- Abstract
Simple Summary The location of the primary tumor in the right colon, left colon, or rectum affects the efficacy of biological drugs used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, but how? We examined how the primary tumor location affects disease characteristics, treatability, quality of life, and outcome in a real-life study population of 1080 Finnish patients in the RAXO study. The primary tumor location correlates with the location of metastases, the frequency of gene mutations, how often metastases can be operated upon, long-term survival after curative surgery or palliative chemotherapy, and the quality of life during the disease trajectory. The primary tumor location is a helpful surrogate for clinicians working with metastatic colorectal cancer patients in estimating the clinical course of the disease. This study cannot identify the reasons for the associations, i.e., whether it is the primary location per se, the different mutations, or other reasons.Abstract The primary tumor location (PTL) is associated with the phenotype, metastatic sites, mutations, and outcomes of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, but this has mostly been studied according to sidedness (right vs. left sided). We studied right colon vs. left colon vs. rectal PTL in a real-life study population (n = 1080). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed multi-cross-sectionally with QLQ-C30, QLQ-CR29, EQ-5D, and 15D. A chi-square, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression were used to compare the groups. The PTL was in the right colon in 310 patients (29%), the left colon in 396 patients (37%), and the rectum in 375 patients (35%). The PTL was associated with distinct differences in metastatic sites during the disease trajectory. The resectability, conversion, and resection rates were lowest in the right colon, followed by the rectum, and were highest in the left colon. Overall survival was shortest for right colon compared with left colon or rectal PTL (median 21 vs. 35 vs.

- Abstract
Older adults are underrepresented in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) studies and thus may not receive optimal treatment, especially not metastasectomies. The prospective Finnish real-life RAXO-study included 1086 any organ mCRC patients. We assessed repeated centralized resectability, overall survival (OS), and quality of life (QoL) using 15D and EORTC QLQ-C30/CR29. Older adults (>75 years; n = 181, 17%) had worse ECOG performance status than adults (<75 years, n = 905, 83%), and their metastases were less likely upfront resectable. The local hospitals underestimated resectability in 48% of older adults and in 34% of adults compared with the centralized multidisciplinary team (MDT) evaluation (p < 0.001). The older adults compared with adults were less likely to undergo curative-intent R0/1-resection (19% vs. 32%), but when resection was achieved, OS was not significantly different (HR 1.54 [CI 95% 0.9–2.6]; 5-year OS-rate 58% vs. 67%). ‘Systemic therapy only’ patients had no age-related survival differences. QoL was similar in older adults and adults during curative treatment phase (15D 0.882–0.959/0.872–0.907 [scale 0–1]; GHS 62–94/68–79 [scale 0–100], respectively). Complete curative-intent resection of mCRC leads to excellent survival and QoL even in older adults. Older adults with mCRC should be actively evaluated by a specialized MDT and offered surgical or local ablative treatment whenever possible.

- Abstract
Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is frequently monitored to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence after surgery. The clinical significance of transiently increased CEA during adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly understood. Serum CEA, CA19-9, CRP, YKL-40, and IL-6 were measured before, during, and after adjuvant 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in the randomised LIPSYT study population. The biomarker kinetic patterns were classified into three groups: no increase, a transient increase (≥10% increase followed by a decrease), and a persistent increase during the adjuvant treatment, and the associations of these patterns with disease free-survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were investigated by using Cox regression analyses. The findings were validated in two single-centre cohorts that received modern adjuvant chemotherapy. A transient increase in CEA occurred in about a half of the patients during chemotherapy, in all the cohorts. The patients with a transient increase had a roughly similar DFS and OS to the patients with no increase, and a more favourable survival compared to the patients with a persistent increase. In the LIPSYT cohort, the hazard ratio was 0.21 for DFS (CI95% 0.07–0.66) and 0.24 for OS (CI95% 0.08–0.76). Transient increases in CA19-9 and YKL-40 tended to be associated with a favourable survival. A transient increase in CEA during adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a favourable survival when compared with a persistent increase.

