Objective: To clarify the appropriate treatment policy for colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastasis, case series were analyzed retrospectively. Summary of background data: The frequency of colorectal cancer and peritoneal dissemination occurring simultaneously is 4% to 7%. The prevention of peritoneal metastasis and the development of a strategy for cure are considered important factors in improving the treatment outcome of colorectal cancer. Methods: A total of 60 patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal dissemination were enrolled in this study. Tumor and host condition characteristics and treatment regimens affecting patient survival were tested by using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: Histologic type, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, macroscopic complete resection, and Glasgow Prognostic Score were found to be independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusions: Peritoneal carcinomatosis can result in better patient prognoses in patients with well-differentiated carcinoma, less peritoneal spread, low levels of tumor markers, and a low Glasgow Prognostic Score. In these patients, curative resection of peritoneal metastases followed by intensive chemotherapy might be effective.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of nutritional and inflammatory measures (controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS)) on overall survival (OS) in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods: Subjects were 996 patients with stage IV CRC who were referred to the National Cancer Center Hospital between 2001 and 2015. We retrospectively investigated correlations between OS and CONUT score, PNI, and mGPS. Multivariate analyses were performed using Cox proportional hazards regression models.Results: After adjusting for known factors (age, gender, BMI, ECOG performance status, location of primary tumor, CEA levels, histological type, M category, and prior surgical treatment), all three measures were found to be independent prognostic factors for OS in patients with stage IV CRC (CONUT score, p<0.001; PNI, p<0.001; mGPS, p<0.001). Significant differences in OS were found between low CONUT score (0/1) (n=614; 61%) and intermediate CONUT score (2/3) (n=276; 28%) (hazard ratio (HR)=1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.42, p=0.032), and intermediate CONUT score and high CONUT score (≥4) (n=106; 11%) (HR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.01-1.67, p=0.045). Significant differences in OS were found between mGPS=0 (n=633; 64%) and mGPS=1 (n=234; 23%) (HR=1.84, 95% CI: 1.54-2.19, p<0.001), but not between mGPS=1 and mGPS=2 (n=129; 13%) (HR=1.12, 95% CI: 0.88-1.41, p=0.349). Patients with low PNI (<48.0) (n=443; 44%) showed a significantly lower OS rate than those with high PNI (≥48.0) (n=553; 56%) (HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.19-1.62, p<0.001).Conclusions: CONUT score, PNI, and mGPS were found to be independent prognostic factors for OS in patients with stage IV CRC, suggesting that nutritional and inflammatory status is a useful host-related prognostic indicator in stage IV CRC.

606 Background: In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), the local and systemic inflammatory responses (LIR and SIR) are important determinants of disease progression, and may be linked by activation of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway. The present study examines the associations between STAT3 expression and activation with LIR and SIR of patients undergoing resection of CRC. Methods: Patients with stage I-III CRC who underwent curative resection in a single institution and who were included in a previously constructed tissue microarray were studied. IHC was utilised to examine cytoplasmic total STAT3 and nuclear phosphorylated STAT3Tyr705 (pSTAT3) expression. The relationship between STAT3/pSTAT3 expression and clinicopathological characteristics, LIR (Klintrup-Makinen (KM) grade, CD3+ and CD8+T-cell density) and SIR (modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS)) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) was examined. Results: 201 patients were included. Cytoplasmic STAT3 expression was associated with nuclear pSTAT3 expression (P= 0.019). Increased cytoplasmic STAT3 expression was associated with high density of T-cells within the intraepithelial compartment (CD3+: low STAT3 – 49% vs. high STAT3 – 29%, P= 0.008; CD8+: low STAT3 – 43% vs. high STAT3 – 20%, P = 0.002) and with an elevated mGPS (mGPS > 1: low STAT3 – 31% vs. high STAT3 – 49%, P= 0.003) but not with any other clinicopathological features. Increased nuclear pSTAT3 expression was associated with younger age and lymph node involvement (P< 0.05) but was not associated with the LIR or SIR. Combined assessment of cytoplasmic STAT3 and nuclear pSTAT3 expression stratified 5-year CSS from 78% (both low) to 50% (both high) (P= 0.006). Conclusions: Activation of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway may be an important determinant of the LIR and SIR in patients with colorectal cancer. Furthermore, assessment of host inflammatory responses may identify patients likely to benefit from therapies targeting this pathway. Taken together with the results of recent clinical trials, the results of the present study suggest that recruitment of patients into future trials of such agents should be stratified by the inflammatory status of the patient.

The prognostic impact of the combination of the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. We aimed to investigate the clinical usefulness of this combination as a predictor of survival in CRC patients. We retrospectively evaluated 769 CRC patients who had undergone surgery between January 2006 and March 2014. The CAR and mGPS within 1 month postoperation were examined. The integrated area under the curve (iAUC) was compared among mGPS, CAR, and the combined classification (CC). The optimal CAR cut-off for discriminating overall survival was 0.14. Based on this cut-off, the mGPS 0 group was divided into the mGPS 0 with low CAR and the mGPS 0 with high CAR groups, whereas all mGPS 1 and 2 patients were classified into the high CAR group. CC was an independent prognostic factor, and its iAUC value (0.587, 95% CI 0.553–0.624) was superior to those of the mGPS (0.544, 95% CI 0.516–0.576) (bootstrap iAUC mean difference = 0.043; 95% CI = 0.015–0.072) and CAR (0.578, 95% CI 0.545–0.613) (bootstrap iAUC mean difference = 0.009; 95% CI = 0.002–0.017), respectively. In conclusion, the combination of mGPS and CAR has a synergistic effect and has a higher prognostic accuracy than mGPS or CAR alone in patients with CRC.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths around the world. It is necessary to identify patients with poor prognosis or with high risk for recurrence so that we can selectively perform intensive treatments such as preoperative and/or postoperative chemotherapy and extended surgery. The clinical usefulness of inflammation-related prognostic biomarkers available from routine blood examination has been reported in many types of cancer, e.g., neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte–C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte–monocyte ratio (LMR), and so on. Moreover, some scoring systems based on circulating blood cell counts and albumin concentration have been also reported to predict cancer patients’ prognosis, such as the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), systemic inflammation score (SIS), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The optimal biomarker and optimal cutoff value of the markers can be different depending on the cancer type. In this review, we summarize the prognostic impact of each inflammation-related marker in CRC.
