Patterns Of Recurrence

436 Background: Pre-operative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level is associated with outcome after hepatectomy for colorectal cancer metastases. In this study we sought to determine the relationship between post-operative CEA and outcome after hepatectomy. Methods: A single institution retrospective review of hospital records from 1993 to 2010 found 339 patients who underwent a liver resection for CRC metastases. Of these, 140 had CEA levels drawn pre-operatively, post-operatively, and at least once more in follow-up. A ΔCEA level was calculated by subtracting the initial post-operative CEA level from the highest CEA level drawn in follow-up. Outcomes were compared between patients with ΔCEA less than 5 and greater than 5. Results: Of 140 patients, 61 had ΔCEA less than 5 and 79 had ΔCEA greater than 5. Patients with low ΔCEA had improved median overall survival (OS) (70.2 months) compared to those with high ΔCEA (38.7 months, P=0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) (13.0 months vs. 12.3 months, P=0.982). 100 patients had recurrence after hepatectomy, 69 with high ΔCEA and 31 with low ΔCEA. Patients with low ΔCEA were more likely to have a single site of recurrence (77.4% vs. 53.6%, P<0.0001). Conclusions: Although a rising CEA after hepatectomy for CRC metastases is associated with worse overall survival, there is no difference in progression-free survival between patients with rising CEA and those with stable-to-decreasing CEA. Patients with stable-to-decreasing CEA have patterns of recurrence more amenable to locoregional therapy. Post-operative CEA values are an important component of oncologic surveillance, and patterns of rise and fall may indicate patterns of recurrence.

Purpose Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy administered after surgical resection of colorectal cancer metastases may reduce the risk of recurrence and improve survival, but its benefit has never been demonstrated. Two phase III trials (Fédération Francophone de Cancérologie Digestive [FFCD] Trial 9002 and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer/National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group/Gruppo Italiano di Valutazione Interventi in Oncologia [ENG] trial) used a similar design and showed a trend favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, but both had to close prematurely because of slow accrual, thus lacking the statistical power to demonstrate the predefined difference in survival. We report here a pooled analysis based on individual data from these two trials. Patients and Methods After complete resection of colorectal liver or lung metastases, patients were randomly assigned to chemotherapy (CT arm; fluorouracil [FU] 400 mg/m2 administered intravenously [IV] once daily plus dl-leucovorin 200 mg/m2 [FFCD] × 5 days or FU 370 mg/m2 plus l-leucovorin 100 mg/m2 IV × 5 days [ENG] for six cycles at 28-day intervals) or to surgery alone (S arm). Results A total of 278 patients (CT, n = 138; S, n = 140) were included in the pooled analysis. Median progression-free survival was 27.9 months in the CT arm as compared with 18.8 months in the S arm (hazard ratio = 1.32; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.76; P = .058). Median overall survival was 62.2 months in the CT arm compared with 47.3 months in the S arm (hazard ratio = 1.32; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.82; P = .095). Adjuvant chemotherapy was independently associated with both progression-free survival and overall survival in multivariable analysis. Conclusion This pooled analysis shows a marginal statistical significance in favor of adjuvant chemotherapy with an FU bolus–based regimen after complete resection of colorectal cancer metastases.

Objective: to evaluate short-term and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer metastases to the lungs and to analyze factors affecting the efficacy of surgery. Materials and methods. This study included 211 patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the lungs treated between 1994 and 2014. We enrolled patients with resectable or conventionally resectable metastases (according to chest computed tomography evaluated by a thoracic surgeon); the exclusion criteria were as follows: multiple primary tumors and age more than 85 years. We assessed the type of surgeries, frequency of R0 resections, incidence of postoperative complications, overall survival, and progression-free survival. Results. One hundred and sixty-two patients out of 211 (76.8 %) have undergone atypical lung resection. Forty-nine patients (23.2 %) have undergone pneumonectomy, bilobectomy, or lobectomy. The majority of patients (96.2 %) have had R0 resection, whereas 2.9 % of study participants have had R1 or R2 resections. One patient has undergone a trial surgery. Clinically significant postoperative complications were observed in 4 (2 %) patients; postoperative mortality was 0.5 % (1 case). The five-year overall survival rate was 52.7 %; the 5-year progression-free survival rate was 45.8 %. Development of metastases within 24 months after primary surgery was found to be a significant factor negatively affecting overall survival (hazard ratio 0.347; 95 % confidence interval 0.227–0.53; р <0.0001). Conclusions. Surgical treatment is currently the only truly effective treatment, which can improve long-term survival of patients with colorectal cancer metastases to the lungs; the best treatment results are achieved in patients with a relapse-free interval of more than 24 months.

