Anti-EGFR in Adjuvant ttt of Stage III Colon Cancer: • Study Duration: 11/05 11/11. • DFS, OAS & Safety. • FOLFOX4+Cetuximab vs FOLFOX4. • ??
Stage II Disease: Stage II Stage II Stage II Stage II Stage II Stage III Stage III Stage III Stage II Stage III
Issues to Be Considered: • 75 – 80% are cured with surgery alone. • No current method to identify the subset of patients at higher risk of recurrence. • Minimal benefit of adding chemotherapy. • The associated significant morbidity.

Stage II Colon Cancer:QUASAR Validation Results: • Recurrence score (per 25 units) predictive of DFS and OS • DFS HR: 1.42 (95% CI: 1.09-1.84; P = .010) • OS HR: 1.33 (95% CI: 1.01-1.76; P = .041) • No significant differences in treatment score by treatment interaction in OS, DFS, or relapse-free interval Kerr D, et al.

Prognostic Value of CRC Biomarkers: Translational Study on PETACC 3 • Study designed to compare the incidence of molecular biomarkers in pts with stage II/III CRC in the PETACC 3 trial (N = 3278). • Frequency of MSI-H significantly higher in stage II (22%) vs stage III (12%) disease (P < .0001). • Higher frequency of MSI detected in N0 tumors compared with N1 or N2 (P < .0001). • Higher tumor stage correlated with increased frequency of MSI (T1/T2 vs T3 vs T4) (P = .037).

Keep in Mind: • Number of LNs > 12. • Timing: 4-8 wks. • Age. • Molecular Markers. • 5-Fu/LV is the Backbone. • Stage II Disease: Better Assessment. • Stage III Disease: MOSAIC & X-ACT. • The Role of Adjuvant Targeted Therapy.
