Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States, and up to half of patients develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Notably, somatic genetic mutations, such as mutations in RAS, BRAF, mismatch repair (MMR) genes, TP53, and SMAD4, have been shown to play a prognostic role in patients with CRLM. This review summarizes and appraises the current literature regarding the most relevant somatic mutations in surgically treated CRLM by not only reviewing representative studies, but also providing recommendations for areas of future research. In addition, advancements in genetic testing and an increasing emphasis on precision medicine have led to a more nuanced understanding of these mutations; thus, more granular data for each mutation are reviewed when available. Importantly, such knowledge can pave the way for precision medicine with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality of all racial groups in the USA, which may relate to differences in healthcare access or advanced stage at diagnosis. Recent evidence indicates that differences in tumor characteristics may also underlie disparities in mortality. To highlight recent findings and areas for investigation, we completed the first systematic review of racial disparities in CRC tumor prognostic markers, including clinicopathological markers, microsatellite instability (MSI), oncogene mutations, and novel markers, including cancer stem cells and immune markers. METHODS Relevant studies were identified via PubMed, limited to original research published within the last 10 years. Ninety-six articles were identified that compared the prevalence of mortality-related CRC tumor characteristics in African Americans (or other African ancestry populations) to White cases. RESULTS Tumors from African ancestry cases are approximately 10% more likely to contain mutations in KRAS, which confer elevated mortality and resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition. Conversely, African Americans have approximately 50% lower odds for BRAF-mutant tumors, which occur less frequently but have similar effects on mortality and therapeutic resistance. There is less consistent evidence supporting disparities in mutations for other oncogenes, including PIK3CA, TP53, APC, NRAS, HER2, and PTEN, although higher rates of PIK3CA mutations and lower prevalence of MSI status for African ancestry cases are supported by recent evidence. Although emerging evidence suggests that immune markers reflecting anti-tumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment may be lower for African American cases, there is insufficient evidence to evaluate disparities in other novel markers, cancer stem cells, microRNAs, and the consensus molecular subtypes. CONCLUSION Higher rates of KRAS-mutant tumors in in African Americans may contribute to disparities in CRC mortality. Additional work is required to understand whether emerging markers, including immune cells, underlie the elevated CRC mortality observed for African Americans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Many factors such as stress, lifestyle, and dietary habits are known to play a role in the initiation and progression of the disease. Herbal therapeutic agents including curcumin can hold a great potential against cancer treatment; however, their efficacy on CRC is still under investigation. Herein, we evaluated the anticancer mechanism of curcumin on four different CRC cell lines. METHODS Cells were treated with curcumin for 24, 48 and 72 h, and IC50 doses for each cell line were calculated. Mechanistic studies were conducted with the lowest IC50 dose determined for each cell line by evaluating apoptosis and necrosis, cell division, and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. RESULTS Curcumin treatment significantly decreased viability while increasing the SubG1 phase in all cell lines tested, indicating apoptosis is the main programmed cell death pathway activated upon curcumin treatment in CRC. In terms of pyroptosis, components of NLRP3 inflammasome were found to be elevated in SW480 and HCT116 cell lines, although to a lesser extent in the latter, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation was not observed in LoVo and HT29 cells. DISCUSSION Our results reveal that while curcumin effectively induces apoptosis, its effects on NLRP3-inflammasome mediated pyroptosis vary. Our results underline the need for further research focusing on the other inflammasome complexes to confirm the differential effects of curcumin on CRC.

