A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing neoadjuvant treatment strategies for stage II and III rectal cancer

Constantinos Simillis et al.

Summary: This systematic literature review investigated and compared the neoadjuvant therapy strategies for stage II and III rectal cancer. The study found that conventional neoadjuvant therapies with short-course radiation or long-course chemoradiotherapy have oncological benefits without increasing perioperative complication rates. Prolonged wait to surgery may improve oncological outcomes. Total neoadjuvant therapies provide additional benefits in terms of complete response, positive resection margins, and disease-free survival. Monoclonal antibody therapy may further improve oncological outcomes but currently is only applicable to a small subgroup of patients and requires further validation.

Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: ASCO Guideline

Van K. Morris et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to develop treatment recommendations for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). An Expert Panel convened by ASCO conducted a systematic review of relevant studies and developed recommendations for clinical practice. Based on the inclusion criteria, five systematic reviews and ten randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis. The recommendations include offering doublet chemotherapy or triplet therapy to previously untreated mCRC patients who are initially unresectable, based on studies of chemotherapy combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibodies. Pembrolizumab is recommended for first-line treatment of mCRC patients with microsatellite instability-high or deficient mismatch repair tumors. Chemotherapy and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy are recommended for microsatellite stable or proficient mismatch repair left-sided treatment-naive RAS wild-type mCRC, while chemotherapy and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy are recommended for microsatellite stable or proficient mismatch repair RAS wild-type right-sided mCRC. Encorafenib plus cetuximab is recommended for previously treated BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC patients who have progressed after one previous line of therapy. Other recommendations are provided for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases, liver metastases, and candidates for potentially curative resection of liver metastases. Multidisciplinary team management and shared decision making are also recommended.

Colonic stenting for malignant obstructions-A review of current indications and outcomes

Amelie Lueders et al.

Summary: Colonic stenting is the preferred palliative treatment for left sided malignant obstructions, which can shorten hospital stays, decrease healthcare cost, reduce permanent stoma rates, and expedite the start of chemotherapy. However, its role as a bridge-to-surgery remains uncertain. Stenting carries certain risks, including the risk of technical or clinical failure and the complications that may arise from perforations.

Summary: This qualitative study explores the experiences and views of patients and clinicians in the management of colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. The study reveals that patients value their first consultation and perceive a sufficient level of autonomy in decision making. Patients generally prefer synchronous surgery but understand the associated risks. Clinicians acknowledge limited evidence for decision making and consider trials of treatment sequencing unfeasible.

Clinicopathological characteristics of high microsatellite instability/mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer: A narrative review

Summary: Colorectal cancers with high microsatellite instability and deficient mismatch repair have different characteristics compared to normal CRC, but the testing rates for MSI and MMR remain low in clinical practice. Insufficient testing fails to identify patients with these types of CRC who could benefit from immunotherapy. Understanding the importance of MMR/MSI status in the clinical characteristics and prognosis of CRC may help improve testing rates and guide the development of more effective therapies.

Impact of Preoperative Chemotherapy Features on Patient Outcomes after Hepatectomy for Initially Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases: A LiverMetSurvey Analysis

Summary: This study investigated the impact of preoperative systemic anticancer therapy (PO-SACT) features on outcomes in patients with initially-irresectable colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The results showed that a shorter duration of PO-SACT was associated with longer overall survival, regardless of other prognostic factors. The study also supported the recommendation of performing liver surgery as soon as possible after response to PO-SACT in patients with initially irresectable CLM. The choice of PO-SACT regimen had little or no impact on outcomes when resection was achieved.

Summary: The development of new systemic treatment strategies has significantly improved the response rates of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in recent years. However, the complete shrinkage of liver metastases (DLM) presents a therapeutic dilemma and proper management is still debated. DLM does not necessarily mean cure, as pathological examination often reveals residual disease or early recurrence. A multidisciplinary approach, particularly involving radiologists, is needed to assist surgeons in managing DLM.
