- 00:00Agenda welcome everyone to Cancer
- 00:03Center grand rounds and really
- 00:05pleased to have three various themed
- 00:08colleagues presenting and I, you know,
- 00:12I think if there's one particular theme
- 00:15that I think emerges among many from
- 00:19today's forum is that we have what's
- 00:23really great is the number of talented
- 00:26people across multiple disciplines.
- 00:28Who are making progress on pivotal questions
- 00:32in cancer care in Cancer Research,
- 00:34and I think today's forum is just you
- 00:37know one very clear of many examples
- 00:40of three individuals doing great work,
- 00:42each coming from it from a different
- 00:45discipline but working together towards
- 00:47really making a difference for patients
- 00:49for the field and and obviously advancing
- 00:52our research and educational agenda.
- 00:54And I I would, I'll do.
- 00:57I'd like to do is really.
- 00:59Introduce one of our speakers and ask him
- 01:02to then introduce the other colleague.
- 01:05So let me introduce Kevin Billingslea,
- 01:07who I think frankly in the past.
- 01:10I guess nine months or so really
- 01:13needs no introduction.
- 01:14Kevin, as many of you know,
- 01:17joined us in in or about January.
- 01:20As our chief medical officer for the Yale
- 01:23Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital.
- 01:26And is also a professor in
- 01:28the Department of surgery.
- 01:30Kevin is responsible for our
- 01:33clinical enterprise,
- 01:33working with our leaders in
- 01:36nursing and other disciplines,
- 01:37and has really done an extraordinary
- 01:40job and certainly working.
- 01:42You know,
- 01:43arriving here and nothing less stepping
- 01:45into the frying pan with Kovid.
- 01:48And really the need to work
- 01:51collaboratively across so many
- 01:53people to execute on what was heroic.
- 01:56An extraordinary response on so many parts.
- 01:59Kevin,
- 01:59beyond his success as our
- 02:02chief medical officer,
- 02:03is an international leader in
- 02:05the clinical care and research
- 02:08of patients with a paddle,
- 02:10biliary cancers,
- 02:11as well as gastrointestinal ligatures.
- 02:13Legacies before joining us here,
- 02:15Kevin was a professor at Oregon
- 02:18Health and Science University
- 02:20where he was the medical director
- 02:23of the Knight Cancer Institute and
- 02:25the chief of surgical oncology,
- 02:28and Kevin is going to.
- 02:30Take over with our discussion of
- 02:32evolving multidisciplinary management
- 02:33of colorectal liver metastases,
- 02:35and I'll let Kevin take over and
- 02:38introduce the other great faculty,
- 02:40Kevin, thank you.
- 02:42Charlie,
- 02:43thanks, thank you so much for that
- 02:46really gracious introduction.
- 02:48I'm thrilled to be here.
- 02:50We're going to do kind of A tag
- 02:53team screen sharing here and let me
- 02:54see if I can get going with that.
- 03:10OK, is that working for folks?
- 03:12I I only see you Kevin. OK.
- 03:37There you go. Got
- 03:47it, how about that OK? Well, you
- 03:55know it's as Charlie alluded to.
- 03:57I've had the pleasure of spending much of my
- 04:00career as hepatobiliary surgical oncologist.
- 04:03And you know, I will share that one of
- 04:06the most gratifying aspects of my time
- 04:09in surgical oncology is participating
- 04:12and witnessing the dramatic advances
- 04:14that we have had in the multidisciplinary
- 04:18care of patients with colorectal liver
- 04:22metastases and one of the things that
- 04:24I was most excited about is I prepared
- 04:27for my transition to the ill Cancer
- 04:30Center in Smilow.
- 04:32Cancer Hospital was the
- 04:34fact that we truly have.
- 04:36Kind of.
- 04:37We essentially have a world class
- 04:39team of experts across disciplines
- 04:42who are contributing to the care
- 04:45of this unique group of patients.
- 04:49And we have all of the elements here and I
- 04:53want to with that as a jumping off point.
- 04:58Introduce my two partners in this
- 05:01multidisciplinary grand rounds.
- 05:02Doctor Michael Cicchini is a.
