<b><i>Background:</i></b> Elevated pretreatment carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels are related to poor prognosis in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with neo-CRT followed by TME. In patients with normal pretreatment CEA levels, the prognostic significance of carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) is controversial. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic value of pretreatment serum CA199 in patients with LARC who had normal pretreatment CEA levels treated with neo-CRT followed by curative surgery. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A retrospective study of 456 patients with LARC treated with neo-CRT followed by TME between January 2006 and May 2017 was performed. We employed the maximal χ<sup>2</sup> method to determine the CA199 threshold of 9.1 U/mL based on the difference in survival and divided patients into 2 groups. Group 1: patients with pretreatment s-CEA &#x3c; 5 ng/mL and CA199 ≥ 9.1 U/mL. Group 2: patients with pretreatment s-CEA &#x3c; 5 ng/mL and CA199 &#x3c; 9.1 U/mL. Overall survival (OS) across CA199 was assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression models (PS:CEA ≥ 5 ng/mL was seen as elevated). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Multivariate analyses demonstrated that the following factors were significantly related to OS in patients with LARC with normal pretreatment CEA levels: ypT (odds ratio [OR] 1.863, <i>p</i> = 0.030), ypN (OR 1.622, <i>p</i> = 0.026), and pretreatment CA199 levels (OR 1.886, <i>p</i> = 0.048). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Pretreatment CA199 is an independent factor for OS in patients with LARC with normal pretreatment CEA levels, which may reach the clinic to guide individualized decision-making.

Patterns Of Recurrence

613 Background: Neoadjuvant long course chemoradiotherapy is a well recognised treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer. Patients with pelvic side wall nodes are often considered for neoadjuvant treatment. We investigated whether pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging is a poor prognostic factor and whether there are different patterns of recurrence compared to patients without pelvic side wall node involvement. Methods: All patients treated with long course chemoradiotherapy between January 2008 and December 2009 were identified. Patients were excluded if treatment indication was for inoperable disease, postoperative, recurrence, or palliative intent. 231 patients were identified and a retrospective analysis performed investigating patterns of recurrence and survival for patients with pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging. Results: Kaplan Meier curves are presented showing patients with pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging appear to have poorer outcomes and overall survival compared with those with only mesorectal nodes or no nodes. Patterns of recurrence are presented, showing patients with pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging have a non significant trend to increased rates of disease recurrence (local and distal recurrence combined, 45.7% versus 27.9% for pelvic side wall nodes versus no pelvic side wall nodes). Patients with pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging appear to be more likely to develop distant metastases compared to those patients who have mesorectal nodes or no nodal involvement (37% versus 23%). Conclusions: Our study highlights that patients with pelvic side wall nodes identified on pre-treatment imaging appear to have a trend to poorer overall survival, are more likely to recur and develop distant metastases. These results were not statistically significant, due to the small number of patients, and the data is consequently limited. We intend to further investigate current management strategies for this subgroup of patients, with assessment of radiotherapy treatment plans, current use of integral boosts, and surgical procedures for this subgroup of patients.

750 Background: Perineural invasion (PNI) as a prognostic indicator has not been well studied in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT). In this study, we investigated the incidence and prognostic significance of PNI in patients with stages II-III locally advanced rectal cancer treated with nCRT. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 110 consecutive patients treated with nCRT for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma at a single institution from 2004 to 2011. 88 of these patients had residual tumor in the resected specimen after nCRT. We evaluated the association of PNI with clinical outcomes, including disease-free survival (DFS), distant-metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS), using log-rank and Cox proportional hazard modeling. Results: Of the 88 patients with residual tumor at surgery, 14 patients (16%) had PNI and 74 patients (84%) did not. Baseline distribution of selected variables in the PNI+ and PNI- groups are shown in Table 1. Median follow-up was 27 months (range 0.9 to 84 months). The median DFS was 13.5 months for PNI+ patients and 39.8 months for PNI- patients (p<0.0001). The median DMFS was 13.5 months for PNI+ patients and median not reached (> 40 months) for PNI- patients (p<0.0001). We did not detect a significant association between the presence of PNI and worse OS, perhaps due to a high rate of censored patients in the OS analysis. In a multivariate model including pT stage, pN stage, tumor location, tumor size, type of surgery, and radial margin status, PNI remained a significant predictor of DFS (HR 16.8, 95% CI, 3.7–75.5, p<0.0002) and DMFS (HR 18.9, 95% CI, 4.4–81.9, p<0.0001). Conclusions: For patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with nCRT prior to surgical resection, PNI found at the time of surgery is significantly associated with worse DFS and DMFS.

Prognostic Impact

Background: To date, the prognostic significance of acellular mucin pools in tumors from patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) undergoing preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and subsequently obtaining pathological complete response (pCR) has not been well determined. Our current study aimed to explore the prognostic impact on these patients of acellular mucin pools. Methods: We collected clinical data from 117 consecutive LARC patients who achieved pCR after preoperative CRT and then underwent radical resection. Two groups of patients were generated, according to the presence or absence of acellular mucin pools. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared between the two groups of patients. Results: A total of 27 (23.1%) patients presented with acellular mucin pools. At a median follow-up period of 64 months, patients with acellular mucin pool showed a 5-year DFS rate (96.3% versus 83.7%, p = 0.110) and 5-year OS rate (100% versus 87.5%, p = 0.054) statistically similar to those of patients without acellular mucin pools. In univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses, the presence of acellular mucin pools was not determined as an independent risk factor for DFS [hazard ratio (HR): 0.222; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.029–1.864; p = 0.145] or OS (HR: 0.033; 95% CI: 0.000–9.620; p = 0.238). Conclusions: Acellular mucin pools had no significant prognostic impact on LARC patients showing pCR after preoperative CRT.