Abstract
AIM Complimentary use of Liver directed therapies (LDTs) with systemic chemotherapy has improved oncologic outcomes in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). We analysed institutional results of multimodality management. Methods Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database of CRLM patients managed with LDT including surgical resection, Ablation, Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) or Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) between November 2011 to March 2020. Management plan was decided in multidisciplinary meeting. Resectable tumours underwent surgical resection or ablation or both in some cases. Borderline resectable or unresectable disease was treated with down staging chemotherapy or TACE/TARE followed by resection or ablation. All patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. Factors influencing survival were analysed. Results Out of total 375 patients, surgery alone was done in 191 (50.93%) patients while surgery with other LDT in 26 patients (6.93%). Ablation alone was done in 100 (26.66%) whereas TACE/TARE were done as standalone treatment in 21 (5.6%) and 7 (1.86%) patients respectively. TACE + ablation was done in 28 (7.46%) and TARE + ablation was done in 2(0.53%) patients.5-year Overall Survival(OS) was 49.8% while Event free survival(EFS) was 21.4%. The median OS and EFS for surgical group was significantly better than non-surgical group (78 V/s 39 months; p<0.05 and 20 V/s 15 months p <0.005). The resectable (78 months) group had better median OS as compared to borderline resectable and Unresectable group (39 months and 29 months). Male gender, resectable disease and surgical intervention were associated with improved OS. Conclusion Although surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, complementary use of non-surgical LDT with systemic therapy offers possibility of good outcomes in advanced liver limited disease. Our experience highlights the impact of multidisciplinary care in optimizing CRLM treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma, Coactivator 1 Beta (PGC-1β) and Estrogen-Related Receptor Alpha (ERRα) are over-expressed in colorectal cancer and promote tumor survival. METHODS In this study, we use immunoprecipitation of epitope tagged endogenous PGC-1β and inducible PGC-1β mutants to show that amino acid motif LRELL on PGC-1β is responsible for the physical interaction with ERRα and promotes ERRα mRNA and protein expression. We use RNAsequencing to determine the genes regulated by both PGC-1β & ERRα and find that mitochondrial Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) is the gene that decreased most significantly after depletion of both genes. RESULTS Depletion of PCK2 in colorectal cancer cells was sufficient to reduce anchorage-independent growth and inhibit glutamine utilization by the TCA cycle. Lastly, shRNA-mediated depletion of ERRα decreased anchorage-independent growth and glutamine metabolism, which could not be rescued by plasmid derived expression of PCK2. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that transcriptional control of PCK2 is one mechanism used by PGC-1β and ERRα to promote glutamine metabolism and colorectal cancer cell survival.

Abstract
Background and objectives. In colorectal cancers, the embryologic origin of the primary tumor determines important molecular dissimilarities between right-sided (RS) and left-sided (LS) carcinomas. Although important prognostic differences have been revealed between RS- and LS-patients with resected colorectal liver metastases (CLMs), it is still unclear if this observation depends on the RAS mutational status. To refine the impact of primary tumor location (PTL) on the long-term outcomes of patients with resected CLMs, the rates of overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and survival after recurrence (SAR) were compared between RS- vs. LS-patients, according to their RAS status. Material and Methods. All patients with known RAS status, operated until December 2019, were selected from a prospectively maintained database, including all patients who underwent hepatectomy for histologically-proven CLMs. A log-rank test was used to compare survival rates between the RS- vs. LS-group, in RAS-mut and RAS-wt patients, respectively. A multivariate analysis was performed to assess if PTL was independently associated with OS, RFS or SAR. Results. In 53 patients with RAS-mut CLMs, the OS, RFS and SAR rates were not significantly different (p = 0.753, 0.945 and 0.973, respectively) between the RS and LS group. In 89 patients with RAS-wt CLMs, the OS and SAR rates were significantly higher (p = 0.007 and 0.001, respectively) in the LS group vs. RS group, while RFS rates were similar (p = 0.438). The multivariate analysis performed in RAS-wt patients revealed that RS primary (p = 0.009), extrahepatic metastases (p = 0.001), N-positive (p = 0.014), age higher than 65 (p = 0.002) and preoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.004) were independently associated with worse OS, while RS location (p < 0.001) and N-positive (p = 0.007) were independent prognostic factors for poor SAR. Conclusions. After resection of CLMs, PTL had no impact on long-term outcomes in RAS-mut patients, while in RAS-wt patients, the RS primary was independently associated with worse OS and SAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for 10-year overall survival (OS) after resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) based on patient, tumour and treatment characteristics. METHODS Consecutive patients after complete resection of CRLM were included from two centres (1992-2019). A prediction model providing 10-year OS probabilities was developed using Cox regression analysis, including KRAS, BRAF and histopathological growth patterns. Discrimination and calibration were assessed using cross-validation. A web-based calculator was built to predict individual 10-year OS probabilities. RESULTS A total of 4112 patients were included. The estimated 10-year OS was 30% (95% CI 29-32). Fifteen patient, tumour and treatment characteristics were independent prognostic factors for 10-year OS; age, gender, location and nodal status of the primary tumour, disease-free interval, number and diameter of CRLM, preoperative CEA, resection margin, extrahepatic disease, KRAS and BRAF mutation status, histopathological growth patterns, perioperative systemic chemotherapy and hepatic arterial infusion pump chemotherapy. The discrimination at 10-years was 0.73 for both centres. A simplified risk score identified four risk groups with a 10-year OS of 57%, 38%, 24%, and 12%. CONCLUSIONS Ten-year OS after resection of CRLM is best predicted with a model including 15 patient, tumour, and treatment characteristics. The web-based calculator can be used to inform patients. This model serves as a benchmark to determine the prognostic value of novel biomarkers.

