40 Background: Postoperative complications (POCs) are associated with worse oncologic outcomes in various cancer histologies. The impact of POCs on the survival of patients with appendiceal or colorectal cancer after cytoreductive surgery/heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is unknown. Methods: US HIPEC Collaborative (2000-17) was reviewed for patients who underwent CCR0/1 CRS/HIPEC for appendiceal/colorectal cancer. Analysis was stratified by non-invasive appendiceal neoplasm vs invasive appendiceal/colorectal adenocarcinoma. POCs were grouped into infectious, cardiopulmonary, thromboembolic and intestinal dysmotility. Primary outcomes were 3-yr overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Of 1304 pts, median age was 55 yrs, 41% were male (n = 537), 33% had non-invasive appendiceal (n = 426) and 67% had invasive appendiceal/colorectal adenocarcinoma (n = 878). In the non-invasive appendiceal cohort, POCs were identified in 55% (n = 233) and OS and RFS did not differ between patients who experienced a complication and those who did not (OS 94 vs 94% p = 0.26; RFS 68 vs 60% p = 0.15). In the invasive appendiceal/colorectal adenocarcinoma cohort, however, POCs (63%; n = 555) were associated with decreased OS (59 vs 74% p < 0.001) and RFS (32 vs 42% p < 0.001). Infectious POCs were most common (35%; n = 196). On MV analysis accounting for gender, PCI and incomplete resection (CCR1), infectious POCs in particular were associated with decreased OS compared to no complication (HR 2.08 95%CI 1.48-2.93 p < 0.01) or other types of complications (HR 1.7 95%CI 1.28-2.25 p < 0.01). This association persisted for infectious POCs and reduced RFS (HR 1.61 95%CI 1.23-2.10 p < 0.01). Conclusions: Postoperative complications are associated with decreased OS and RFS after CRS/HIPEC for invasive histology, but not for an indolent disease like non-invasive appendiceal neoplasm. Of all complication types, infectious complications are the main driver for this association. The exact mechanism is not known, but may be immunologic. Efforts must target best practices and standardized prevention strategies to minimize infectious POCs.

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the impact of postoperative complications on long-term survival in patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) arising from colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Methods Patients with PM arising from CRC treated with CRS and HIPEC were systematically reviewed at the China National Cancer Center and Huanxing Cancer Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019. High-grade complications that occurred within 30 days were defined as grade 3 to 4 events according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) classification. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression models for overall survival were created. Predictors of high-grade postoperative complications were evaluated with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results In all, 86 consecutive cases were included in this study. Forty-one patients (47.7%) developed postoperative complications, while 22 patients (25.6%) experienced high-grade complications. No mortality occurred during the postoperative period. The median survival of all patients was 25 months, and the estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 35.0%. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, a high peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score (HR, 1.07, 95% CI, 1.01–1.14; P=0.015) and grade 3–4 postoperative complications (HR, 1.86, 95% CI, 1.22–3.51; P=0.044) correlated with worse overall survival. High estimated blood loss (OR, 1.01, 95% CI, 1.01–1.02; P< 0.001) was identified as an independent risk factor for developing high-grade complications. Conclusion Careful patient selection, high levels of technical skill and improved perioperative management are crucial to ensure patient survival benefits after CRS+HIPEC.

Abstract Background The impact of primary tumour location on the prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) arising from colorectal cancer (CRC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is rarely discussed, and the evidence is still limited. Methods Patients with PM arising from CRC treated with CRS and HIPEC at the China National Cancer Center and Huanxing Cancer Hospital between June 2017 and June 2019 were systematically reviewed. Clinical characteristics, pathological features, perioperative parameters, and prognostic data were collected and analysed. Results A total of 70 patients were divided into two groups according to either colonic or rectal origin (18 patients in the rectum group and 52 patients in the colon group). Patients with PM of a colonic origin were more likely to develop grade 3–4 postoperative complications after CRS+HIPEC (38.9% vs 19.2%, P = 0.094), but this difference was not statistically significant. Patients with colon cancer had a longer median overall survival (OS) than patients with rectal cancer (27.0 vs 15.0 months, P = 0.011). In the multivariate analysis, the independent prognostic factors of reduced OS were a rectal origin (HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.15–4.93, P = 0.035) and incomplete cytoreduction (HR 1.99, 95% CI 1.06–4.17, P = 0.047). Conclusion CRS is a complex and potentially life-threatening procedure, and we suggest that the indications for CRS+HIPEC in patients with PM of rectal origin be more restrictive and that clinicians approach these cases with caution.

