e14599 Background: Pelvic recurrence of rectal cancer is a persisting therapeutic challenge in spite of wide spread use of adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemo radiation and wide resection isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) may facilitate pelvic resection in selected high-risk patients.IPP was done in 42 patients with locally advanced previously irradiated rectal cancer, 26 as a preoperative therapy and 16 for palliation. A comparative larger non-perfused group included 63 patients with pelvic resection only for recurrent rectal cancer. Methods: Isolated pelvic perfusion (60 min) utilized pump oxygenation (Temp>41°C)with chemo agents – 5 FU 1500mg/m2, Cisplatin/Oxaliplatin 100/ 150mg/m2, Mitomycin 10-20 mg/m2, which was done in 42 patients (26 as preoperative and 16 as palliative therapy). Results: Palliative IPP in 16 advanced rectal cancer patients (pts)resulted in significant relief (1-4 months) of narcotic resistant pain (in 70%). Preoperative IPP in 26 locally advanced rectal cancer pts achieved a clinical pathologic complete response (CR) in 2 patients, and significant regression in 11 patients rendering them resectable. Seven pts had R0 pelvic resections,(6 abdominal sacral resection (ABSR) and 1 extended APR).Of 8 other patients, 3 responders refused surgery, 5 were excluded.(medical or disease related ). Median survival was 22.5 months in 15 resectable and 32 mos in 7 resected pts (2 pts were 5 year survivors). This is compared to outcome in 63 patients amenable to having pelvic resection alone: 57% had R0 resection (median OS 36 mos), 28% had R1 resection (med OS = 15 mos) and 15% had R2 resection (med OS 21 mos). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant IPP may facilitate selection of recurrent rectal cancer by identifying therapeutic responders likely to benefit from major pelvic resection and excluding non-responders most likely to benefit from non-surgical therapy. The potential to induce regression and facilitate R0 resection merits further exploration.

723 Background: Isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) may improve disease control and facilitate pelvic resection in selected high-risk patients with advanced recurrent rectal cancer by reducing painful tumor burden and lessening chances of recurrence. Methods: IPP was done in 42 patients with locally advanced previously irradiated rectal cancer, 26 as preoperative therapy and 16 for palliation. A comparative larger non-perfused group included 63 patients with pelvic resection only via abdominal sacral resection (ABSR) for recurrent rectal cancer. Isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) with a pump oxygenator, (temp > 41ºc), delivered sequential (q 10 minutes) chemotherapy:– 5FU (5fluorouracil) 1,500 mg/m2, cisplatin/oxaliplatin 100/150 mg/m2, mitomycin 10mg/m2, for 60 minutes in 42 patients. Results: Palliative IPP in 16 advanced rectal cancer patients resulted in significant relief (1–4 months) of narcotic resistant pain (in 70%). Pre-operative IPP in 26 locally advanced rectal cancer patients achieved a clinical path (CR) in 2 patients, and significant regression in 11 patients rendering them resectable. Seven had RO pelvic resections. Of 6 other patients, 4 refused surgery, 2 were medically excluded. Median survival was 30 months in 7 resected patients (all had RO resections) and 2 were 5-year survivors. This is compared to outcome in 63 patients having pelvic resection alone for recurrence: 57 % had RO resection (median OS = 36 months), 28% had R1 resection (median OS = 15 months) and 15% had R2 resection (marrow invasion) (median OS = 21 months). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant IPP may facilitate resection of advanced or (borderline resectable) recurrent rectal cancer by reducing tumor bulk and identifying therapeutic responders likely to benefit from major pelvic resection while excluding non-responders mostly likely to benefit from non-surgical therapy. The potential to induce regression and facilitate RO resection merits further exploration

