COLON CANCER2004 Estimated New Cases in Europe and Italy Death UE: 213.000 110.000 I: 32.000 16.000
ADJUVANT COLON CANCER:MAIN STEPS FROM 1990 to 2002 • 1990 FU/levamisole better than surgery alone • 1994 FU/LV better than surgery alone • 1996 FU/LV better than FU/levamisole • 1996 6 months FU/LV = 12 months FU/LV • 1996 Levamisole unnecessary • 1996 HD LV = LD LV • 1998 Weekly = monthly schedules • 2001 Elderly benefit from therapy
ADJUVANT COLON CANCER : Questions answered from 2002: Infusional 5-FU? Intraportal + systemic 5-FU? Oral fluoropyrimidines? Oxaliplatin? Irinotecan
Open questions on adjuvant therapy • Patient selection • Stage C • Stage B2 • Treatment choice

ADJUVANT CT FOR STAGE III COLON CANCER TODAY … … is there still a role for mono-therapy?
Adjuvant Infusional or Oral 5FU • Advantages • Toxicity( ↓ diarrhea, stomatitis, neutropenia) • Duration(3 months 5FU PVI) • Compliance(oral 5FU) • Disadvantages • Efficacy( = 5FU/LV) • CVC complications(infusional 5FU) • Compliance(oral 5FU)
Why consider a monotherapy? • Heterogeneous prognosis of stage III • Weakness of FOLFOX • Patients’ characteristics/preferences
Prognostic factors for stage III • T, N, grade • Number of N removed/examined • MSI, TGF-1 RII, 18q LOH • TS, TP, DPD, p53 • LDH-5, FLK-1 • Gene signature Known Unknown
Prognosis of stage III patients Green FL, Ann Surg 2002

Weakness of FOLFOX • Toxicity • Long term safety • Neurotoxicity • Secondary leukemia • Long term efficacy • 3-y DFS vs 5-y OS

OXALIPLATIN CRHONIC NEUROTOXICITY • Atypical cumulative neurotoxicity • Rare situation described with cumulative doses > 1000 mg/sqm • Presentation: Lhermitte’s sign/Urinary retention • Involvement of dorsal root, spinal cord and parasympathetic • “Coasting” phenomenon • 10-15% of patients symptoms emerge or worsen after oxaliplatin discontinuation • This toxicity is not adequately described • In the MOSAIC 12 patients developed grade 3 sensor neurotoxicity after the end of treatment Taleb S, Cancer 2002
Oxaliplatin-Related Acute Myelogenous Leukemia • 56-year-old woman • FOLFOX-4 (12 cycles) • FOLFOX-6 + BV (9 cycles) • 65-year-old woman • Irinotecan (3 cycles) • FOLFOX-4 (3 cycles) Merrouche Y, Ann Oncol 2005 Carneiro BA, Oncologist 2006

Completion of Therapy by Medicare Patients With Stage III Colon Cancer • 3193 stage III colon cancer patients recorded in 1992 – 1996 SEER program • Risk of cancer-related mortality was significantly lower among those completing chemotherapy (5FU based) • relative risk = 0.79 (0.69-0.89) • Factors associated with incomplete adjuvant CT • Physical frailty • Treatment complications • Lack of social and psychological support.

Adjuvant CT for stage III • FOLFOX-4 is the reference treatment • Assessment of long term safety/efficacy is mandatory • Monotherapy could be a reasonable choice considering: • Risk of recurrence • Patients characteristics • Patients preference/attitudes
