Optimizing Treatment Strategy for Oligometastases/Oligo-Recurrence of Colorectal Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 16:142. [PMID: 38201569 PMCID: PMC10777959 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16010142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer, and nearly half of CRC patients experience metastases. Oligometastatic CRC represents a distinct clinical state characterized by limited metastatic involvement, demonstrating a less aggressive nature and potentially improved survival with multidisciplinary treatment. However, the varied clinical scenarios giving rise to oligometastases necessitate a precise definition, considering primary tumor status and oncological factors, to optimize treatment strategies. This review delineates the concepts of oligometastatic CRC, encompassing oligo-recurrence, where the primary tumor is under control, resulting in a more favorable prognosis. A comprehensive examination of multidisciplinary treatment with local treatments and systemic therapy is provided. The overarching objective in managing oligometastatic CRC is the complete eradication of metastases, offering prospects of a cure. Essential to this management approach are local treatments, with surgical resection serving as the standard of care. Percutaneous ablation and stereotactic body radiotherapy present less invasive alternatives for lesions unsuitable for surgery, demonstrating efficacy in select cases. Perioperative systemic therapy, aiming to control micrometastatic disease and enhance local treatment effectiveness, has shown improvements in progression-free survival through clinical trials. However, the extension of overall survival remains variable. The review emphasizes the need for further prospective trials to establish a cohesive definition and an optimized treatment strategy for oligometastatic CRC.

BMC Cancer 2023; 23:979. [PMID: 37833660 PMCID: PMC10571405 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11469-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Weekly paclitaxel + ramucirumab (wPTX + RAM) therapy is recommended as the standard second-line chemotherapy regimen for unresectable advanced/recurrent gastric cancer (GC) or esophagogastric junction cancer. Recent subgroup analysis of the RAINBOW trial revealed a higher frequency of severe neutropenia due to wPTX + RAM in Japanese compared to Western patients. However, no risk factors for severe neutropenia have been identified. METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients with advanced/unresectable gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer who received wPTX + RAM after failure to respond to platinum and fluoropyrimidine doublet chemotherapy between June 2015 and April 2020. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify the risk factors associated with grade 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia (FN). In addition, we investigated the relationship between the number of risk factors and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Among 66 patients who met the inclusion criteria, grade 4 neutropenia and FN occurred in 21 (31.8%) and 12 (18.2%) patients, respectively. Prior treatment with oxaliplatin-containing regimens was identified as an independent risk factor for developing grade 4 neutropenia (odds ratio (OR) 20.034, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 3.216-124.807, P = 0.001). Total bilirubin of > 1.5 mg/dL (OR 31.316, 95% CI 2.052-477.843, P = 0.013) and prior treatment with oxaliplatin-containing regimen (OR 12.502, 95% CI 1.141-137.022, P = 0.039) were identified as independent risk factors for developing FN. Next, we classified patients with 0, 1, 2 risk factor(s) as RF-0, RF-1, and RF-2 subgroups, respectively, and compared the PFS and OS among the three subgroups. PFS was not significantly different among the three subgroups, whereas OS was significantly shorter in the RF-2 subgroup (median 1.4 month, 95% CI 0.0-5.3 month) than in the RF-0 subgroup (median 10.2 month, 95% CI 6.8-13.5 month, P < 0.01 vs RF-2) and RF-1 subgroup (median 13.3 month, 95% CI 10.9-15.7 month, P < 0.01 vs RF-2). CONCLUSIONS Careful monitoring for grade 4 neutropenia and FN is needed for patients receiving wPTX + RAM therapy who have a history of treatment with oxaliplatin-containing regimens and higher total bilirubin levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) has evolved and become more personalized during the past several years. For example, depotentiation/reduced duration of systemic therapies has proven to be beneficial in both advanced and early stages of the disease. RECENT FINDINGS In particular, recent randomized studies of stage III and high-risk stage II CRC showed that a shorter duration (3 months), when compared to the historical 6-month comparator, provides nearly similar overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). In the setting of advanced, inoperable CRC, a relatively short induction phase (six to eight cycles) followed by biological agents is the current standard of care in RAS wild-type (wt). versus RAS mutated cases. With regard to potentially operable stage IV disease (with the aim of converting liver metastases to operability), a relatively short number of cycles (four to six cycles) should be offered with re-staging and re-evaluation for surgery as soon as possible in most cases. For inoperable liver metastases, a relatively intensive triplet or doublet plus targeted therapy may attain conversion in some cases and may even result in cure. Rectal cancer treatment continues to be a complex disease in terms of treatment and oncological results. Recent data seem to showcase the benefits of more prolonged sequential strategies (total neoadjuvant therapy, all treatment delivered before surgery, to reduce the risk of distant metastases and local control). In recent years, different strategies regarding treatment intensity have been employed in CRC in adjuvant and metastatic setting. Introduction of triplets as first-line therapy for colon cancer and as induction phase for rectal cancer are now therapeutic options. Conversely in stage II disease or low-risk stage III resected CRC, a reduced chemotherapy length is a new standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overall survival advantage of chemotherapy before versus after metastasectomy of liver or lung lesion is not clear for colon cancer with synchronous liver or lung metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adults 20 years or older with primary colon cancer and single organ metastatic disease either in the liver or lung at diagnosis were identified between 2010 and 2015 through the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Patients were categorized into 2 cohorts: pre-operative/peri-operative chemotherapy (neoadjuvant -[NAC]) or post-operative chemotherapy (adjuvant [AC]). Survivals and factors associated with were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS A total of 3038 patients with colon cancer with liver or lung metastases were identified. The percentage of patients receiving NAC had steadily increased from 12.29% to 28.31%, mostly in academic programs. On multivariate analysis, patients who received NAC had an overall survival advantage in the non-academic setting whereas no advantage is seen in the patients treated in the academic settings. The median overall survival for patients receiving NAC and AC was 47.24 months and 38.08 months, respectively. Factors associated with overall survival advantage in NAC patients treated in non-academic programs included age 20-49 years, CEA value of >30, right-sided colon primary, liver metastasis, and clear resection margins. CONCLUSIONS Metastatic colon cancer with single organ liver or lung lesions benefits from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, especially in -non-academic settings. The overall survival advantage in this setting has not been shown before.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) due to chemotherapy can cause severe hepatotoxicity, leading to impaired outcome in patients with colorectal cancer. A previous study introduced gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-MRI) to diagnose SOS. PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of Gd-EOB-MRI-based SOS diagnosis and its relationship with response to chemotherapy and long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six Gd-EOB-MRI scans of patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) were retrospectively analyzed. Three radiologists, blinded to clinical data, independently scored presence and severity of SOS on a 5-point scale (0, definitely not present to 4, definitely present). Patients with a score ≥3 were considered SOS+. Inter-observer agreement between readers was assessed with kappa statistics. Response (RECIST 1.1.), occurrence of new CRLM during follow-up (hepatic progression) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with and without SOS. RESULTS The inter-observer agreement of SOS scores was poor, with quadratic kappas of 0.17-0.40. For the binary outcome of SOS+ (confidence level [CL] 3-4) vs. SOS- (CL 0-2) agreement was poor, with kappas of 0.03-0.37. Median follow-up was 24 months (range 4-44 months). Response and OS between patients with and without SOS did not differ significantly for any of the readers. CONCLUSION Inter-observer agreement for the diagnosis of SOS on Gd-EOB-MRI is poor. No significant correlation with relevant outcomes was found for any of the readers. Therefore, MRI for SOS diagnosis might be less useful than previously reported. Other techniques should be explored to accurately diagnose SOS in absence of histological confirmation.