- 05:05A seasoned veteran of Yale,
- 05:07he's a graduate of the Albert
- 05:10Einstein School of Medicine,
- 05:12came here to New Haven for residency,
- 05:15stayed on for fellowship,
- 05:17and has just continued to rocket
- 05:20to prominence from there.
- 05:22Michael profited as many of our
- 05:24fellows have from the mentorship
- 05:27and guidance of doctor Jill Lacey,
- 05:30who is as most of you know,
- 05:33the Dean of our GI medical Oncologist.
- 05:36Michael has carved out a really unique
- 05:39spot for himself and our organization,
- 05:42an increasingly across the country.
- 05:44In a mix of traditional clinical
- 05:46research and GI medical oncology
- 05:48as well as phase one clinical trial
- 05:51work and drug development.
- 05:53So delighted to have him with me
- 05:56today and as a clinical partner.
- 05:59Next,
- 06:00doctor David made off is a relatively
- 06:04recent addition to the Yale team.
- 06:06When I was preparing for my move here,
- 06:10he was one of the most one of the
- 06:14people that I was most excited
- 06:18to partner with.
- 06:19David,
- 06:20his essentially written the book
- 06:23on portal vein, embolization, and.
- 06:25And optimization of the hepatic
- 06:28remnant for in preparation for
- 06:30complex hepatobiliary surgery,
- 06:32he spent much there earlier part of
- 06:35his career at the MD Anderson Cancer Center,
- 06:39then transitioned back here to the
- 06:41East Coast where he's at Cornell
- 06:44for a number of years and then more
- 06:47recently we've been fortunate to
- 06:49recruit him as the vice chair for
- 06:53clinical research and the section
- 06:56chief of Interventional radiology.
- 06:58And I will say kind of quickly.
- 07:01Is this side note one of the things
- 07:04that I enjoy most about caring for
- 07:07patients with colorectal liver metastases?
- 07:09Is that it really is a team sport.
- 07:13This multidisciplinary grand rounds
- 07:14does highlight a number of us who are
- 07:18involved from surgery, medical oncology,
- 07:20Interventional radiology.
- 07:21I do feel little remiss in not
- 07:24having some other folks on a panel
- 07:26who were important contributors
- 07:27such as radiation oncology.
- 07:29And other disciplines,
- 07:31but I know we'll have other opportunities.
- 07:34So this is a very comprehensive field.
- 07:37We're not going to cover everything today.
- 07:40Our goal is a team is to kind of give
- 07:44you some broad brush overviews
- 07:46of developments and high points.
- 07:49I will be talking.
- 07:50I'll be giving an overview and talking
- 07:53about some surgical strategies mainly
- 07:55focusing on patients with advanced disease.
- 07:58Doctor made off will be talking about
- 08:01his real area of world class expertise.
- 08:05Which is various techniques to optimize the
- 08:08liver remnant to support complex resection.
- 08:11Role of Interventional radiology
- 08:13and Michael will be updating us on
- 08:17the numerous advances and systemic
- 08:19chemotherapy for the disease.
- 08:21Well, the idea of resecting colorectal
- 08:24liver metastases is not new.
- 08:27You know surgeons have been
- 08:29doing this for 40 plus years.
- 08:32What is exciting is the developments
- 08:35that have been made in the safety
- 08:39of these operations.
- 08:40The number and variety of technical
- 08:43approaches and the slow but steady
- 08:46increase in long-term survival that
- 08:49patients enjoy after these procedures.
- 08:52Why would we focus on aggressive
- 08:55liver directed therapy for this
- 08:57patient with liver metastases?
- 08:59Well,
- 08:59as many of you understand,
- 09:02the liver disease in metastatic
- 09:04colorectal cancer often serves as
- 09:07as the main source of Morbidity
- 09:09and mortality and affect the driver
- 09:12demise for folks with this disease.
- 09:15And this occurs through a number of pathways.
- 09:18Patients with bulky disease can
- 09:21experience liver failure more commonly.
- 09:23They suffer from progressive biliary
- 09:26obstruction which is understandable,
- 09:28untreatable,
- 09:28and once this occurs an they're jaundice,
- 09:32it is very difficult to.
- 09:35Provide ongoing effective
- 09:36systemic chemotherapy,
- 09:38and it leads to kind of a downhill spiral.
- 09:43The good news is that from multiple currents.
