Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in surgical techniques and systemic treatments have increased the likelihood of achieving radical surgery and long-term survival in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with initially unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs). Nonetheless, roughly half of the patients resected after an upfront systemic therapy experience disease relapse within 6 months from surgery, thus leading to the question whether surgery is actually beneficial for these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A real-world dataset of mCRC patients with initially unresectable liver-limited disease treated with conversion chemotherapy followed by radical resection of CRLMs at three high-volume Italian institutions was retrospectively assessed with the aim of investigating the association of baseline and pre-surgical clinical, radiological and molecular factors with the risk of relapse within 6 or 12 months from surgery. RESULTS Overall, 268 patients were included in the analysis and 207 (77%) experienced recurrence. Ninety-six (46%) of them had disease relapse within 6 months after CRLM resection and in spite of several variables associated with early recurrence at univariate analyses, only primary tumour resection at diagnosis [odds ratio (OR) 0.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.32-0.89, P = 0.02] remained significant in the multivariable model. Among patients with resected primary tumours, pN+ stage was associated with higher risk of disease relapse within 6 months (OR 3.02, 95% CI 1.23-7.41, P = 0.02). One hundred and forty-nine patients (72%) had disease relapse within 12 months after CRLMs resection but none of the analysed variables was independently associated with outcome. CONCLUSIONS Clinical, radiological and molecular factors assessed before and after conversion chemotherapy do not reliably predict early recurrence after secondary resection of initially unresectable CRLMs. While novel markers are needed to optimize the cost/efficacy balance of surgical procedures, CRLM resection should be offered as soon as metastases become resectable during first-line chemotherapy to all patients eligible for surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few molecular markers driving treatment selection in later lines of treatment for advanced colorectal cancer patients. The vast majority of patients who progress after first- and second-line therapy undergo chemotherapy regardless of molecular data. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the prognostic and predictive effects of specific RAS mutations on overall survival of patients receiving regorafenib (rego), trifluridine/tipiracil (TFD/TPI), or both. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational study based on data from a previous study of our research network, involving nine Italian institutions over a 10-year timeframe (2012-2022). Extended RAS analysis, involving KRAS exon 2-4 and NRAS exon 2-4, and BRAF were the main criteria for inclusion in this retrospective evaluation. Patients with BRAF mutation were excluded. Patients were classified according to treatment (rego- or TFD/TPI-treated) and RAS mutational status (wild-type [WT], KRAS codon 12 mutations, KRAS codon 13 mutations, KRAS rare mutations and NRAS mutations, KRAS G12C mutation and KRAS G12D mutation). RESULTS Overall, 582 patients were included in the present analysis. Overall survival did not significantly differ in rego-treated patients according to RAS extended analysis, although a trend toward a better median survival in patients carrying G12D mutation (12.0 months), Codon 13 mutation (8.0 months), and Codon 12 mutation (7.0 months) has been observed, when compared with WT patients (6.0 months). Overall survival did not significantly differ in TFD/TPI-treated patients according to RAS extended analysis, although a trend toward a better median survival in WT patients had been observed (9.0 months) in comparison with the entire population (7.0 months). Patients receiving both drugs displayed a longer survival when compared with the population of patients receiving rego alone (p = 0.005) as well as the population receiving TFD/TPI alone (p < 0.001), suggesting a group enriched for favorable prognostic factors. However, when each group was analyzed separately, the addition of TFD/TPI therapy to the rego-treated group improved survival only in all-RAS WT patients (p = 0.003). Differently, the addition of rego therapy to TFD/TPI-treated patients significantly improved OS in the Codon 12 group (p = 0.0004), G12D group (p = 0.003), and the rare mutations group (p = 0.02), in addition to all-RAS WT patients (p = 0.002). The rego-TFD/TPI sequence, compared with the reverse sequence, significantly improved OS only in the KRAS codon 12 group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that RAS mutations do not affect outcome in rego-treated patients as well as TFD/TPI-treated patients. Nevertheless, a trend toward a higher efficacy of rego in RAS-mutated (in particular codon 12, rare RAS mutations, and G12D) patients has been recorded. The rego-TFD/TPI sequence seems to be superior to the reverse sequence in patients carrying an RAS codon 12 mutation, although the impact of other factors as disease burden or performance status cannot be excluded.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted therapy (TT) with encorafenib and cetuximab is the current standard for patients with BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who received one or more prior systemic treatments. However, the median progression-free survival (mPFS) is ∼4 months, and little is known about the possibility of administering subsequent therapies, their efficacy, and clinicopathological determinants of outcome. METHODS A real-world dataset including patients with BRAFV600E-mutated mCRC treated with TT at 21 Italian centers was retrospectively interrogated. We assessed treatments after progression, attrition rates, and outcomes. RESULTS Of the 179 patients included, 85 (47%), 32 (18%), and 7 (4%) received one, two, or three lines of treatment after TT, respectively. Those receiving TT in the second line were more likely to receive at least one subsequent therapy (53%), as compared with those treated with TT in the third line or beyond (30%; P < 0.0001), and achieved longer postprogression survival (PPS), also in a multivariate model (P = 0.0001). Among 62 patients with proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) tumors receiving one or more lines of treatment after second-line TT, combinatory chemotherapy ± anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) was associated with longer PFS and PPS as compared with trifluridine-tipiracil or regorafenib (mPFS: 2.6 versus 2.0 months, P = 0.07; PPS: 6.5 versus 4.4 months, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Our real-world data suggest that TT should be initiated as soon as possible after the failure of first-line treatment in BRAFV600E-mutated mCRC. Among patients with pMMR/MSS tumors, combinatory chemotherapy ± anti-VEGF appears the preferred treatment choice after TT failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are rare and lethal cancers, with a 5-year survival inferior to 20%(1-3). The only potential curative treatment is surgical resection. However, despite complex surgical procedures that have a remarkable risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, the 5-year survival rate after radical surgery (R0) is 20-40% and recurrence rates are up to ~ 75%(4-6). Up to ~ 40% of patients relapse within 12 months after resection, and half of these patient will recur systemically(4-6). There is no standard of care for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in resectable BTC, but retrospective reports suggest its potential benefit (7, 8). METHODS PURITY is a no-profit, multicentre, randomized phase II/III trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin and nabpaclitaxel (GAP) as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with resectable BTC at high risk for recurrence. Primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant GAP followed by surgery as compared to upfront surgery, in terms of 12-month progression-free survival for the phase II part and of progression free survival (PFS) for the phase III study. Key Secondary objectives are event free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival, (RFS), overall survival (OS), R0/R1/R2 resection rate, quality of life (QoL), overall response rate (ORR), resectability. Safety analyses will include toxicity rate and perioperative morbidity and mortality rate. Exploratory studies including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in archival tumor tissues and longitudinal ctDNA analysis are planned to identify potential biomarkers of primary resistance and prognosis. DISCUSSION Considering the poor prognosis of resected BTC experiencing early tumor recurrence and the negative prognostic impact of R1/R2 resections, PURITY study is based on the rationale that NAC may improve R0 resection rates and ultimately patients' outcomes. Furthermore, NAC should allow early eradication of microscopic distant metastases, undetectable by imaging but already present at the time of diagnosis and avoid mortality and morbidity associated with resection for patients with rapid progression or worsening general condition during neoadjuvant therapy. The randomized PURITY study will evaluate whether patients affected by BTC at high risk from recurrence benefit from a neoadjuvant therapy with GAP regimen as compared to immediate surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION PURITY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06037980) and EuCT(2023-503295-25-00).