Abstract
Background We assessed the clinical presentations, biomarkers, and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI features that were associated with oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) to detect chemotherapy-associated SOS in a timely manner. Methods Fifty-seven patients who underwent oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI were included. Post-oxaliplatin heterogeneity in liver parenchyma was scored on a grading scale of 0 to 3. Abnormal clinical findings, including splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, gall bladder wall thickening, and hepatic vein narrowing, were also assessed. Additionally, alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and platelet counts were measured. Results For SOS, 21 patients were scored grade 0, 24 were grade 1, seven were grade 2, and five were grade 3. Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, gall bladder wall thickening, and hepatic vein narrowing were significantly correlated with the grade for non-tumorous hepatic parenchymal heterogeneity. For laboratory findings, ALT and AST levels, the AST-to-platelet ratio index score, and platelet counts were significantly associated with a high grade (≥2) of non-tumorous hepatic parenchymal heterogeneity. Conclusions We assessed the clinical presentations, biomarkers, and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI features that were associated with oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) to detect chemotherapy-associated SOS in a timely manner. Additionally, specific laboratory findings were significantly associated with a high grade (≥2).

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of liver-first (LFS) and classical (CS) strategy for the management of synchronous colorectal liver metastases (sCRLM). METHOD A literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The odds ratio, weighted mean difference, and 95% confidence interval were evaluated by means of the random-effects model. RESULTS Ten articles met the inclusion criteria, incorporating 3656 patients. Patients in the LFS group reported increased size of sCRLM and a higher rate of major hepatectomies. This study reveals comparable overall survival and disease-free survival at 1, 3, and 5 years postoperatively between the two strategies. Moreover, the mean operative time, length of hospital stay, the incidence of severe complications, and the 30-day and 90-day mortality were similar between the two groups. The mean intraoperative blood loss was significantly increased in the LFS group. CONCLUSION These outcomes suggest that both approaches are feasible and safe. Given the lack of randomized clinical trials, this meta-analysis represents the best currently available evidence. However, the results should be treated with caution given the small number of the included studies. Randomized trials comparing LFS to CS are necessary to further evaluate their outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Upfront systemic chemotherapy with target agents has been recommended for patients with stage IV colon cancer. Some with partial response are considered for curative resection. There is high risk of developing postoperative complications following upfront systemic chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate short-term perioperative outcomes of curative surgery after upfront chemotherapy in comparison with upfront surgery in patients with metastatic colon cancer. Methods Between January 2010 and October 2015, 146 patients (80 in the surgery first group, 66 in the upfront chemotherapy group) who underwent surgical resection before or after systemic chemotherapy for metastatic colon cancer were included in the present study. All decisions for treatment were made through a multidisciplinary team. Postoperative clinical outcomes and complications were analyzed to compare the groups. Results There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of postoperative clinical outcomes. Overall complication rates were not different between the groups (surgery first group: 46.3% vs. upfront chemotherapy group: 60.6%; P = 0.084). When classified according to the Clavien-Dindo method, there was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of major complications (grade 3 or more) (surgery first group: 18.9% vs. upfront chemotherapy group: 27.5%; P = 0.374). Conclusion There was no significant increase in major postoperative complications in metastatic colon cancer patients who received upfront chemotherapy followed by curative surgery. Careful patient selection and treatment planning are important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-associated liver injury (CALI) is a matter of concern for hepatobiliary surgeons as it can entail postoperative liver failure after an extensive hepatectomy. Recent studies have taken special interest in liver function parameters which can correlate with CALI to decrease this adverse event. Therefore, the current study investigates the usefulness of splenic volume as a biomarker of CALI through a portal hypertension mechanism, in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). STUDY DESIGN We carried out a study in patients with CRLM operated on between 2009 and 2014 in our center. All samples of healthy liver were graded for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and sinusoidal obstructive syndrome. Computarized tomography scans for spleen volumetry were analyzed for each patient at CRLM diagnosis, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 1 and 6 months after resection. RESULTS A group of 65 consecutive patients with CRLM of large bowel adenocarcinoma submitted to liver resection were included. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a greater spleen volume increase than those who did not receive treatment (p = 0.053), finding a statistically significant spleen growth in patients with NAFLD (p = 0.036). There was no correlation between spleen enlargement and postoperative complications or average stay. However, survival was decreased in patients with spleen growth and CALI. CONCLUSIONS Patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy for liver metastasis surgery have a greater splenic volume increase, which correlates with NAFLD and a lower survival.

