“…Patients with HS tended to have smaller volume, smaller number and lower proportion of bilobar distribution in CLLMs and higher BMI, which was similar to the previous studies 3,22. A smaller volume or number of CLLMs could give rise to a higher residual volume of normal liver and implicated a higher possibility of conversion hepatectomy and a longer survival 8,9. As it is widely accepted that the unbalanced baseline characteristics could result in interference of outcome, we used PSM to eliminate bias.…”

“…Highly effective chemotherapy regimens, termed as conversion therapy, help achieve radical resection for initially unresectable CLLMs. Conversion hepatectomy after oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based systemic chemotherapy with molecular targets for initially unresectable liver metastasis has been achieved in approximately 12–54% of patients 8,9. The latest ESMO guidelines recommend that all CRC patients with potential resectable liver metastases undergo conversion therapy, and secondary resection is a chance of cure for patients with effective conversion 10.…”

PurposeTo evaluate the role of hepatic steatosis (HS) in patients with synchronous colorectal liver-limited metastases (CLLMs) undergoing conversion therapy.Patients and methodsFrom March 2013 to March 2017, a total of 406 patients with initially unresectable CLLMs accepted conversion therapy in multidisciplinary team (MDT). Before the implementation of conversion therapy, all patients underwent CT scan to assess the presence of hepatic steatosis and divided into the HS group (n = 124) and the non-HS group (n = 282). After using propensity score matching (PSM) to eliminate the potential confounding bias of the two groups, the conversion hepatectomy rate and long-term oncological survival in two groups were compared.ResultsAfter 1:1 PSM, no significant difference was observed at baseline between patients in the HS group (n = 119) and the non-HS group (n = 119). Patients in the HS group had higher conversion hepatectomy rate from MDT evaluation (31.1% vs 18.5%, P = 0.029) and actual hepatectomy rate (30.2% vs 18.5%, P = 0.030), when compared with patients in the non-HS group, respectively. In addition, the HS group achieved better progression-free survival (PFS, P = 0.047) and overall survival (OS, P = 0.035) than that of the non-HS group. Multivariate logistic analysis confirmed that pretreatment HS was an independent predictor for conversion hepatectomy rate (OR, 2.393; 95% CI, 1.463–4.315, P = 0.001), and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that HS was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 0.493, 95% CI 0.281–0.866, P = 0.014) and OS (HR, 0.559, 95% CI 0.398–0.785, P = 0.001).ConclusionFor CLLM patients who underwent conversion therapy, hepatic steatosis could be an effective predictor for conversion hepatectomy rate and an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS.

“…Triplet chemotherapy have also shown to increase the resectability rate in patients with unselected RAS phenotype. In a meta-analysis of 4 randomized trials with 1013 patients comparing triplet vs doublets regimens [25] , the triplet chemotherapy did increase the R0 resectability with relative risk (RR) of 1.41(95% CI 1.07-1.85). Liver R0 resection rate also increased with RR of 2.28 (95% CI 1.34-3.89).…”

Background: Surgical resection of metastatic disease in patients with initially non-resectable colorectal cancer (CRC) has improved overall survival. Intensified chemotherapy regimens have increased the probability of converting unresectable metastasis to resectable. Here we report the result of combining intensive chemotherapy (triplet) and surgical resection of metastatic lesions in patients with metastatic CRC. Patients and methods: Patients with unresectable metastatic CRC were enrolled in phase I/II trial of triplet chemotherapy consisting of Capecitabine, oxaliplatin, Irinotecan, and Bevacizumab. Patients were given 5-8 cycles induction chemotherapy of the above regimen followed by maintenance capecitabine and bevacizumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient request. All patients were assessed at a multidisciplinary conference for possible surgical resection of their metastatic disease at the time of inclusion in the trial and two-monthly intervals thereafter. Patients who underwent R0 resection of their metastatic disease received adjuvant oxaliplatin and capecitabine to complete a total of 6 months of chemotherapy. Results: Fifty-three patients were enrolled. The median age was 52 years (range 23-74), 29(55%) were males, ECOG PS 0-1 was 13(66%), 11 (42%) had a right-sided tumor, 29 (55%) had resection of their primary tumor, 22(42%) had a single metastatic site and 8 (15.1%) had a liver-limited disease. Thirteen patients (24.5%) underwent surgical resection of residual metastatic disease +/- the primary tumor with 10 (18.9%) of them were R0. The surgical group had higher incidence of males compared to non-surgical group ( 69.3% vs 47.2%,p = 0.2), equal performance status, lower median number of metastatic sites (1 vs 2, p=0.09), higher mutant Kras (53.8 % vs 34.2%, p=0.3) and higher response rate ( 84.6% vs 56.2%, p=0.3). With a median follow up duration of 89 months, the median PFS for the whole group was 16.1 months [95% confidence interval (CI); 9.1-20] and the median OS was 28.2 months (95% CI; 22.5-53.3). The median PFS for the surgery group was 18.9 months (95% CI; 12.6-not reached) compared to 9.6 months (95% CI; 7.0-18.3) for the non-surgical group, Log-rank p =0.0165. The median OS for both groups was not reached (95% CI; 53.3-not reached) and 23.2 months (95% CI; 17.0-28.4) respectively, Log-rank p=0.0006). Five-year PFS and OS for the surgery group were 46.2% and 67.6% respectively. Conclusions: Patients with unresectable metastatic CRC and fit for triplet chemotherapy should have the benefit of combining this intensified regimen and surgical resection of their metastatic disease if possible.