Abstract
Simple Summary Modern management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) requires a thorough knowledge of tumor biology and oncogenes mutations. RAS mutations are of paramount interest for the indication of targeted therapies and is increasingly considered as a negative prognostic factor for patients undergoing surgical resection or ablation for CRLM. Several studies discussed the results of specific technical considerations according to RAS mutational status on the oncological outcomes after surgical resection/ablation for CRLM. We reviewed the available data on the real impact of RAS mutations on the prognosis with special regard to the need of a tailored surgical (ablation) approach according to tumoral biology. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. More than 50% of patients with CRC will develop liver metastases (CRLM) during their disease. In the era of precision surgery for CRLM, several advances have been made in the multimodal management of this disease. Surgical treatment, combined with a modern chemotherapy regimen and targeted therapies, is the only potential curative treatment. Unfortunately, 70% of patients treated for CRLM experience recurrence. RAS mutations are associated with worse overall and recurrence-free survival. Other mutations such as BRAF, associated RAS /TP53 and APC/PIK3CA mutations are important genetic markers to evaluate tumor biology. Somatic mutations are of paramount interest for tailoring preoperative treatment, defining a surgical resection strategy and the indication for ablation techniques. Herein, the most relevant studies dealing with RAS mutations and the management of CRLM were reviewed. Controversies about the implication of this mutation in surgical and ablative treatments were also discussed.

Abstract
Simple Summary Primary tumor laterality (PTL) is the most recently identified prognostic factor associated with mortality in patients with resected colorectal cancer liver metastases, but whether it is prognostic in all patients or only those with wild-type KRAS tumors is debated. The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify all relevant articles and synthesize their evidence to estimate the effect of PTL per KRAS mutational status. We found that PTL and KRAS mutational status have a statistically significant interaction. Specifically, PTL has a variable effect in patients with wild-type versus KRAS-mutated tumors, with right-sided tumors associated with worse survival only in the former. This meta-analysis appears to resolve a long-lasting debate. Abstract Background: It is debated whether primary tumor laterality (PTL) is prognostic in all patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) or only those with KRAS wild-type or KRAS-mutated tumors; Methods: We systematically reviewed PubMed for studies reporting on resected CRLM originating from left-sided (LS) versus right-sided (RS) colon cancer stratified by KRAS status. Individual participant data (IPD) were used if available. Given that there are two definitions of PTL, we performed two meta-analyses for KRAS-mutated and two for wild-type patients. To assess if an interaction underlies the possible difference between the effects of PTL in KRAS-mutated vs. wild-type CRLM, we similarly performed two meta-analyses of interaction terms; Results: The meta-analyses included eight studies and 7475 patients. PTL had a prognostic association with OS in patients with wild-type tumors (HR for LS: 0.71 [0.60–0.84]), but not in those with KRAS-mutated tumors (HR: 0.99 [0.82–1.19]). This difference stemmed from a truly variable effect of PTL for each KRAS status (mutated vs. wild-type) as the meta-analysis of interaction terms showed a significant interaction between them (HR:1.38 [1.24–1.53]). Similar results were obtained when the second definition of PTL (LS to not include the rectum) was used; Conclusions: KRAS status modifies the association of tumor site with survival. Right-sided tumors are associated with worse OS only in patients with wild-type CRLM.

