yr, 65.45% vs. 80.06%; P < .001), time to progress (5-Yr, 44.26% vs. 84.73%; P < .001), and hepatic metastasis-free survival (5-Yr, 82.44% vs. 94.58%; P = .029) than the low-titer group. Multivariate model showed anti-HBc ≥ 8.8 S/CO was correlated with poor overall survival (HR, 3.510; 95% CI, 1.718–7.17; P < .001), time to progress (HR, 5.747; 95% CI, 2.789–11.842; P < .001), and hepatic metastasis-free survival (HR, 3.754; 95% CI, 1.054–13.369; P = .041) in the anti-HBc positive cases. Conclusions Higher titer anti-HBc predicts a potential higher risk of liver metastases and a worse survival in anti-HBc positive colorectal cancer patients.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Liver metastases from colorectal cancer are an important public health problem due to the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer worldwide. Synchronous colorectal liver metastasis has been associated with worse survival, but this prognosis is controversial. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the recurrence-free survival and overall survival between groups of patients with metachronous and synchronous colorectal hepatic metastasis. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with colorectal liver metastases seen from 2013 to 2016, divided into a metachronous and a synchronous group. The Cox regression model and the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test were used to compare survival between groups. RESULTS: The mean recurrence-free survival was 9.75 months and 50% at 1 year in the metachronous group and 19.73 months and 63.3% at 1 year in the synchronous group. The mean overall survival was 20.00 months and 6.2% at 3 years in the metachronous group and 30.39 months and 31.6% at 3 years in the synchronous group. Patients with metachronous hepatic metastasis presented worse overall survival in multivariate analysis. The use of biological drugs combined with chemotherapy was related to the best overall survival prognosis. CONCLUSION: Metachronous colorectal hepatic metastasis was associated with a worse prognosis for overall survival. There was no difference in recurrence-free survival between metachronous and synchronous metastases.

Abstract Backgrounds The inflammatory biomarker “C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR)” has been reported to significantly correlate to a variety of human cancers. However, there are conflicting results regarding the prognostic value of CAR in colorectal cancer. Previous studies mainly assessed patients in Eastern countries, so their findings may not be applicable to the Western population. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prognostic value of pre-treatment CAR and outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods We conducted a systematic search for eligible literature until October 31, 2020, using PubMed and Embase databases. Studies assessing pre-treatment CAR and outcomes of colorectal cancer were included. Outcome measures included overall survival, disease-free survival, progression-free survival, and clinicopathological features. The pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used as effective values. Results A total of 15 studies involving 6329 patients were included in this study. The pooled results indicated that a high pre-treatment CAR was associated with poor overall survival (HR 2.028, 95% CI 1.808−2.275, p < 0.001) and poor disease-free survival/progression-free survival (HR 1.768, 95% CI 1.321–2.365, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed a constant prognostic value of the pre-treatment CAR despite different study regions, sample size, cancer stage, treatment methods, or the cut-off value used. We also noted a correlation between high pre-treatment CAR and old age, male sex, colon cancer, advanced stage (III/IV), large tumor size, poor differentiation, elevated carcinoembryonic antigen levels, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the modified Glasgow prognostic score. Conclusions High pre-treatment CAR was associated with poor overall survival, disease-free survival, and progression-free survival in colorectal cancer. It can serve as a prognostic marker for colorectal cancer in clinical practice.

