795 Background: Clinico-pathological high risk features are frequently utilized in adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) decisions in stage II colorectal cancer and their utility in stage II appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AA) is less established. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of high risk features on clinical outcomes and whether high risk features are predictive of AC benefit in stage II AA. Methods: Patients with pathological stage II AA between 2010 and 2015 were identified from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) using ICD-O-3 morphology and topography codes: 8140, 8480 and C18.1. High risk stage II AA was defined as having at least one of the following clinicopathological features: T4 tumor, < 12 lymph nodes examined, poorly differentiated histology, positive margins, or lymphovascular invasion. Patients with none of these features were defined as low-risk. Results: A total of 1,040 patients were identified. 51.0% males, 84.5% Caucasian; median age 61 (range, 19-90). 46.4% were determined to have high-risk stage II AA. High-risk status was associated with worse OS compared to low-risk in univariate (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.18-2.02; p = 0.001) and multivariable analyses (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.03-1.79; p = 0.028). High-risk stage II AA patients had significantly worse 5-year OS compared to low-risk patients (67.1% vs. 74.5%, p = 0.0013). AC was administered in 34.4% (n = 166) of high-risk patients and in 36.5% (n = 203) of low-risk patients. Among high-risk patients, AC was not associated with better OS in univariate (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.59-1.26; p = 0.722) and multivariable analyses (HR 1.35; 95% CI 0.90-2.04; p = 0.324) compared to no AC. Similarly, among low-risk patients, AC was not associated with better OS in univariate (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.60-1.39; p = 0.813) and multivariable analyses (HR 1.27; 95% CI 0.81-2.02; p = 0.334) compared to no AC. For high-risk patients, 5-year OS was 68.3% in patients that received AC vs. 66.5% in patients that did not (p = 0.722). For low-risk patients, 5-year OS was 74.0% in patients that received AC vs. 76.3% in patients that did not (p = 0.813). Conclusions: High-risk stage II AA patients had significantly worse 5-year OS compared to low-risk patients. AC did not improve survival regardless of high risk features in stage II AA.

Among high-risk patients, AC was not associated with better OS in univariate (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.59-1.26; p=0.448) and multivariable analyses (HR 1.35; 95% CI 0.90-2.04; p=0.151) compared to no AC. Similarly, among low-risk patients, AC was not associated with better OS in univariate (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.60-1.39; p=0.679) and multivariable analyses (HR 1.27; 95% CI 0.81-2.02; p=0.299) compared to no AC. For high-risk patients, 5-year OS was 68.3% in patients that received AC vs. 66.5% in patients that did not (p=0.722). For low-risk patients, 5-year OS was 74.0% in patients that received AC vs. 76.3% in patients that did not (p=0.813).Conclusion: High-risk stage II AA patients had significantly worse 5-year OS compared to low-risk patients.

Background High-risk patients with stage II colon cancer may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, but identifying this patient population can be difficult. We assessed the prognosis value for predicting tumor progression in patients with stage II colon cancer, of a panel of 2 biomarkers for colon cancer: tumor budding and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Methods Consecutive patients (N = 134) with stage II colon cancer who underwent curative surgery from 2000 to 2007 were included. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the association of CEA and tumor budding grade with 5-year disease-free survival (DFS). The prognostic accuracy of CEA, tumor budding grade and the combination of both (CEA-budding panel) was determined. Results The study found that both CEA and tumor budding grade were associated with 5-year DFS. The prognostic accuracy for disease progression was higher for the CEA-budding panel (82.1%) than either CEA (70.9%) or tumor budding grade (72.4%) alone. Conclusions The findings indicate that the combination of CEA levels and tumor budding grade has greater prognostic value for identifying patients with stage II colon cancer who are at high-risk for disease progression, than either marker alone.

Personalized treatment vs. standard of care is much debated, especially in clinical practice. Here we investigated whether overall survival differences in metastatic colorectal cancer patients are explained by tumor mutation profiles or by treatment differences in real clinical practice. Our retrospective study of metastatic colorectal cancer patients of confirmed European ancestry comprised 54 Americans and 54 gender-matched Germans. The Americans received standard of care, and on treatment failure, 35 patients received individualized treatments. The German patients received standard of care only. Tumor mutations, tumor mutation burden and microsatellite status were identified by using the FoundationOne assay or the IDT Pan-Cancer assay. High-risk patients were identified according to the mutational classification by Schell and colleagues. Results: Kaplan–Meier estimates show the high-risk patients to survive 16 months longer under individualized treatments than those under only standard of care, in the median (p < 0.001). Tumor mutation profiles stratify patients by risk groups but not by country. Conclusions: High-risk patients appear to survive significantly longer (p < 0.001) if they receive individualized treatments after the exhaustion of standard of care treatments. Secondly, the tumor mutation landscape in Americans and Germans is congruent and thus warrants the transatlantic exchange of successful treatment protocols and the harmonization of guidelines.

378 Background: Although the benefit of chemotherapy in stage II and III colon cancer patients is significant, many patients might not need adjuvant chemotherapy because they have a good prognosis even without additional treatment. ColoPrint is a gene expression classifier that distinguish patients with low or high risk of disease relapse. It was developed using whole genome expression data and has been validated in public datasets, independent European patient cohorts and technical studies (Salazar 2011 JCO, Maak 2012 Ann Surg). Methods: In this study, the commercial ColoPrint test was validated in stage II (n=96) and III patients (n=95) treated at the MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2003 to 2009. Frozen tissue specimen, clinical parameters, MSI-status and follow-up data (median follow-up 64 months) were available. The 64-gene MSI-signature developed to identify patients with deficient mismatch repair system (Tian 2012 J Path) was evaluated for its accuracy to identify MSI patients and also for prognosis. Results: In this cohort, ColoPrint classified 56% of stage II and III patients as being at low risk. The 3-year Relapse-Free-Survival (RFS) was 90.6% for Low Risk and 78.4% for High Risk patients with a HR of 2.33 (p=0.025). In uni-and multivariate analysis ColoPrint and stage were the only significant factors to predict outcome. The MSI-signature classified 47 patients (24.6%) as MSI-H and most MSI-H patients were ColoPrint low risk (81%). Patients who were ColoPrint low risk and MSI-H by signature had the best outcome with a 3-year RFS of 95% while patients with ColoPrint high risk had a worse outcome independently of the MSI-status. Low risk ColoPrint patients had a good outcome independent of stage or chemotherapy treatment (90.1% 3-year RFS for treated patients, 91.4% for untreated patients) while ColoPrint high risk patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy had 3-year RFS of 84%, compared to 70.1% 3-year RFS in untreated patients (p=0.026). Conclusions: The combination of ColoPrint and MSI-Print improves the prognostic accuracy in stage II and stage III patients and may help the identification of patients at higher risk who are more likely to benefit from additional treatment