Abstract
Background: The age-dependent prognostic impact of KRAS status in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is unknown. Materials & Methods: We used the National Cancer Database to evaluate the survival by KRAS status for age-groups <50, 50-69 and ≥70, adjusting for relevant patient and tumor characteristics. Results: mCRC patients (n = 26,095; 33.5%) had KRAS status reported, and 11,338 of these patients (43.4%) had mutations in the KRAS gene. Patients with KRAS mutations had worse overall survival than wild-type KRAS patients. In age-groups <50 years (23 vs 29 months; p < 0.001) and 50-69 (21 vs 23.4 months; p < 0.001), KRAS mutations were significantly associated with worse survival, whereas in the ≥70-year age-group, there was no significant association (14 vs 14 months; p = 0.34). Conclusion: We conclude that the age of patients influences the prognostic value of KRAS mutation in metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Location of the primary tumor has prognostic value and predicts the effect of certain therapeutics in synchronous metastatic colorectal cancer. We investigated whether the association between primary tumor resection (PTR) and overall survival (OS) also depends on tumor location. METHODS Data on synchronous metastatic colorectal cancer patients from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (n=16,106) and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry (n=19,584) were extracted. Cox models using time-varying covariates were implemented. Median OS for right-sided colon cancer (RCC), left-sided colon cancer, and rectal cancer was calculated using inverse probability weighting and a landmark point of 6 months after diagnosis as reference. RESULTS The association between PTR and OS was dependent on tumor location (P<0.05), with a higher median OS of upfront PTR versus upfront systemic therapy in Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) of 1.9 (95% confidence interval: 0.9-2.8), 4.3 (3.3-5.6), and 3.4 (0.6-7.6) months in RCC, left-sided colon cancer and rectal cancer, respectively. In SEER data, the difference was 6.0 (4.0-8.0), 8.0 (5.0-10.0), and 10.0 (7.0-13.0) months, respectively. Hazard plots indicate a higher hazard of death 2 to 3 months after PTR in RCC. CONCLUSION Upfront PTR is associated with improved survival regardless of primary tumor location. Patients with RCC appear to have less benefit because of higher mortality during 2 to 3 months after PTR.

Abstract
Claudin-2 promotes breast cancer liver metastasis by enabling seeding and early cancer cell survival. We now demonstrate that Claudin-2 is functionally required for colorectal cancer liver metastasis and that Claudin-2 expression in primary colorectal cancers is associated with poor overall and liver metastasis-free survival. We have examined the role of Claudin-2, and other claudin family members, as potential prognostic biomarkers of the desmoplastic and replacement histopathological growth pattern associated with colorectal cancer liver metastases. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed higher Claudin-2 levels in replacement type metastases when compared to those with desmoplastic features. In contrast, Claudin-8 was highly expressed in desmoplastic colorectal cancer liver metastases. Similar observations were made following immunohistochemical staining of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) that we have established, which faithfully retain the histopathology of desmoplastic or replacement type colorectal cancer liver metastases. We provide evidence that Claudin-2 status in patient-derived extracellular vesicles may serve as a relevant prognostic biomarker to predict whether colorectal cancer patients have developed replacement type liver metastases. Such a biomarker will be a valuable tool in designing optimal treatment strategies to better manage patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. Tabariès et al. describe that claudin 2 is a promoter of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Furthermore, high Claudin-2 expression is associated with shorter time to liver-specific recurrence and is a biomarker of replacement type CRC liver metastases.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Surgical resection remains the gold standard in the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis. However, when a patient presents with a deep solitary colorectal liver metastasis (S-CLM), the balance between the hepatic volume sacrificed and the S-CLM volume is sometimes clearly unappropriated. Thus, alternatives to surgery, such as operative and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), have been developed. This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors affecting survival of patients with S-CLM who undergo curative-intent liver resection or local destruction (RFA or MWA). Methods We retrospectively identified 211 patients with synchronous or metachronous S-CLM who underwent either surgical resection (n=182) or local destruction (RFA or MWA; n=29) according to the S-CLM size, location, and surrounding Glissonian structures. Results Patients who underwent RFA or MWA had S-CLM of a smaller size than those who underwent resection (mean 19.7 vs. 37.3 mm, p<.01). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 97.4%, 84.9%, and 74.9%, respectively. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 77.9%, 47%, and 38.9%, respectively. S-CLM located in the left liver (p=.04), S-CLM KRAS mutation (p<.01), and extra-hepatic recurrence (p<.01) were identified as independent poor risk factors for overall survival (OS); the OS and DFS were comparable in patients with surgical procedure or percutaneous MWA. Conclusions In eligible S-CLM cases, percutaneous MWA seems to be as oncologically efficient as surgical resection and should be include in the decision-tree for treatment strategies.