548 Background: Locally advanced rectal carcinoma is associated with high rate of abdomino-perineal amputation. We analyzed a cohort of patients (pts) diagnosed of locally advanced rectal cancer, treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (QT-RT) with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) followed by four cycles of adjuvant XELOX after surgery. Methods: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (T3-T4 and/or N+) were treated with oxaliplatin (50mg/m2 day 1, 8, 22 and 29) and capecitabine (1,650mg/m2 on days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35) combined with pelvic radiotherapy (180 cGy/day; 45Gy in 25 fractions). Surgery was scheduled 4 to 6 weeks after completion QT-RT. Four cycles of adjuvant XELOX were administered (capecitabine 2,000mg/m2 on days 1 to 14 and oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 on day 1) every 3 weeks. Main end points assessed were: rate of sphincter preservation, pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and the feasibility of postoperative chemotherapy. Results: From March 2007 to April 2010, 98 pts with locally advanced rectal cancer were included. M/F: 66/32; ECOG 0/1: 19/79; median age: 64 (38-81); upper/mid/distal rectum: 13/50/35; clinical stage: cT3/N- 9, cT2-T3/N+ 72, cT4/N- 4, cT4/N+ 13. Full dose of preoperative QT-RT was administered in 93 pts (95%). Main toxicities were grade 1/2 neurotoxicity (56/4) and grade 2/3 diarrhea (23/10). After treatment 96 pts underwent surgery. Sphincter preservation, R0 resections and pCR were achieved in 57, 93 pts and 17 (18%) patients, respectively, and 65 pts (66%) received all 4 cycles of adjuvant XELOX. Grade 3/4 toxicities included diarrhea 3/0, vomiting 2/0, neurotoxicity 5/0, hand-foot syndrome 1/0, neutropenia 4/0 and thrombopenia 0/4. 3-year progression-free and overall survival were 66% and 72%, respectively. No toxic deaths were reported. Downstaging in T/N stage was achieved in 53/71 pts (55/74%) respectively. Conclusions: Combination preoperative QT-RT with capecitabine and oxaliplatin is a well tolerated regimen and achieves encouraging rates of pCR, R0 resection, sphincter preservation and tumor downstaging in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Purpose The optimal therapeutic sequence of the adjuvant chemotherapy component of preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer is controversial. Induction chemotherapy before preoperative CRT may be associated with better efficacy and compliance. Patients and Methods A total of 108 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer were randomly assigned to arm A—preoperative CRT with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and concurrent radiation followed by surgery and four cycles of postoperative adjuvant capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX)—or arm B—induction CAPOX followed by CRT and surgery. The primary end point was pathologic complete response rate (pCR). Results On an intention-to-treat basis, the pCR for arms A and B were 13.5% (95% CI, 5.6% to 25.8%) and 14.3% (95% CI, 6.4% to 26.2%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in other end points, including downstaging, tumor regression, and R0 resection. Overall, chemotherapy treatment exposure was higher in arm B than in arm A for both oxaliplatin (P < .0001) and capecitabine (P < .0001). During CRT, grades 3 to 4 adverse events were similar in both arms but were significantly higher in arm A during postoperative adjuvant CT than with induction CT in arm B. There were three deaths in each arm during the treatment period. Conclusion Compared with postoperative adjuvant CAPOX, induction CAPOX before CRT had similar pCR and complete resection rates. It did achieve more favorable compliance and toxicity profiles. On the basis of these findings, a phase III study to definitively test the induction strategy is warranted.