Liver tumors are common and may be unamenable to surgery or ablative treatments. Consequently, other treatments have been devised. To assess the safety and efficacy of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver-dominant hepatic colorectal cancer metastases (mCRC), and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), performed according to current recommendations, we conducted a single-center retrospective study in 70 patients treated with TARE (HCC, n = 44; mCRC, n = 20; CCA, n = 6). Safety and toxicity were assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria. Treatment response was evaluated every 3 months on imaging studies using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or mRECIST criteria. Overall survival and progression-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median delivered dose was 1.6 GBq, with SIR-Spheres® or TheraSphere® microspheres. TARE-related grade 3 adverse events affected 17.1% of patients. Median follow-up was 32.1 months. Median progression-free survival was 5.6 months and median overall time from TARE to death was 16.1 months and was significantly shorter in men. Progression-free survival was significantly longer in women (HR, 0.49; 95%CI, 0.26–0.90; p = 0.031). Risk of death or progression increased with the number of systemic chemotherapy lines. TARE can be safe and effective in patients with intermediate- or advanced-stage HCC, CCA, or mCRC refractory or intolerant to appropriate treatments.

Abstract Background: Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma originating from the thymus with its own epidemiological, clinical, immunophenotypic and prognostic features and that was included as a distinct clinical entity in the last World Health Organization classification (2008). It is more prevalent in young female, and is characterized by a large mediastinal mass, with frequent infiltration of adjacent structures. Dissemination by distant sites may be identified at diagnosis or during the disease progression. It shows many similar aspects to nodular sclerosis Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in terms of clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical features. The standard treatment is based on multidrug regimens containing anthracyclines associated with rituximab and consolidation with radiotherapy. A recent study published in the NEJM in 2013, with a single-arm treatment with infusional dose-adjusted DA-EPOCH-R with no radiotherapy in untreated PMBCL, demonstrated 97% of overall survival (OS) and 93% of event-free survival (EFS) with a median of 5 years of follow-up. Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 40 patients with PMBCL treated at São Paulo’s Cancer Institute from June 2007 to January 2014. The objectives of the study were to compare the complete response (CR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates between two different treatment strategies. All patients were initially evaluated with blood tests, whole-body computed tomography (CT) or fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission tomography (PET-CT) and bone marrow biopsy. Two chemotherapy regimens were used in the patient’s treatment: 6 to 8 cycles of conventional R-CHOP 21 with or without radiation therapy (n = 23) and R-CHOP regimen with addition etoposide (DA-EPOCH-R or R-CHOEP) with or without radiotherapy (n = 17). After 4 cycles of treatment, patients were evaluated for response to determine the total number of cycles (6 or 8). Results Among the 40 enrolled patients, 65% were female with median age of 31 years (range 14 to 62 years). The median size of the mediastinal mass was 13cm in the longest axis. Half of the patients (50%) were in advanced stage (III or IV of Ann Arbor staging) and 75% were in good prognosis category of R-IPI ( 1 or 2 risk factors of the International Prognostic Index Score for non Hodgkin lymphoma). 57,5% of patients were treated with R-CHOP and 42,5% had etoposide as part of the their treatment regimen (12,5% DA-EPOCH-R and 30% R-CHOP plus etoposide (100mg/m2 D1-D3). There was no statistically significant difference in CR rate between RCHOP vs RCHOP + etoposide (86.9% vs 86.6%). There were no differences in PFS or OS for the 2 groups (p=0.8202 and 0.9410). Conclusion The addition of etoposide to RCHOP regimen appears to increase OS and PFS of patients with untreated PMBCL as previously demonstrated. In our service, where there is difficult in hospitalization for the administration of infusional regimens such as DA-EPOCH-R, it was necessary to adjust for outpatient to R-CHOEP. The comparison between the two groups (RCHOP vs RCHOEP/DA-EPOCH-R) showed no statistically significant difference in CR, OS and PFS. However, the median of follow-up of patients who received etoposide was not sufficient to analyze the data adequately. Overall Survival Figure 1.