- 09:48Case series we know that complete
- 09:51resection of colorectal liver metastases
- 09:54patients can enjoy up to and sometimes
- 09:57more of 50% five year survival rate,
- 10:00yet, there remain significant challenges.
- 10:02Roughly,
- 10:02only 20% of patients with this
- 10:05disease process are resectable at
- 10:07the time that presentation,
- 10:09and even with aggressive surgical
- 10:12therapy recurrence,
- 10:13remains frustratingly high.
- 10:14Often you know 80% at about
- 10:17the five year mark.
- 10:19I don't want to steal doctor
- 10:22Cecchini's Thunder here,
- 10:23and I apologize for stepping on his turf,
- 10:27but no self respecting surgical
- 10:29oncologist would talk about progress
- 10:32in this area without some mention of
- 10:35the groundbreaking advances that have
- 10:37been made in systemic chemotherapy.
- 10:39I think this timeline kind of
- 10:42tells the story.
- 10:43We've gone from the 5F U era,
- 10:46which was the case for many years is.
- 10:50Really,
- 10:51the only chemotherapeutic option
- 10:53in this disease with a 12 to 14
- 10:57month median survival to our current
- 10:59modern regiments with Folfox,
- 11:02Folfiri and increasingly triplet
- 11:04chemotherapy or patients even
- 11:06without surgery,
- 11:07are enjoying survival of 29 plus months so.
- 11:12As much as we have,
- 11:14surgeons congratulate ourselves
- 11:15on our technical wizardry of big
- 11:18piece of the progress in the
- 11:21background is effective chemotherapy.
- 11:23So this is what I is, a surgical oncologist.
- 11:27Love to see a patient with
- 11:29easily resectable disease,
- 11:31limited number of tumors,
- 11:33one maybe two tumors that are
- 11:35peripherally placed not in close
- 11:37proximity to major vascular structures,
- 11:40and these folks are amenable to
- 11:42an atomic or segmental resection.
- 11:44The surgical options for manageing
- 11:47folks like this are manifold.
- 11:49They can be treated well within
- 11:51traditional open operation. Lapre Scopic.
- 11:54Liver resection is now in the mainstream,
- 11:57and increasingly we're used
- 11:59utilizing the robotic platform
- 12:01to address some of these tumors.
- 12:04Now more commonly,
- 12:05what we see particularly at
- 12:07large academic medical centers,
- 12:09such as we work in our patients who have
- 12:13advanced colorectal liver metastases.
- 12:15These are patients with multi focal disease.
- 12:18Often the diseases bilateral on
- 12:20both sides of the liver and often
- 12:23their bulky lesions which are in
- 12:26close proximity to major vascular
- 12:28structures or portal pedicles.
- 12:30So I'm going to share the story of
- 12:33a 48 year old woman who I treated
- 12:37in Portland about eight years ago.
- 12:40She presented with bulky,
- 12:41complex liver disease,
- 12:43Anna sigmoid non obstructed
- 12:45sigmoid primary cancer in place.
- 12:47So not to dwell on too many
- 12:50liver technicalities,
- 12:51but she had a high central liver
- 12:53lesion in close proximity to the
- 12:55vena cava sitting right under the
- 12:58confluence of the three hepatic veins.
- 13:00Should an additional bulky lesion
- 13:03in segment for the liver sitting
- 13:05in proximity to one of the pedicles
- 13:08in the in the middle hepatic vein?
- 13:11And then she had another bulky
- 13:13lesion in segment five and six
- 13:15on the right side of the liver.
- 13:18So this is a perfect segue into the
- 13:20need for multidisciplinary multi
- 13:23disciplinary strategies to address
- 13:25patients like this with advanced
- 13:29colorectal liver metastases.
- 13:31And I'm going to talk today in my
- 13:35section about 3 strategies to to
- 13:38approach this group of patients,
- 13:41all requiring the integration
- 13:43of multiple disciplines.
- 13:46Probably the most common is what we
- 13:49described is conversion chemotherapy,
- 13:52which involves the upfront utilization
- 13:55of multiagent chemotherapy.
- 13:57Usually oxaliplatin based to downstage
- 14:00tumors within the range of respectability.
- 14:04Another approach that is increasingly
- 14:06used at high volume centers around the
- 14:09world is what we call staged habit ectomy.