634 Background: Despite improving median survival of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, chemotherapy (CTx) compromises liver function. Therefore, selection of patients who are of high risk to develop liver dysfunction (LD) after surgery is important. As platelets are of major importance in liver regeneration, we investigated the impact of preoperative platelet counts on the incidence of postoperative LD and its correlation to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Methods: Patients treated with liver resection for mCRC between January 2000 and December 2010 were eligible. LD was defined as bilirubin > 5 mg/dL or prothrombin time <50% within the first postoperative week. The association of preoperative platelets < 150 x 103/ml with LD, 90 days mortality and surgical complications was analyzed. Results: 518 patients with metastatic CRC cancer underwent liver resection, of whom 68% had received neoadjuvant CTx. 21% of all patients developed LD. Postoperative complications occurred in 13.5%. 10 patients died within 90 days after liver resection (1.9%). The incidence of LD and complications was significantly higher in patients with preoperative platelets < 150 x 103/ml (P=0.010, P=0.047). 90 days mortality was nearly 3 times higher in patients with reduced preoperative platelets (9.8% vs. 3.7%). Neoadjuvant CTx was associated with an increased rate of platelets < 150 x 103/ml (with CTx 25%, without CTx 17%; P=0.051), LD (with CTx 23%, without CTx 15%; P=0.029) and postoperative mortality (with CTx 5.3%, without CTx 2.5%). Conclusions: Patients with platelets < 150 x 103/ml have an increased incidence of postoperative LD, major complications and 90 days mortality. Using this simple routine parameter, it might be possible to select patients that could be better served with alternative treatments such as radiofrequency ablation. Furthermore, reduced platelet counts and the incidence of LD were more frequent in patients after neoadjuvant CTx resulting in an increased 90 days mortality. This suggests that patients after extensive CTx accompanied by low platelets are of high risk to suffer from postoperative complications and surgical treatment should be reconsidered.

692 Background: It is now clear that there is a significant association between the magnitude of the systemic inflammatory response and postoperative complications (Adamina et al. Br J Surg 2015;102(6):590-8). The present study examined the impact of preoperative steroids on the postoperative systemic inflammatory response and complications, following elective surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods: The administration of dexamethasone at induction of anaesthesia was prospectively audited from a cohort of patients who underwent elective, potentially curative surgery for colorectal cancer at a single centre between 2008 and 2013. Results: 286 patients were included, of which the majority were male (161, 57%), over 65 (190, 66%) with colonic (183, 64%) and node negative disease (192, 67%). 114 (40%) received dexamethasone at induction of anaesthesia. There was a significant association (Table 1) between preoperative dexamethasone administration and the proportion of patients breaching established CRP thresholds on postoperative days 2 (190mg/L, 14% vs. 50%, p<0.001), and 3 (170mg/L, 27% vs. 49%, p<0.001) but not 4 (145mg/L, 50% vs. 36%, p=0.658). There was no significant association between preoperative dexamethasone and postoperative complications. Conclusions: The present study suggests that the systemic inflammatory response following surgery for colorectal cancer may be attenuated by preoperative steroids. It remains to be determined whether this will lead to a reduction in postoperative complications. [Table: see text]

Colon and rectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Screening effectively decreases colorectal cancer mortality. This study aims to evaluate the impact of colorectal cancer screening within a Veterans Affairs Medical Center and treatment outcomes. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained for a retrospective analysis of all colorectal cancer cases that were identified through the Tumor Registry of the Robley Rex VA Medical Center from 2000 to 2009. Data collected included age at diagnosis, race, risk factors, diagnosis by screening versus symptomatic evaluation, screening test, tumor location and stage, operation performed, operative mortality, and survival. A value of P < 0.05 on Fisher's exact, χ2, analysis of variance, or Cox regression analyses was considered significant. Three hundred fifty-four patients with colorectal cancer (255 colon, 99 rectal) were identified. One hundred twenty-one patients (34%) were diagnosed by screening. In comparison with those diagnosed by symptom evaluation (n = 233), these patients had earlier stage cancers, were more likely to have a curative intent procedure, and had improved 5-year survival rates. Older patients (older than 75 years old) were more likely to present with symptoms. High-risk patients were more likely to have colonoscopic screening than fecal occult blood testing. More blacks had Stage IV disease than nonblacks. Curative intent 30-day operative mortality was 2.1 per cent for colectomy and 0 per cent for rectal resection. Screening for colorectal cancer in the veteran population allows for better survival, detection at an earlier stage, and higher likelihood of resection.