Abstract
We report a female case of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) diagnosed pathologically after chemotherapy (Pmab+m-FOLFOX6) for ascending colon cancer with multiple liver metastases, focusing on the findings of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (EOB-MRI) and the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3) expression of in the liver. The patient was a 75-year-old female. She had received chemotherapy (Pmab+m-FOLFOX6) as six cycles for preoperative chemotherapy. After the preoperative chemotherapy, tumor sizes of hepatic metastases were reduced and hepatobiliary phase of EOB-MRI clearly depicted diffuse reticular hypointensity in the background liver. On the other hand, dynamic CT and/or other sequences of EOB-MRI did not show definite abnormality in the background liver. After the operation, this patient was pathologically confirmed as SOS demonstrating centrilobular congestion, sinusoidal dilatation, and perisinusoidal fibrosis. In normal liver parenchyma, OATP1B3 (uptake transporter of the EOB-MRI) expression is observed predominantly in centrilobular hepatocytes (zone 3). On the other hand, OATP1B3 expression was remarkably reduced because of the damages in the centrilobular (zone 3) hepatocytes in this SOS case. This indicated that EOB-MRI might be extremely sensitive in diagnosing SOS in its early stage.

Abstract
Alternative splicing is a key mechanism that regulates protein diversity and has been found to be associated with colon cancer progression and metastasis. However, the function of alternative splicing in chemoradiation‑resistant colon cancer remains elusive. In this study, we constructed a chemoradiation‑resistant colon cancer cell line. Through RNA-sequencing of normal and chemoradiation‑resistant colon cancer cells (HCT116), we found 818 genes that were highly expressed in the normal HCT116 cells, whereas 285 genes were highly expressed in the chemoradiation-resistant HCT116 (RCR-HCT116) cells. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that genes that were highly expressed in the HCT116 cells were enriched in GO categories related to cell cycle and cell division, whereas genes that were highly expressed in the RCR-HCT116 cells were associated with regulation of system processes and response to wounding. Analysis of alternative splicing events revealed that exon skipping was significantly increased in the chemoradiation‑resistant colon cancer cells. Moreover, we identified 323 alternative splicing events in 293 genes that were significantly different between the two different HCT116 cell types. These alternative splicing‑related genes were clustered functionally into several groups related with DNA replication, such as deoxyribonucleotide metabolic/catabolic processes, response to DNA damage stimulus and helicase activity. These findings enriched our knowledge by elucidating the function of alternative splicing in chemoradiation-resistant colon cancer.

Abstract
Currently, partial hepatectomy is the treatment of choice for a wide variety of liver and biliary conditions. Among the possible complications of partial hepatectomy, acute kidney injury (AKI) should be considered as an important cause of increased morbidity and postoperative mortality. Difficulties in the data analysis related to postoperative AKI after liver resections are mainly due to the multiplicity of factors to be considered in the surgical patients, moreover, there is no consensus of the exact definition of AKI after liver resection in the literature, which hampers comparison and analysis of the scarce data published on the subject. Despite this multiplicity of risk factors for postoperative AKI after partial hepatectomy, there are main factors that clearly contribute to its occurrence. First factor relates to large blood losses with renal hypoperfusion during the operation, second factor relates to the occurrence of post-hepatectomy liver failure with consequent distributive circulatory changes and hepatorenal syndrome. Eventually, patients can have more than one factor contributing to post-operative AKI, and frequently these combinations of acute insults can be aggravated by sepsis or exposure to nephrotoxic drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Treatment strategies for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) such as major hepatectomy and portal vein embolization (PVE) rely on liver regeneration. We aim to investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on liver regeneration occurring after PVE and after major hepatectomy. METHODS CRCLM patients undergoing PVE or major resection were identified retrospectively from our database. Liver regeneration data (expressed as future liver remnant [FLR] and percentage of liver regeneration [%LR]), total liver volume (TLV) and clinical characteristics were collected. RESULTS Between 2003 and 2013, 226 patients were included (85 major resection, 141 PVE). The median chemotherapy cycles was six in both groups. The median time interval between the last chemotherapy and the intervention was 51 days in the PVE group and 79 days in the hepatectomy group. In the PVE group, chemotherapy was not associated with altered liver regeneration (number of cycles [P = 0.435], timing [P = 0.563], or chemotherapy agent [P = 0.116]). Similarly in the major hepatectomy group, preoperative chemotherapy (number of cycles [P = 0.114]; agent [P = 0.061], timing [P = 0.126]) were not significantly associated with differences in liver regeneration (P = 0.592). In both groups, the predicted FLR% was inversely correlated with the %LR (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Chemotherapy does not affect liver regeneration following PVE or major resection. J. Surg.

