The discovery of various molecular markers and advances in tumor profiling have facilitated the development of new targeted agents and immunotherapy.

Furthermore, we are beginning to understand how these combination therapies may yield for greater therapeutic response for patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer for which there is much need for improvement.

However, optimal timing and patient selection criteria for early treatment withdrawal remain undefined. In this single-center retrospective study, we characterized the clinical response and associated survival outcomes of patients who received elective early versus late treatment discontinuation. We retrospectively analyzed patients with MSI-H metastatic CRC treated with ICI therapy from May 2015 to April 2024. Early ICI discontinuation was defined as treatment withdrawal before 2 years, and late ICI discontinuation as after 2 years. Response was assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Efficacy outcomes between early and late ICI discontinuation groups were compared using a log-rank test. Of 36 patients with MSI-H metastatic CRC, 12 underwent elective early ICI discontinuation and 9 experienced late ICI discontinuation. After a median follow-up of 32 months post-treatment, 91.7% (11/12) in the early discontinuation group remain off therapy without progression. PFS and OS outcomes between the early and late discontinuation groups were similarly favorable ( = .88 and = .85, respectively), despite a 12-month difference in median duration of ICI therapy (13.3 and 25.6 months, respectively). The most common reason for elective early treatment discontinuation was clinical remission (n = 10), defined as a complete response, or a partial response with negative PET and/or ctDNA testing. Early ICI discontinuation guided by response criteria resulted in low rates of recurrence. Survival outcomes between early and late ICI discontinuation groups were comparable, suggesting that treatment duration can be individualized based on clinical response without compromising favorable long-term prognosis.","PeriodicalId":10373,"journal":{"name":"Clinical colorectal cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this proof-of-concept study, we set out to further optimize neoadjuvant therapy by integrating the radiosensitizer trifluridine/tipiracil and explore the potential of cell free tumor DNA (ctDNA) to monitor residual disease. About 10 patients were enrolled in the phase I dose finding part which followed a 3 + 3 dose escalation design. Tipiracil/trifluridine was administered concomitantly to radiotherapy. ctDNA monitoring was performed before and after chemoradiation with patient-individualized digital droplet PCRs. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed at the maximum tolerated dose level of 2 × 35 mg/m² trifluridine/tipiracil. There were 9 grade 3 adverse events, of which 8 were hematologic with anemia and leukopenia. Chemoradiation yielded a pathological complete response in 1 out of 8 assessable patients, downstaging in nearly all patients, and 1 clinical complete response referred for watchful waiting. Three of 4 assessable patients with residual tumor cells at pathological assessment remained liquid biopsy positive after chemoradiation, but 1 turned negative. In this exploratory phase I trial, the novel combination of neoadjuvant trifluridine/tipiracil and radiotherapy proved to be feasible, tolerable, and effective. However, the application of liquid biopsy as a potential marker for therapeutic de-escalation in the neoadjuvant setting requires additional research and prospective validation.","PeriodicalId":10373,"journal":{"name":"Clinical colorectal cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate uptake for a regional colorectal cancer improvement programme in England. We calculated the proportion of patients receiving elective laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery amongst those diagnosed with colorectal cancer over 3 time periods (2007-2011, 2012-2016 and 2017-2021) in hospitals participating in the Yorkshire Cancer Research Bowel Cancer Improvement Programme (YCR BCIP). These were benchmarked against national rates. Regression analysis and funnel plots were used to develop a data driven approach for analysing trends in the use of MIS at hospitals in the programme. In England, resections performed by MIS increased from 34.9% to 72.9% for colon cancer and from 28.8% to 72.5% for rectal cancer. Robot-assisted surgery increased from 0.1% to 2.7% for colon cancer and from 0.2% to 7.9% for rectal cancer. Wide variation in the uptake of MIS was observed at a hospital level. Detailed analysis of the YCR BCIP region identified a decreasing number of surgical departments, since the start of the programme, as potential outliers for MIS when compared to the English national average. Wide variation in use of MIS for colorectal cancer exists within the English National Health Service and a data-driven approach can help identify outlying hospitals. Addressing some of the challenges behind the uptake of MIS, such as ensuring adequate provision of surgical training and equipment, could help increase its use.","PeriodicalId":10373,"journal":{"name":"Clinical colorectal cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we compared the impact of laparoscopic surgery on immunological biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and ventral hernia (VH). Natural Killer cell activity (NKA), leukocyte subsets, and soluble programmed death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) were measured in blood samples collected from CRC (n = 29) and VH (n = 9) patients preoperatively (PREOP) and on postoperative day (POD) 1, 3-6, 2 weeks and 3 months. NKA was evaluated by the NK Vue assay that uses the level of IFNγ as a surrogate marker of NKA. Normal NKA was defined as IFNγ > 250 pg/mL and low NKA was defined as IFNγ < 250 pg/mL. The CRC cohort was classified into either PREOP having preoperative low NKA or PREOP having preoperative normal NKA. The median NKA of the PREOP subset was only in the normal range in the POD3 months sample, whereas median NKA of the PREOP subset and the VH cohort were only low in the POD1 sample. While PREOP differed from VH in the PREOP-, POD1-, and POD3-6 samples ( =.0006, = .0181, and = .0021), NKA in PREOP and VH differed in the POD1 samples ( = .0226). There were no apparent differences in the distribution of leukocyte subsets in the perioperative period between the cohorts. CRC patients with preoperative normal NKA and VH patients showed the same pattern of recovery in NKA, while the CRC subset with preoperative low NKA seemed to experience prolonged NK cell impairment. As low NKA is associated with recurrence, preoperative level of NKA may identify patients who will benefit from immune-enhancing therapy in the perioperative period.","PeriodicalId":10373,"journal":{"name":"Clinical colorectal cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