- 14:12This is breaking the surgical
- 14:14treatment up into two sessions
- 14:16with an intervening procedure
- 14:17called portal vein embolization,
- 14:19which leads to optimization of
- 14:21growth of the plant hepatic remnant.
- 14:24And then the last topic I will
- 14:27touch on briefly is something that
- 14:29many of us around the world are
- 14:31starting to do which is complex
- 14:34parenchymal sparing receptions,
- 14:36which allow simultaneous resection
- 14:38of multiple sites of disease.
- 14:41So the patient I described did
- 14:42go on to have eight cycles of
- 14:45Folfox with bevacizumab Avastin,
- 14:47and she was in the subset of patients
- 14:50who enjoyed a stunning response.
- 14:52As you can see,
- 14:54the central lesion shrunk dramatically.
- 14:56You can start to see some width on the Ivy,
- 15:00see a little more space around
- 15:02the dip attic veins.
- 15:04This lesion is now shrunk
- 15:06away from the left portal.
- 15:08Pedicle involves the caudate lobe of
- 15:10the liver which is a bit of a tricky
- 15:14place to operate but now has good clearances.
- 15:17The left pedicle segment for
- 15:19lesion significantly smaller and
- 15:20the right side liver lesion,
- 15:22also smaller.
- 15:23This allowed us to take her to the
- 15:25operating room and one operative setting.
- 15:29Treat her with a left hip.
- 15:30It ectomy a caudate lobe resection segment
- 15:336 or section in a sigmoid colectomy.
- 15:36This was her diseases that appeared
- 15:39in the operating room, stomach,
- 15:41liver, Gallbladder, and the caudate.
- 15:44Lesion shrunken in partially calcified.
- 15:47The segment 56 lesion again nice response
- 15:50partially calcified and what she wound
- 15:53up with his complex bilateral resection,
- 15:55but with plenty of good healthy liver
- 15:58remnant left and I know everyone
- 16:01reports their greatest success.
- 16:03What happened with this lady is
- 16:05she had a single side of recurrent
- 16:08disease about two years after that we
- 16:11treated with a little wedge resection
- 16:14and she is disease free at last.
- 16:17Follow up about 8 years out.
- 16:20So what we've learned over the
- 16:22years in the French are really led
- 16:25the way in this is that patients
- 16:28can enjoy even after chemotherapy.
- 16:30Conversion can enjoy a very high
- 16:33rate of long-term survival.
- 16:35This is data from Renee.
- 16:37A damn now presented years ago,
- 16:39but makes the point.
- 16:41They looked at their subset of
- 16:43patients from their entire spectrum
- 16:45of liver metastases who are respected
- 16:48after conversion chemotherapy.
- 16:50And although this group of patients
- 16:53who were converted to Resectable
- 16:55did not enjoy the survival that
- 16:58the primary population did,
- 17:0033% five year survival in a subset of
- 17:05patients extending out into the eight
- 17:07to 10 year mark as my patient did.
- 17:11I'd only just you.
- 17:13While I was there, my partner,
- 17:16Sky Mayo and I took a kind of
- 17:19a new is old or old.
- 17:22Is new approach to kind of
- 17:24optimizing this approach.
- 17:25We started a hepatic
- 17:27arterial infusion program.
- 17:28As many of you know,
- 17:31this involves the placement of a
- 17:33chemotherapy pump in a catheter
- 17:35into the hepatic artery to deliver
- 17:38focus chemotherapy with the
- 17:40aim of converting patients.
- 17:41It's a complex operation involves
- 17:44dissection of the hepatic artery
- 17:46placement at the pump in a subcutaneous
- 17:49pocket with installation of FDR.
- 17:51We did this in combination with
- 17:54systemic chemotherapy with Folfox.
- 17:56I'm just going to quickly report these
- 17:59results we placed about 27 pumps.
- 18:02At this time we analyze data.
- 18:05We looked at the 1st 20.
- 18:07Two of these pumps, all.
- 18:09A subset for unresectable disease.
- 18:15Many of these were high risk disease,
- 18:1836% with the K Ras mutant.
- 18:20All had synchronous disease.
- 18:22All had multiple liver lesions.
- 18:24The point relate relative to this talk
- 18:28that I'd like to point out is that.