Abstract
Background Complete mesocolic excision provides a correct anatomical plane for colon cancer surgery. However, manifestation of the surgical plane during laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision versus in computed tomography images remains to be examined. Methods Patients who underwent laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer underwent an abdominal computed tomography scan. The spatial relationship of the intraoperative surgical planes were examined, and then computed tomography reconstruction methods were applied. The resulting images were analyzed. Results In 44 right-sided colon cancer patients, the surgical plane for laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision was found to be composed of three surgical planes that were identified by computed tomography imaging with cross-sectional multiplanar reconstruction, maximum intensity projection, and volume reconstruction. For the operations performed, the mean bleeding volume was 73 ± 32.3 ml and the mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 22 ± 9.7. The follow-up period ranged from 6–40 months (mean 21.2), and only two patients had distant metastases. Conclusions The laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision surgical plane for right-sided colon cancer is composed of three surgical planes. When these surgical planes were identified, laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision was a safe and effective procedure for the resection of colon cancer.

Abstract
Objective The safety of the simultaneous resection of synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases (SCRLM) is still being debated. However, this simultaneous operative approach is more commonly adopted at present than in the past. Therefore, we compared simultaneous hepatic resection with delayed hepatic resection in this study. Methods All patients with SCRLM diagnosed before initial treatment between January 2009 and September 2013 were retrospectively included in our study. Short-term and long-term outcomes were compared in patients who underwent simultaneous colorectal and hepatic resection and those treated by delayed hepatectomy. Results Among the 73 patients diagnosed with SCRLM, simultaneous colorectal and hepatic resection was performed in 60 patients (82.2%), while delayed hepatic resection was performed in 13 patients (17.8%). The mortality rate was zero. The postoperative complication rate after delayed resection was higher than, but not significantly different from, that after simultaneous resection (46% vs. 23%, P=0.166). The duration of operating time (240 vs. 420 min, P<0.05) and postoperative hospital stay time (11 vs. 18 days, P<0.05) were shorter in the simultaneous resection group. After the initial treatments were given, the 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates in the simultaneous resection group were 77%, 59%, and 53%, respectively, whereas those in the delayed resection group were 67%, 42%, and 10%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate in the simultaneous resection group was 23%; overall survival differed significantly between the two groups (P=0.037). Median disease-free survival (DFS) times were 19.1 months in the simultaneous resection group and 8.8 months in the delayed resection group. DFS differed significantly between the two groups. Conclusions Simultaneous colorectal and hepatic resection is safe and exhibits advantages in the long-time survival of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced toxic liver injury is a relevant issue in the clinical management of patients affected with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This retrospective study evaluated patterns of liver toxicity in patients treated with FOLinic acid, Fluorouracil, IRInotecan (FOLFIRI)-based regimens. METHODS One hundred and fifty-six mCRC patients treated at the University Campus Bio-Medico between January 2003 and January 2013 were included in this retrospective analysis. All patients received a FOLFIRI backbone-based chemotherapy. Basal liver enzymes levels were assessed before starting the treatment and before every therapy course. R ratio and the aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio were calculated. RESULTS Ninety-one patients were male versus 55 female, and the median age of the population was 62 years (range: 38-83). Most patients had liver involvement at the beginning of first-line regimen (101 patients, 64.74%) and 59 patients had received a previous 5-FU based therapy in the adjuvant setting (37.82%). Aspartate aminotransferase level (167.87 vs 41.05 U/l; p < 0.001), Alanine aminotransferase level (94.48 vs 39.80 U/l; p = 0.004) and alkaline phosphatase (289.0 vs 172.44 U/l; p = 0.02) were significantly increased during the first 3 months of treatment. In the entire population, the calculated R ratio was 3.96 (95% CI: 3.25-4.51). In all three regimens, the calculated R ratio was between 2 and 5, without any statistical differences. CONCLUSIONS FOLFIRI-based hepatotoxicity has been indirectly defined as a mixed pattern injury in all three regimens evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study used case reports to review the role of systemic chemotherapy in oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and to suggest ways to integrate clinical research findings into the interdisciplinary management of this potentially curable subset of patients. METHODS This educational review discusses the role of chemotherapy in the management of oligometastatic metastatic CRC. RESULTS In initially resectable oligometastatic CRC, the goal of chemotherapy is to eradicate micrometastatic disease. Perioperative 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin together with surgical resection can result in 5-year survival rates as high as 57 %. With the development of increasingly successful chemotherapy regimens, attention is being paid to chemotherapy used to convert patients with initially unresectable metastasis to patients with a chance of surgical cure. The choice of chemotherapy regimen requires consideration of the goals for therapy and assessment of both tumor- and patient-specific factors. CONCLUSION This report discusses the choice and timing of chemotherapy in patients with initially resectable and borderline resectable metastatic CRC. Coordinated multidisciplinary care of such patients can optimize survival outcomes and result in cure for patients with this otherwise lethal disease.