Abstract
RAS mutations involving codon 61 are rare in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), accounting for only 1-4%, but they have recently been identified with high frequency in the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) of patients with secondary resistance to anti-EGFRs. This retrospective monocentric study aimed to investigate the clinical phenotype and prognostic performance of codon 61 RAS-mutated mCRC. Fifty patients with codon 61 RAS-mutated mCRC treated at our institution between January 2013 and December 2021 were enrolled. Additional datasets of codon 61 RAS wild-type mCRCs (648 patients) were used as comparators. The endpoint for prognostic assessment was overall survival (OS). Metastatic involvement of the peritoneum or ovary was significantly more frequent in codon 61 RAS-mutated mCRC compared to codon 61 RAS wild-type (54 vs. 28.5%), non-codon 61 RAS-mutated (35.6%), BRAF V600E-mutated (25%), and RAS/BRAF wild-type (20.5%) cohorts. At a median follow up of 96.2 months, the median OS for codon 61 RAS-mutated patients was significantly shorter compared to RAS/BRAF wild-type (26.9 vs. 36.0 months, HR 0.56) patients, while no significant difference was observed compared to non-codon 61 RAS-mutated and BRAF V600E-mutated patients. We showed a negative prognostic impact and a statistically significant correlation between codon 61 RAS mutations and metastatic involvement of the peritoneum and ovary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KRAS G12C is a mutation that occurs in approximately 3 to 4% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Monotherapy with KRAS G12C inhibitors has yielded only modest efficacy. Combining the KRAS G12C inhibitor sotorasib with panitumumab, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, may be an effective strategy. METHODS In this phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized trial, we assigned patients with chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer with mutated KRAS G12C who had not received previous treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor to receive sotorasib at a dose of 960 mg once daily plus panitumumab (53 patients), sotorasib at a dose of 240 mg once daily plus panitumumab (53 patients), or the investigator's choice of trifluridine-tipiracil or regorafenib (standard care; 54 patients). The primary end point was progression-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. Key secondary end points were overall survival and objective response. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 7.8 months (range, 0.1 to 13.9), the median progression-free survival was 5.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.2 to 6.3) and 3.9 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 5.8) in the 960-mg sotorasib-panitumumab and 240-mg sotorasib-panitumumab groups, respectively, as compared with 2.2 months (95% CI, 1.9 to 3.9) in the standard-care group. The hazard ratio for disease progression or death in the 960-mg sotorasib-panitumumab group as compared with the standard-care group was 0.49 (95% CI, 0.30 to 0.80; P = 0.006), and the hazard ratio in the 240-mg sotorasib-panitumumab group was 0.58 (95% CI, 0.36 to 0.93; P = 0.03). Overall survival data are maturing. The objective response was 26.4% (95% CI, 15.3 to 40.3), 5.7% (95% CI, 1.2 to 15.7), and 0% (95% CI, 0.0 to 6.6) in the 960-mg sotorasib-panitumumab, 240-mg sotorasib-panitumumab, and standard-care groups, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred in 35.8%, 30.2%, and 43.1% of patients, respectively. Skin-related toxic effects and hypomagnesemia were the most common adverse events observed with sotorasib-panitumumab. CONCLUSIONS In this phase 3 trial of a KRAS G12C inhibitor plus an EGFR inhibitor in patients with chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer, both doses of sotorasib in combination with panitumumab resulted in longer progression-free survival than standard treatment. Toxic effects were as expected for either agent alone and resulted in few discontinuations of treatment. (Funded by Amgen; CodeBreaK 300 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05198934.).