784 Background: To date, reasons for adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) omission and delay have not been extensively studies. This study aimed to evaluate factors affecting chemotherapy use and delay (≥8 weeks) after colorectal cancer surgery and their impact on survival. Methods: Between 2008 and 2013, consecutive 584 patients undergoing major resection for stage II and III colorectal cancer in a single tertiary referral center. Results: Among 584 patients with stage II and III diseases, AC was performed in 460 (78.8%) patients. Regimens included fluorouracil with folinic acid (n=257, 55.9%), FOLFOX (n=134, 29.1%), capecitabline (n=62, 13.5%), and tegafur-uracil (n=7, 1.5%). Factors affecting not receiving AC were older age (>80 years), American Society of Anesthesiologists score (≥3), presence of postoperative complication, and not receiving preoperative chemoradiation. Overall survival was 87.2% (AC +) and 58.5% (no AC, p<0.001) in stage II disease, and 79.5% (AC +) and 24.6% (no AC, p<0.001) in stage III disease, respectively. Recurrence-free survival was 83.7% (AC +) and 61.9% (no AC, p=0.003) in stage II disease, and 60.5%(AC +) and 21.8% (no AC, p<0.001) in stage III disease, respectively. Among 460 patients undergoing AC, AC was initiated within 8 weeks in 438 patients (95.2%) and after 8 weeks in 22 patients (4.8%). Factors affecting AC delay were male gender, rectal primary, intraoperative blood loss (>100ml), and presence of postoperative complications. Overall survival was 90.8% (AC +) and 40.0% (no AC, p=0.111) in stage II disease, and 82% (AC +) and 35.6% (no AC, p=0.275) in stage III disease, respectively. Recurrence-free survival 80.1% (AC +) and 54.5% (no AC, p=0.133) in stage II disease, and 64.4% (AC +) and 0.0% (no AC, p=0.014), respectively. Conclusions: In stage II, III patients, it appears that use of AC is more closely related patient’s survival rather than the time of AC initiation. To improve oncologic outcomes after curative resection, it is important to increase the proporation of AC use.

e23044 Background: Circulating tumor cell (CTC) is a potentially useful marker in early diagnosis and monitoring therapeutic effects for patients with malignant tumors, but clinical significance of CTC in primary lung cancer remains unclear. We previously showed that CTC was a useful surrogate marker of distant metastasis in primary lung cancer (Clin Cancer Res 2009). In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value among completely resected patients after long-term follow-up. Methods: A total of 94 patients (median age, 68 years; 30 females and 64 males) who underwent complete resection for primary lung cancer (4 with small cell and 90 with non-small cell) were prospectively evaluated. At the time of enrollment into the study, 7.5mL of peripheral blood was sampled from each patient, and an EpCAM-based detection system (CellSearch) was used for detection of CTC. CTC was detected in 16 patients (CTC-positive, 14.9%). Results: CTC-positivity was significantly associated with a poor recurrence-free survival (5-year recurrence-free survival rate, 40% versus 72%; p<0.01) (Table 1), which was confirmed by a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 2.57 [95% CI, 1.26-5.26]; P=0.010). CTC-positivity was also associated with a poor overall survival (5-year recurrence-free survival rate, 62% versus 84%; p<0.05) (Table 1), which was confirmed by a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 2.76 [95% CI, 1.14-6.71]; P=0.025). Conclusions: CTC-positivity was associated with poor recurrence-free survival and poor overall survival in resected lung cancer. [Table: see text]

Background and Aims: The impact of biliary invasion on recurrence and survival, after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases, is not well known as publications are limited to small patient series. The aim was to investigate if biliary invasion in liver resected patients associated with liver relapses and recurrence-free survival. Secondary endpoints included association with other prognostic factors, disease-free survival and overall survival. Materials and Methods: All patients with histologically verified biliary invasion (n = 31, 9%) were identified among 344 patients with liver resection between January 2009 and March 2015. Controls (n = 78) were selected from the same time period and matched for, among others, size and number of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Results: Median liver recurrence-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with biliary invasion than in controls (15.3 months versus not reached; p = 0.031) and more relapses were noted in the liver (61.3% versus 33.3%; p = 0.010), respectively. In univariate analyses for liver recurrence-free survival, biliary invasion was the only significant prognostic factor; p = 0.034. There were no statistical differences in disease-free and overall survival between the groups. Conclusion: Biliary invasion was associated with higher liver recurrence rates and shorter liver recurrence-free survival in patients with resected colorectal cancer liver metastasis.