Kolorektaalisyöpä on kolmanneksi yleisin syöpä Suomessa ja aiheuttaa toiseksi eniten syöpäkuolemia. Kehittyneen seulonnan, parantuneiden hoitomenetelmien ja väestön ikääntymisen myötä kolorektaalisyöpään sairastuneiden määrä on noussut. Ainut parantava hoito kolorektaalisyövässä on kirurginen. Riippuen TNM- luokituksen perusteella tehtävästä uusimisriskiarviosta, osa potilaista ohjataan liitännäishoitoon ja osa suoraan seurantaan. Potilaita seurataan käyttäen kolonoskopiaa, tietokonetomografiaa ja CEA-merkkiainetta. Kolorektaalisyöpä kuitenkin uusiutuu n. 25 % niistä potilaista, joilla taudin arvioitiin alun perin olevan paikallinen. Tämä osoittaa, että nykyisillä seurantamenetelmillä ei kyetä tunnistamaan mahdollista jäännöstautia. Nykyisillä menetelmillä ei tunnisteta niitäkään potilaita, joiden uusimisriski jää edelleen koholle liitännäishoidon päätyttyä eikä toisaalta niitäkään, joilla uusiutuminen on epätodennäköistä. Potilailla, joilla tauti uusiutuu, pyritään parantavaan hoitotavoitteiseen, mikäli etäpesäkkeet voidaan leikata joko suoraan tai neoadjuvanttihoidon jälkeen. Mikäli etäpesäkkeet eivät ole leikattavissa, hoidon tavoite on etenemistä jarruttava ja sairaus johtaa kuolemaan. Kolorektaalisyöpä ja siihen kohdistuvat hoidot vaikuttavat potilaiden elämänlaatuun paitsi hoitojen aikana, myös niiden jälkeen, mikäli potilas parantuu. Ensimmäisessä osatyössä analysoitiin elämänlaatu poikittaistutkimuksena 444 levinnyttä suolistosyöpää sairastavalta potilaalta, jotka osallistuivat RAXO- tutkimuksen alatutkimukseen. Elämänlaatua mitattiin neljällä mittarilla: 15D, EQ- 5D-3L, QLQ-C30 ja QLQ-CR29. Elämänlaatu laski ohimenevästi etäpesäkekirurgiaan liittyen mutta oli korkealla tasolla kuratiivistavoitteisten hoitojen jälkeen ja oli samaa tasoa kuin ikä- ja sukupuolivakioidulla vertailuväestöllä. Elämänlaatu pysyi kohtuullisen hyvänä myös tautia jarruttavan systeemisen syöpälääkehoidon aikana ja putosi selvästi vasta oireenmukaisen hoidon vaiheessa. Merkittävimmät potilaiden elämänlaatuun vaikuttavat oireet olivat seksuaalisuuteen liittyvät tekijät, tihentynyt virtaamistarve, väsymys, ahdistuneisuus ja unettomuus. Toisessa ja kolmannessa osatyössä aineisto koostui 147 stage II-IV kolorektaalisyöpäpotilaasta, joita hoidettiin parantavalla hoitotavoitteella. Tutkimme seeruminäytteistä CRP, IL-6, ja YKL-40 jälkikäteen ja CEA ja CA19-9 osana rutiinihoitoa. Toisessa osatyössä kaikki 147 potilasta olivat mukana analyysissa, jossa tutkittiin kunkin merkkiaineen kohdalla sitä aikaa, joka kului merkkiaineen pitoisuuden noususta viirerajan yli taudin uusiutumisen toteamiseen. CEA:lla tämä aika oli 7.8 kuukautta, muilla tutkittavilla merkkiaineilla 10–53 kuukautta ja 27 kuukautta tutkittaessa, kun yksi tai useampi merkkiaine viidestä nousi yli viiterajan. Jatkoanalyysista poissuljettiin ne 12 potilasta, joilla syöpä uusiutui liitännäishoidon aikana. 135 potilasta oli mukana analyysissa, jossa todettiin, että liitännäishoidon jälkeen CEA, IL-6 ja CRP olivat merkitsevästi yhteydessä lyhentyneeseen tautivapaaseen elossaoloaikaan ja IL-6 ja CRP lisäksi kokonaiselossaoloaikaan. Niillä potilailla, joilla CEA pysyi viiterajan sisällä liitännäishoidon jälkeen mitattuna, koholla oleva IL-6 ainoana merkkiaineena oli monimuuttuja-analyysissa merkitsevä tekijä arvioitaessa tautivapaata elossaoloaikaa sekä kokonaiselinaikaa. Kolmannessa osatyössä tutkittiin samoilla potilailla edellä mainittujen merkkiaineiden kinetiikkaa liitännäishoidon aikana. Työssä todettiin, että niillä potilailla, joilla CEA nousi ohimenevästi liitännäishoidon aikana tai pysyi muuttumattomana, oli suotuisa ennuste verrattuna niihin potilaisiin, joilla CEA nousi jatkuvasti. Myös CA19-9:n ja YKL-40:n ohimenevillä nousuilla vaikutti olevan yhteyttä suotuisampaan ennusteeseen. Neljännessä osatyössä kuvattiin yhden potilaan syövän käyttäytymistä. Potilas rekrytoitiin tutkimukseen yhdessä 82 muun potilaan kanssa, jossa tutkittiin jäännöstaudin esiintyvyyttä parantavalla tavoitteella tehdyn primaarileikkauksen tai