Abstract
Cytotoxic chemotherapy prolongs survival of patients with advanced and metastatic tumors. This is, however, a double-edged sword with many adverse effects. Since the liver has a rich blood supply and plays an active role in the metabolism of medications, it is not surprising that there can be hepatic injury related to chemotherapy. In addition, radioembolization may affect the parenchyma of normal and cirrhotic livers. We review chemotherapy-associated liver injury in patients with colorectal liver metastases, including downsizing chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We discuss the mechanism of the hepatic injury, secondary to reactive oxygen species, and the spectrum of hepatic injury including, steatosis, steatohepatitis, hepatic sinusoidal injury and highlight the pharmacogenomics of such liver insults. Methods for reducing and treating the hepatotoxicity are discussed for specific agents including tamxifen and the newly introduced targeted antibodies.

Effect of preoperative chemotherapy on postoperative liver regeneration following hepatic resection as estimated by liver volume. World J Surg Oncol 2013; 11:65. [PMID: 23497123 PMCID: PMC3621216 DOI: 10.1186/1477-7819-11-65] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2012] [Accepted: 02/15/2013] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In order to analyze postoperative liver regeneration following hepatic resection after chemotherapy, we retrospectively investigated the differences in liver regeneration by comparing changes of residual liver volume in three groups: a living liver donor group and two groups of patients with colorectal liver metastases who did and did not undergo preoperative chemotherapy. Methods This study included 32 patients who had at least segmental anatomical hepatic resection. Residual liver volume, early postoperative liver volume, and late postoperative liver volume were calculated to study the changes over time. From the histopathological analysis of chemotherapy-induced liver disorders, the effect on liver regeneration according to the histopathology of noncancerous liver tissue was also compared between the two colorectal cancer groups using Kleiner’s score for steatohepatitis grading {Hepatology, 41(6):1313–1321, 2005} and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) grading for sinusoidal obstructions {Ann Oncol, 15(3):460–466, 2004}. Results Assuming a preoperative liver volume of 100%, mean late postoperative liver volumes in the three groups (the living liver donor group and the colorectal cancer groups with or without chemotherapy) were 91.1%, 80.8%, and 81.3%, respectively, with about the same rate of liver regeneration among the three groups. Histopathological analysis revealed no correlation between either the Kleiner’s scores or the SOS grading and liver regeneration. Conclusions As estimated by liver volume, the level of liver regeneration was the same in normal livers, tumor-bearing livers, and post-chemotherapy tumor-bearing livers. Liver regeneration was not adversely affected by the extent to which steatosis or sinusoidal dilatation was induced in noncancerous tissue by chemotherapy in patients scheduled for surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate the surgical management and outcomes of patients with primary colorectal cancer (CRC) and synchronous liver metastasis (sCRLM). STUDY DESIGN Using a multi-institutional database, we identified 1,004 patients treated for sCRLM between 1982 and 2011. Clinicopathologic and outcomes data were evaluated with uni- and multivariable analyses. RESULTS A simultaneous CRC and liver operation was performed in 329 (33%) patients; 675 (67%) underwent a staged approach ("classic" staged approach, n = 647; liver-first strategy, n = 28). Patients managed with the liver-first approach had more hepatic lesions and were more likely to have bilateral disease than those in the other 2 groups (p < 0.05). The use of staged operative strategies increased over the time of the study from 58% to 75% (p < 0.001). Liver-directed therapy included hepatectomy (90%) or combined resection + ablation (10%). A major resection (>3 segments) was more common with a staged approach (39% vs 24%; p < 0.001). Overall, 509 patients (50%) received chemotherapy in either the preoperative (22%) or adjuvant (28%) settings, with 11% of patients having both. There were 197 patients (20%) who had a complication in the postoperative period, with no difference in morbidity between staged and simultaneous groups or major vs minor hepatectomies (p > 0.05). Ninety-day postoperative mortality was 3.0%, with no difference between simultaneous and staged approaches (p = 0.94). The overall median and 5-year survivals were 50.9 months and 44%, respectively; long-term survival was the same regardless of the operative approach (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous and staged resections for sCRLM can be performed with comparable morbidity, mortality, and long-term oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
Hepatic steatosis is a hallmark of chemotherapy-induced liver injury. We made serial (1) H MRS measurements of hepatic lipids in patients over the time course of a 24-week chemotherapeutic regimen to determine whether (1) H MRS could be used to monitor the progression of chemotherapy-induced steatosis. Thirty-four patients with stage III or IV colorectal cancer receiving 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid and oxaliplatin (n=21) or hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine with systemic irinotecan (n=13) were studied prospectively. (1) H MRS studies were performed at baseline and after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment. A (1) H MR spectrum was acquired from the liver during a breath hold and the ratio of fat to fat+water (FFW) was calculated to give a measure of hepatic triglycerides (HTGCs). The methodology was histologically validated in 18 patients and the reproducibility was assessed in 16 normal volunteers. Twenty-seven patients completed baseline, 6-week and 24-week (1) H MRS examinations and one was censored. Thirteen of 26 patients (50%) showed an increase in FFW after completion of treatment. Six patients (23%) developed hepatic steatosis and two patients converted from steatosis to nonsteatotic liver. Patients whose 6-week hepatic lipid levels had increased significantly relative to baseline also had a high probability of lipid elevation relative to baseline at the completion of treatment. Serial (1) H MRS is effective for the monitoring of HTGC changes during chemotherapy and for the detection of chemotherapy-associated steatosis. Six of 26 patients developed steatosis during chemotherapy. Lipid changes were observable at 6 weeks.

