Abstract. Patients undergoing resection of hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer have a high risk of extrahepatic recurrence, most likely caused by early tumor cell dissemination or the manipulation of liver tumors during surgical resection. Using immunocytochemistry, we studied 47 patients for cytokeratin (CK)-positive (+) cells in: a) bone marrow (BM) samples to determine whether tumor cell dissemination had already occurred before surgery; and b) blood samples directly taken from the hepatic vein before and during surgery of liver metastases. In addition, normal and malignant liver tissues were evaluated for markers known to be involved in tumor progression and metastasis [urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), Her-2/neu, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R)] using sandwich enzyme immunoassays. CK + cells were detected in the BM of 26/47 patients (55%), in blood samples of 14/47 patients (30%) before surgery and 11/47 patients (23%) during surgery with a median detection rate of 1 (range, 1-14) CK + cell per 4x10 6 MNC. No CK + cells were found in 15/47 patients (32%) in any sample studied. Tumor tissue was obtained from 32/47 patients and normal liver tissue from 24/32 patients. While no differences were found for EGF-R and Her-2/neu, a 9-fold higher expression of uPA could be demonstrated in tumor tissue of 20/32 patients (63%) compared to normal liver tissue. When all obtained results were correlated with clinical outcome, neither the detection of CK + cells nor the expression pattern in the tumor tissue, or the combination of both, was predictive for extrahepatic recurrence or overall survival after a mean observation time of 43 months (range, 26-54 months). Although uPa is overexpressed in liver metastases of colorectal cancer, and dissemination of CK + cells during surgery of these metastases is a frequent event in colon cancer, these findings do not predict extrahepatic recurrence. Further characterization of single cells, especially those spread during surgery, will help to identify those patients with an increased risk of later relapse.
