Abstract
Introduction
Data regarding the incidence and outcomes of mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) rectal cancer is limited. This study characterizes dMMR rectal cancer patients, comparing response after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and oncological outcomes to mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) rectal cancer patients.
Method
A retrospective cross-sectional cohort study was conducted in 67 Dutch centers. Data including patient and tumor characteristics, radiological and pathological reports and oncological follow-up outcomes were gathered from documentation in electronic patient files for patients who underwent a curative resection for primary rectal cancer in 2016. MMR-status was verified in pathology reports from immunohistochemistry or PCR microsatellite instability testing.
Results
MMR-status was determined in 1645 (54.9%) of 3001 stage I-IV rectal cancer patients, of which 46 (2.8%) were dMMR. Median follow up was 50 months (IQR 38-55). MMR-status was determined more often in younger patients. DMMR tumors were more locally advanced (cT4 23.9% vs. 8.8%, P = .010), and more distally located (mean distance to anorectal junction 3.6 cm vs. 5.3 cm, P = .004) than pMMR tumors. While radiological response after neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy was similar, pathological complete response was significantly higher in dMMR compared to pMMR tumors (24.0% vs. 10.0%, P = .039). Four-year local recurrence, distant metastases, cancer-specific or overall survival rate between patients with dMMR or pMMR tumors were similar.
Conclusion
In this population-based cohort, 2.8% of rectal cancers in which MMR-status was determined were subtyped as dMMR. Surprisingly, dMMR was associated with higher pathological complete response rate to neoadjuvant (chemo) radiotherapy than pMMR. MMR-status did not impact oncological outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of gastrointestinal cancers. Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to gastrointestinal cancers. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