Abstract
Surgical resection has played a major role in the treatment for colorectal liver metastases. The safety and efficacy of surgery for liver metastasis are obvious, although there are some differences between the western countries and Japan concerning the surgical indication, procedures, timing of chemotherapies in a perioperative period, and treatment of a primary disease. In future, long-term outcomes after surgical resection for colorectal liver metastases would be expected to be prolonged by combination of surgery and chemotherapies.

Abstract
An international panel of multidisciplinary experts convened to develop recommendations for the management of patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim was to address the main issues facing the CRC hepatobiliary multidisciplinary team (MDT) when managing such patients and to standardize the treatment patients receive in different centers. Based on current evidence, the group agreed on a number of issues including the following: (a) the primary aim of treatment is achieving a long disease-free survival (DFS) interval following resection; (b) assessment of resectability should be performed with high-quality cross-sectional imaging, staging the liver with magnetic resonance imaging and/or abdominal computed tomography (CT), depending on local expertise, staging extrahepatic disease with thoracic and pelvic CT, and, in selected cases, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with ultrasound (preferably contrast-enhanced ultrasound) for intraoperative staging; (c) optimal first-line chemotherapy-doublet or triplet chemotherapy regimens combined with targeted therapy-is advisable in potentially resectable patients; (d) in this situation, at least four courses of first-line chemotherapy should be given, with assessment of tumor response every 2 months; (e) response assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (conventional chemotherapy) or nonsize-based morphological changes (antiangiogenic agents) is clearly correlated with outcome; no imaging technique is currently able to accurately diagnose complete pathological response but high-quality imaging is crucial for patient management; (f) the duration of chemotherapy should be as short as possible and resection achieved as soon as technically possible in the absence of tumor progression; (g) the number of metastases or patient age should not be an absolute contraindication to surgery combined with chemotherapy; (h) for synchronous metastases, it is not advisable to undertake major hepatic surgery during surgery for removal of the primary CRC; the reverse surgical approach (liver first) produces as good an outcome as the conventional approach in selected cases; (i) for patients with resectable liver metastases from CRC, perioperative chemotherapy may be associated with a modestly better DFS outcome; and (j) whether initially resectable or unresectable, cure or at least a long survival duration is possible after complete resection of the metastases, and MDT treatment is essential for improving clinical and survival outcomes. The group proposed a new system to classify initial unresectability based on technical and oncological contraindications.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in chemotherapeutic agents, the prognosis for metastatic colon cancer remains poor. Over the past two decades, hepatic metastasectomy has emerged as a promising technique for improving survival in patients with metastatic colon cancer and in some cases providing long-term cure. To maximize safety and efficacy of metastasectomy, appropriate pre-operative imaging is needed. Advancements in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have led to improved detection of occult lesions and better definition of surgical anatomy. While CT, PET and MRI have a comparable sensitivity for detection of large liver metastases, MRI excels at detection of subcentimeter liver metastases compared to CT and FDG-PET, especially with the combination of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and hepatocyte-specific contrast agents. CT may be useful as a screening modality or in preoperative planning such as volumetric estimation of the remnant liver size or in defining preoperative arterial anatomy for hepatic artery infusion pump placement. While technologic advancements have led to unprecedented image quality and clarity, this does not replace the need for a dedicated, competent radiologist with experience in hepatic imaging.

