e14570 Background: Resection of primary tumors in the setting of metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) is controversial. Fewer primary tumor resections are being performed due to the improved tumor responses and disease control rates associated with modern systemic therapy. Recent studies suggest a survival benefit for patients with MCRC who had primary tumors resection prior to systemic therapy. This analysis evaluates the independent prognostic impact of primary tumor resection on overall survival (OS) for patients with MCRC using the California Cancer Registry (CCR). Methods: We queried the CCR for all patients with MCRC diagnosed between 2003 and 2010. Patients were categorized by whether or not they had primary tumor resection at time of diagnosis. Covariates included gender, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), and rural-urban commuting area (RUCA) score of patients. Univariate comparisons were made using the Kaplan Meier method. Multivariate comparisons were performed using the Cox proportional hazards regression method. Results: 19,836 patients met the criteria for analysis of whom 11,566 (58%) had primary tumor resection. Primary tumor resection rates declined over this time period (63% in 2003 v. 52.8% in 2010, p<0.0001), varied by SES (55% v. 62%: lowest versus highest, p<0.001) and residence (63% in rural versus 58% for urban, P=0.0160). On multivariate analysis, overall survival was significantly better for patients that had primary tumor resection (HR: 0.467 [95% CI: 0.467-0.482]; p<0.0001). Survival was statistically longer in younger patients (HR: 1.385 for age 65-75, HR: 2.217 if greater than age 75), highest SES (HR: 0.869, p<0.0001), Hispanics (HR: 0.884, p<0001), and Asian/Pacific Islanders (HR:0.892, p<0.0001). Overall survival was worse for African Africans (HR:1.105, P=0.0001). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the independent prognostic value on survival of primary tumor resection in patients with MCRC. There is significant variability of resection rates by SES and rural-urban residence. As analysis of CCR data cannot eliminate the influence of patient and provider biases, a prospective randomized trial is warranted.

Background: ‘Drug holidays’ (DH) for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) were introduced to preserve quality of life. We studied factors associated to a DH offer in first line. Materials & methods: We retrospectively analyzed 754 consecutive patients treated with chemotherapy for mCRC in two Italian institutions between 2005 and 2017. Associations between baseline clinical-pathological factors and DH (56 or more days of treatment interruption) were investigated. Results: In 754 patients, previous metastasectomy, previous thermoablation and previous surgery of primary tumor were independently associated with DH. Excluding procedures or clinical trials: primary rectal cancer and resection of primary tumor were significantly associated to DH. Conclusions: DH was offered to patients with lower burden of disease, but further investigations are needed to safely guide a holiday strategy.

108 Background: Primary tumor sidedness has emerged as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Tumor bulk has also been postulated to predict response to anti-EGFR therapy. We sought to evaluate the role of tumor bulk as a predictive biomarker to anti-EGFR therapy in pts with left- (LS) and right-sided (RS) mCRC. Methods: Data from 476 pts with mCRC enrolled across 2 first-line trials of anti-EGFR plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy were pooled. Pts were included if there was available information on tumor sidedness and tumor bulk. All were KRAS wild-type and BRAF wild-type or unknown BRAF status. The right colon was defined as the cecum through the transverse colon, and the left colon as the splenic flexure through the rectum. Tumor bulk was the mean tumor size of target lesions at baseline, bulky defined as > 3.5 cm. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox models adjusting for performance status (PS), platelet count, primary tumor (PT) resection, number of metastatic sites, and stratified by study. Results: Pts with bulky tumors (211, 44%) had higher PS, white blood cell and platelet counts, higher CEA, fewer sites of metastatic disease, more liver than lung metastases, and fewer had PT resection. OS and PFS medians in months (mos) are presented in the table with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). Bulky tumors had inferior median OS compared with non-bulky (mOS, 17.9 vs. 21.3 mos, HRadj 1.33, 95% CI 1.05-1.69, P = 0.016) although median PFS was similar (mPFS, 8.6 vs. 8.7 mos, HRadj 1.15, 95% CI 0.92-1.42, P = 0.21). Conclusions: Tumor bulk is an independent prognostic factor for OS in KRAS wild-type and BRAF wild-type or unknown BRAF status pts. Pts with non-bulky RS tumors have survival outcomes similar to pts with bulky LS tumors. Although the mPFS for pts with RS tumors treated with anti-EGFR therapy was the lowest across subgroups, this finding was not statistically significant. Further research is warranted into whether pts with bulky RS tumors benefit from anti-EGFR therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT00182715, NCT00640081. [Table: see text]
