Perioperative chemotherapy in patients with resected CRLM improved disease-free survival (DFS) but did not show a benefit in overall survival (OS). Further research is needed to determine the optimal regimen and sequencing of perioperative chemotherapy.
Background: Nearly half of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. Radical resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) offers the best chance of cure, significantly improving 5-year survival. Recurrence of metastatic disease is common, occurring in 60 % or more of patients. Clinical equipoise exists regarding the role of perioperative chemotherapy in patients with resected CRLM. This investigation sought to clarify the efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy in patients that have undergone curative-intent resection of CRLM. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was completed of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing perioperative chemotherapy to surgery alone in patients with resected CRLM. MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched, as well as abstracts from recent oncology conferences. A meta-analysis was performed pooling the hazard ratios for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), using a random-effects model. Results: A total of five, phase 3, open-label, RCTs were included resulting in a pooled analysis of 1119 of the total 1146 enrolled patients. 559 patients were randomized to perioperative chemotherapy and 560 to surgery alone. Pooled estimates demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in DFS (HR 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.61-0.82; p < 0.001) but not OS (HR 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.73-1.04; p = 0.136). Conclusion: Perioperative chemotherapy in the setting of resected CRLM resulted in an improvement in DFS, however this did not translate into an OS benefit. Poor compliance to post-hepatectomy oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens was identified. Further investigation into the optimal regimen and sequencing of perioperative chemotherapy is justified.