Abstract
Liver metastasis from colorectal cancer has become a common disease associated with the increase of primary colorectal cancer in Japan. The standard treatment for resectable liver metastases is still complete liver resection. Recent advances in systemic chemotherapy have introduced another strategy, i.e., conversion chemotherapy, for patients with initially diagnosed unresectable liver metastases. The conversion rate after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is increasing with multidisciplinary approaches. Long-term clinical data have not been established yet. Indications for liver resection after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy; optimal chemotherapy regimens; and histological changes in the normal liver are important research issues for the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND We investigated the usefulness of a clinical risk scoring system (CRS) for guiding management and defining prognosis for patients with colorectal liver met"astases (CLM). METHOD We retrospectively analyzed data about the correlation between outcomes and Fong's CRS from 1989 to 2010 for patients treated for CLM at the Severance Hospital. RESULTS Of 566 patients, 232 received adjuvant treatment after liver resection. Of these patients, 185 (81%) had a low CRS (0-2) and 47 (19%) had a high CRS (3-5). Stratification into high and low CRS allowed significant distinction between Kaplan-Meier curves for outcome. The 5-year survival rate was 88.5% and 11.5% among patients with a low and high CRS, respectively (P < 0.001). Seventy patients with initially unresectable CLM underwent liver resection after tumor downsizing by induction chemotherapy. Shifting of the CRS from high to low (8 patients; 11.4%) improved disease-free survival and overall survival. CONCLUSION High CRS is associated with worse survival after resection in resectable and unresectable disease. The CRS may be used for risk assessment when recommending oncological surgical timing in initially unresectable disease and treatment options for perioperative or adjuvant treatment in resectable disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE First, to evaluate hepatocyte phospholipid metabolism and energetics during liver regeneration stimulated by portal vein embolization (PVE) using proton-decoupled (31)P MR spectroscopic imaging ((31)P-MRSI). Second, to compare the biophysiologic differences between hepatic regeneration stimulated by PVE and by partial hepatectomy (PH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects included six patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer who were scheduled to undergo right PVE before definitive resection of right-sided tumor. (31)P-MRSI was performed on the left liver lobe before PVE and 48 h following PVE. Normalized quantities of phosphorus-containing hepatic metabolites were analyzed from both visits. In addition, MRSI data at 48 h following partial hepatectomy were compared with the data from the PVE patients. RESULTS At 48 h after PVE, the ratio of phosphomonoesters to phosphodiesters in the nonembolized lobe was significantly elevated. No significant changes were found in nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) and Pi values. The phosphomonoester (PME) to phosphodiester (PDE) ratio in regenerating liver 48 h after partial hepatectomy was significantly greater than PME/PDE 48 h after PVE. CONCLUSION (31)P-MRSI is a valid technique to noninvasively evaluate cell membrane metabolism following PVE. The different degree of biochemical change between partial hepatectomy and PVE indicates that hepatic growth following these two procedures does not follow the same course.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A review of the peri-operative risk associated with hepatic resection in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and identification of measures for the improvement of cardiometabolic disturbances and liver-related mortality. BACKGROUND MetS and its hepatic manifestation non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are associated with an increased operative mortality in spite of a significant improvement in peri-operative outcome after hepatic resection. METHODS A review of the English literature on MetS, liver resection and steatosis was performed from 1980 to 2011 using the MEDLINE and PubMed databases. RESULTS MetS is a predictor of NAFLD and patients with multiple metabolic risk factors may harbour non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) predictive of operative and cardiovascular mortality. Pre-operative diagnosis of unsuspected NASH with the selective use of a liver biopsy can modify the operative strategy by limiting the extent of hepatic resection, avoiding or altering the pre-operative chemotherapy regimen and the utilization of portal vein embolization. Thiazolidinediones are therapeutic for MetS and NASH and Vitamin E for active NASH; however, their utility in improving the peri-operative outcome after hepatic resection is unknown. A short-term regimen for weight loss improves post-operative patient and liver-related outcomes in patients with >30% steatosis. Cardiovascular disease associated with MetS or NAFLD should be managed aggressively. Peri-operative measures to minimize thrombotic events and acute renal injury secondary to the pro-inflammatory, prothrombotic state of MetS may further improve the outcome. CONCLUSION Potential candidates for hepatic resection should be screened for MetS as the pre-operative identification of NASH, short-term treatment of significant steatosis, cardiovascular risk assessment and optimization of each component of MetS may improve the peri-operative outcome in this high-risk subset of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chemotherapy-induced hepatic injuries (CIHI) are an increasing problem facing hepatic surgeons. It may be possible to predict the risk of developing CIHI by analysis of genes involved in the metabolism of chemotherapeutics, previously established as associated with other forms of toxicity. METHODS Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction methodology (q-RT-PCR) was employed to quantify mRNA expression of nucleotide excision repair genes ERCC1 and ERCC2, relevant in the neutralization of damage induced by oxaliplatin, and genes encoding enzymes relevant to 5-flurouracil metabolism, [thymidylate synthase (TS), thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD)] in 233 hepatic resection samples. mRNA expression was correlated with a histopathological injury scored via previously validated methods in relation to steatosis, steatohepatitis and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. RESULTS Low-level DPD mRNA expression was associated with steatosis [odds ratio (OR) = 3.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.53-10.19, P < 0.003], especially when stratified by just those patients exposed to chemotherapy (OR = 4.48, 95% CI = 1.31-15.30 P < 0.02). Low expression of ERCC2 was associated with sinusoidal injury (P < 0.001). There were no further associations between injury patterns and target genes investigated. CONCLUSIONS Predisposition to the development of CIHI may be predictable based upon individual patient expression of genes encoding enzymes related to the metabolism of chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While several prognostic models have been developed to predict survival of patients who undergo hepatectomy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), few data exist to predict survival after recurrence. We sought to develop a model that predicts survival for patients who have developed recurrence following hepatectomy for mCRC. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on data from consecutive patients that underwent hepatectomy for mCRC. Clinicopathologic data, recurrence patterns, and outcomes were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. An integer-based model was created to predict the patterns of recurrence and survival after recurrence. RESULTS This analysis included 280 patients with a median follow-up of 50.1 months. Of these, 53% underwent major hepatectomy and 87% had negative margins. Recurrent disease developed in 63% of patients. After hepatectomy, factors associated with short disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) included CEA > 200 ng/ml (P < 0.0005), >1 metastasis (P < 0.0005), and a high Fong score (P < 0.0005). After recurrence, the pattern of recurrence was a strong predictor of OS (P < 0.0005). Independent predictors of the pattern of recurrence on multivariate analysis include CEA > 200 ng/ml, tumor size >5 cm, and >1 liver metastasis. A simple predictive scoring system was developed from the beta coefficients of this analysis that correlated with recurrence pattern (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS After hepatectomy, survival of patients with recurrent mCRC is strongly predicted by the patterns of recurrence, and the recurrence pattern can be predicted with a simple model. This can also be extended to create a scoring system that estimates expected survival.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant systemic therapy may induce steatosis or sinusoid obstruction syndrome in the liver. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of systemic therapy with irinotecan, oxaliplatin and cetuximab on conspicuity of liver metastases on computed tomography (CT). CT scans of 48 patients with initial unresectable colorectal liver metastases which were treated in a Europe-wide, opened, randomized phase II trial receiving oxaliplatin or irinotecan combined with folinic acid and cetuximab were analysed. The density of the metastases and the liver parenchyma before and after systemic therapy were analysed by region-of-interest technique and the tumour-to-liver difference (dHU TLD). The mean density of liver parenchyma and liver metastases did not vary significantly before and after neoadjuvant therapy on plain (56.3 ± 8.1 HU, 54.8 ± 13.5 HU) and arterial enhanced CT (76.0 ± 15.7 HU, 70.5 ± 20.4 HU). There was a significant reduction (105.6 ± 17.3 HU, 93.3 ± 18.2 HU) in the density of liver parenchyma on portal venous scans after systemic therapy (p < 0.0001) and a reduction of dHU TLD, consecutively. In patients with colorectal liver metastases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may have a toxic impact on liver parenchyma resulting in reduced tumour-to-liver contrast in contrast-enhanced CT. This may lead to underestimation of real lesion size.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS; formerly veno-occlusive disease) is a well-established complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, pyrrolizidine alkaloid intoxication, and widely used chemotherapeutic agents such as oxaliplatin. It is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Pathogenesis of SOS in humans is poorly understood. To explore its molecular mechanisms, we used Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays to investigate the gene expression profile of 11 human livers with oxaliplatin-related SOS and compared it to 12 matched controls. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that profiles from SOS and controls formed distinct clusters. To identify functional networks and gene ontologies, data were analyzed by the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis Tool. A total of 913 genes were differentially expressed in SOS: 613 being upregulated and 300 downregulated. Reverse transcriptase-PCR results showed excellent concordance with microarray data. Pathway analysis showed major gene upregulation in six pathways in SOS compared with controls: acute phase response (notably interleukin 6), coagulation system (Serpine1, THBD, and VWF), hepatic fibrosis/hepatic stellate cell activation (COL3a1, COL3a2, PDGF-A, TIMP1, and MMP2), and oxidative stress. Angiogenic factors (VEGF-C) and hypoxic factors (HIF1A) were upregulated. The most significant increase was seen in CCL20 mRNA. In conclusion, oxaliplatin-related SOS can be readily distinguished according to morphologic characteristics but also by a molecular signature. Global gene analysis provides new insights into mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-related hepatotoxicity in humans and potential targets relating to its diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Activation of VEGF and coagulation (vWF) pathways could partially explain at a molecular level the clinical observations that bevacizumab and aspirin have a preventive effect in SOS.

