It has long been known that in vitro polarized macrophages differ in morphology. Stemming from a conventional immunohistology observation, we set out to test the hypothesis that morphology of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) represents a correlate of functional diversity with prognostic significance. Density and morphological metrics of TAMs were measured and correlated with clinicopathological variables. While density of TAMs did not correlate with survival of CLM patients, the cell area identified small (S-TAM) and large (L-TAM) macrophages that were associated with 5-yr disease-free survival rates of 27.8% and 0.2%, respectively (P < 0.0001). RNA sequencing of morphologically distinct macrophages identified LXR/RXR as the most enriched pathway in large macrophages, with up-regulation of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, scavenger receptors, MERTK, and complement. In single-cell analysis of mononuclear phagocytes from CLM tissues, S-TAM and L-TAM signatures were differentially enriched in individual clusters. These results suggest that morphometric characterization can serve as a simple readout of TAM diversity with strong prognostic significance.

A 72-year-old woman with a sigmoid colon cancer anda synchronous colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM), whichinvolved the right hepatic vein (RHV) and the inferiorvena cava (IVC), was referred to our hospital. Themetastatic lesion was diagnosed as initially unresectablebecause of its invasion into the confluence of theRHV and IVC. After she had undergone laparoscopicsigmoidectomy for the original tumor, she consequentlyhad 3 courses of modified 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin,and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) plus cetuximab. Computedtomography revealed a partial response, and theconfluence of the RHV and IVC got free from cancerinvasion. After 3 additional courses of mFOLFOX6 pluscetuximab, preoperative percutaneous transhepaticportal vein embolization (PTPE) was performed tosecure the future remnant liver volume. Finally, a righthemihepatectomy was performed. The postoperativecourse was uneventful. The patient was dischargedfrom the hospital on postoperative day 13. She hadneither local recurrence nor distant metastasis 18 moafter the last surgical intervention. This multidisciplinarystrategy, consisting of conversion chemotherapy usingFOLFOX plus cetuximab and PTPE, could contributein facilitating curative hepatic resection for initiallyunresectable CRLM.Key words: Initially unresectable; Colorectal liver metastasis;Conversion chemotherapy; Cetuximab; Percutaneoustranshepatic portal vein embolization
