The aim of this study was to assess safety, efficacy and survival outcomes of repeat thermal ablation as compared to repeat partial hepatectomy in patients with recurrent colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). This Amsterdam Colorectal Liver Met Registry (AmCORE) based study of two cohorts, repeat thermal ablation versus repeat partial hepatectomy, analyzed 136 patients (100 thermal ablation, 36 partial hepatectomy) and 224 tumors (170 thermal ablation, 54 partial hepatectomy) with recurrent CRLM from May 2002 to December 2020. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), distant progression-free survival (DPFS) and local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS), estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and complications, analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariable analyses based on Cox proportional hazards model were used to account for potential confounders. In addition, subgroup analyses according to patient, initial and repeat local treatment characteristics were performed. In the crude overall comparison, OS of patients treated with repeat partial hepatectomy was not statistically different from repeat thermal ablation (p = 0.927). Further quantification of OS, after accounting for potential confounders, demonstrated concordant results for repeat local treatment (hazard ratio (HR), 0.986; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.517–1.881; p = 0.966). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS were 98.9%, 62.6% and 42.3% respectively for the thermal ablation group and 93.8%, 74.5% and 49.3% for the repeat resection group. No differences in DPFS (p = 0.942), LTPFS (p = 0.397) and complication rate (p = 0.063) were found. Mean length of hospital stay was 2.1 days in the repeat thermal ablation group and 4.8 days in the repeat partial hepatectomy group (p = 0.009). Subgroup analyses identified no heterogeneous treatment effects according to patient, initial and repeat local treatment characteristics. Repeat partial hepatectomy was not statistically different from repeat thermal ablation with regard to OS, DPFS, LTPFS and complications, whereas length of hospital stay favored repeat thermal ablation. Thermal ablation should be considered a valid and potentially less invasive alternative for small-size (0–3 cm) CRLM in the treatment of recurrent new CRLM. While, the eagerly awaited results of the phase III prospective randomized controlled COLLISION trial (NCT03088150) should provide definitive answers regarding surgery versus thermal ablation for CRLM.

e15027 Background: Colorectal liver metastases treated with perioperative chemotherapy were previously shown to increase progression free survival. Given the survival benefit of bevacizumab in metastatic CRC, the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab based chemotherapy in the perioperative setting. Methods: In this single arm prospective pilot study, patients with resectable LM eligible to receive perioperative BV and chemotherapy were included. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was used to calculate overall survival and progression free survival. Results: A total of 60 patients were recruited, 41 male, with an average age of 55. Forty-three patients had synchronous LM. All but seven patients received pre and post-operative BV-based chemotherapy (34/60 oxaliplatin based, 22/60 CPT-11 based and 4/60 CPT-11 and oxaliplatin based). All patients underwent hepatectomy 6–8 weeks post last dose of BV. Overall response rate was 80% (48/60), 4pt with stable diseaase; 10% had a complete pathological response and 27% had no evidence of disease post hepatectomy with a median follow up of 33 months.8 patients progressed prior to surgery. Overall survival (OS) rates at 12, 24, 36 and 48 months were: 100%, 86%, 74% and 66% respectively and 5 year median survival of 55%. Progression free survival (PFS) was 14 months. Subgroup analysis of the data according to the chemotherapy pts received showed that PFS in the CPT-11 and the oxaliplatin arm were 13 and 15 months respectively. Most of the adverse events recorded were associated with the post-operative period and included wound healing (8pts), infections (2pts) and thromboemblic (6pts) disease. No sudden deaths or bowel perforations were reported. Conclusions: Bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy regimens in the peri-operative setting is effective in patients with colorectal liver metastases. Our 80% response rate and 10% complete pathological response is one of the highest reported and warrants further investigation in phase III trials. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Whether primary tumor location of colorectal cancer (CRC) affects survival of patients after resection of liver metastases remains controversial. This study was conducted to investigate the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis between right-sided CRC and left-sided CRC patients with liver metastases after hepatectomy. Methods: From 2002 to 2018, 611 patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent hepatectomy at our center were reviewed. Primary tumors located from cecum to transverse colon were defined as right-sided group (n = 141); tumors located from splenic flexure to rectum were defined as left-sided group (n = 470). Patients were compared between two groups before and after a 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results: Before PSM, median survival time and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate in right-sided group were 77 months and 56.3%, and those in left-sided group were 64 months and 51.1%, respectively. After PSM, median survival time and 5-year OS rate in right-sided group were 77 months and 55.9%, and those in left-sided group were 58.8 months and 47.3%, respectively. The OS rates did not differ between two groups before and after PSM (P = 0.575; P = 0.453). However, significant different recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was found before and after PSM between right-sided and left-sided group (P = 0.028, P = 0.003). Conclusions: Compared to patients with left-sided primary tumors, patients with right-sided primary tumors had a worse RFS but similar OS. Careful preoperative evaluation, intensive preoperative chemotherapy and frequent follow-up to detect early recurrence might be justified for CRLM patients with right-sided primary tumors.