- 18:31Of the 13 patients that we were
- 18:34aiming to convert to respectability,
- 18:37a subset we were able to eventually
- 18:39get to the operating room with
- 18:42very extensive bilateral disease,
- 18:44so this is yet another kind of
- 18:47regional chemotherapy strategy to
- 18:48convert patients to Resectable.
- 18:50Another approach that is done
- 18:52throughout the world that is
- 18:55facilitated by David's work is
- 18:57a two stage HEPA tech to me.
- 18:59This is for patients with complex.
- 19:02Lateral disease,
- 19:03they go to the operating room in one
- 19:05session and either have reception of
- 19:08the left liver disease or ablation.
- 19:10Then they go on to portal vein embolization,
- 19:13which leads to hypertrophy of
- 19:14the left liver and the
- 19:16remainder of the disease is
- 19:18respected in a second operation.
- 19:20And this is a strategy that allows
- 19:23us to treat what can be otherwise
- 19:28completely unrespectable disease.
- 19:30So series from around the world to
- 19:32demonstrate that even for patients
- 19:34with advanced bilateral disease,
- 19:36if we can complete the two stage resection,
- 19:39we can provide patients with
- 19:41excellent long-term survival.
- 19:42There is always going to be a subset
- 19:44of patients who dropped out due to
- 19:47progression between the operations
- 19:49or in the course of therapy.
- 19:51And unfortunately,
- 19:52those folks don't do well,
- 19:54but this is a great strategy to
- 19:56get patients to the operating room.
- 20:00One of the things that I in a
- 20:02number of other surgeons that
- 20:04started to do in recent years,
- 20:06is exploit the concept of
- 20:08the R1 Vascular margin.
- 20:10This is related to the fact that there
- 20:13is going to be a subset of patients
- 20:15like this who have bulky tumors and
- 20:18the diseases in close proximity to
- 20:20a major vein or poorly pedicle.
- 20:22But it is possible if you can get a
- 20:25wide resection margin on the rest
- 20:27of it and get a very narrow margin
- 20:30that's positive only on the vein to
- 20:33get excellent local Disease Control
- 20:35in that part of the liver and still
- 20:38preserve significant liver parenchyma.
- 20:40My Friend Doctor Guido Tort
- 20:42Caelian Milano has been kind of
- 20:44the primary proponent of this,
- 20:46and I think that this is a strategy
- 20:49that is gaining traction and many
- 20:52HP be centers around the world.
- 20:55Guido and his team have reported their
- 20:58experience and one of the things that
- 21:01I think his striking is that patients
- 21:04who have you compare their survival.
- 21:07When you compare R0 resection with R1
- 21:10resection from the liver parenchyma,
- 21:13there's clearly decrement in survival.
- 21:15However,
- 21:16the group that have an R1 margin
- 21:19only on a vessel have a survival.
- 21:22It is virtually identical to
- 21:25those that are R0 resection.
- 21:27I think that this is a great example
- 21:30of a theme that we see across surgical
- 21:34oncology and multiple diseases breast cancer.
- 21:37The most notable here where we
- 21:39overtime have gone to a multi modality
- 21:42approach involving chemotherapy,
- 21:44radiation and much more limited
- 21:46surgery going from radical mastectomy
- 21:48to breast conservation.
- 21:50Now moving towards even eliminate ING the
- 21:53axle airy component of breast cancer surgery.
- 21:56Same in head and neck.
- 21:58Laryngeal preservation,
- 21:59possibly preservation of the
- 22:01rectum in Rectal carcinomas.
- 22:03Sarcomas off ajil cancer.
- 22:05The theme is consistent
- 22:07throughout integration.
- 22:08Multi modality therapy allows
- 22:10a more conservative operation,
- 22:11and I think we're getting there
- 22:15and liver cancer.
- 22:16This was one of my cases from Portland,
- 22:19not a great picture,
- 22:20but a patient who I took care of.
- 22:22You had multifocal disease in the
- 22:24upper part of the right side of
- 22:26the liver and left liver requiring
- 22:28reception down on to the hepatic
- 22:30veins and right point medical.
- 22:31Kind of a wedge resection on the left side,
- 22:34all able to do this in a single operation.
- 22:37The greatest thing about this
- 22:39is that all of these
- 22:41strategies do require multidisciplinary care.
