AbstractLiver is the most common location of the colorectal cancer metastases occurrence. Liver resection is the only curative method of treatment. Unfortunately it is feasible only in 25% of patients with colorectal liver metastases, often because of the extensiveness of the disease.The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of total tumor volume, size and number of colorectal liver metastases in patients treated with right hemihepatectomy.Material and methods. A retrospective analysis was performed in a group of 135 patients with colorectal liver metastases, who were treated with right hemihepatectomy. Total tumor volume was estimated based on the formula (4/3)πr3. Moreover, the study included an analysis of data on the number and size of tumors, radicality of the resection, time between primary tumor resection and liver resection, pre-operative blood serum concentration of carcinoembryonal antigen (CEA) and carcinoma antigen Ca19-9. The predictive value of the factors was evaluated by applying a Cox proportional hazards model and the area under the ROC curve.Results. The univariate analysis has shown the predictive value of size of the largest tumor (p=0.033; HR=1.065 per each cm) on the overall survival, however no predictive value of number of tumors (p=0.997; HR=1.000) and total tumor volume (p=0.212; HR=1.002) was observed. The multivariate analysis did not confirm the predictive value of the size of the largest tumor (p=0.141; HR=1.056). In the analysis of ROC curves, AUROC for the total tumor volume, the size of the largest tumor and the number of tumors were 0.629, 0.608, 0.520, respectively.Conclusions. Total tumor volume, size and number of liver metastases are not independent risk factors for the worse overall survival of patients with colorectal liver metastases treated with liver resection, therefore increased values of these factors should not be a contraindication for surgical treatment

The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether patients over 70 years old are at significantly higher risk for worse outcomes following major liver resection. Hepatic resection is the only treatment offering long-term survival for patients with colorectal liver metastases. As the population considered for metastasectomy is aging, there are still controversial published results regarding the safety of major hepatectomy in elderly patients. Between December 2002 and April 2010, 327 patients underwent major liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: group A, <70 years old; and group B, ≥70 years old. Recorded, analyzed, and compared data across groups included the following: (1) patient characteristics including age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists performance status, primary tumor site and stage, adjuvant chemotherapy, number and size of metastatic lesions; (2) perioperative data including extent of resection, in-hospital mortality, postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay, length of intensive treatment unit stay and blood loss; and (3) overall survival. The patients' characteristics were similar as were the characteristics of their tumors. There was no difference in overall morbidity (25% versus 22%) or postoperative mortality (2.6% versus 2.9%) (P = 0.44 and 0.57, respectively). The overall survival was 67% versus 62% in group A and B, respectively (P = 0.09). Elderly patients can safely undergo major liver resection for colorectal liver metastases with short- and long-term outcomes comparable with younger patients.

The Impact

365 Background: Treatment for borderline colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is often started with chemotherapy. However, the impact on overall survival (OS) is still unknown. Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of preoperative chemotherapy on the outcome for up-front resectable borderline CLMs (BLR-CLM). Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 169 patients who underwent liver resection of BLR-CLM among 510 patients underwent liver resection for CLM between 2005 and 2013. BLR-CRLM was defined as CRLM of four or more nodules or 5cm or larger nodule. Time to surgical failure (TSF) was defined as the time until unresectable relapse or death. OS, recurrence free survival (RFS) and TSF were compared between BLR-CLM treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and up-front surgery (US). Results: After median follow-up period of 38 months, 5-year survival rate after liver resection of resectable cases (n = 263), BLR-CLM (n = 169), and initially unresectable CLM (n = 78) are 67.7%, 47.5% and 32.6%, respectively. For patients with BLR-CLM, 22 patients with early recurrence during or early after postoperative chemotherapy for the primary were excluded. In the remaining 147 patients, 75 patients were treated with NAC and 72 with US. Cumulative 5-year overall survival rates, progression free survival rates, and time-to surgical failure in NAC and US group are as follows: OS (60.1% vs 47.7%, p = 0.084), PFS (23.1% vs 15.5%, p < 0.0001), TSF (38.0% vs 34.4%, p = 0.020). Conclusions: Preoperative chemotherapy for BLR-CLM could improve PFS and TSF. The impact on OS was still marginal. Prospective controlled study will be necessary.

Abstract Aims Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has shown to reduce perioperative stress and improve short-term postoperative outcomes. However, little is known regarding the effect of ERAS on long-term oncological outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ERAS on overall survival in patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Methods Between 2006 and 2014, 387 patients underwent liver resection for CRLM at Royal Surrey County Hospital. The ERAS protocol after liver surgery was implemented in 2011. Data regarding patients’ demographics, oncological characteristics, long and short-term postoperative outcomes were obtained from a prospectively maintained institutional database. Comparative analysis was performed between the ERAS and non-ERAS patients. The primary objective was overall survival (OS) and secondary objective included identification of factors affecting OS. Results The groups were similar in terms of demographics, primary and secondary disease oncological characteristics. Intrahepatic recurrence rates were comparable between ERAS and non-ERAS group (30.3% vs 27% p = 0.496). Patients in the ERAS group demonstrated better 3-year survival rates in comparison with the non-ERAS ones (78.2% vs 68%, p = 0.027). Although survival was better at 5-years as well, this did not reach statistical significance (54.2% vs 50%, p = 0.470). The Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that increased length of hospital stay (HR 1.338, 95% CI 1.039-1.723, p = 0.024) and operative time (HR 1.580, 95% CI 1.173-2.128, p = 0.003) were the only parameters associated with increased risk for worse OS. Conclusions ERAS protocol may be associated with improved 3-year survival in patients undergoing liver surgery for CRLM.

Liver metastases of colorectal cancer can be operated with a curative intent in selected cases. However, more than half of the patients have a recurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), human chorionic gonadotropin β (hCGβ) and tumour-associated trypsin-inhibitor (TATI) in colorectal cancer patients before and 3 months after resection of liver metastases. Marker concentrations were determined in blood samples from 168 colorectal cancer patients, who underwent liver resection between the years 1998 and 2007 at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. The samples were taken before and 3 months after curative resection. Increased concentrations of CEA (>5 µg/L) and hCGβ (>1 pmol/L) 3 months after liver resection correlated with recurrence and impaired overall survival and increased CA19-9 (>26 kU/L) with impaired overall survival, but postoperative TATI was not prognostic. Preoperatively elevated CEA and CA19-9 correlated with impaired overall survival, but not with recurrence. Neither preoperative hCGβ nor TATI was prognostic. In conclusion, CEA is a useful prognostic marker, when measured 3 months after resection of colorectal liver metastases. CA19-9 also has prognostic significance and may have additional value.
