e14114 Background: Background: Conflicting results have been reported whether pre diagnosis diabetes mellitus (DM) influence survival of colorectal cancer patients or not. Therefore, we determine the influence of DM on long-term outcomes of stage 1-3 patients with resected colon and rectal cancer. Methods: This prospective study include a total of 4,131 participants who were treated for cancer between 1995 and 2005 in South Korea in a single hospital (Non DM: 3,614 patients, DM: 517 patients) with average follow up period of 12 years. We analyzed differences in all cause mortality, disease free survival (DFS), recurrence free survival (RFS) and colorectal cancer-specific mortality between colorectal patients with DM and those without DM. Results: After adjustment for potential confounders, pre-diagnosis DM significantly associated with increased all cause mortality (HR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.11-1.92), and recurrence free survival reduced DFS (HR: 1.45, 95%CI: 1.15-1.84) and RFS (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 0.98-1.76) in colon cancer patients but not in rectal cancer patients. In colon cancer patients, DM negatively affects the survival outcome of proximal colon cancer (HR: 2.08, 95%CI: 1.38-3.13), but not of distal cancer (HR:1.34, 95% CI: 0.92-1.96). Conclusions: To our knowledge, the current study first reported the effects of pre-diagnosis DM on survival outcome of colorectal cancer are site specific (proximal colon, distal colon and rectum). The current study was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (KRF) (No. 2011-0004892) and the National R&D Program for Cancer Control, Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (1120230).

Abstract Background Accurate response evaluation is necessary to select complete responders (CRs) for a watch-and-wait approach. Deep learning may aid in this process, but so far has never been evaluated for this purpose. The aim was to evaluate the accuracy to assess response with deep learning methods based on endoscopic images in rectal cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy. Methods Rectal cancer patients diagnosed between January 2012 and December 2015 and treated with neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy were retrospectively selected from a single institute. All patients underwent flexible endoscopy for response evaluation. Diagnostic performance (accuracy, area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (AUC), positive- and negative predictive values, sensitivities and specificities) of different open accessible deep learning networks was calculated. Reference standard was histology after surgery, or long-term outcome (>2 years of follow-up) in a watch-and-wait policy. Results 226 patients were included for the study (117(52%) were non-CRs; 109(48%) were CRs). The accuracy, AUC, positive- and negative predictive values, sensitivity and specificity of the different models varied from 0.67–0.75%, 0.76–0.83%, 67–74%, 70–78%, 68–79% to 66–75%, respectively. Overall, EfficientNet-B2 was the most successful model with the highest diagnostic performance. Conclusions This pilot study shows that deep learning has a modest accuracy (AUCs 0.76-0.83). This is not accurate enough for clinical decision making, and lower than what is generally reported by experienced endoscopists. Deep learning models can however be further improved and may become useful to assist endoscopists in evaluating the response. More well-designed prospective studies are required.