Abstract
PURPOSE BRAF mutations are rare in biliary tract cancers (BTC), but are of interest given the recent developments in targeted therapy for BTC. We investigated the clinical outcomes in a cohort of BRAF-mutant advanced BTC treated with first-line chemotherapy. Furthermore, we investigated the genomic landscape of BRAF class I, II, and III mutations in the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) subgroup of BTC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed two nonoverlapping cohorts. We examined the genomic landscape of BRAF-mutated iCCA in a "genomic cohort" [187 class I, 82 class II, 113 class III BRAF mutants and 8,026 wildtype (WT)]. We also analyzed median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) on first-line chemotherapy in a separate multi-institutional "clinical cohort" of patients with BTC (including iCCA and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) and gallbladder cancer; 41 class I, 32 class II+III BRAF mutants and 1,042 WT). RESULTS In the entire BTC clinical cohort, the median PFS was shorter for class I [HR, 2.11 (P < 0.001)] and class II+III [HR, 1.72 (P = 0.007)] as compared with BRAF WT. OS was also shorter in class I [HR, 2.04 (P = 0.011)] and class II+III [HR, 1.86 (P = 0.002)] as compared with BRAF WT. In the iCCA subgroup, class I alterations were mutually exclusive with FGFR2, IDH1/2, ERBB2, and KRAS mutations. Class II+III mutations appear to be mutually exclusive with FGFR2 and KRAS. CONCLUSIONS In BTC, all classes of BRAF mutations are associated with a worse prognosis. BRAF mutations occur in 5% of iCCA subgroup and may be mutually exclusive with other targetable mutations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical outcome and the efficacy of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA1/2 Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) is unknown. We explored the effects of chemotherapy with or without Platinum in non metastatic and metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA1/2 VUS. METHODS A retrospective analysis of non-metastatic or metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with gBRCA1/2 VUS treated in 13 Italian centers between November 2015 and December 2020 was performed. All patients were assessed for toxicity and RECIST 1.1 response. Metastatic patients were evaluated for survival outcome. RESULTS 30 pancreatic cancer patients with gBRCA1/2 VUS were considered: 20 were M+ and 10 were non-M+. Pl-CT was recommended to 16 patients: 10 M+ (6 FOLFIRINOX and 4 PAXG) and 6 non-M+ (3 FOLFIRINOX and 3 PAXG); 11 patients received Nabpaclitaxel-Gemcitabine (AG; 8 M+) and 3 patients (2 M+) were treated with Gemcitabine (G). The RECIST 1.1 response rate was 27% for AG and 44% for Pl-CT (22% for (m) FOLFIRINOX and 71% PAXG). 1 year Progression-Free Survival was 37.5% for patients treated with AG and 33% in the Pl-CT subgroup. Median Overall Survival (OS) was 23.5 months for patients treated with AG and 14 months for the Pl-CT subgroup. 1 Year and 2 Year OS were numerically better for AG (1 Year OS: 75% vs 60% and 2 Year OS: 50% and 20% in AG and Pl-CT subgroups, respectively) as well. CONCLUSIONS Pl-CT does not seem to be associated with a better outcome compared to AG chemotherapy in PDAC patients with BRCA 1/2 VUS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In RAS wild type (wt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) maintenance therapy after induction with fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based cytotoxic therapy (CT) plus anti-EGFR agents is controversial. METHODS Phase II-III randomized trials were included. Maintenance strategies considered were: observation, anti-EGFR or FP monotherapy, FP + anti-EGFR, doublet CT + anti-EGFR. RESULTS Maintenance with FP + anti-EGFR (HR 0.56, 95% CrI 0.36-0.89) showed the greatest PFS benefit compared to observation, ranking first on SUCRA analysis (96.4%). Considering OS, doublet CT+ anti-EGFR, FP + anti-EGFR and anti-EGFR monotherapy yielded similar results. For PFS, FP + anti-EGFR confirmed to be valuable in BRAF wt patients and left sided tumors. In left sided tumors, the OS benefit of adding CT was limited. FP plus anti-EGFR showed a favourable safety profile compared to doublet CT + anti-EGFR. CONCLUSIONS FP + anti-EGFR can be considered a valuable maintenance option in RAS wt mCRC. EGFR monotherapy can be considered, especially in left-sided tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with preoperative (chemo) radiotherapy and surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly feasible and its benefit is questionable. In the last years, several total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) strategies, moving the adjuvant chemotherapy to the neoadjuvant setting, have been investigated with the aim of improving compliance to systemic chemotherapy, treating micrometastases earlier and then reducing distant recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS ShorTrip (NTC05253846) is a prospective, multicentre, single-arm phase II trial where 63 patients with LARC will be treated with short-course radiotherapy followed by intensified consolidation chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI regimen and surgery. Primary endpoint is pCR. Among the first 11 patients who started consolidation chemotherapy, a preliminary safety analysis showed a high rate of grade 3 to 4 neutropenia (N = 7, 64%) during the first cycle of FOLFOXIRI. Therefore, the protocol has been emended with the recommendation to omit irinotecan during the first cycle of consolidation chemotherapy. After amendment, in a subsequent safety analysis focused on the first 9 patients treated with FOLFOX as first cycle and then with FOLFOXIRI, grade 3 to 4 neutropenia was reported in only one case during the second cycle. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to assess the safety and activity of a TNT strategy including SCRT, intensified consolidation treatment with FOLFOXIRI and delayed surgery. After protocol amendment, the treatment seems feasible without safety concern. Results are expected at the end of 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor arising from the epithelial cells of the bile ducts and is the second most common liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma. Recently, our Institution launched a Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) program (named FPG500 program), set up to provide a complete molecular characterization through the TruSight Oncology 500 High Throughput (TSO500HT) solution and samples that do not reach pre-set sample quantity and/or quality thresholds required for TSO500HT, are addressed to Oncomine Focus DNA Assay (OFA) and the Archer's FusionPlex Lung Panel (AFL). METHODS AND RESULTS Here we report the case of a patient with iCCA enrolled in the FPG500 program and screened by the orthogonal workflow (OFA/AFL). Although BRCA1 is not among the genes declared in the OFA panel, we unexpectedly detected a pathogenic variant in this gene (c.5278-2del, rs878853285). CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the diagnostic capabilities of CGP, now widely used in both clinical practice and academic setting. The incidental involvement of BRCA1 focuses attention on the role of BRCA genes in biliary tract cancers. Finally, as an orthogonal test confirmed the germline origin of BRCA1 c.5278-2del variant, the germline implications of CGP need to be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KRASG12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has recently been recognized as a distinct druggable molecular entity; however, there are limited data on its sensitivity to standard chemotherapy. In the near future, the combination of chemotherapy plus a KRASG12C-inhibitor might become the standard of care; however, the optimal chemotherapy backbone is unknown. METHODS A multicentre retrospective analysis was conducted including KRASG12C-mutated mCRC patients treated with first-line FOLFIRI or FOLFOX +/- bevacizumab. Both unmatched and propensity-score-matched analysis (PSMA) were conducted, with PSMA controlling for: previous adjuvant chemotherapy, ECOG PS, use of bevacizumab in first line, timing of metastasis appearance, time from diagnosis to first-line start, number of metastatic sites, presence of mucinous component, gender, and age. Subgroup analyses were also performed to investigate subgroup treatment-effect interactions. KRASG12D-mutated patients were analysed as control. RESULTS One hundred and four patients treated with irinotecan-(N = 47) or oxaliplatin-based (N = 57) chemotherapy were included. In the unmatched population, objective response rate (ORR) and median (m) progression-free and overall survival (mPFS and mOS) were comparable between the treatment arms. However, a late (>12 months) PFS advantage was observed with irinotecan (HR 0.62, p = 0.02). In the PSMA-derived cohort, a significant improvement with irinotecan vs. oxaliplatin was observed for both PFS and OS: 12- and 24-month PFS rates of 55% vs. 31% and 40% vs. 0% (HR 0.40, p = 0.01) and mOS 37.9 vs. 21.7 months (HR 0.45, p = 0.045), respectively. According to the subgroup analysis, interaction effects between the presence of lung metastases and treatment groups were found in terms of PFS (p for interaction = 0.08) and OS (p for interaction = 0.03), with a higher benefit from irinotecan in patients without lung metastases. No difference between treatment groups was observed in the KRASG12D-mutated cohort (N = 153). CONCLUSIONS First-line irinotecan-based regimens provided better survival results in KRASG12C-mutated mCRC patients and should be preferred over oxaliplatin. These findings should also be considered when investigating chemotherapy plus targeted agent combinations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AtezoTRIBE phase II randomized study demonstrated that adding atezolizumab to first-line FOLFOXIRI (5fluoruracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, with a modest benefit among proficient mismatch repair (pMMR). DetermaIO is an immune-related 27-gene expression signature able to predict benefit from immune-checkpoint inhibition in triple-negative breast cancer. In this analysis of AtezoTRIBE, we investigated the predictive impact of DetermaIO in mCRC. METHODS mCRC patients unselected for MMR status were randomized(1:2) to FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (control arm) or the same regimen with atezolizumab (atezolizumab arm). RT-qPCR by DetermaIO was performed on RNA purified from pre-treatment tumours of 132(61%) out of 218 enrolled patients. A binary result (IOpos versus IOneg) adopting the pre-established DetermaIO cut-point (0.09) was obtained, and an exploratory optimized cut-point (IOOPT) was computed in the overall population and in pMMR subgroup (IOOPTpos versus IOOPTneg). RESULTS DetermaIO was successfully determined in 122 (92%) cases, and 23 (27%) tumours were IOpos. IOpos tumours achieved higher PFS benefit from atezolizumab arm than IOneg (HR:0.39 versus 0.83, P interaction=0.066). In pMMR tumours (N=110), a similar trend was observed (HR:0.47 versus 0.93, P interaction=0.139). In the overall population, with the computed IOOPT cut-point (0.277), 16 (13%) tumours were IOOPTpos and they derived higher PFS benefit from atezolizumab than IOOPTneg(HR:0.10 versus 0.85, P interaction=0.004). Similar results were found in the pMMR subgroup. CONCLUSIONS DetermaIO may be useful to predict benefit of adding atezolizumab to first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab in mCRC. The exploratory IOOPT cut-point should be validated in independent mCRC cohorts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor immune cells influence the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and many efforts aim at identifying features of tumor immune microenvironment able to predict benefit from ICIs in proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). METHODS We characterized tumor immune cell infiltrate, by assessing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), Immunoscore, Immunoscore-IC, and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor samples of patients with mCRC enrolled in the AtezoTRIBE study, a phase II randomized trial comparing FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab/atezolizumab to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab, with the aim of evaluating the prognostic and predictive value of these features. RESULTS Out of 218 patients enrolled, 181 (83%), 77 (35%), 157 (72%) and 162 (74%) specimens were successfully tested for TILs, Immunoscore, Immunoscore-IC and PD-L1 expression, respectively, and 69 (38%), 45 (58%), 50 (32%) and 21 (13%) tumors were classified as TILs-high, Immunoscore-high, Immunoscore-IC-high and PD-L1-high, respectively. A poor agreement was observed between TILs and Immunoscore or Immunoscore-IC (K of Cohen <0.20). In the pMMR population, longer progression-free survival (PFS) was reported for Immunoscore-high and Immunoscore-IC-high groups compared with Immunoscore-low (16.4 vs 12.2 months; HR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.30 to 0.99; p=0.049) and Immunoscore-IC-low (14.8 vs 11.5 months; HR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.35 to 0.85; p=0.007), respectively, with a significant interaction effect between treatment arms and Immunoscore-IC (p for interaction: 0.006) and a trend for Immunoscore (p for interaction: 0.13). No PFS difference was shown according to TILs and PD-L1 expression. Consistent results were reported in the overall population. CONCLUSIONS The digital evaluation of tumor immune cell infiltrate by means of Immunoscore-IC or Immunoscore identifies the subset of patients with pMMR mCRC achieving more benefit from the addition of the anti-PD-L1 to the upfront treatment. Immunoscore-IC stands as the most promising predictor of benefit from ICIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) provided significant antitumor activity in various tumors, mainly carrying deleterious mutations of BRCA1/BRCA2 genes. Only few data are available regarding the cardiac and vascular safety profile of this drug class. We carried out a meta-analysis for assessing the incidence and relative risk (RR) of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), hypertension, and thromboembolic events in patients with solid tumors treated with PARPi-based therapy. METHODS Prospective studies were identified by searching the Medline/PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ASCO Meeting abstracts. Data extraction was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Combined odds ratios (ORs), RRs, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects methods, depending on studies heterogeneity. RevMan software for meta-analysis (v.5.2.3) was used to carry out statistical analyses. RESULTS Thirty-two studies were selected for the final analysis. The incidence of PARPi-related MACEs of any and high grade was 5.0% and 0.9%, respectively, compared with 3.6% and 0.9% in the control arms, corresponding to a significant increased risk of MACEs of any grade (Peto OR 1.62; P = 0.0009) but not of high grade (P = 0.49). The incidence of hypertension of any grade and high grade was 17.5% and 6.0% with PARPi, respectively, compared with 12.6% and 4.4% in the controls. Treatment with PARPi significantly increased the risk of hypertension of any grade (random-effects, RR = 1.53; P = 0.03) but not of high grade (random-effects, RR = 1.47; P = 0.09) compared with controls. Finally, PARPi-based therapies significantly increased the risk of thromboembolic events of any grade (Peto OR = 1.49, P = 0.004) and not of high grade (Peto OR = 1.31; P = 0.13) compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS PARPi-based therapy is associated with a significantly increased risk of MACEs, hypertension, and thromboembolic events of any grade compared with controls. The lack of a significant increased risk of high-grade events together with the absolute low incidence of these adverse events led not to consider routine cardiovascular monitoring as recommended in asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
Genomics has greatly improved how patients with cancer are being treated; however, clinical-grade genomic biomarkers for chemotherapies are currently lacking. Using whole-genome analysis of 37 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with the chemotherapy trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI), we identified KRAS codon G12 (KRASG12) mutations as a potential biomarker of resistance. Next, we collected real-world data of 960 patients with mCRC receiving FTD/TPI and validated that KRASG12 mutations were significantly associated with poor survival, also in analyses restricted to the RAS/RAF mutant subgroup. We next analyzed the data of the global, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 RECOURSE trial (n = 800 patients) and found that KRASG12 mutations (n = 279) were predictive biomarkers for reduced overall survival (OS) benefit of FTD/TPI versus placebo (unadjusted interaction P = 0.0031, adjusted interaction P = 0.015). For patients with KRASG12 mutations in the RECOURSE trial, OS was not prolonged with FTD/TPI versus placebo (n = 279; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.73-1.20; P = 0.85). In contrast, patients with KRASG13 mutant tumors showed significantly improved OS with FTD/TPI versus placebo (n = 60; HR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.15-0.55; P < 0.001). In isogenic cell lines and patient-derived organoids, KRASG12 mutations were associated with increased resistance to FTD-based genotoxicity. In conclusion, these data show that KRASG12 mutations are biomarkers for reduced OS benefit of FTD/TPI treatment, with potential implications for approximately 28% of patients with mCRC under consideration for treatment with FTD/TPI. Furthermore, our data suggest that genomics-based precision medicine may be possible for a subset of chemotherapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer incidence is growing, but the prognosis for survival is still poor. Patients with pancreatic cancer often suffer from malnutrition and sarcopenia, two clinical conditions that negatively impact oncological clinical outcomes. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the impact of different nutritional interventions on clinical outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer during chemotherapy. METHODS A systematic review of MedLine, EMBASE, and Web of Science was carried out in December 2022, identifying 5704 articles. Titles and abstracts of all records were screened for eligibility based on inclusion criteria, and nine articles were included. RESULTS All nine articles included were prospective studies, but a meta-analysis could not be performed due to heterogenicity in nutritional intervention. This Systematic Review shows an improvement in Quality of Life, nutritional status, body composition, oral intake, and Karnofsky Performance Status, following nutritional interventions. CONCLUSIONS This Systematic Review in pancreatic cancer patients during chemotherapies does not allow one to draw firm conclusions. However, nutritional support in pancreatic cancer patients is advisable to ameliorate oncological care. Further well-designed prospective studies are needed to identify nutritional support's real impact and to establish a reliable way to improve nutritional status of pancreatic cancer patients during chemotherapy.

