In spite of the high incidence of colorectal cancer, cases of right colon cancer presenting with local invasion are not common. This is even more infrequent if we focus on duodenal invasion and presence of duodenal fistula. We present the case of a patient admitted to our hospital due to severe weight loss, malnutrition and bowel obstruction. The patient was diagnosed of advanced right colon cancer with coloduodenal fistula and concomitant liver metastasis. According to diagnosis, palliative surgery was performed

Colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) that receive their blood supply via vessel co-option are associated with a poor response to anti-angiogenic therapy. Angiopoietins (Ang1 and Ang2) with their Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor (Tie2) have been shown to support vessel co-option. We demonstrate significantly higher expression of Ang1 in hepatocytes adjacent to the tumor region of human chemonaïve and treated co-opting (replacement histopathological growth patterns: RHGP) tumors. To investigate the role of the host Ang1 expression, Ang1 knockout (KO) mice were injected intra-splenically with metastatic MC-38 colon cancer cells that develop co-opting liver metastases. We observed a reduction in the number of liver metastases and interestingly, for the first time, the development of angiogenic driven desmoplastic (DHGP) liver metastases. In addition, in-vitro, knockout of Ang1 in primary hepatocytes inhibited viability, migration and invasion ability of MC-38 cells. We also demonstrate that Ang 1 alone promotes the migration and growth of both human and mouse colon cancer cell lines These results provide evidence that high expression of Ang1 in the host liver is important to support vessel co-option (RHGP lesions) and when inhibited, favours the formation of angiogenic driven liver metastases (DHGP lesions).

e22037 Background: Oncogenic mutations, such as KRAS, in colorectal cancer patients are considered standard molecular biomarkers that predict the clinical benefit for the targeted intervention with EGFR inhibitors. In addition, these mutations are associated with specific anatomical area in the colon tumor development, as BRAF mutations with the microsatellite instability. Methods: In this translational study we aim to assess the mutation frequencies of the EGFR [hotspot area and polyadenine deletions (A13_del)], KRAS, BRAFV600E, and PIK3CA oncogenes in a series of 280 colorectal cancer patients. Microsatellite instability phenotype is considered in this series. All patients' clinicopathological data were considered for statistical analysis and associations. Results: In this study, we verified multiple associations between oncogenic mutations and specified clinicopathological tumor features. Respectively, we identified the following significant results: 1) EGFR A13_deletions are associated with right colon carcinoma (22.2% vs. 3.3%; p<0.005), mucinous histotype (16% vs. 7.8%; p=0.042), G3 grading (19% vs. 7.3%; p=0.024) and microsatellite instability status (p<0.005); 2) PIK3CA mutations are related mucinous histotype (12% vs. 4.4%; p=0.021) 3) KRASG12 and KRASG13mutations are correlated respectively with the left (91.4% vs. 59.3%) and right (40.7% vs. 8.6%) colon cancer development (p<0.005), and finally 4) microsatellite instability is associated with right colon tumors (28.4% vs. 5.5%; p<0.005). Conclusions: Mostly, we verified a high frequency rate of the KRASG13 and EGFR A13_del oncogene mutations in right colon cancer; whereas KRASG12 codon mutation occurs more frequently in left colon cancers. In particular, we assessed that right colon cancer is associated with specific molecular characteristics, in comparison to left colon tumors. These evidences, in association with specific clinicopathological data, can delineate novel approaches for the colorectal cancer classification and targeted intervention.

622 Background: 50% of patients with colorectal cancer will develop liver metastases (CLM), for many patients this will be the first and only site of metastatic disease. A minority of the patients will undergo surgical resection with curative intent, the remainder may be offered treatment with chemotherapy and local ablative techniques. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly used to treat patients deemed unsuitable for surgery, as an adjunct to or holding procedure before hepatic resection or for patients with recurrent disease. In addition some centres use RFA in the palliative setting. The aim of this study was to determine survival outcomes according to RFA treatment intent in patients with CLM. Methods: Clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of all patients with CLM treated with RFA between 2005-2011 were recorded. Patients were grouped according to the intent with which they underwent their first RFA procedure, namely "curative intent", "holding intent" or "palliative intent". Overall survival was compared between the groups using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log Rank testing. Results: A total of seventy eight pts with CLM (M:F= 44:34), age (median=66, range 43-65 years), who underwent their first RFA procedure between 2005 and 2011 were identified. Thirty pts underwent RFA as a curative procedure (38%), 18 (23%) as a “holding procedure” before hepatic resection and 30 (38%) as a palliative procedure. The median OS for all patients was 25 months after first RFA treatment. Log Rank test showed survival was significantly different according to treatment intent; patients who underwent RFA as a holding procedure before hepatic resection had improved survival over those who underwent RFA with curative intent, who in turn had improved survival over those who underwent RFA with palliative intent (47 vs. 32 vs. 16 months, p = <0.001). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that patients do best if RFA is used as neo-adjuvant treatment prior to hepatic resection, compared to when it is used as curative or palliative procedure. Careful selection of pts is required to optimise outcomes for the pts receiving RFA.

866 Background: Hepatic resection is one of the treatment strategies for resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CLM). The role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in the management of initially resectable CLM is still unclear. Adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapeOx) appears to be equivalent to FOLFOX in patients with stage III colon cancer. Furthermore, the IDEA collaboration reported that adjuvant chemotherapy with the three months of CapeOx after curative resection for stage III colon cancer has equivalent efficacy to adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 months. We conducted a multi-institutional, single-arm, phase II trial to confirm the feasibility of the three months of adjuvant CapeOx for post curative resection of CLM. Methods: Patients received one course of capecitabine followed by four courses of CapeOx for a total five courses (15 weeks) as adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection of CLM. Oral capecitabine was given with 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily for 2 weeks in a 3-week cycle, and CapeOx consisted of oral capecitabine plus oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 1 in a 3-week cycle. The primary endpoint was completion rate of adjuvant chemotherapy. We set a threshold completion rate of protocol treatment of 45% and an expected completion rate of 70%. Given a one-sided α of 0.1 and statistical power of 80%, a minimum of 25 patients was required. Results: From May 2013 to November 2015, Twenty-eight patients were enrolled from six institutions: median age 69.5y, 54% male, 78.5% left-sided primary. Of the patients, 15 were synchronous metastases and 13 were metachronous. The locations of the metastases were unilobar in 20 patients and bilobar in 8. The mean number of lesions resected was two (range, 1 to 4). Among the 28 patients, 20 (71.4%: 95% CI, 53.6 to 89.3%) completed the protocol treatment. The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (29%). No treatment related death was observed. With a median follow-up period of 36 months (range 15-53months), 3 year-relapse free survival was 75.3%. Conclusions: The three months of adjuvant CapeOx is tolerable for post curative resection of CLM. Clinical trial information: 000011164.
