RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Survival of patients affected by colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM) can be improved with combined complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Two chemotherapeutic agents are mainly used: mitomycin C (MMC) and oxaliplatin. A recent prospective randomized clinical trial showed that oxaliplatin-based HIPEC does not improve survival compared with CCRS alone. The purpose of our study was to compare the survival effectiveness of MMC versus oxaliplatin-based HIPEC using a homogeneous surgical technique and drug protocol. METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included all patients prospectively registered for having undergone CCRS and HIPEC using MMC or oxaliplatin for CRC-PM in Strasbourg University Hospital, France, from December 2004 until December 2019. MMC-based HIPEC and oxaliplatin-based HIPEC groups were compared with an inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients were included. Groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics except for peritoneal carcinomatosis index. In the weighted multivariate analysis, disease-free survival (DFS) and peritoneal disease-free survival (PDFS) were significantly higher in the MMC-based HIPEC group compared with the oxaliplatin-based HIPEC group with a hazard ratio of 0.74 (CI 95% 0.56-0.98), p = 0.035 and 0.59 (CI 95% 0.40-0.98), p = 0.0084, respectively. There was no difference in overall survival or postoperative morbidity between groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results favor a superiority of MMC for DFS and PDFS in comparison with oxaliplatin in HIPEC after CCRS in treatment with curative intent for CRC-PM.

AIM: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has proven valuable in locally advanced resectable colon cancer (CC) but its effect on oncological outcomes is uncertain. The aim of the present paper was to report 3-year oncological outcomes, representing the secondary endpoints of the PRODIGE 22 trial. METHOD: PRODIGE 22 was a randomized multicentre phase II trial in high-risk T3, T4 and/or N2 CC patients on CT scan. Patients were randomized between 6 months of adjuvant FOLFOX (upfront surgery) or perioperative FOLFOX (four cycles before surgery and eight cycles after; FOLFOX perioperative). In wild-type RAS patients, a third arm testing perioperative FOLFOX-cetuximab was added. The primary endpoint was the tumour regression grade. Secondary endpoints were 3-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and time to recurrence (TTR). RESULTS: Overall, 120 patients were enrolled. At interim analysis, the FOLFOX-cetuximab arm was stopped for futility. The remaining 104 patients represented our intention-to-treat population. In the perioperative group, 96% received the scheduled four neoadjuvant cycles and all but one had adjuvant FOLFOX for eight cycles. In the control arm, 38 (73%) patients received adjuvant FOLFOX. The median follow-up was 54.3 months. Three-year OS was 90.4% in both arms [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.85], 3-year DFS, RFS and TTR were, respectively, 76.8% and 69.2% (HR=0.94), 73% and 69.2% (HR = 0.86) and 82% and 72% (HR = 0.67) in the perioperative and control arms, respectively. Forest plots did not show any subgroup with significant difference for survival outcomes. No benefit from adding cetuximab was observed. CONCLUSION: Perioperative FOLFOX has no detrimental effect on long-term oncological outcomes and may be an option for some patients with locally advanced CC.

PURPOSE: Selection of patients for resection of synchronous liver metastases (LM) and peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a debated issue since morbidity of this surgery is not negligible. We aimed to define overall survival (OS) prognostic criteria in patients undergoing PC surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and LM resection. METHODS: This monocentric and comparative study included all consecutive patients operated for LM (LM group, n = 77), PC (HIPEC group, n = 18) and PC + LM (LM + HIPEC group, n = 9) from January 2007 to May 2011. Characteristics of the 3 groups were prospectively collected and retrospectively compared. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 56,5 months. Major morbidity and mortality were respectively 14% and 3%. Two-year disease free and overall survival rates were respectively 23% and 76%. There were significantly more Dindo grade III-IV complications in LM + HIPEC group. In multivariate analysis, grade II and III preoperative chemotherapy-induced toxicity and size of LM were identified as poor OS prognostic factors whereas response to preoperative chemotherapy significantly increases OS. OS was not different (p = 0.235) between the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: Toxicity to preoperative chemotherapy and size of LM were identified as poor prognostic factors in patients undergoing simultaneous PC and LM surgery. These criteria could help in better selecting patients for such extensive surgery.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an approach to overcome peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal adenocarcinoma. Mitomycin C (MMC) is frequently used but not devoid of toxicity, of which the most common and feared is neutropenia. Our study explores the clinical and surgical risk factors of neutropenia and a possible link between MMC pharmacokinetics and neutropenia as HIPEC's supervention. METHODS: A total of 45 patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin between 2004 and 2010 were followed. For each patient, MMC was measured in plasma at different times during HIPEC and the area under the MMC concentration-time curve (MMC-AUC) was calculated. RESULTS: The incidence of neutropenia was 40 %. No demographic, clinical, or surgical factors increased the risk of neutropenia. However, we found that the occurrence of neutropenia and its gravity increased in direct correlation with an increase in MMC plasma concentration 30 min (T30) and 45 min (T45) after the start of HIPEC. The same correlation was observed between the MMC-AUC and the risk of neutropenia. CONCLUSIONS: Neutropenia is a frequent complication associated with MMC-HIPEC. The results of our study indicate the feasibility and the potential benefit of a protocol including the MMC dosage at T30 after the start of HIPEC. A threshold of 572 µg/L gives a predictive sensitivity of 86 % and a specificity of 80 %. These results must be considered in the management of patients undergoing MMC-HIPEC in order to place high-risk patients under neutropenic monitoring while the other patients can undergo simple hematological monitoring.
