RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anatomic location of primary tumors across the colon correlate with survival in the metastatic setting, whereas left-sided tumors may exhibit superior survival compared with right-sided tumors. The Oncotype Recurrence Score (RS) assay is a clinically validated predictor of recurrence risk in patients with stage II colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous studies had indicated that without adjuvant chemotherapy, CDX2-negative stage II CRC tumors are associated with a lower rate of disease-free survival than CDX2-positive stage II CRC tumors. We aimed to evaluate whether these two validated prognostic biomarkers may correlate with primary tumor location, and whether tumor location may reflect differential prognosis in stage II CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients with T3 mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-P) stage II CRC for whom RS assay was performed. Pathological report was reviewed for exact primary tumor location and CDX2 immunostaining. RS and CDX2 expression were correlated with primary tumor location. RESULTS: The analysis included 1,147 patients with MMR-P stage II CRC (median age 69 years [range 29-93]). Tumor distribution across the colon was as follows: 46% (n = 551) were right-sided and 54% (n = 596) were left-sided. RS was higher in right-sided tumors (p = .01). The RS results gradually decreased across the colon (cecum, highest score; sigmoid, lowest score; p = .04). Right-sided tumors exhibited more CDX2-negative tumors (p = .07). CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that right-sided colorectal tumors may display worse prognosis compared with left-sided tumors in MMR-P stage II CRC. Primary tumor location may serve as a prognostic factor that should be taken into account for recurrence risk assessment and consideration of adjuvant treatment. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Sidedness matters, even in stage II colorectal cancer (CRC). Using two previously established prognostic tools, the Oncotype DX assay and CDX2 expression, this study found that right-sided tumors may display worse prognosis compared with left-sided tumors in mismatch repair-proficient stage II CRC. Therefore, primary tumor location should be taken into account for recurrence risk assessment and consideration of adjuvant treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of the 12-gene Colon Cancer Recurrence Score Assay-a clinically validated prognosticator in stage II colon cancer after surgical resection-on adjuvant treatment decisions in T3 mismatch repair proficient (MMR-P) stage II colon cancer in clinical practice. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included all patients with T3 MMR-P stage II colon cancer (Clalit Health Services members) with Recurrence Score results (time frame January 2011 to May 2012). Treatment recommendations pretesting were compared with the treatments received. Changes were categorized as decreased (to observation alone/removing oxaliplatin from the therapy) or increased (from observation alone/adding oxaliplatin to the therapy) intensity. RESULTS: The analysis included 269 patients; 58%, 32%, and 10% of the values were in the low (<30), intermediate (30-40), and high (≥41) score groups, respectively. In 102 patients (38%), treatment changed post-testing (decreased/increased intensity 76/26 patients). The overall impact was decreased chemotherapy use (45.0% to 27.9%; P < 0.001). Treatment changes occurred in all score groups, but more frequently in the high (change rate 63.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 42.3%-80.6%) than in the intermediate (30.6%; 95% CI 21.0%-41.5%) and low (37.6%; 95% CI 30.0%-45.7%) score groups. The direction of the change was consistent with the assay result, with increased intensity more common in higher score values and decreased intensity more common in lower score values. CONCLUSIONS: Testing significantly affected adjuvant treatment in T3 MMR-P stage II colon cancer in clinical practice. The study is limited by its design, which compared treatment recommendations pretesting to actual treatments received post-testing, lack of a control group, and nonassessment of confounding factors that may have affected treatment decisions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We compared the efficacy and toxicity of oral capecitabine and continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the preoperative chemoradiation treatment of patients with rectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The files of 89 patients with rectal cancer, 43 treated preoperatively with oral capecitabine and 46 with intravenous 5-FU, were reviewed, and the outcome of the groups was compared. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the complete pathological response rate between the capecitabine and the 5-FU groups (30% vs. 17%, P = 0.15). The downstaging rate was higher in the capecitabine group (77% vs. 50%, P = 0.009). Toxicity was mild in both groups. The rate of Grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity was similar in the two groups (diarrhea 2% vs. 4%, proctitis 5% vs. 7%), except for one patient in the 5-FU group (2%) who developed a rectovaginal fistula. In the capecitabine group, one patient (2%) had Grade 3 hand-foot syndrome, and another had an acute myocardial infarction. In the 5-FU group, two patients (4%) had Grade 3 hematological toxicity, and three (6%) had complications from Port-a-Cath insertion. CONCLUSION: Preoperative chemoradiation with oral capecitabine appears to be safe and well tolerated, and at least as good as continuous 5-FU.