- 22:44An integration, as I take off my
- 22:47surgeon hat and put on my CMO hat,
- 22:50all of these strategies come together
- 22:52in the fact that our aim at the
- 22:56Yale Cancer Center through both our
- 22:58care signature effort as well as
- 23:01our multidisciplinary disease teams,
- 23:03is to create a wrap around set
- 23:06of services for our patients.
- 23:08As I mentioned, it's not just liver
- 23:11surgery and medical oncology.
- 23:13An Interventional radiology.
- 23:14We need to coordinate care for
- 23:16many of these patients,
- 23:18including radiation therapy.
- 23:19Image Ng, including nuclear medicine.
- 23:22Of course, oncology, nursing,
- 23:23pathology, social work,
- 23:25our colleagues in colorectal cancer
- 23:27surgery need to be involved in genetics,
- 23:30and I think that's the promise.
- 23:32An fun of what we're doing,
- 23:35so I'd like to hand off now
- 23:38to doctor made off.
- 23:40Thank you David.
- 23:43I guess I need
- 23:44to stop my screen. Share
- 23:46my screen here.
- 23:48And.
- 23:57OK, so can you can
- 24:01you will hear me.
- 24:06Yes, we can hear you. So what I would
- 24:09first like to thank Charlie and Kevin,
- 24:11as well as my for giving me the
- 24:13opportunity today to speak at the
- 24:15El Cancer Center grand rounds.
- 24:17As you may recall,
- 24:18I didn't discuss this topic of
- 24:20liver regeneration in last December,
- 24:22but today I will be focusing on how
- 24:24these techniques relate to optimizing
- 24:25the anticipated future liver remnant
- 24:27prior to resection in patients,
- 24:29really with only colorectal liver metastases.
- 24:31Very happy to be here in terms of the
- 24:34fact that this is, like Kevin said,
- 24:36this is really in my life's.
- 24:38Work and passion and having the
- 24:41opportunity is for me very, very nice.
- 24:46So. As you just heard from Kevin,
- 24:50there have been tremendous
- 24:51advances and Pat ability.
- 24:53Every surgical techniques,
- 24:54such that death is now considered rare.
- 24:56However,
- 24:56complications such as fluid retention,
- 24:58Cola stasis,
- 24:59an impaired synthetic function still
- 25:00contribute to prolong recovery times.
- 25:02An extended hospital stays.
- 25:03This is particularly true
- 25:05instead of an extent,
- 25:06but did have a tech to me where 5 or
- 25:08more per node segments are removed,
- 25:11and in fact,
- 25:12as you can see,
- 25:13the mortality in this setting
- 25:15can approach 8 to 10%.
- 25:18This can be seen from this French study.
- 25:20There is direct correlation between
- 25:22the number of overall complications
- 25:25and the size of the liver remnant,
- 25:27and this is not in regards to the
- 25:29severity of the overall complications,
- 25:31but really only the complication rate.
- 25:34So at this time there's really
- 25:36no limit to how smaller liver in.
- 25:47In order to reduce the morbidity of Petra
- 25:51section at least 20% mushrooming in patients
- 25:54with normal underlying liver that is.
- 25:56For example, patients that have colon
- 25:58cancer Mets to the liver without ever
- 26:02having touch chemotherapy 30% in injured
- 26:04liver such as those that have had extensive
- 26:07chemotherapy or Seattle hepatitis and
- 26:1040% in those with underlying cirrhosis.
- 26:12So there's many preoperative strategies
- 26:15to prepare the liver for resection and.
- 26:18These include Portland Embolization,
- 26:19which was briefly discussed
- 26:21by Kevin radiation lobectomy.
- 26:23There's an apps procedure that will
- 26:25get into briefly and also something
- 26:28called liberties deprivation.
- 26:30Support and embolization is
- 26:32the original strategy,
- 26:33first described by professional recruiters
- 26:35group from the University of Tokyo in 1990.
- 26:37It's been used to redirect portal blood
- 26:40flow to the future liver remnant or FLR,
- 26:42and by doing so,
- 26:44initiate hypertrophy of the non embolized
- 26:46segments and by doing this we can reduce
- 26:48the number of overall perioperative
- 26:50complications and increase the pool
- 26:52of potential surgical candidates who
- 26:54have what we call marginal anticipated
- 26:56future liver remnant volumes.