Abstract
Simple Summary KRAS mutational heterogeneity between primary colorectal cancer and liver metastases may present a challenge in assessing prognostic information prior to the multimodal treatment. Aim of our study is to assess the incidence of KRAS discordance in a single-center series by comparing primary colorectal tumor specimens with the corresponding liver metastasis. Mutation analyses in all patients were performed at the same institution. Impact of discordance on overall survival and risk factors associated with discordance were analyzed. Our study showed that KRAS discordance was observed in 15.9% of patients. In patients with wild-type colorectal primary tumors, subsequent acquisition of mutation in the corresponding liver metastasis was associated with worse overall survival and was significantly more frequently found in patients with multiple liver metastases. These results suggested that, in the era of precision medicine, the possibility of KRAS discordance should be taken into account within the multidisciplinary management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Abstract If KRAS mutation status of primary colorectal tumor is representative of corresponding colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) mutational pattern, is controversial. Several studies have reported different rates of KRAS discordance, ranging from 4 to 32%. Aim of this study is to assess the incidence of discordance and its impact on overall survival (OS) in a homogenous group of patients. KRAS mutation status was evaluated in 107 patients resected for both primary colorectal tumor and corresponding CRLM at the same institution, between 2007 and 2018. Discordance rate was 15.9%. Its incidence varied according to the time interval between the two mutation analyses (p = 0.025; Pearson correlation = 0.2) and it was significantly higher during the first 6 months from the time of primary tumor evaluation. On multivariable analysis, type of discordance (wild-type in primary tumor, mutation in CRLM) was the strongest predictor of poor OS (p < 0.001). At multivariable logistic regression analysis, the number of CRLM >3 was an independent risk factor for the risk of KRAS discordance associated with the worst prognosis (OR = 4.600; p = 0.047). Results of our study suggested that, in the era of precision medicine, possibility of KRAS discordance should be taken into account within multidisciplinary management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutation of the KRAS oncogene (mKRAS) in colorectal cancer has been associated with aggressive tumor biology, resistance to epidermal growth factor inhibitors, and decreased overall survival (OS). The aim of the current study was to analyze the association of mKRAS with pathologic complete response (pCR) and neoadjuvant rectal (NAR) score, and its impact on the survival of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who were managed with multimodality therapy. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for stage II-III rectal cancer patients with a known KRAS status who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) and proctectomy between 2004 and 2015. RESULTS In total, 1886 patients were identified; 12% had pCR and 36% had mKRAS. Patients with mKRAS were more likely to have advanced pathologic T stage, tumor deposits, perineural invasion, and elevated carcinoembryonic antigen levels (all p ≤ .05). After adjustment for available confounders, mKRAS status was not associated with pCR or NAR score. In multivariable analysis, patients with pCR and lower NAR score had better OS, whereas mKRAS was independently associated with a worse prognosis. CONCLUSION In this cohort of locally advanced rectal cancer patients who underwent proctectomy after nCRT, mKRAS was not associated with lower pCR rates or NAR scores; however, these patients experienced worse survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 40% of colorectal cancers have a KRAS mutation. The prognostic significance of KRAS mutations in patients with non-metastatic colon cancer has not been well elucidated. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was used to analyze factors associated with KRAS mutation as well as its impact on the presentation and survival of patients with stages I-III colon cancer. METHODS The NCDB was queried to identify patients diagnosed with stages I-III adenocarcinoma of the colon from 2004 to 2015. RESULTS A total of 19,877 patients with known KRAS status were identified: mutation rates were 33% in stage I, 35% in stage II, and 38% in stage III patients (p < 0.01). On multivariable analysis, black race and right-sided location were independently associated with KRAS-mutated cancers (all p < 0.01). On univariate analysis for overall survival (OS), KRAS mutation was not significantly associated with a worse 5-year OS for stages I and II patients (p = 0.60 and 0.88, respectively). However, stage III KRAS-mutated colon cancers had a lower OS as compared with KRAS wild type cancers both on univariate and multivariable analysis. Right-sided colon cancers were independently associated with a worse prognosis compared with left-sided lesions (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS KRAS-mutated colon cancers were more frequently observed in black patients, right-sided locations, and higher-stage tumors. These mutations had a negative prognostic impact for stage III patients, suggesting that the incorporation of genotypic data into colon cancer staging may help to guide systemic therapy and prognostication of colon cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite significant advances in screening, surgical management and adjuvant therapies, average 5-year survival seldom exceeds 60% in most developed nations. Metastatic disease represents the primary cause of mortality in patients with CRC, and the liver is the most common location for distant tumour spread. Up to 25% of patients are found to have synchronous liver metastases at the time of diagnosis and a further 30%-40% will develop metachronous disease in the course of follow-up. It has been suggested that primary tumour location [right side versus left side, primary tumour location (PTL)] can influence oncological outcomes in this patient group and that this should be considered in prognostic models and therapeutic decision-making algorithms. This suggestion is not universally accepted and there have been conflicting reports in the literature to date.
