Case • 22 y/o female college student presents with abdominal pain and BRPBR • CT showed intussusception at hepatic flexure, colonoscopy showed fungating mass in same region, mod diff adeno • MRI shows liver mets • Patient undergoes R hemicolectomy prior to visit with medical oncology
Question 1 • Surgeon tells you disease is unresectable, what is the reason? (show MRI again) • Bilobar disease • Greater than 3 metastases • Vascular involvement • Insufficient expected liver reserve

Resectable Liver Metastasis- Adjuvant Therapy • Precise definition of this entity is difficult, but most would agree that 4 or less mets to a single lobe are readily resectable • Coceptually similar to stage III disease • Prior studies of 5-FU based therapy suggested trend toward OS • Many oncologists have empirically added bevacizumab in this setting

Conclusions- Resectable Liver Metastasses • 5FU-based therapy never proven effective • FOLFOX probably standard, but less effective than we would have thought based on stage III results • No evidence that pre-operative therapy is necessary vs. postoperative • Bevacizumab is of unproven benefit in this group of patients, and C08 suggests it may not be helpful as adjuvant therapy • What to do with resectable disease that arises after adjuvant FOLFOX???

Case Cont’d • Patient was enrolled on CALGB/SWOG 80405, randomized to bev arm (FOLFOX was chosen backbone) • After 3 cycles of therapy (beginning 6 weeks post-op), she developed pain in pelvis and right thigh • MRI: Peripherally enhancing fluid collection tracking along the right intra-pelvic iliopsoas musculature into the anterior right thigh and about the sartorius and gracilis muscles, consistent with abcess. • Yikes!
Question 3 • What do we lose by omitting bevacizumab? • Chance of response decreases by 10% compared with FOLFOX alone • Chance of resectability decreases by 10% compared to FOLFOX alone • Median PFS decreases by 2 months • Median overall survival decreases by 2 months • None of the above is true

Non-curative Ablation for mCRC:Does it Improve Survival in FOLFOX era? • EORTC 40004 (CLOCC): RPII adding RFA to systemic CT in patients with ≤ 9 unresectable CRC LM and no extrahepatic disease • 119 patients randomized 2002-2007 • CT was FOLFOX (+ bev beginning in 2005) • 30-months OS rate: (primary endpoint) • 61.7% (95% CI, 48.21-73.93) in the RFA +CT • 57.6% (44.07-70.39) in the CT arm (higher than anticipated in study design!) • PFS 16.9 mos vs 9.9 • Conclusion- liver only mets have better prognosis, not clear if RFA changes it
Our patient • Underwent R hepatectomy with biopsy of SBRT site and repair of anastamosis/fistula • Still some viable disease at SBRT site • Now back on FOLFOX (without bevacizumab)
Conclusion • Surgical therapy can be curative of CLM • Adjuvant therapy remains standard, but actual proof is lacking (even after EORTC study) • Modern systemic therapy has allowed for the pool of eligible patients to increase • The best “conversion” therapy remains to be defined • Newer options exist, but more data needed on use • Non-curative RFA does not obviously prolong survival in liver-only CLM, but larger studies may be necessary