Abstract Introduction: Cure rate of Mature T/NK cell lymphoma (TCL) is rather low and multiple trials are being conducted to improve frontline therapy outcomes. Consolidation with autologous stem cell transplant is becoming widely used as a mean of improving survival (SCT). Based on data from several retrospective trials, pts who achieve CR may not benefit from consolidative SCT. There is no data available on the role of PET-CR as defined by using Deauville criteria (which became standard in response assessment of NHL (The Lugano Classification 2014)). We performed retrospective analysis of 59 pts with TCL examining the correlation between PFS/OS and iPET and eotPET. Methods: 59 pts newly diagnosed pts with TCL treated between 2008-2016 for whom interim and eotPET scan were available. It was our routine practice to obtain baseline, interim (after 3 cycles of chemotherapy) and eotPET. Pathology slides of outside cases were centrally evaluated by a hematopathologist to confirm diagnosis. Baseline, interim and eotPET were centrally reviewed by a nuclear medicine radiologist blinded to clinical outcomes who assigned Deauville score (DS) to every PET. Responses were recorded according to the Lugano classification 2014. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan Meier method was used to calculate the Progression-free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS), two-sided Log-rank test was used to compare OS and PFS between PET groups. Results: Detailed demographic is presented in Table1. Median age at diagnosis is 59, sixty two percent males, 37% female; ALCL 34%, PTCLnos 22%, AITL 19%, and ATLL 10%; most of pts were advanced stage. Most common chemotherapy regimens used were CHOP/CHOEP, HCVAD, and CODOX, SMILE. Median follow up time for the entire cohort was 22.7mo. Forty nine percent of pts progressed and 29% of pts died during follow up. Cause of death for majority of pts was disease progression. Following Deauville scores were assigned on iPET and eotPET respectively: DS1 in 37% and 39%, DS2 in 30% and 35%, DS3 in 15% and 6%, DS4 in 9% and 4%, DS5 in 9% and 16%. We analyzed mPFS and mOS for PET-CR using DS1-2 or DS1-3 to define it. Sixty seven percent and 82% were considered in PET-CR on iPET based on DS 1-2 and DS 1-3 respectively. PET-CR went up to 77% and 83% respectively on eotPET. For final analysis, DS1-2 was used to define PET-CR as no statistically significant difference in mPFS and mOS was noted between DS1-2 and DS1-3. With median follow up of 22.7mo, two-year mPFS and mOS for the cohort were 50% and 74% respectively. Two- year mPFS for iPET-CR and eotPET-CR were 62%. Two-year mOS for iPET-CR and eotPET-CR were 86%% and 83%. Two-year mPFS for iPET-PR and eotPET-PR were 37% and 67%. Two-year mOS for iPET-PR and eotPET-PR were 70% and 100 % (not statistically significant difference with PET-CR mPFS and mOS). None of the pts with PD on iPET were alive at two year. Two-year mOS for eotPET-SD and eotPET-PD are 40%. Negative predictive value of iPET and eotPET is 61%, positive predictive value is 65% and 72% respectively. Conclusion: While PET-SD and PD is quite predictive of poor survivorship, significant number of PET-CR pts will relapse. Even though PET-CR rate to frontline therapy is high, it does not translate into durable responses for significant number of pts with TCL. Thus, PET-CR is not a sensitive enough measure to be considered as a predictor of long-term remission in TCL. It is important to develop response assessment tools which will correlate better with long term survivorship of TCL patients. Figure 1 Overall survival stratified on PET response Figure 1.

Abstract Background The combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and chemotherapy has been clinically confirmed to be beneficial as the first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. This study aimed to assess the effect of nivolumab + docetaxel versus nivolumab monotherapy in patients with NSCLC after the failure of platinum doublet chemotherapy. Materials and methods The efficacy and toxicity of nivolumab + docetaxel combination therapy versus nivolumab monotherapy were compared in this retrospective study. Primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. Results Between November 2017 and December 2019, 77 patients were included in this study, with 58 patients in the nivolumab group and 19 in the nivolumab + docetaxel group. The median follow-up was 18 months, and the PFS was 8 months for patients receiving nivolumab + docetaxel and 2 months for those receiving nivolumab alone (p = 0.001), respectively. Nivolumab + docetaxel showed superior OS compared with nivolumab, with the median OS unreached versus 7 months (p = 0.011). Among patients without EGFR/ALK variation, compared to nivolumab monotherapy, nivolumab + docetaxel showed better PFS (p = 0.04) and OS (p  = 0.05). There was no significant difference in grade 3–4 adverse events (AEs) between the two groups (p = 0.253). Conclusions The combination of nivolumab and docetaxel demonstrated a meaningful improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival compared to nivolumab monotherapy, in patients with NSCLC after the failure of platinum doublet chemotherapy, irrespective of EGFR/ALK variation status.