Abstract
148 Background: In RAS wt mCRC the use of maintenance therapy after induction with fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based cytotoxic therapy (CT) plus anti-EGFR agents is controversial. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare different maintenance strategies. Methods: PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase and oncological meeting websites were screened to identify eligible studies. Phase II-III randomized trials which enrolled patients with previously untreated RAS wt mCRC, who switched to a maintenance strategy after an induction of CT combined with an anti-EGFR agent were included. Maintenance strategies considered were: observation, single agent anti-EGFR or FP, FP + anti-EGFR, doublet CT + anti-EGFR. Outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety (grade 3-4 adverse events). Subgroup analyses were performed in BRAF wt patients and left sided tumors. The meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the posterior distributions. Strategies were ranked using the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) probabilities. Risk of bias was assessed with Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Results: Overall, 4207 records were screened and 10 trials were included in the analysis. Cumulative risk of bias was low-moderate. Maintenance therapy with FP + anti-EGFR (HR 0.56, 95% CrI 0.36-0.88) and doublet CT + anti-EGFR (HR 0.68, 95% CrI 0.46-1.01), showed the greatest PFS benefit compared to observation. On SUCRA analysis, FU + anti-EGFR had the highest likelihood of improving PFS (96.3%), compared to doublet CT + anti-EGFR (73.5%) or EGFR monotherapy (48.0%). In terms of OS, compared to observation, maintenance therapy with doublet CT + anti-EGFR (HR 0.51, 95% CrI 0.19-1.28), FU + anti-EGFR (HR 0.59, 95% CrI 0.19-1.68) or anti-EGFR monotherapy (HR 0.56, 95% CrI 0.24-1.34) yielded similar results. On SUCRA analysis probabilities were 78.3% with doublet CT + anti-EGFR, 64.5% with FP + anti-EGFR and 63.4% with anti-EGFR monotherapy. FP + anti-EGFR confirmed to be the best option in terms of PFS in BRAF wt patients (SUCRA: 96.3%) and left sided tumors (SUCRA: 89.6%). OS results in BRAF wt patients were consistent with the primary analysis. In left sided tumors, the OS benefit of adding CT seems limited compared to EGFR monotherapy. The addition of CT to anti-EGFR agents resulted in an increase of toxicity while FP monotherapy plus anti-EGFR showed a favourable safety profile compared to doublet CT + anti-EGFR. Conclusions: FP + anti-EGFR should be considered the best maintenance option in RAS wt mCRC in terms of PFS. Taking into account the similar OS performance of the different strategies, EGFR monotherapy could be considered, especially in left-sided tumors. Doublet CT + anti-EGFR, despite being effective, is limited by toxicities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show a tremendous activity in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but a consistent fraction of patients does not respond. Prognostic/predictive markers are needed. Despite previous investigations in other tumor types, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have not been well evaluated in patients with MSI-H cancers treated with ICIs. METHODS We conducted an international cohort study at tertiary cancer centers collecting clinic-pathological features from 331 patients with MSI-H mCRC treated with ICIs. Of note, the irAEs were summarized using a 'burden score' constructed in a way that the same score value could be obtained by cumulating many low-grade irAEs or few high-grade irAEs; as a result, the lower the burden the better. Clearly, the irAE burden is not a baseline information, thus it was modeled as a time-dependent variable in univariable and multivariable Cox models. RESULTS Among 331 patients, irAEs were reported in 144 (43.5%) patients. After a median follow-up time of 29.7 months, patients with higher burden of skin, endocrine and musculoskeletal irAEs (the latter two's effect was confirmed at multivariable analysis) had longer overall survival (OS), as opposed to gastrointestinal, pneumonitis, neurological, liver, renal and other irAEs, which showed an harmful effect. Similar results were observed for progression-free survival (PFS). Based on the results retrieved from organ-specific irAEs, 'aggregated' burden scores were developed to distinguish 'protective' (endocrine and musculoskeletal) and 'harmful' (gastrointestinal, pneumonitis, neurological, hepatic) irAEs showing prognostic effects on OS and PFS. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that not all irAEs could exert a protective effect on oncologic outcome. An easy-to-use model for ICIs toxicity (burden score of protective and harmful irAEs) may be used as surrogate marker of response.

Abstract
Background The introduction of multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTBs) for the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway of several oncological disease significantly ameliorated patients' outcomes. However, only few evidences are currently present on the potential impact of the MDTB on pancreatic cancer (PC) management. Aim of this study is to report how MDTB may influence PC diagnosis and treatment, with particular focus on PC resectability assessment and the correspondence between MDTB definition of resectability and intraoperative findings. Methods All patients with a proven or suspected diagnosis of PC discussed at the MDTB between 2018 and 2020 were included in the study. An evaluation of diagnosis, tumor response to oncological/radiation therapy and resectability before and after the MDTB was conducted. Moreover, a comparison between the MDTB resectability assessment and the intraoperative findings was performed. Results A total of 487 cases were included in the analysis: 228 (46.8%) for diagnosis evaluation, 75 (15.4%) for tumor response assessment after/during medical treatment, 184 (37.8%) for PC resectability assessment. As a whole, MDTB led to a change in treatment management in 89 cases (18.3%): 31/228 (13.6%) in the diagnosis group, 13/75 (17.3%) in the assessment of treatment response cohort and 45/184 (24.4%) in the PC resectability evaluation group. As a whole, 129 patients were given indication to surgery. Surgical resection was accomplished in 121 patients (93.7%), with a concordance rate of resectability between MDTB discussion and intraoperative findings of 91.5%. Concordance rate was 99% for resectable lesions and 64.3% for borderline PCs. Conclusions MDTB discussion consistently influences PC management, with significant variations in terms of diagnosis, tumor response assessment and resectability. In this last regard, MDTB discussion plays a key role, as demonstrated by the high concordance rate between MDTB resectability definition and intraoperative findings.

Abstract
Background Right- (R) and left-sided (L) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) exhibit different clinical and molecular features. Several retrospective analyses showed that survival benefit of anti-EGFR-based therapy is limited to RAS/BRAF wt L-sided mCRC patients. Few data are available about third-line anti-EGFR efficacy according to primary tumor site. Methods RAS/BRAF wt patients mCRC treated with third-line anti-EGFR-based therapy versus regorafenib or trifluridine/tipiracil (R/T) were retrospectively collected. The objective of the analysis was to compare treatment efficacy according to tumor site. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), response rate (RR) and toxicity. Results A total of 76 RAS/BRAF wt mCRC patients, treated with third-line anti-EGFR-based therapy or R/T, were enrolled. Of those, 19 (25%) patients had a R-sided tumor (9 patients received anti-EGFR treatment and 10 patients R/T) and 57 (75%) patients had a L-sided tumor (30 patients received anti-EGFR treatment and 27 patients R/T). A significant PFS [7.2 vs 3.6 months, HR 0.43 (95% CI 0.2-0.76), p= 0.004] and OS benefit [14.9 vs 10.9 months, HR 0.52 (95% CI 0.28-0.98), p= 0.045] in favor of anti-EGFR therapy vs R/T was observed in the L-sided tumor group. No difference in PFS and OS was observed in the R-sided tumor group. A significant interaction according to primary tumor site and third-line regimen was observed for PFS (p= 0.05). RR was significantly higher in L-sided patients treated with anti-EGFR vs R/T (43% vs. 0%; p <0.0001), no difference was observed in R-sided patients. At the multivariate analysis, third-line regimen was independently associated with PFS in L-sided patients. Conclusions Our results demonstrated a different benefit from third-line anti-EGFR-based therapy according to primary tumor site, confirming the role of L-sided tumor in predicting benefit from third-line anti-EGFR vs R/T. At the same time, no difference was observed in R-sided tumor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer (PC) represents an unfavorable prognosis condition, even in patients with resectable disease. The aim of this series was to investigate the role of treatment intensification with adjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) in radically resected PC patients. METHODS Data from PC patients who underwent radical surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), and CRT throughout a 20-year period were retrospectively collected. Actuarial local control (LC) and the overall survival (OS) were the primary endpoints, with disease-free survival and metastasis-free survival (MFS) representing secondary endpoints. RESULTS The analysis included 108 PC patients treated with adjuvant CRT and CT from January 2000 to August 2019. Median age was 66 years (range: 40-83), and all patients underwent radical surgical resection with adjuvant CT (88, 81.5%) plus concomitant CRT (101, 93.5%) or radiotherapy alone (7, 6.5%). The median dose delivered to the tumor bed was 50.4 Gy (range: 45-50.6 Gy), while median dose to regional lymphatic drainage stations was 39.6 Gy (range 39.6-45 Gy). Concomitant CT was a gemcitabine-based regimen in the vast majority of patients (87, 80.6%). Median follow-up time was 21 months; the 2- and 5-year LC rates were 75.8% and 59.1%, respectively. Perineural invasion at pathological assessment was found significantly associated with LC (p = 0.028). Median OS was 40 months with 2- and 5-year OS rates of 73.9% and 41.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of this series suggest to investigate the possible impact of adding adjuvant CRT to CT in PC patients. Timing and combination of modern CRT with new systemic therapies need to be further investigated to personalize therapy and optimize clinical advantages.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
According to the Italian National Statistical Institute, the 12-month probability of survival in the general population between 90 and 94 years-old is 26%. Pacemaker (PM) implantation is often an urgent and necessary intervention, but in these patients the benefit in terms of quality and duration of life is unclear.
Purpose
To analyze characteristics, outcome and factors associated with survival in patients who had turned 90 at the time of PM implant.
Methods
All the PM implants performed in patients ≥90 from 1/1/2019 to 12/31/2020 were analyzed. Clinical parameters, device characteristics and follow-up data were extrapolated from the SuitEstensa Ebit reporting system; the exitus was verified by analyzing data from the Regional Health System.
Results
During the study interval, among the 554 patients undergoing PM implantation in our Center, 69 (12%) were ≥90 years-old (mean age 92±2 years, 46% male; complete/advanced AV block in 76%). Twenty-six (38%) patients had history of atrial fibrillation and 19 (28%) ischemic heart disease. A cardiological co-morbidity (excluding AF) was present in 23 patients (33%). Oncological, pneumological and neurological comorbidities were present in 12 (18%), 19 (28%) and 32 (46%) respectively. Renal impairment was present in 25 patients (36%). In 47 patients (68%) there were at least 2 co-morbidities. After implantation (single-chamber in 36, dual-chamber in 25 and VDD single-lead dual-chamber in 8 patients) complications occurred in 3 patients (2 pneumothorax and 1 lead dislodgment). Remote monitoring was activated in 57 patients (83%).
Within August 31st 2021 (mean follow-up 288±193 days) 24 patients died (35%, 219±241 days after implant). Five patients (19% of patients implanted in 2019) died within 12 months. No patients died for device malfunction. Three patients died because of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Renal dysfunction (Hazard Ratio-HR 8.05, p=0.002) and the presence of 2 or more co-morbidities (HR 6.03; p=0.015) were associated with a higher risk of death at univariate analysis; other significant variables were diabetes (HR 2.34; p=0.038), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR 0.70 for 5% variation; p=0.005), walking impairment (HR 2.99, p=0.006), the presence of oncological (HR 2.21; p=0.003), pneumological (HR 2.55; p=0.024) and neurological (HR 1.90, p=0.007) comorbidities. At multivariable analysis the only significant parameter associated with survival was LVEF (0.76 for 5% difference; p=0.043)
Conclusions
At our Center, patients ≥90 years-old undergo PM implantation mainly for advanced AVB. The good survival in the medium term, even better than expected in the general population, does not justify a too conservative attitude especially, but exclusively, in patients with less comorbidities.

