TPS3621 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) still remains controversial. Although the NCCN and ESMO guidelines recommend adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with “high-risk features,” the survival benefit has not been confirmed. We reviewed the evidence levels for prognostic values of risk factors, because lack of their robustness is a major source of uncertainty regarding the optimal indication of adjuvant chemotherapy. Consequently, on top of the T-stage, three pathological factors—perineural invasion (Pn), tumor budding (BD), and desmoplastic reaction (DR)—were selected as robust risk factors of recurrence. Among the conventional factors, the prognostic value of Pn had been well validated in a multicenter study conducted by the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR; Am J Surg Path 2013), but others were deemed suboptimal in terms of the prognostic value. BD and DR are novel tumor- and stroma-factors, respectively, associated with cancer microenvironment at the tumor front. According to the JSCCR and ITBCC 2016 criteria, tumors are graded as BD1, BD2, or BD3. The DR heterogeneity is categorized into Mature, Intermediate, and Immature patterns based on site-specific products of cancer-associated fibroblasts—keloid-like collagen and myxoid stroma. According to a recent prospective multicenter study, BD and DR characterization represent a higher level of prognostic value than other conventional factors (SACURA trial; J Clin Oncol 2019, Br J Cancer 2021). Based on the four selected risk factors, we can exclude the patient group with favorable prognosis (i.e., > 90% of 5-year RFS), which accounts for approximately 40% of the total population, resulting in enabling us to identify the concentrated population of high risk of developing recurrence. Methods: The Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) launched a randomized controlled phase III trial to evaluate the superiority of adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS) over observation only in stage II CRC patients aged 20–80 years having one or more of the following risk factors: pathological T4, Pn, BD3, and non-Mature DR. Patients are randomised, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to [A] observation, [B] capecitabine monotherapy for 6 months, or [C] capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) for 3 months. A total of 1680 patients will be accrued from 54 Japanese institutions assuming 3-year RFS with [A] to be 82% and expected 5% increase in 3-year RFS for [B] and [C] with one-sided alpha of 2.5% and power of 80% for each pair comparison. Patient enrollment was started in January 2020 and 170 patients have been enrolled until January 2021. This trial has been registered at Japan Registry of Clinical Trials as jRCTs031190186. Clinical trial information: jRCTs031190186.

ABSTRACTBackgroundColorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-associated morbidity and mortality worldwide. The local anti-tumour immune response is particularly important for patients with stage II where the tumour-draining lymph nodes have not yet succumbed to tumour spread. The lymph nodes allow for the expansion and release of B cell compartments such as primary follicles and germinal centres. A variation in this anti-tumour immune response may influence the observed clinical heterogeneity in stage II patients.AimThe aim of this study was to explore tumour-draining lymph node histomorphological changes and tumour pathological risk factors including the immunomodulatory microRNA-21 (miR-21) in a small cohort of stage II CRC.MethodsA total of 23 stage II colorectal cancer patients were included. Tumour and normal mucosa samples were analysed for miR-21 expression levels and B-cell compartments were quantified from Haematoxylin and Eosin slides of lymph nodes. These measures were compared to clinicopathological risk factors such as perforation, bowel obstruction, T4 stage and high-grade.ResultsWe observed greater follicle density in patients with a lower tumour T stage and higher germinal centre density in patients with higher pre-operative carcinoembryonic antigen levels. Trends were also detected between tumours with deficiency in mismatch repair proteins, lymphatic invasion and both the density and size of B-cell compartments. Lastly, elevated tumour miR-21 was associated with decreased follicle and germinal centre size.ConclusionVariation in B-cell compartments of tumour-draining lymph nodes is associated with clinicopathological risk factors in stage II CRC patients.What does this paper add to the literature?This study demonstrates the variability of tumour draining lymph node morphological features in stage II CRC patients. This provides new scope for biomarker discovery in stage II CRC patients which is a research priority for this patient group.

Stage Ii Colorectal Cancer

Review question / Objective: Perineural invasion (PNI) is a possible route for metastatic spread in various cancer types, including colorectal cancer (CRC). PNI is linked to poor prognosis. For patients with lymph node positive colorectal cancer, a number of large-scale RCT studies have confirmed that they can benefit from chemotherapy, but there are still many controversies about whether colorectal patients with negative lymph nodes need adjuvant chemotherapy. At present, there is a general consensus that patients with stage II colorectal cancer who have risk factors such as PNI+ need chemotherapy. However, there are many recent literatures that show that patients with stage II colorectal cancer with nerve invasion risk factors can not prolong the OS and DFS of patients. At the same time, chemotherapy increases the toxicity, economic and mental burden of patients. Therefore, we hope to write this review to summarize the current research findings and provide some clinical guidance on whether patients with lymph node negative colon cancer who have perineural invasion should receive chemotherapy. Condition being studied: Patients with high-risk such as PNI+ stage II colon cancer (CC) are recommended to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). However, whether such patients can benefit from ACT remains unclear. And recently studies shown that, ACT had no significant benefit among patients with PNI.