Abstract Background An upgraded understanding of factors (sex/estrogen) associated with survival benefit in advanced colorectal carcinoma (CRC) could improve personalised management and provide innovative insights into anti-tumour mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of cetuximab (CET) versus bevacizumab (BEV) following prior 12 cycles of fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) plus BEV in postmenopausal women with advanced KRAS and BRAF wild-type (wt) CRC. Methods Prospectively maintained databases were reviewed from 2013 to 2017 to assess postmenopausal women with advanced KRAS and BRAF wt CRC who received up to 12 cycles of FOLFOXIRI plus BEV inductive treatment, followed by CET or BEV maintenance treatment. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), response rate. The secondary endpoint was the rate of adverse events (AEs). Results At a median follow-up of 27.0 months (IQR 25.1–29.2), significant difference was detected in median OS (17.7 months [95% confidence interval [CI], 16.2–18.6] for CET vs. 11.7 months [95% CI, 10.4–12.8] for BEV; hazard ratio [HR], 0.63; 95% CI, 0.44–0.89; p=0.007); Median PFS was 10.7 months (95% CI, 9.8–11.3) for CET vs. 8.4 months (95% CI, 7.2–9.6) for BEV (HR, 0.67; 95% CI 0.47–0.94; p=0.02). Dose reduction due to intolerable AEs occurred in 29 cases (24 [24.0%] for CET vs. 5 [4.8%] for BEV; p< 0.001). Conclusions CET tends to be superior survival benefit when compared with BEV, with tolerated AEs.

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to report on the oncologic outcome of the disease spread to celiac lymph nodes (CLNs) in advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients.MethodsAll patients who had CLN resection as part of their cytoreductive surgery for epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer were identified. Patient demographic data with particular emphasis on operative records to detail the extent and distribution of the disease spread, lymphadenectomy procedures, pathologic data, and follow-up data were included.ResultsThe median follow-up was 26.3 months. The median overall survival values in the group with positive CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 26.9 months and 40.04 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival values in the group with metastatic CLNs and in the group with negative CLNs were 8.8 months and 20.24 months, respectively (P = 0.053). Positive CLNs were associated with progression during or within 6 months after the completion of chemotherapy (P = 0.0044). Tumor burden and extensive disease distribution were significantly associated with poor progression-free survival, short-term progression, and overall survival. In multivariate analysis, only the CLN status was independently associated with short-term progression.ConclusionsDisease in the CLN is a marker of disease severity, which is associated to a high-risk group of patients with presumed adverse tumor biology, increased risk of lymph node progression, and worst oncologic outcome.

e15586 Background: In Saudi Arabia, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been increased over the past few years. The optimal treatment beyond the second line is not fully understood. To the best of our knowledge, the efficacy and disease outcomes of triflurodine/tipiracil in Saudi patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC) has not been studied yet. Our study is a real-life practice evaluation of the efficacy of triflurodine/tipiracil in patients with refractory mCRC. Moreover, the prognosis and the prognostic significance of the different clinical variables have been analyzed. Methods: A retrospective, multi-centers ( 5 centers representative of Saudi Arabia )observational study in patients with mCRC who have received triflurodine/tipiracil beyond oxaliplatin & Irinotecan-based chemotherapy between December 2018-December 2020.We aimed to assess the response to triflurodine/tipiracil, to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS ), the overall survival (OS), and the associated factors of prognostic significance. Results:The data of 100 patients with refractory mCRC who has received triflurodine/tipiracil have been analyzed. The mean age was 55.2 +11.8 years. Forty-two patients were (42%) females and 58 (58%) were male patients. Sigmoid was the most common primary site of cancer in 35 (35%) patients, followed by rectum 29 (29%). Peritoneal metastasis was present in 17 (23.3%) patients ,liver in 51(56.6%) and lung in 39 (50.7%). Metastatic sites were ≥ 2 in 45 (45%) patients. Metastatic lesions were ≥ 5 in 65 (65%) patients. Xelox chemotherapy regimen was the most commonly used first-line chemotherapy which represents 43%, while Folfiri or Xeliri combination was the most used second line in 57 (60%). For the third line, Folfox or Xelox was used in 81 (83.5%) patients. The fourth line was given to 49 (67.1%). For first-line biological agents, Cetuximab was used most frequently 31 (46.3%).Evaluation of the response to treatment with triflurodine/tipiracil revealed one patient (1%) with a complete response,3 patients (3%) with partial response, 28 (28%) patients with stable disease, and 66 (66%) showed progressive disease. The estimated median progression-free survival was 5 months ( 3.839 - 6.161) and the median overall survival was 12 months (9.732-14.268). The log-rank analysis showed that the baseline neutrophils ≤ 75 % ( P-value= 0.0092) and low hemoglobin level (P-value= 0.0245) were strongly associated with a higher survival. By multivariate Cox regression analysis, the neutrophil count ≤ 75 % was the only independent predictor for survival. Conclusions: Trifluridine/tipiracil is effective in patients with refractory mCRC. The low neutrophil count might predict a better overall survival.