Abstract
Aim The aim of the current study is to investigate the impact of primary compared to secondary chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) prophylaxis with NK1 receptor antagonists (NK1-RA) in patients affected by gastrointestinal malignancies and treated with oxaliplatin- and/or irinotecan-based doublet or triplet regimens. Study design and methods Clinical data of patients affected by gastrointestinal malignancies, treated with an oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan-based doublet or triplet regimen as neo/adjuvant or advanced-line treatment, and who received NK1-RA as primary (from the first cycle of treatment) or secondary (after the onset of CINV with a previous regimen with 5HT3-RA and dexamethasone) prophylaxis for CINV, were retrospectively collected in an observational study involving 16 Italian centers. A propensity score matching was performed by taking into account the following stratification factors: sex (male vs. female), age (< vs. ≥70 years old), overweight (body mass index, BMI < vs. ≥25), underweight (BMI < vs. ≥19), disease spread (early vs. advanced/metastatic), tumor type (esophagogastric cancer vs. the rest, hepatobiliary tumor vs. the rest, colorectal cancer vs. the rest), type of NK1-RA used as primary/secondary prophylaxis (netupitant-palonosetron vs. fosaprepitant/aprepitant), concomitant use of opioids (yes vs. no), concomitant use of antidepressant/antipsychotic drugs (yes vs. no), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status at the start of NK1-RA treatment (0 vs. 1–2), and intensity of chemotherapy regimen (doublet vs. triplet). Results Among 409 patients included from January 2015 to January 2022 and eligible for analysis, 284 (69%) and 125 (31%) were treated with NK1-RA as primary and secondary antiemetic prophylaxis, respectively. After matching, primary NK1-RA use was not associated with higher rates of protection from emesis regardless the emesis phase (acute phase, p = 0.34; delayed phase, p = 0.14; overall phase, p = 0.80). On the other hand, a lower rate of relevant nausea (p = 0.02) and need for rescue antiemetic therapy (p = 0.000007) in the overall phase was found in primary NK1-RA users. Furthermore, a higher rate of both complete antiemetic response (p = 0.00001) and complete antiemetic protection (p = 0.00007) in the overall phase was more frequently observed in primary NK1-RA users. Finally, chemotherapy delays (p = 0.000009) and chemotherapy dose reductions (p = 0.0000006) were less frequently observed in primary NK1-RA users. Conclusion In patients affected by gastrointestinal malignancies, a primary CINV prophylaxis with NK1-RA, 5HT3-RA, and dexamethasone might be appropriate, particularly in those situations at higher risk of emesis and in which it is important to avoid dose delays and/or dose reductions, keeping a proper dose intensity of chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors yielded unprecedented outcomes in patients with mismatch repair deficient/ microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but clinical decision-making in this rapidly evolving treatment landscape is challenging. Since performance status (PS) represents a well-established prognostic factor in clinical practice, we investigated whether worse PS, overall or related to either patients' frailty or high tumour burden, could affect the outcomes in this whole patients' population and according to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment type. METHODS We conducted a global study at Tertiary Cancer Centres and collected data of patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC treated with anti- programmed-death (ligand)-1 (PD(L)-1) monotherapy or anti-PD-1/anti- cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 combination. RESULTS The cohort included 502 patients. At a median follow-up of 31.2 months, worse PFS and OS were reported in patients with patient-related PS ≥ 1 (adjusted-HRs: 1.73, 95%CI: 1.06-2.83, p = 0.004 and 2.06, 95%CI: 1.13-3.74, p = 0.001, respectively) and cancer-related PS ≥ 1 (adjusted-HRs: 1.61, 95%CI: 1.19-2.17, p = 0.004 and 1.87, 95%CI: 1.32-2.66, p = 0.001, respectively). Anti-PD-1/anti- cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 combination did not provide significantly better survival compared to anti-PD(L)-1 monotherapy in PS 0 subgroup (PFS HR = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.37-1.02, p = 0.059; OS HR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.32-1.11, p = 0.100) and in patient-related PS ≥ 1 (PFS HR 0.93, 95%CI: 0.31-2.83, p = 0.899; OS HR 1.22, 95%CI: 0.34-4.37, p = 0.760), but the difference was significant and clinically meaningful in the subgroup with cancer-related PS ≥ 1 (PFS HR = 0.32, 95%CI: 0.19-0.53, p < 0.001; OS HR = 0.26, 95%CI: 0.14-0.48, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC, an extensive evaluation of clinical variables including PS may be implemented in the therapy decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ampullary carcinomas (ACs) are classified as pancreatobiliary (Pb-AC), intestinal (Int-AC), or mixed (Mixed-AC). The influencing role of AC subtypes on long-term outcomes is still matter of debate. Aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic role of the three histological variants on the overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). METHODS All PDs for AC between 2004 and 2020 were included. Patients were classified according to the histological feature in Pb-AC, Int-AC, and Mixed-AC. Five-year OS and DFS were compared among the subtypes. Additionally, the prognostic role of the histological classification on OS and DFS was evaluated. RESULTS Fifty-six (48.7%) Pb-ACs, 53 (46.1%) Int-ACs, and 6 (5.2%) Mixed-ACs were evaluated. A poorer 5-year OS was evidenced for the Pb-AC group (54.1%) as compared to the Int-AC cohort (80.7%) (p = 0.03), but similar to the Mixed-AC population (33%) (p = 0.45). Pb-AC presented a worse 5-year DFS (42.3%) in comparison to the Int-AC (74.8%) (p = 0.002), while no difference was evidenced in comparison to the Mixed-AC (16.7%) (p = 0.51). At the multivariate analysis, the Pb-/Mixed-AC histotype was recognized as negative prognostic factor for both OS (OR: 2.29, CI: 1.05-4.98; p = 0.04) and DFS (OR: 2.17, CI: 1-4.33; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Histological subtypes of AC play a relevant role in long-term outcomes after PD. Pb-ACs and Mixed-ACs show a more aggressive tumor biology and a consequent worse survival as compared to the Int-AC subtype.