Abstract
Surgical resection offers the best chance for cure in patients with colorectal liver metastases; however, only 15-25% of them can benefit from surgery. To increase resectability a number of strategies have been developed in different fields including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiology. Bringing them together into an integrated framework has expanded the number of patients that can be treated with curative intent. This review focuses on recent oncosurgical changes, their impact, and future directions.

Abstract
The anticancerous chemotherapies are often responsible for toxic injury of the nontumoral liver. Two types of histological lesions were recently reported during the treatment of digestive cancers: the sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS); or veno-occlusive disease associated with the use of oxaliplatine, and steatohepatitis associated with the use of irinotecan. The SOS is a cause of increased postoperative morbidity, particularly during major hepatectomy or when more than six cycles of chemotherapy are administered. Steatohepatitis increases the postoperative morbidity and mortality. The new targeted molecules do not seem to modify the postoperative course. Hepatic injury and postoperative complications associated with chemotherapies used in the treatment of digestive cancers are summarized in this review.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), formerly named venoocclusive disease, is a well-known complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and ingestion of food or drinks contaminated by pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Many other drugs and toxins have been associated with SOS, including several chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressors. SOS contributes to significant morbidity and mortality in all these settings. This review describes the histologic lesions of SOS, details its pathogenesis as it is understood today, specifies the recent data on its causes and how it may influence clinical management of colorectal liver metastases, and discusses the current knowledge on diagnosis and preventive options.

Abstract
Modern oncosurgical strategies are producing dramatic response rates and remarkable long-term survival rates for patients with hepatic colorectal cancer metastases. However, the increasing delivery of preoperative systemic chemotherapy to patients has coincided with recognition of possible chemotherapy-associated injury to the nontumoral liver. Although multiple groups have described gross changes in the appearance of the liver following systemic chemotherapy, the exact histopathologic lesions have not been clearly defined. A review of the literature on the topic indicates that host factors (e.g., diabetes mellitus and obesity) may be responsible for the development of liver injury as much as the drugs being delivered. With a lack of published evidence indicating that chemotherapy-associated liver injury results in adverse outcomes, several groups have recently questioned the clinical significance of this entity. This review describes the current understanding of this topic and seeks to answer the question of whether chemotherapy-associated liver injury actually impacts outcomes.
