The article describes the experience of using ther-mochioradiotherapy in the combined treatment of distal locally advanced colorectal cancer, as well as comparing the effectiveness of treatment with chemoradiation therapy. The use of the proposed method as a component of the combined treatment of patients with rectal cancer allowed to increase the percentage of organ-preserving operations. As a result of thermochemotherapy, the prevalence of the primary tumor was significantly reduced, as a result of which the number of sphincter-bearing operations was reduced by almost 2 times (p

: Colorectal cancer represents the third most frequently occurring cancer worldwide. In the last decade, the survival of patients affected by metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has improved through the introduction of biological drugs. However, in this new and dynamic therapeutic context, research about prognostic and predictive factors is important to guide the oncologists to effective therapies as well as to improve the understanding of colorectal cancer biology. Their identification is an intensive area of research and our future goal will be to depict tumour-specific "molecular signatures" in order to predict the clinical course of the disease and the best treatments. : In this report, we describe clinical, pathological and molecular biomarkers that can play a role as prognostic or predictive factors in mCRC.

Background: Advances in therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and improved understanding of prognostic and predictive factors have impacted treatment decisions. Materials & methods: This study used a large oncology database to investigate patterns of monoclonal antibody (mAb) plus chemotherapy treatment in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK in mCRC patients treated in first line in 2018. Results: Anti-EGFR mAbs were most often administered to patients with RAS wild-type mCRC and those with left-sided tumors, while anti-VEGF mAbs were preferred in RAS mutant and right-sided tumors. Adopted treatment strategies differed between countries, largely due to reimbursement. Conclusion: Biomarker status and primary tumor location steered treatment decisions in first line. Adopted treatment strategies differed between participating countries.

690 Background: In recent years, prognostic and predictive factors in mCRC are becoming more important, outstanding the tumor and metastasic location, the primary tumor and/or metastasis resections as well as molecular biomarkers (KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 334 patients with mCRC diagnosticated between January 2010 and June 2015 in the Oncology Service from HGUGM. The objective of our study was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) relating to each of these settings. We also evaluated OS considering the biological treatment received in first line. Multivariant analysis was performed with independence of tumor and metastasic location, metastasectomies, no primary tumor resection, biological treatment used in first line, age, sex and moleculars biomarkers. Results: Median OS was 24,34m. The advantageous prognostic factors which statistically significant impact on the median OS have been triple (RAS and BRAF) (n = 86) and quadruple (RAS, BRAF and PIK3CA) (n = 76) wild-type (wt 36,6m vs mut 23m, p = 0,02; wt 37,6m vs mut 23,38m, p = 0.02, respectively), left tumor location with rectum (left 25,55m vs right 19,44m, p = 0,001) and isolated hepatic and pulmonary metastasic location (30,32 vs 23 m, p = 0,03; 45,32m vs 23,38 m, p = 0,004, respectively). The main disadvantageous prognostic factor has been the no primary tumor resection (13,75m vs 31,61m, p = 0,00001) with independence of synchronous presentation of the disease as well as biomarkers mutational status. Median OS in first line was 30.13 m with bevacizumab (n = 54) vs 16,18m with antiEGFR (n = 28) (p = 0.02) in extended RAS wild-type patients (n = 101). Considering the multivariate analysis, the independent prognostic factors have been the isolated pulmonary metastasis (HR = 0,46; CI 95% 0,30-0,73;p = 0,001), quadruple wild-type (HR = 0,69;CI 95% 0,49-0,97; p = 0,031), metastasectomies (HR = 0,29; CI 95% 0,21-0,4; p = 0,000), right location (HR = 1,43; CI 95% 1,08-1,9;p = 0,014) and no primary tumor resection (HR = 2,06; CI 95% 1,49-2,86; p = 0,000). Conclusions: Isolated pulmonary metastasis, quadruple wild-type, metastasectomies, left location and primary tumor resection have independent positive prognostic value, according to our retrospective study.
