ADJUVANT THERAPY OF COLORECTAL CANCER

2017: A STILL VALID CONCEPT IN THE
GENERAL POPULATION
«..the addition of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with regional (node-positive) disease has been demonstrated to reduce longer-term mortality…»
Welch GH and Robertson DJ: Colorectal cancer on the decline-Why screening
can’t explain it all. NEJM, April 28, 2016
Colon Cancer: stage II
In clinical practice: stage II patients will continue to receive adjuvant CT only if “high-risk”, according to clinic-pathological criteria Fluoropyrimidine alone for 6 months is still the standard of care (duration data conflicting/not yet mature: TOSCA vs SCOT, ASCO 2017) Recently emerging biological criteria: 2016: CDX2 , Immunoscore, circulating DNA… 2017: MSI, sidedness… Any of them ready for prime time ? NOT YET
Colon Cancer: stage III
• T1-3 N1: CAPOX (FOLFOX) for 3 months can be a new standard of care based on IDEA analysis (Shi et al, LB abstr # 1, ASCO 2017), with less neurotoxicity
• T 4 and/or N2: FOLFOX (CAPOX) for 6 months will remain the standard treatment for patients up to 70 (75) years
• In elderly patients: fluoropyrimidine alone for 6 months is still an acceptable choice

Presented By Jeffrey Meyerhardt at 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting
• Lifestyle intervention (diet, physical exercise, smoking cessation…) YES
• Aspirin PROBABLY YES (increasing evidence in 2017)
• Immunotherapy TO BE ASSESSED (ALLIANCE/AIO trial…)
• Other interventions TO BE IDENTIFIED
• Increasing need of international collaboration (IDEA, ACCENT, PETACC re-loaded…)
Colon Cancer: new avenues
In preoperative setting: fluoropyrimidine alone (capecitabine or 5FU) will remain the standard, without a clear role for oxaliplatin (STAR, ASCO 2016) In postoperative setting: adjuvant chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine + oxaliplatin) will be more frequently used in clinical practice (see also: Expert Discussion at WCG IC 2015) Through better neoadjuvant treatment: more sphincter saving surgery Biological/genomic characterization: not ready for use Avoiding surgery: still matter of research

Surgical progress in the treatment of colon and rectal cancers
Bernard Nordlinger, Paris
• Laparoscopic colon and rectal resections • One port surgery • Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery
(NOTES) • Transanal TME ( Total Mesorectal Excision) • NOTES • TEM : Transanal Microscopic Microsurgery
Laparoscopic resection of colon cancer
• Has become the reference treatment: - less operative morbidity than open surgery - shorter hospital stay - faster restoration of bowel function - similar oncologic results • But technically demanding
• Whatever the approach the most important is to do adequate TME
• Randomized trials: Lancet 2002; N. Engl. J. Med. 2004; J. Clin. Oncol.2007; Lancet Oncol 2009.
Laparoscopic surgery: rectal cancer
- shorter hospital stay (8 vs 9 days)*
- faster restoration of bowel function (2vs3d)*
- similar operative morbidity*
- similar oncologic long term results: COLOR II * COREAN**
Single port laparoscopy for colon resection
• Shorter incision* ** • Similar duration of surgery, hospital stay , restoration of
bowel function, • Similar operative morbidity**
* Maggiori et al. Review colorectal disease 2012; **Watanabe Randomized study BJS 2016
Surgery without scars Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery ( NOTES ) *
• Transvaginal, transrectal
• Colon resections
• Mostly benign diseases
• 3% required addition of percutaneous trocarts
• 3% operative complications
• 12% post operative morbidity
• 4% conversion rate to open or laparoscopy
German Notes registry 139 pts. Bulian et al. Int. J Colorectal Dis. 2014
TRANS ANAL TME
From L. Maggiori
Transanal TME
• Mesorectum is dissected from the transanal approach + laparoscopic approach
• Technically demanding to find the correct plan for intact mesorectum excision
• Similar intestinal aud urinary function, trend better sexual function*
• Ongoing trials: GRECCAR 11, COLOR 3
Pontallier et al
TEM : Transanal Microscopic Microsurgery
• Local resection: for adenomass or pTis or
pT1 sm1 adenocarcinoma
• TEM superior to transanal resection without microscope; fewer tumor fragmentation and better resection margins*
*Moore, Dis. Colon Rectum. 2008
Message
• Recent progress in surgery improve the tolerance to surgery and in some cases the quality of resection
• Are technically demanding
• Never compromise the quality of cancer resection, and TME in particular.