Abstract
e16142 Background: Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare tumor. Radical surgery is the only curative treatment for localized AA. The role of AT is not clearly defined and previous evidence in literature is poor and controversial. Hence, we retrospectively analyzed radically resected AA pts at our Institution, investigating the impact of AT on survival and the role of possible prognostic and/or predictive factors. Methods: Radically resected AA pts were retrospectively included in the analysis, divided into two groups: pts receiving AT and pts undergoing only postoperative observation (PO). The following variables were collected: gender; age (≤ 65 vs > 65 years); baseline ECOG PS (0 vs ³ 1); histologic subtype (pancreatobiliary vs intestinal); tumor stage (T1-2 vs T3-4); nodal status (N0 vs N+), margin status (R0 vs R+); radiotherapy (yes vs no), AT regimen [Gemcitabine (GMZ)-based vs fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based treatment)]. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the impact of AT on overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: From 2007 to 2021, a total of 69 pts with radically resected AA were identified: 41 (59%) pts received AT, 28 (41%) PO. The median age was 65 years (41-81), 42 (61%) were males, ECOG PS was ³ 1 in 45 (65%) pts. Tumor characteristics were: 31 (45%) pancreatobiliary, 26 (38%) intestinal, 9 (13%) mixed subtype and 3 (4%) not available; 41 (59%) pts had T3-T4 stage tumor; 34 (49%) were N+. Out of 41 pts receiving AT, 27 (66%) pts were treated with FP-based AT, 14 (34%) with GMZ-based AT; 16 (23%) pts received also RT. In the overall population, median OS was 59.8 months. At the univariate analysis, there was a statistically significant association of T status with OS (p 0.03), confirmed at multivariate analysis (p 0.03). Further variables (ECOG PS, AT, nodal status and histologic subtype) were not associated with survival. Among the 41 pts receiving AT, median OS was 58.7 months. At the univariate analysis, AT regimen was significantly associated with OS (p 0.02), and it was confirmed at the multivariate analysis. In particular, median OS was 59.8 and 28.3 months in pts receiving FP- and GMZ-based AT, respectively [HR 0.26, (95% CI: 0.09-0.78), p = 0.001]. Conclusions: Among pts with radically resected AA, AT, compared with PO, was not associated with a significant survival benefit. However, among pts receiving AT, FP-based regimen seems to significantly improve OS in comparison to GMZ-based regimen, independently of histologic subtype. Our findings, from a retrospective and limited case series, add to controversial literature data and miss to clarify the real impact of AT in radically resected AA pts. A randomized trial of AT vs PO would provide further information in this setting.

Abstract
3581 Background: The phase II randomized AtezoTRIBE study demonstrated that the addition of atezolizumab (atezo) to first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (bev) prolongs PFS of mCRC patients, but benefit is limited among patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) tumours. Among these patients, identifying a subgroup able to achieve benefit from immune-checkpoint inhibitors is a crucial challenge of translational research. To this end, we investigated the potential predictive role of an immunomodulatory gene expression signature (IO score), measuring the presence of infiltrating inflammatory cells and differentiated stromal microenvironment. Methods: AtezoTRIBE was a phase II comparative trial in which mCRC patients, unselected for MMR status, were randomized 1:2 to receive first-line FOLFOXIRI/bev (control arm) or FOLFOXIRI/bev/atezo (experimental arm). RNA was obtained from FFPE blocks of tumour specimens collected at baseline from 142 (65%) out of 218 enrolled patients. RT-qPCR was performed using DetermaIO™, to assess mRNA expression of a targeted panel of 27 genes. The established pan-cancer IO score and threshold were applied to dichotomize tumours as IO-positive (IO+) or IO-negative (IO-). Results: IO score was successfully determined in 122 (86%) cases, and 33 tumours were defined as IO+ (27%). No differences in terms of baseline clinical and molecular features were observed between IO+ and IO- tumours. Patients with IO+ and IO- tumours showed similar PFS (median PFS: 14.4 vs 13.6; HR 0.84 [95%CI: 0.53-1.33], p = 0.468). An interaction between IO status and treatment effect was reported (p for interaction = 0.066), with higher PFS benefit in favour of the experimental arm among patients with IO+ tumours (HR 0.39 [95% CI:0.15-1.02]) than among those with IO- tumours (HR 0.83 [95% CI 0.50-1.35]). A similar trend was observed in the pMMR subgroup (n = 110) (IO+ tumours: HR for PFS 0.47 [95% CI 0.18-1.25]; IO- tumours: HR for PFS 0.93 [95% CI 0.56-1.55]) (p for interaction = 0.139). No differences in terms of ORR were reported between arms according to the IO status. Conclusions: The investigated immunomodulatory signature (IO score) may be helpful to predict benefit from the addition of atezolizumab to first-line FOLFOXIRI/bev in metastatic colorectal cancer, also in the cohort of pMMR tumours. Our results support the hypothesis that a deeper characterization of tumour immune microenvironment may help identifying mCRC patients more likely to benefit from ICI-based therapeutic strategies. These findings are worthy of further investigation in independent cohorts.

Abstract
10587 Background: GMs in DDR genes, in particular BRCA1/2, are associated with increased risk of cancer, including PDAC. Their identification is crucial for the clinical relevance, the best treatment choice, and the family implications in cancer prevention. However, there are few data regarding the epidemiology and the prognostic role of DDR GMs in PDAC patients (pts). The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of DDR GMs, their correlation with clinicopathological features and their prognostic role. Methods: Unselected PDCA pts, assessed by BRCA1/2 GM analysis or multigenic panel at our Institution, were retrospectively analyzed. We divided the overall population into three groups based on GMs: pts with pathogenic variants (PVs), pts with variants of uncertain significance (VUS) and pts with no alterations. Clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment data were collected. The incidence of DDR GMs variants and their association with overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate analyses for OS were performed. Results: From September 2019 to August 2021, 200 PDAC pts were tested for DDR GMs: all pts were evaluated for BRCA 1/2; 140 pts were tested for further DDR GMs by a multigenic panel. Twenty-five pts (12.5%) had PVs, 45 (22.5%) pts had VUS and 130 (65%) pts had no GMs. BRCA 1-2 PVs were found in 10 pts (5%). Out of 91 pts with metastatic disease, the rate of PVs BRCA1/2 was 8.8%. Among 140 pts tested with multigenic panel, further PVs included: 7 (5%) ATM, 5 (3.6%) MUTYH, 1 (0.7%) TP53, 1 (0.7%) BARD1, and 1 (0.7%) MSH6. The most frequent VUS were: CHECK2 (5%), APC (3.6%), ATM (3.6%) and BRCA2 (3.6%). Regarding cancer family history, a statistically significant difference was reported between the 3 group (76% in PV pts, 82% in VUS pts and 60% in pts with no GMs; p 0.01). No difference was found concerning age (p 0.69), stage at diagnosis (p 0.31) and platinum-exposure (p 0.27). Out of 189 evaluable pts, median OS was 23 months. A significant difference in OS was observed in the 3 groups (30 months in PVs pts, 14 months in VUS pts and 24 months in pts with no GMs, p 0.0006). No factor, including the presence or the type of GMs, age, stage and family history, was significantly associated with OS at the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: In our study, we observed a high incidence of DDR GMs PV (12.5%), beyond BRCA 1/2, regardless of age, stage and family history. Despite retrospective nature of our analysis, small population, and single-institution evaluation, our findings confirm the importance of genetic testing for BRCA1/2 and, where available, of a multigenic test in all PDAC pts, due to the therapeutic implications and cancer risk prevention in patients relatives. The prognostic role of DDR GMs and the impact of VUS remain unclear.

Abstract
e13641 Background: The management of CRC is complex, particularly in metastatic disease, where it is crucial the definition of disease burden, the assessment of radiological response and the identification of the right timing for potential radical surgery or loco-regional treatments. A correct CRC evaluation and the subsequent choice of the most appropriate treatment strategy, need, therefore, a MDT involving surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, endoscopists, gastroenterologists and pathologists. Based on such considerations, we investigated the impact of the MDT meeting in the management of CRC at our Institution. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all the cases discussed at our MDT meeting between September 2019 and September 2021. We collected data, both pre- and post-MDT meeting, regarding radiology evaluation (disease control vs progression), surgical assessment (yes vs no) and radiotherapy evaluation (yes vs no). Primary endpoint was the overall rate of discrepancy in evaluation between pre- and post-MDT meeting. Results: Between September 2019 and September 2021, 696 cases were presented at our MDT meeting. The median age was 65 years (24-86), 391 (56%) patients were male and 553 (79%) patients had metastatic disease at diagnosis. After MDT meeting, a total of 214 decisions were modified, for an overall discrepancy rate of 31%. In particular, among 377 cases discussed for radiology evaluation, 110 decisions (29%) were modified after a central imaging review: 80 cases initially evaluated as progressed disease before MDT meeting were defined stable after MDT meeting, for a discrepancy rate of 73%. Regarding the 246 cases discussed for surgical assessment on primary tumor and/or metastatic sites, treatment strategy changed in 86 cases (35%). More specifically, 16 cases (19%), evaluated unresectable before MDT meeting, were then considered resectable after MDT meeting. Finally, among the 71 cases discussed for radiotherapy evaluation, treatment strategy changed in 18 cases (25%). Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrates a significant rate of discrepancy in radiology and/or surgical evaluation between pre- and post-MDT meeting. Our results show that a MDT allows a considerable modification in CRC management, maximizing the treatment strategy, in particular avoiding unnecessary changes in therapy and allowing surgery where possible.