etäpesäkekirurgian jälkeen. Potilaan näytteistä tutkittiin syövän klonaalista heterogeenisyyttä, testattiin kiertävän kasvain-DNA:n soveltuvuutta monitoroimaan jäännöstaudin esiintyvyyttä sekä arvioitiin lääkeaineiden sensitiivisyys- ja resistenssitestausta viljeltyjen syöpäsolujen mallissa. Potilaalla todettiin MEK/MAPK signaalireitin aktivaatiota, mutta eri mutaatiot toimivat ajureina primaarinäytteessä ja etäpesäkkeissä. Kiertävä kasvain DNA-menetelmä osoitti potilaan veressä harvinaisen BRAFL597Q-mutaation, joka ennusti kliinisesti aggressiivisen metastaattisen taudin. Soluviljelmässä BRAFL597Q-mutatoituneet solut reagoivat MEK-/MAPK targetoiville syöpälääkehoidoille. Yhteenvetona voidaan todeta, että parantavalla hoitotavoitteella hoidettujen potilaiden elämänlaatu säilyy hyvänä aggressiivisesta hoitostrategiasta huolimatta myös etäpesäkekirurgian jälkeen. Yhdistelemällä useampia merkkiaineita, voidaan pidentää sitä aikaa, jonka avulla uusiutuma voidaan havaita primaarileikkauksen jälkeen jo selvästi ennen kuvantamista. Lisäksi liitännäishoidon jälkeinen koholla oleva IL-6 auttaa tunnistamaan potilaita, joilla on kohonnut uusiutumisriski ja toisaalta ohimenevä CEA-arvon nousu liitännäishoidon aikana ei ole merkki huonontuneesta, vaan ennemminkin paremmasta ennusteesta. Lisäksi totesimme, että BRAFL597Q-mutaation-mutaatio saattaa liittyä kolorektaalisyövässä kasvaintaudin aggressiiviseen käyttäytymiseen. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and ranks second in mortality. Early detection, improved treatments, and increases in the age of the population have led to a rising prevalence of patients living with a diagnosis of CRC in the Western world. The only curative treatment for CRC is surgery. According to recurrence risk based on tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) classification, CRC patients resected with curative intent are referred for follow-up or adjuvant chemotherapy. Follow-up is accomplished via colonoscopy, computed tomography (CT), and measuring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the patient´s blood. About 25% of patients with local disease will have a recurrence within 5 years, indicating misdetection of residual disease. Some patients with high-risk disease will have a recurrence despite adjuvant therapy and there is still no method in clinical use for detection of residual disease associated with primary resistance to therapy or in those patients with a low risk for recurrence. Patients with recurrent disease are treated with curative intent, whenever possible, with metastasectomy with or without neoadjuvant treatment. Patients with unresectable disease are treated with non- curative systemic treatment. The cancer and its treatments affect the patient’s health- related quality of life (HRQoL) during the treatment trajectory and in the remission phase if the patient is cured. Study I included 444 patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) participating in the RAXO substudy. The study evaluated HRQoL cross-sectionally using four validated measures: 15D, EQ-5D-3L, QLQ-C30, and QLQ-CR29. HRQoL declined transiently in conjunction with metastasectomy but was high after curative treatment, similar to that seen in the general population. HRQoL was also high during non-curative treatment phases from first- to later-line treatments but clearly declined in the best supportive care (BSC) phase. The most frequent symptoms during treatment trajectory included sexual aspects, urinary frequency, fatigue, distress, and insomnia. Studies II and III included patients from the LIPSYT study with 147 CRC patients treated with curative intent. We measured CEA, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as part of clinical routine, and interleukin 6 (IL-6), and YKL-40 post hoc. All patients were included in lead-time analysis between the elevated biomarker and radiological relapse. CEA had a lead time of 7.8 months, other markers investigated had lead times from 10 to 53 months and the lead time for