683 Background: There is currently no consensus about whether bevacizumab effectiveness is associated with the primary tumor location of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The aim of this study was to assess whether the primary tumor location was a predictor for bevacizumab treatment. Methods: From 2004 to 2013, 740 patients with mCRC treated with oxaliplatin / 5-FU / leucovorin (mFOLFOX6) or irinotecan / 5-FU / leucovorin (FOLFIRI) (CT group) and 244 patients treated with bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI (CT + B group) as first-line setting were included from Sun yat-sen university cancer center. Right-side colon cancers included those occurring in the cecum, ascending colon or transverse colon. Left-side colon cancers included those from descending or sigmoid colon. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests were used to detect difference. All statistical tests were two sided. Results: 222 right-side colon, 259 left-side colon and 259 rectal cancer patients were included in CT group while 78 right-side colon, 86 left-side colon and 80 rectal cancer patients were included in CT + B group. Patients in CT + B group had similar OS compare with CT group only when the primary tumor located at right-side colon (median OS was 19.6 months for CT + B group versus 19.5 months for CT group, P = 0.269). For left-side colon cancer, significantly longer OS were observed in CT + B than CT group (22.3 months versus 21.9 months, P = 0.014). For rectal cancer patients, those in CT + B group also had longer OS than CT group (25.9 months versus 21.1 months, P = 0.005). Conclusions: Our data suggested that patients with right-side colon cancer could not get survival benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to first-line chemotherapy. Further data from randomized trials are needed to test our hypothesis. [Table: see text]

Background: Advances in therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and improved understanding of prognostic and predictive factors have impacted treatment decisions. Materials & methods: This study used a large oncology database to investigate patterns of monoclonal antibody (mAb) plus chemotherapy treatment in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK in mCRC patients treated in first line in 2018. Results: Anti-EGFR mAbs were most often administered to patients with RAS wild-type mCRC and those with left-sided tumors, while anti-VEGF mAbs were preferred in RAS mutant and right-sided tumors. Adopted treatment strategies differed between countries, largely due to reimbursement. Conclusion: Biomarker status and primary tumor location steered treatment decisions in first line. Adopted treatment strategies differed between participating countries.

BackgroundPrimary tumor location (PTL) is an important prognostic and predictive factor in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Although regorafenib (REG) and trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) have been introduced recently, the clinical impact of PTL in these treatments is not well understood.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients with mCRC who were registered in a multicenter observational study (the REGOTAS study). The main inclusion criteria were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0–2, refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, angiogenesis inhibitors, anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy (if RAS wild-type), and no prior use of REG and FTD/TPI. The impact of PTL on overall survival (OS) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models based on baseline characteristics.ResultsA total of 550 patients (223 patients in the REG group and 327 patients in the FTD/TPI group) were included in this study, with 122 patients with right-sided tumors and 428 patients with left-sided tumors. Although the right-sided patients had significantly shorter OS compared with the left-sided patients by univariate analysis (p = 0.041), a multivariate analysis revealed that PTL was not an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 0.95; p = 0.64). In a subgroup analysis, the OS was comparable between the REG and FTD/TPI groups regardless of PTL (p for interactions = 0.60).ConclusionsIn the present study, PTL is not a prognostic and predictive factor in patients with mCRC under later-line REG or FTD/TPI therapy.

e15023 Background: Colorectal cancer is the one of the most common malignancy in western countries. In addition to standart treatment antiEGFR and antiVEGF agents have improved PFS and overall survival. Current studies showed that the colorectal cancers have heterogenous characteristics. The Colon is divided into two parts as a right and left colon according to embrological origin. Recent years supposed that right and left located colorectal tumors may not response samely to anti egfr and anti vegfr therapies. We performed a retrospective study in our clinic to answer this questions. Methods: Study Population and data collection: Between January 2005 and December 2016, all metastatic colorectal cancer patients (n = 285) who received anti-EGFR and anti- VEGF agent with chemotherapy on initial treatment at the Erciyes University Medical Oncology Department were retrospectively reviewed. We included patients with diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer and who received at least 1 dose of antiEGFR-based or antiVEGFR-based triplet bio-chemotherapy as their first-line treatments. Study population was divided into two groups as right and left colon. Results: A total of 251 patients met the inclusion criteria: 55 patients classified as a right colon cancer (RCC) and 196 patients classified as a left colon cancer (LCC) . 16 patients in RCC group received anti-EGFR-based triplet and 39 patients in RCC group received antiVEGF-based triplet; 76 patients in LCC group received anti-EGFR-based triplet and 120 patients in LCC group received antiVEGF-based triplet as first-line bio-chemotherapy. There were no differences between the patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF therapy in RCC group (PFS,antiEGFR vs anti VEGF, 7 vs 8 months,P = 0.378; OS, 21 vs 19 months, P = 0.876). There were no differences between the patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF therapy in LCC group (PFS,antiEGFR vs anti VEGF, 10 vs 10 months,P = 0.202; OS, 27 vs 24 months, P = 0.656). Conclusions: Our study shows that there were no significiant difference between the metastatic colorectal cancer patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF treatment in LCC and RCC.