Subgroup Analyses

This cohort study aimed to evaluate efficacy, safety, and survival outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by repeat local treatment compared to upfront repeat local treatment of recurrent colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). A total of 152 patients with 267 tumors from the prospective Amsterdam Colorectal Liver Met Registry (AmCORE) met the inclusion criteria. Two cohorts of patients with recurrent CRLM were compared: patients who received chemotherapy prior to repeat local treatment (32 patients) versus upfront repeat local treatment (120 patients). Data from May 2002 to December 2020 were collected. Results on the primary endpoint overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) and distant progression-free survival (DPFS) were reviewed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Subsequently, uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models, accounting for potential confounders, were estimated. Additionally, subgroup analyses, according to patient, initial and repeat local treatment characteristics, were conducted. Procedure-related complications and length of hospital stay were compared using chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS from date of diagnosis of recurrent disease was 98.6%, 72.5%, and 47.7% for both cohorts combined. The crude survival analysis did not reveal a significant difference in OS between the two cohorts (p = 0.834), with 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of 100.0%, 73.2%, and 57.5% for the NAC group and 98.2%, 72.3%, and 45.3% for the upfront repeat local treatment group, respectively. After adjusting for two confounders, comorbidities (p = 0.010) and primary tumor location (p = 0.023), the corrected HR in multivariable analysis was 0.839 (95% CI, 0.416–1.691; p = 0.624). No differences between the two cohorts were found with regards to LTPFS (HR = 0.662; 95% CI, 0.249–1.756; p = 0.407) and DPFS (HR = 0.798; 95% CI, 0.483–1.318; p = 0.378). No heterogeneous treatment effects were detected in subgroup analyses according to patient, disease, and treatment characteristics. No significant difference was found in periprocedural complications (p = 0.843) and median length of hospital stay (p = 0.600) between the two cohorts. Chemotherapy-related toxicity was reported in 46.7% of patients. Adding NAC prior to repeat local treatment did not improve OS, LTPFS, or DPFS, nor did it affect periprocedural morbidity or length of hospital stay. The results of this comparative assessment do not substantiate the routine use of NAC prior to repeat local treatment of CRLM. Because the exact role of NAC (in different subgroups) remains inconclusive, we are currently designing a phase III randomized controlled trial (RCT), COLLISION RELAPSE trial, directly comparing upfront repeat local treatment (control) to neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment (intervention).

Right Hemihepatectomy

The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors affecting intrahepatic progression-free survival (ihPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) undergoing portal vein embolization (PVE) and subsequent (extended) right hemihepatectomy. A total of 59 patients (mean age: 60.8 ± 9.3 years) with CRCLM who underwent PVE in preparation for right hemihepatectomy were included. IhPFS and OS after PVE were calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between the following factors and survival: patient age, laterality of the colorectal cancer (right- versus left-sided), tumor location (colon versus rectal cancer), time of occurrence of hepatic metastases (synchronous versus metachronous), baseline number and size of hepatic metastases, presence or absence of metastases in the future liver remnant (FLR) before PVE, preoperative carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) levels, time between PVE and surgery, history of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, and the presence or absence of extrahepatic disease before PVE. Median follow up was 18 months. The median ihPFS was 8.2 months (95% confidence interval: 6.2–10.2 months), and median OS was 34.1 months (95% confidence interval: 27.3–40.9 months). Laterality of the primary colorectal cancer was the only statistically significant predictor of ihPFS after PVE (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.242; 95% confidence interval: 1.125, 4.465; p = 0.022), with patients with right-sided colorectal cancer having significantly shorter median ihPFS than patients with left-sided cancer (4.0 ± 1.9 months versus 10.2 ± 1.5 months; log rank test: p = 0.018). Other factors, in particular also the presence or absence of additional metastases in the FLR, were not associated with intrahepatic progression-free survival. The presence of extrahepatic disease was associated with worse OS (HR = 3.050, 95% confidence interval: 1.247, 7.459; p = 0.015).