all five markers combined was 27 months. In further analysis, 12 patients relapsing during adjuvant treatment were excluded. A total of 135 patients were included in an analysis that showed that elevated post-adjuvant CEA, IL-6, and CRP were associated with impaired disease-free survival (DFS), and IL-6 and CRP were also associated with impaired overall survival (OS). Elevated post-adjuvant IL-6 associated significantly with outcome in a multivariate analysis investigating patients with normal CEA values. The same LIPSYT study population was used to investigate the kinetics of the abovementioned five biomarkers during adjuvant treatment. An association between a transient increase in CEA level during adjuvant treatment and improved outcome was noted compared to those patients with constantly increasing CEA levels. Patients with a transient increase in CEA had roughly similar DFS and OS when compared to patients with stable CEA levels. Similar trends were observed with CA19-9 and YKL-40. Study IV described a patient history from the FINCRC study that recruited 82 CRC patients to investigate molecular residual disease after primary tumour resection or metastasectomy. Repeated circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) measurements demonstrated clonal heterogeneity in tumour samples and revealed residual disease resistant to administered therapy. Drug sensitivity and resistance testing (DSRT) was used in a patient-derived organoid model to evaluate possible treatments. Patient samples exhibited MEK/MAPK signal cascade activation but differing driver mutations in the primary tumour and in metastases. A rise in a rare BRAFL597Q ctDNA in blood samples heralded a rise in a clinically aggressive recurrence during adjuvant treatment. In the organoid model, BRAFL597Q-mutated cells were sensitive to MEK/MAPK-targeted therapies. In conclusion, HRQoL remains high during and after aggressive treatment strategy in mCRC patients treated with metastasectomy. By combining several biomarkers, the lead time before recurrence revealed by a biomarker increase can be clearly prolonged before radiological relapse. Elevated IL-6 after adjuvant treatment helps in identification of the elevated risk of relapse and, in turn, a transient increase in CEA level is a sign of improved prognosis. We also found that BRAFL597Q-mutated CRC may be related to aggressive disease.

- Abstract
Background: Resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases provides good survival but is probably underused in real-world practice. Methods: A prospective Finnish nationwide study enrolled treatable metastatic CRC patients. The intervention was the assessment of resectability upfront and twice during first-line therapy by the multidisciplinary team (MDT) at Helsinki tertiary referral centre. The primary outcome was resection rates and survival. Findings: In 2012-2018, 1086 patients were included. Median follow-up was 58 months. Multiple metastatic sites were present in 500 (46%) patients at baseline and in 820 (76%) during disease trajectory. In MDT assessments, 447 (41%) were classified as resectable, 310 (29%) upfront and 137 (18%) after conversion therapy. Sixhundred and ninety curative intent resections or local ablative therapies (LAT) were performed in 399 patients (89% of 447 resectable). Multiple metastasectomies for multisite or later developing metastases were performed in 148 (37%) patients. Overall, 414 liver, 112 lung, 57 peritoneal, and 107 other metastasectomies were performed. Median OS was 80.4 months in R0/1-resected (HR 0.15; CI95% 0.12-0.19), 39.1 months in R2-resected/LAT (0.39; 0.29-0.53) patients, and 20.8 months in patients treated with "systemic therapy alone" (reference), with 5-year OS rates of 66%, 40%, and 6%, respectively. Interpretation: Repeated centralized MDT assessment in real-world metastatic CRC patients generates high resectability (41%) and resection rates (37%) with impressive survival, even when multisite metastases are present or develop later.

