Defining Therapeutic Settings • Neoadjuvant therapy Resectable hepatic metastases Preoperative systemic therapy followed by postresection therapy • Adjuvant therapy Resectable hepatic metastases Postresection systemic/regional therapy • Conversion therapy Unresectable hepatic metastases Systemic/regional therapy in an attempt to make the metastases resectable
Liver Metastases in CRC • Survival directly related to liver metastases resectability 5 -y OS = 40%-58% following successful resection As high as 71. 5% following solitary resection • Redefining resectability Before • Required limited number of metastases (3 to 4) Now • Number of metastases a relative decision factor • Anticipated negative surgical margins • ≥ 30% liver mass • Associated with a near-zero operative mortality rate and longterm survival OS = overall survival. 1.

Adjuvant Therapy: Stage III Colon Cancer • FOLFOX or FLOX for 6 months • XELOX for 6 months • 5 -FU/LV for 6 -8 months - RPMI schedule - Mayo Clinic schedule - De. Gramont infusional schedule • Capecitabine monotherapy for 6 months Role for Bevacizumab remains unclear should not be used outside of clinical trial setting No role of EGFR inhibitors
Conclusion • Metastatic CRC: median OS 2 yrs. FOLFOX (XELOX) and FOLFIRI are the backbone as 1 st or 2 nd line Off-on vs. maintenance (OPTIMOX) Bevacizumab should be considered when it is available K-Ras status should be tested and considered cetuximab in WT • Importance of Resctability Assessment: Pare-operative chemo for pts with liver mets, Timing, Regimens, other local therapies to de-bulk (RFA, TACE…) • Adjuvant: Stage III: • FOLFOX/XELOX, • 5 -FU or Capecitabine for those not candidate for oxaliplatin • Irinotecan, bevacizumab, cetuximab no role. Stage II: • Studies for searching those will be benefit from

Individualized Risk Assessments Using a Recurrence Nomogram Locate patient’s CEA value on the CEA axis. Draw a line up to the “Points” axis Repeat process for each of the remaining axes Sum the points from each variable and locate on “Total Points” axis www. nomograms. org Weiser MR, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2008; 26(3): 380 -385. Draw a line from the total points to the “ 5 -yr or 10 -yr freedom from recurrence” axis to ascertain the patient’s specific risk of recurrence value