Abstract
e16180 Background: The prognosis of advanced biliary tract cancers (ABTCs) is poor with a 5 year overall survival (OS) lower than 20%. The standard of care first-line chemotherapy is the combination of cisplatin plus gemcitabine. The efficacy of second-line treatment is supported by few evidence and only one randomized phase III clinical trial is reported. The ABC-06 trial showed a minimal improvement in overall survival with FOLFOX compared to active symptoms control (ASC). Herein, we provide a retrospective analysis of patients treated with second-line treatment at our Institution investigating the impact of treatment regimen and possible prognostic or predictive factors. Methods: ABTCs patients receiving second-line treatment following a first-line chemotherapy with cisplatin plus gemcitabine were included in the analysis. The following variables were collected: gender; age (< 65 years vs ≥ 65 years); baseline ECOG PS (0-1 vs ≥2); second-line regimen (FOLFIRI vs FOLFOX); comorbidities (yes vs no); number of comorbidities (0-1 vs ≥ 2); number of metastatic sites (1 vs ≥2). Univariate and multivariate analysis for progression free survival (PFS) and OS were performed. Results: Fifty-one patients affected with ABTCs receiving second-line treatment between January 2016 and May 2021 were included in the analysis. The median age was 70 years (38-82), 39% (20) were males, 70% (36) were aged ≥ 65 years, ECOG PS was 0-1 in 86% (44) of patients; 39% (20) had ≥2 comorbidities; 60% (31) had ≥ 2 metastatic sites. Second-line regimen included FOLFIRI (28; 55%), FOLFOX (15; 29%), capecitabine (2; 4%) and experimental drugs (6; 12%). The overall population median PFS and OS at second-line were 3.5 months (median follow-up 11.4 months) and 8.8 months (median follow-up 22.6 months), respectively. Two patients (4%) achieved a partial response and the disease control rate was 39%. At the univariate and multivariate analysis, no variable was associated with PFS. At the univariate analysis, second-line regimen FOLFIRI (p = 0.03) and single metastatic site (p = 0.06) were associated with improved OS; at the multivariate analysis only the second-line regimen was confirmed associated with OS (p = 0.02). In particular, out of 43 evaluable patients, the median OS according to treatment (FOLFIRI vs FOLFOX) was 11.3 months versus 5.4 months (p = 0.019, HR 0.46, 95% CI: 0.18-0.88). Conclusions: Despite the retrospective analysis and the limited sample size, we confirm the importance of second-line chemotherapy in ABTCs patients, when feasible. Our results show that the second-line FOLFIRI regimen after a platinum-containing fist-line, was independently associated with improved OS. Given that the ABC-06 trial compared FOLFOX to ASC, a randomized trial of FOLFOX vs FOLFIRI as second-line would provide further information in this setting.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common causes of death from cancer. Lung seeding occurs in approximately 10% of patients surgically treated for primary CRC with radical intent: the lung is the most common site of metastases after the liver. While surgical treatment of liver metastases is widely accepted to affect long-term outcomes, more controversial and not standardized is the therapy for CRC patients developing lung metastases. Experience suggests the potential curative role of pulmonary metastasectomy, especially in oligometastatic disease. However, the optimal strategy of care and the definition of prognostic factors after treatment still need to be defined. This review focused on the uncommon scenario of single pulmonary metastases from CRC. We explored pertinent literature and provide an overview of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and imaging of single pulmonary metastases from CRC. Additionally, we identified the best available evidence for overall management. In particular, we analyzed the role and results of locoregional approaches (surgery, radiotherapy or ablative procedures) and their integration with systemic therapy.

Abstract
This is a multicenter, single-arm phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of an immune-sensitizing strategy with temozolomide priming followed by a combination of low-dose ipilimumab and nivolumab in patients with microsatellite-stable (MSS) and O6-methylguanine–DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)–silenced metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). MAYA shows that temozolomide priming followed by Ipi/Nivo combo induces durable benefit in MSS/MGMT-silenced mCRC.![]()

Abstract
BackgroundDespite unprecedented benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR)/microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) advanced gastrointestinal cancers, a relevant proportion of patients shows primary resistance or short-term disease control. Since malignant effusions represent an immune-suppressed niche, we investigated whether peritoneal involvement with or without ascites is a poor prognostic factor in patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and gastric cancer (mGC) receiving ICIs.MethodsWe conducted a global multicohort study at Tertiary Cancer Centers and collected clinic-pathological data from a cohort of patients with dMMR/MSI-H mCRC treated with anti-PD-(L)1 ±anti-CTLA-4 agents at 12 institutions (developing set). A cohort of patients with dMMR/MSI-high mGC treated with anti-PD-1 agents±chemotherapy at five institutions was used as validating dataset.ResultsThe mCRC cohort included 502 patients. After a median follow-up of 31.2 months, patients without peritoneal metastases and those with peritoneal metastases and no ascites had similar outcomes (adjusted HR (aHR) 1.15, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.56 for progression-free survival (PFS); aHR 0.96, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.42 for overall survival (OS)), whereas inferior outcomes were observed in patients with peritoneal metastases and ascites (aHR 2.90, 95% CI 1.70 to 4.94; aHR 3.33, 95% CI 1.88 to 5.91) compared with patients without peritoneal involvement. The mGC cohort included 59 patients. After a median follow-up of 17.4 months, inferior PFS and OS were reported in patients with peritoneal metastases and ascites (aHR 3.83, 95% CI 1.68 to 8.72; aHR 3.44, 95% CI 1.39 to 8.53, respectively), but not in patients with only peritoneal metastases (aHR 1.87, 95% CI 0.64 to 5.46; aHR 2.15, 95% CI 0.64 to 7.27) when compared with patients without peritoneal involvement.ConclusionsPatients with dMMR/MSI-H gastrointestinal cancers with peritoneal metastases and ascites should be considered as a peculiar subgroup with highly unfavorable outcomes to current ICI-based therapies. Novel strategies to target the immune-suppressive niche in malignant effusions should be investigated, as well as next-generation ICIs or intraperitoneal approaches.

Abstract
Background Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) is the standard treatment modality in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Since response to radiotherapy (RT) is dose dependent in rectal cancer, dose escalation may lead to higher complete response rates. The possibility to predict patients who will achieve complete response (CR) is fundamental. Recently, an early tumour regression index (ERI) was introduced to predict pathological CR (pCR) after nCRT in LARC patients. The primary endpoints will be the increase of CR rate and the evaluation of feasibility of delta radiomics-based predictive MRI guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT) model. Methods Patients affected by LARC cT2-3, N0-2 or cT4 for anal sphincter involvement N0-2a, M0 without high risk features will be enrolled in the trial. Neoadjuvant CRT will be administered using MRgRT. The initial RT treatment will consist in delivering 55 Gy in 25 fractions on Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) plus the corresponding mesorectum and 45 Gy in 25 fractions on the drainage nodes. Chemotherapy with 5-fluoracil (5-FU) or oral capecitabine will be administered continuously. A 0.35 Tesla MRI will be acquired at simulation and every day during MRgRT. At fraction 10, ERI will be calculated: if ERI will be inferior than 13.1, the patient will continue the original treatment; if ERI will be higher than 13.1 the treatment plan will be reoptimized, intensifying the dose to the residual tumor at the 11th fraction to reach 60.1 Gy. At the end of nCRT instrumental examinations are to be performed in order to restage patients. In case of stable disease or progression, the patient will undergo surgery. In case of major or complete clinical response, conservative approaches may be chosen. Patients will be followed up to evaluate toxicity and quality of life. The number of cases to be enrolled will be 63: all the patients will be treated at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome. Discussion This clinical trial investigates the impact of RT dose escalation in poor responder LARC patients identified using ERI, with the aim of increasing the probability of CR and consequently an organ preservation benefit in this group of patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04815694 (25/03/2021).