- Abstract
In colorectal cancer (CRC), 20–50% of patients relapse after curative-intent surgery with or without adjuvant therapy. We investigated the lead times and prognostic value of post-adjuvant (8 months from randomisation to adjuvant treatment) serum CEA, CA19-9, IL-6, CRP, and YKL-40. We included 147 radically resected stage II–IV CRC treated with 24 weeks of adjuvant 5-fluorouracilbased chemotherapy in the phase III LIPSYT-study (ISRCTN98405441). All 147 were included in lead time analysis, but 12 relapsing during adjuvant therapy were excluded from post-adjuvant analysis. Elevated post-adjuvant CEA, IL-6, and CRP were associated with impaired disease-free survival (DFS) with hazard ratio (HR) 5.21 (95% confidence interval 2.32–11.69); 3.72 (1.99–6.95); 2.58 (1.18–5.61), respectively, and elevated IL-6 and CRP with impaired overall survival (OS) HR 3.06 (1.64–5.73); 3.41 (1.55–7.49), respectively. Elevated post-adjuvant IL-6 in CEA-normal patients identified a subgroup with impaired DFS. HR 3.12 (1.38–7.04) and OS, HR 3.20 (1.39–7.37). The lead times between the elevated biomarker and radiological relapse were 7.8 months for CEA and 10.0–53.1 months for CA19-9, IL-6, CRP, and YKL-40, and the lead time for the five combined was 27.3 months. Elevated post-adjuvant CEA, IL-6, and CRP were associated with impaired DFS. The lead time was shortest for CEA.

- Abstract
Introduction: Treatment decisions are challenging in older adults with solid tumors. Geriatric 8 (G8)-screening and comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) are important but additional methods are needed. We examined the association of computed tomography (CT)-derived high visceral adipose tissue index (VATI) with or without low skeletal muscle index (SMI) on three-month and overall survival (OS)., Materials and Methods: Vulnerability was evaluated with G8 in patients ≥75 years referred for systemic anticancer treatment. Vulnerable/frail patients (G8 ≤ 14) received CGA and were included. VATI and SMI were retrospectively measured from CT scans. We examined associations between high VATI with or without low SMI and three-month and OS with Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier estimation., Results: Seventy-nine patients with median age of 80 (range 75-91) years were evaluated. In the palliative-intent group (n = 58), three-month OS rates were 88 % and 58 % in the normal and high VATI groups, respectively (hazard ratio 4.3; 95 % confidence interval 1.3-14), and 88 % vs. 47 % in group without and with 'high VATI+low SMI', respectively (5.5; 1.9-17). The median OS was 12.7 vs. 9.5 months in normal VATI/SMI and 'high VATI+low SMI' (1.9; 1.1-3.2), respectively. In Cox multivariable models with established predictive factors (ECOG PS, Clinical Frailty Scale, and sex), only high VATI (4.9; 1.0-24) or 'high VATI+low SMI' (8.9; 1.7-46) remained significant predictors of three-month OS., Discussion: High VATI with or without low SMI were associated with impaired three-month OS in the palliative-intent group and with OS in the whole cohort independently of oncologic and geriatric functional status measures; thus, they may aid in treatment decision-making., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.

- Abstract
Background: Resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases provides good survival but is probably underused in real-world practice., Methods: A prospective Finnish nationwide study enrolled treatable metastatic CRC patients. The intervention was the assessment of resectability upfront and twice during first-line therapy by the multidisciplinary team (MDT) at Helsinki tertiary referral centre. The primary outcome was resection rates and survival., Findings: In 2012-2018, 1086 patients were included. Median follow-up was 58 months. Multiple metastatic sites were present in 500 (46%) patients at baseline and in 820 (76%) during disease trajectory. In MDT assessments, 447 (41%) were classified as resectable, 310 (29%) upfront and 137 (18%) after conversion therapy. Six-hundred and ninety curative intent resections or local ablative therapies (LAT) were performed in 399 patients (89% of 447 resectable). Multiple metastasectomies for multisite or later developing metastases were performed in 148 (37%) patients. Overall, 414 liver, 112 lung, 57 peritoneal, and 107 other metastasectomies were performed. Median OS was 80·4 months in R0/1-resected (HR 0·15; CI
95% 0·12-0·19), 39·1 months in R2-resected/LAT (0·39; 0·29-0·53) patients, and 20·8 months in patients treated with "systemic therapy alone" (reference), with 5-year OS rates of 66%, 40%, and 6%, respectively., Interpretation: Repeated centralized MDT assessment in real-world metastatic CRC patients generates high resectability (41%) and resection rates (37%) with impressive survival, even when multisite metastases are present or develop later., Funding: The funders had no role in the study design, analysis, and interpretation of the data or writing of this report., Competing Interests: All authors report institutional research funding from Eli Lilly, Merck KGaA, Roche Finland, Sanofi and unrestricted grants from Amgen and Servier, during the conduct of the study.