14th ESO Colorectal Cancer Observatory: Innovation and care in the next 12 months
The patient‘s point of view
Nobody is sick just by him- / herself
A successful therapy does not target just
a disease rather than holistically a human being
Nobody is sick just by him- / herself
• Spouse / partner
• Family
• Friends
• and so on……
All of these are contracting problems in one way or the other
Coming down with cancer has a tremendous mental impact
• Hopelessness
• Feeling of entrapment, threat
• ……………..
• Loss of self-esteem in particular - when it comes to annoyance in partnership caused by sexual disorders - in times when nearness is notably looked for
Sexual disorders and cancer
Coherency can arise from:
• Side effects of CTx
• Side effects of surgical intervention
Resulting in:
• Loss of libido
• Loss of sensitivity
• Erectile dysfunction
A successful therapy does not target just a disease but holistically a human being
Are sexual disorders generally discussed between doctors and patients? Yes No Don‘t know When addressed by the patient
Are patients likely to deal with the topic? * Yes No Don‘t know When addressed by the doctor
* (men rather not at all)
A successful therapy does not target just a disease but holistically a human being
Sorry doctor – it’s your turn: • The surgeon in a pre-operative informative conversation • The oncologist in a pre-therapy informative conversation • The oncologist in the course of CTx • The oncologist when realizing coping problems Obviously the brunt is left to the oncologist – who otherwise is not suspected for running idle Who can help out?
A successful therapy does not target just a disease but holistically a human being
Who can help out?
• Psycho-oncologists
• Urologists (optimally with andrology qualification)
• Nurses
• Patient organizations & groups (Europe wide survey on unmet patient needs by EuropaColon)
• Public health counselling
These disciplines together with oncologists are typically co-operating in Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCC), (however to which extent throughout Europe????)
A successful therapy does not target just a disease but holistically a human being
Only a multi-discipline combination of therapy can help patients to:
• Regaining self-esteem and confidence
• Generating resilience
• Developing coping strategies
• Activating self healing effects
• Adding to QoL

The four ways to assess OS benefit
MST = median survival time; pts = patients

Data derived from comparative research:
1. Priority: Strong level of evidence from large phase III studies
2. Careful analyses “control arm” and identification of endpoints.
3. Subgroup analysis
– preplanned in ESMO-MCBS when ≤ 3 subgroups defined «a priori»: benefit in a subgroup for the primary endpoint can be «scaled», provided adjusted for multiple comparisons

1.0
a. More than one outcome may be applicable
b. For a required HR, not the point estimate but the lower limit of the 95% CI is used to take into account the variability of the estimate
Example: for threshold set at HR ≤ 0.70
it is the lower limit of the 95%CI which has to be ≤ 0.70

The ESMO MCBS: Statistical rules
Check for:
• indicators of severe toxicity or reduced grade 3-4 toxicity that bothers patients
• global QoL advantage using validated scale
quality of life
toxicity
Report final adjusted grade taken into account toxicity
and QoL when applicable

Implementation ESMO-MCBS scale June 2017
Information based on:
• Questionnaire of ESMO-members about implementation of the scale
• Interviews of people
• asking ESMO for information
• with known expertise with regards to implementation
• Publications
• Near future questionnaire for research funders, Commission, ministries, regulatory bodies
The ESMO MCBS: Implementation and adjustment Implementation ESMO-MCBS by:
1. ESMO organisation
2. Doctors to make decisions for individual patients
3. Teachers
4. Academic groups
5. Industry
6. Organisations and country(s) using the scale as a policy tool
7. Groups looking to application in other settings