Abstract
Background Few data regarding post-induction management following first-line anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-based doublet regimens in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are available. Methods This multicenter, retrospective study aimed at evaluating clinicians’ attitude, and the safety and effectiveness of post-induction strategies in consecutive patients affected by left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with doublet chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR as first-line regimen, who did not experience disease progression within 6 months from induction initiation, at 21 Italian and 1 Spanish Institutions. The measured clinical outcomes were: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), adverse events, and objective response rate (ORR). Results At the data cutoff, among 686 consecutive patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with doublet plus anti-EGFR as first-line regimen from March 2012 to October 2020, 355 eligible patients have been included in the present analysis. Among these, 118 (33.2%), 66 (18.6%), and 11 (3.1%) received a maintenance with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV)+anti-EGFR, anti-EGFR, and 5FU/LV, respectively, while 160 (45.1%) patients continued induction treatment (non-maintenance) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient decision, or completion of planned treatment. The median period of follow-up for the overall population was 33.7 months (95%CI = 28.9–35.6). The median PFS values of the 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR, anti-EGFR, 5FU/LV, and non-maintenance cohorts were 16.0 (95%CI = 14.3–17.7, 86 events), 13.0 (95%CI = 11.4–14.5, 56 events), 14.0 (95%CI = 8.1–20.0, 8 events), and 10.1 months (95%CI = 9.0–11.2, 136 events), respectively (p < 0.001). The median OS values were 39.6 (95%CI = 31.5–47.7, 43 events), 36.1 (95%CI = 31.6–40.7, 36 events), 39.5 (95%CI = 28.2–50.8, 4 events), and 25.1 months (95%CI = 22.6–27.6, 99 events), respectively (p < 0.001). After adjusting for key covariates, a statistically significant improvement in PFS in favor of 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR (HR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.44–0.77, p < 0.001) and anti-EGFR (HR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.51–0.98, p = 0.039) compared to the non-maintenance cohort was found. Compared to the non-maintenance cohort, OS was improved by 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR (HR = 0.55, 95%CI = 0.38–0.81, p = 0.002) and, with marginal significance, by anti-EGFR (HR = 0.67, 95%CI = 0.51–0.98, p = 0.051). No difference was found in ORR. Any grade non-hematological and hematological events were generally higher in the non-maintenance compared to the maintenance cohorts. Conclusion Among the treatment strategies following an anti-EGFR-based doublet first-line induction regimen in patients affected by left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated in a “real-life” setting, 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR resulted the most adopted, effective, and relatively safe regimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin toxicity in patients affected by metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is well known. However, ad hoc ESMO guidelines have only recently been published. AIM AND METHODS To describe the management (pre-emptive or reactive) of anti-EGFR-related cutaneous adverse events (AEs), in a real-life clinical context, in a selected population of patients with left-sided, metastatic RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with doublet chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (i.e., panitumumab or cetuximab) as first-line regimen at 22 Institutions. The measured clinical outcomes were treatment-related adverse events, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Of 515 patients included in the analysis, 173 (33.6%) received a pre-emptive and 342 (66.4%) a reactive treatment. The median follow-up period for the overall population was 30.0 months. A significantly lower incidence of any grade acneiform rash was found in the pre-emptive compared to the reactive cohort both in the overall population (78.6% vs 94.4%, p < 0.001) and in patients treated with panitumumab (76.1% vs 93.7%, p < 0.001) or cetuximab (83.3% vs 95.4%, p = 0.004), respectively. A lower incidence of any grade (41.6% vs 50.9%, p = 0.047) but a higher incidence of G3-G4 (9.2% vs 4.7%, p = 0.042) paronychia/nail disorders were found in the pre-emptive compared to the reactive cohort. Nevertheless, a lower rate of patients within the reactive compared to the pre-emptive cohort was referred to dermatological counseling (21.4% vs 15.3%, respectively, p = 0.001). A higher rate of anti-EGFR therapy modification was needed in the pre-emptive compared to the reactive cohort (35.9% vs 41.6%, respectively, p < 0.001). The pre-emptive approach did not reduce the efficacy of antineoplastic therapy compared to the reactive in terms of ORR (69.2% vs 72.8%), median PFS (12.3 vs 13.0 months), and median OS (28.8 vs 33.5 months). CONCLUSION Although recommended by international guidelines, the pre-emptive approach of anti-EGFR-related skin toxicity in mCRC patients still appears less adopted in daily clinical practice, compared to the reactive one. A wider reception and application of this indication is desirable to improve patients' quality of life without compromising the continuity and efficacy of antineoplastic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is unprecedented. A relevant proportion of subjects achieving durable disease control may be considered potentially 'cured', as opposed to patients experiencing primary ICI refractoriness or short-term clinical benefit. We developed and externally validated a nomogram to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and the time-independent event-free probability (EFP) in patients with MSI-high mCRC receiving ICIs. METHODS The PFS and EFP were estimated using a cure model fitted on a developing set of 163 patients and validated on a set of 146 patients with MSI-high mCRC receiving anti-programmed death (ligand)1 (PD-(L)1) ± anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) agents. A total of 23 putative prognostic factors were chosen and then selected using a random survival forest (RSF). The model performance in estimating PFS probability was evaluated by assessing calibration (internally-developing set and externally-validating set) and quantifying the discriminative ability (Harrell C index). RESULTS RFS selected five variables: ICI type (anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy vs anti-CTLA-4 combo), ECOG PS (0 vs >0), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (≤3 vs >3), platelet count, and prior treatment lines. As both in the developing and validation series most PFS events occurred within 12 months, this was chosen as cut-point for PFS prediction. The combination of the selected variables allowed estimation of the 12-month PFS (focused on patients with low chance of being cured) and the EFP (focused on patients likely to be event-free at a certain point of their follow-up). ICI type was significantly associated with disease control, as patients receiving the anti-CTLA-4-combination experienced the best outcomes. The calibration of PFS predictions was good both in the developing and validating sets. The median value of the EFP (46%) allowed segregation of two prognostic groups in both the developing (PFS HR=3.73, 95% CI 2.25 to 6.18; p<0.0001) and validating (PFS HR=1.86, 95% CI 1.07 to 3.23; p=0.0269) sets. CONCLUSIONS A nomogram based on five easily assessable variables including ICI treatment was built to estimate the outcomes of patients with MSI-high mCRC, with the potential to assist clinicians in their clinical practice. The web-based system 'MSI mCRC Cure' was released.

Abstract
Stratification of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients is mostly based on clinical and biological characteristics. This study aimed to validate the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT-based biomarkers such as baseline whole-body metabolically active tumor volume (WB-MATV) and early metabolic response (mR) in mCRC. Methods: The development cohort included chemorefractory mCRC patients enrolled in two prospective Belgian multicenter trials evaluating last-line treatments (multikinase inhibitors). The validation cohort included mCRC patients from an Italian center treated with chemotherapy and bevacizumab as first-line. Baseline WB-MATV was defined as the sum of metabolically active volumes of all target lesions identified on the baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT. Early metabolic response (mR) assessment was performed following usual response criteria (PERCIST-30%, PERCIST-15%, EORTC) and the so-called CONSIST method, which defines response as a decrease of SULmax ≥ 15% for all target lesions. Baseline WB-MATV and early mR assessment were investigated along with usual clinical factors and correlated with overall and progression-free survival (OS/PFS). Results: Clinical factors, baseline WB-MATV and early mR were evaluable in 192/239 and 94/125 patients of the development and validation cohorts, respectively. Except for PERCIST-30%, all response methods were equivalent in terms of outcome prediction and CONSIST was found to be the most accurate. Baseline WB-MATV and early mR using CONSIST method were independent prognostic parameters after adjustment for clinical factors in the development and validation sets for both OS (HR WB-MATV: 1.87 (1.17-2.97), P = 0.005, and HR early mR: 1.79 (1.08-2.95), P = 0.02 for the validation set), and PFS (HR WB-MATV: 1.94 (1.27-2.97), P = 0.002, and HR early mR: 1.69 (1.04-2.73), P = 0.03 for the validation set). Conclusion: Baseline WB-MATV and early mR are strong independent prognostic biomarkers for OS/PFS in mCRC, regardless of treatment received. Therefore, combining these biomarkers improves risk stratification for OS/PFS in mCRC.

Abstract
About 75% of colorectal cancers are diagnosed as early stage, in which radical surgery is achievable. In the last decade, in Italy, the overall incidence of colorectal cancer has remained stable, while mortality gradually decreased, which is attributable to early diagnosis and improved medical, surgical and locoregional treatments. The Italian Medical Oncology Association formulated guidelines to manage early-stage colon cancer, including screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, which we herein present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doublets plus antiepidermal growth factor receptors monoclonal antibodies (EGFRi) are widely considered the preferable first-line regimen in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), resulting superior in terms of activity and efficacy compared to doublets plus bevacizumab. However, data comparing doublet plus EGFRi and triplet plus bevacizumab are lacking, and the relative benefit of an intensive regimen plus an antiangiogenic backbone in this population is debated. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study aimed at evaluating clinicians' attitude to triplet-bevacizumab and doublet-EGFRi as first-line regimen in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated in clinical practice at 22 Oncology Units from March 2012 to October 2020. A random case-control matching was performed to compare activity (ORR), and effectiveness (PFS, OS, secondary resection rate of metastases with curative intent) between triplet-bevacizumab and doublet-EGFRi, on the basis of ECOG-PS, age, gender, and burden of disease. RESULTS A total of 718 patients were consecutively treated with doublet-EGFRi (686, 95.5%) or triplet-bevacizumab (32, 4.5%). After case-control matching, median PFS was 13.6 (95% CI, 8.9-31.7) and 16.1 (95% CI, 12.1-36.8) months (P= .621), while median OS was 30.2 (95% CI, 14.4-69.5) and 38.1 (95% CI, 33.1-101.1) months (P= .0283) in the doublet-EGFRi and the triplet-bevacizumab cohort, respectively. The ORR was 65.6% and 90.6% (P= .016), while the secondary resection rate was 18.8% and 46.9% (P= .016), in the doublet-EGFRi and the triplet-bevacizumab cohort, respectively. Triplet-bevacizumab was associated with a higher incidence of G3/G4 neutropenia (25.0% vs. 12.5%, P= .041). CONCLUSION Although a doublet-EGFRi remains the recommended upfront regimen in patients with left-sided RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC, our real life data suggest a triplet-bevacizumab might be at least equally active and effective in properly selected cases.