AIM To provide a comprehensive summary of the available evidence regarding the impact of PTL on oncological outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM).
METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE were searched for relevant publications using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. Data on oncological outcomes was then extracted from full text articles that met the predefined inclusion criteria.
RESULTS A total of 41 studies were identified that met predefined inclusion criteria for this review. In 21 out of 38 studies that provided data on overall survival, a statistically significant improvement in overall survival was reported in patients with left sided primary tumours. These studies included a total of 13897 patients compared with 4306 patients in the studies that did not show a significant difference. Eight studies noted a similar trend towards improved disease-free or progression-free survival. Several authors observed distinct patterns of relapse after treatment of hepatic metastases according to PTL; for example hepatic recurrence after treatment of CRCLM appears to occur more aggressively with right-sided CRC.
CONCLUSION Taken together, the findings of the present review indicate that PTL may have a role as an independent prognostic factor when determining treatment and disease surveillance strategies in CRC. The mechanisms responsible for this variation remain poorly understood, but are likely to relate to molecular, histological and embryological differences, as well as inherent differences in therapeutic sensitivity.

Abstract
Purpose We explored differences in survival between primary tumor locations, hereby focusing on the role of metastatic sites in synchronous metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods Data for patients diagnosed with synchronous mCRC between 1989 and 2014 were retrieved from the Netherlands Cancer registry. Relative survival and relative excess risks (RER) were analyzed by primary tumor location (right colon (RCC), left colon (LCC), and rectum). Metastatic sites were reported per primary tumor location. Survival was analyzed for metastatic sites combined and for single metastatic sites. Results In total, 36,297 patients were included in this study. Metastatic sites differed significantly between primary tumor locations, with liver-only metastases in 43%, 54%, and 52% of RCC, LCC, and rectal cancer patients respectively (p < 0.001). Peritoneal metastases were most prevalent in RCC patients (33%), and lung metastases were most prevalent in rectal cancer patients (28%). Regardless of the location of metastases, patients with RCC had a worse survival compared with LCC (RER 0.81, 95% CI 0.78–0.83) and rectal cancer (RER 0.73, 95% CI 0.71–0.76). The survival disadvantage for RCC remained present, even in cases with metastasectomy for liver-only disease (LCC: RER 0.66, 95% CI 0.57–0.76; rectal cancer: RER 0.84, 95% CI 0.66–1.06). Conclusions This study showed significant differences in relative survival between primary tumor locations in synchronous mCRC, which can only be partially explained by distinct metastatic sites. Our findings support the concept that RCC, LCC and rectal cancer should be considered distinct entities in synchronous mCRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Location of the primary tumor side has become an increasingly prognostic factor for colorectal liver metastasis. The present study was to perform a meta-analysis to investigate if primary right-sided tumor impacted on long-term survival outcome of colorectal liver metastases following local treatment. METHOD Eligible trials were identified from the Embase, PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane database that were published before October in 2018. English language trials that compared long-term survival outcome of primary left-sided tumor with right-sided tumor colorectal liver metastases following local treatment were included. Hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases was investigated. The main study outcomes included overall survival and disease free survival of primary right-sided colorectal liver metastases following local treatment. The risk factors of largest tumor size, primary node metastases, multiple tumor and RAS mutation were also analyzed. A systematic review and meta-analysis was done using a fixed-effects model. Hazard ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to measure the pooled effect. RESULTS A total of twelve studies with 6387 patients were included. For primary right-sided colorectal liver metastases patients following hepatic resection, the overall pooled HR for 5-year overall survival rate was 1.354 (95% CI: 1.238-1.482; p = 0.000; I2 = 33.7%, p = 0.138). The pooled HR for 5-year disease free survival rate of primary right-sided CRLM in the included studies calculated using the fix-effects model was 1.104 (95% CI: 0.987-1.235; p = 0.084; I2 = 0%, p = 0.477). CONCLUSION It demonstrated that primary right-sided for colorectal liver metastases location was a significantly worse prognostic factor in terms of overall survival.
