Abstract

Background

The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes in patients with peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer (pmCRC) who underwent cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/IPC) in relation to the location of the primary tumor. Regional therapy, including cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has been associated with improved survival in patients with pmCRC. Location of the primary tumor has been shown to be prognostic in patients with metastasis.

Patients and Methods

A retrospective review was performed for all patients who underwent complete cytoreduction and intraperitoneal chemotherapy from 2010 to 2017, examining patient and tumor characteristics, overall and recurrence-free survival, recurrence patterns, and tumor mutational profiles.

Results

Ninety-three patients were included in the study: 49 (53%) with a right-sided and 44 (47%) with a left-sided primary tumor. Patients with a right-sided tumor had significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (median, 6.3 months; 95% CI, 4.7–8.1 months vs 12.3 months; 95% CI, 3.6–21.7 months; P = 0.02) and overall survival (median, 36.6 months; 95% CI, 26.4–46.9 months vs 83.3 months; 95% CI 44.2–122.4 months; P = 0.03). BRAF and KRAS mutations were more frequent in right-sided tumors, and APC and TP53 mutations were more frequent in left-sided tumors, which were more chromosomally instable. BRAF mutations were associated with early recurrence.

Conclusions

Tumor sidedness is a predictor of oncological outcomes after CRS/IPC. Tumor sidedness and molecular characteristics should be considered when counseling patients regarding expected outcomes and when selecting or stratifying pmCRC patients for clinical trials of regional therapy.