The aim of the study: to increase the frequency of achieving pathologic complete response and increase disease-free survival in the investigational group of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer T3(MRF+)–4N0–2M0 by developing a new strategy for neoadjuvant therapy.Materials and methods. In total, 414 patients were assigned to treatment. Control group I included 89 patients who underwent radiotherapy (RT) 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week. Control group II included 160 patients who underwent RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week and oxaliplatin once a week, during the course of RT. Study group III consisted of 165 patients. This group combined RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions with concurrent capecitabine twice daily 5 days per week and additional consecutive CapOx cycles. This group was divided into 2 subgroups: subgroup IIIa included 106 patients with consolidating chemotherapy (after CRT); subgroup IIIb included 59 patients who underwent “sandwich” treatment. Therapy consisted of conducting from 1 to 2 cycles of induction CapOx (up to CRT) and from 1 to 2 cycles of consolidating CapOx with an interval of 7 days. In the interval between the courses of drug therapy, RT 52–56 Gy/26–28 fractions was performed. According to the results of the control examination, further treatment tactics were determined. The primary end points were 5-year disease-free survival and the achievement of a pathologic complete response.Results. Pathologic complete response was significantly more often recorded in patients in the investigational group III (17.48 %; p = 0.021) compared with control groups (7.95 % in the I group and 8.28 % in the II group). 5-year disease-free survival in patients in the study groups was: 71.5 % in the III group, 65.6 % in the II group and 56.9 % in the I group.Conclusion. The shift in emphasis on strengthening the neoadjuvant effect on the tumor and improving approaches to drug therapy regimens have significantly improved disease-free survival of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NCRT) followed by total mesorectal excision is the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). To justify a non-surgical approach, identification of pathologic complete response (pCR) is required. Analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used to evaluate pCR. We hypothesize that monitoring of thymidylate synthase (TYMS) and excision repair protein, RAD23 homolog B (RAD23B), can be used to predict resistance to chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Therefore, the aims of this study were to analyze CTCs from patients with LARC who underwent NCRT plus surgery for expression of TYMS/RAD23B and to evaluate their predictive value. Blood samples from 30 patients were collected prior to NCRT (S1) and prior to surgery (S2). CTCs were isolated and quantified by ISET®, proteins were analyzed by immunocytochemistry, and TYMS mRNA was detected by chromogenic in situ hybridization. CTC counts decreased between S1 and S2 in patients exhibiting pCR (p = 0.02) or partial response (p = 0.01). Regarding protein expression, TYMS was absent in 100% of CTCs from patients with pCR (p = 0.001) yet was expressed in 83% of non-responders at S2 (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, RAD23B was expressed in CTCs from 75% of non-responders at S1 (p = 0.01) and in 100% of non-responders at S2 (p = 0.001). Surprisingly, 100% of non-responders expressed TYMS mRNA at both timepoints (p = 0.001). In addition, TYMS/RAD23B was not detected in the CTCs of patients exhibiting pCR (p = 0.001). We found 83.3% of sensitivity for TYMS mRNA at S1 (p = 0.001) and 100% for TYMS (p = 0.064) and RAD23B (p = 0.01) protein expression at S2. Thus, TYMS mRNA and/or TYMS/RAD23B expression in CTCs, as well as CTC kinetics, have the potential to predict non-response to NCRT and avoid unnecessary radical surgery for LARC patients with pCR.

Abstract Objective This multicenter, single-arm phase II study (UMIN000008429) aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapOX) as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods Patients with resectable clinical Stage II or III rectal cancer were enrolled to receive eight cycles of CapOX therapy (130 mg/m2 oxaliplatin on day 1 and 2000 mg/m2 oral capecitabine on days 1–14, every 3 weeks) after curative surgical resection. The primary endpoint was 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rate, and secondary endpoints were 3-year overall survival (OS) rate, treatment compliance, and safety. Results A total of 40 patients (Stage II, 21; Stage III, 19) were enrolled between September 2012 and November 2015 from seven institutions. Thirty-nine patients (97%) received R0 resection, and 32 patients (84%) received postoperative CapOX therapy. The completion rate of all eight cycles of CapOX therapy was 66%. Relative dose intensities were 87% for oxaliplatin and 84% for capecitabine. At a median follow-up period of 46 months, disease recurrence was observed in nine patients, including three with local recurrence. Three-year RFS and OS rates were 75% (95% CI 57–86%) and 96% (95% CI 80–99%), respectively. Frequencies of Grade ≥ 3 hematological and non-hematologic adverse events were 19% and 38%, respectively. Conclusion CapOX therapy is feasible as adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.