- 26:57Please note that the goal is really
- 26:59not to improve the overall survival
- 27:01after resection is compared to
- 27:03those that did not require PV.
- 27:05It's just really to achieve similar
- 27:08survival rates to those patients
- 27:10who want to undergo surgery.
- 27:12It did not actually require
- 27:14PV an ultimate until recently.
- 27:16The general consensus was the PV was the
- 27:19standard of care at most had ability,
- 27:21every centers worldwide or safe
- 27:23and effective generate generation
- 27:25or generation of the FLR.
- 27:27It's now been over a decade since
- 27:30the first meta analysis of usefulness
- 27:32of PV was published,
- 27:33and in this study they would do 37
- 27:36publications with over 1000 patients
- 27:38and found a previous states with a
- 27:40low mortality and morbidity rate.
- 27:42Further,
- 27:4285% of the patients were able to
- 27:44get their proposed surgery.
- 27:46However,
- 27:46as you can see down here is that
- 27:49there was a substantial group of
- 27:51patients that were not respected
- 27:53and this was due mostly to disease
- 27:55progression or insufficient.
- 27:56I purchased it.
- 27:59I stated previously the goal of PV
- 28:01in the setting of colorectal cancer
- 28:04is to get similar survival rates to
- 28:06those patients who do not require PV.
- 28:09Here we see two actually French
- 28:11studies and pretty old.
- 28:13There actually showed where
- 28:14these outcomes were born out.
- 28:17Now PV E not only causes the
- 28:19Liberty purchase fee,
- 28:20but it also results in improved
- 28:22function of the FLR and this has
- 28:24been shown by nuclear medicine
- 28:26studies with alobar function shifted
- 28:28from the embolized than an embolism
- 28:30for after tbe further in patients
- 28:32with Hilar Cholangio Carcinoma,
- 28:33who had biliary drainage catheters more
- 28:35bile is produced in the non embolized
- 28:38bourbon in the embolized liver and Lastly.
- 28:40We can see that less alterations in liver
- 28:43function tests after resection occur
- 28:45following PV even knows in which P VE.
- 28:48Was not performed.
- 28:49So for decades CT has been the
- 28:51cornerstone for surgical planning and
- 28:53when assessing the FL are we do our
- 28:57calculations based only on the size of
- 28:59the liver. Remaining siti does directly
- 29:01measure the future liver remnant and the
- 29:04total liver volume is not actually measured,
- 29:06but rather it's estimated from
- 29:08the Association between the
- 29:09liver and patient size.
- 29:11And this is based on body waiting patients,
- 29:14body surface area or a larger
- 29:16patient would need a large deliver.
- 29:18Smaller patient may need a smaller liver.
- 29:20The FL R2 total estimated liver volume
- 29:23ratio can then allow for uniform comparison.
- 29:25Adefa lower volume parts of resection,
- 29:27whether or not PVE was performed.
- 29:29And this is the formula which is
- 29:31based on a linear regression equation
- 29:33from over 500 Western adults.
- 29:35It's critical to understand the
- 29:37denominator does not change on the pre
- 29:40and post CT scans because it is an estimate.
- 29:42One must realize that PV E does cause
- 29:45atrophy of the emboli segments that
- 29:47there have been cases where the total
- 29:49liver volume is directly measured.
- 29:51And went down after PV E.
- 29:53Therefore,
- 29:54even if the numerator is unchanged, the FL,
- 29:57our percentage may inadvertently increase,
- 29:59giving once a false sense of
- 30:01belief that hypertrophy did occur.
- 30:03And unfortunately patients have died
- 30:05after surgery when this happens.
- 30:07So if we look at this patient with
- 30:10colorectal liver metastases here
- 30:12we see approximately 4 weeks later
- 30:15that the FLR grew from 17 to 30%
- 30:18or degree of hypertrophy of 13%.
- 30:20This patient also had.
- 30:21Kinetic growth rate of 3.5%,
- 30:23which is a good indicator and this
- 30:26will be discussed in much more
- 30:28detail in a little bit.
- 30:32In recent years,
- 30:32there's actually been controversy as
- 30:34to be appropriate limit for resection,
- 30:36and this may depend on the institution
- 30:39and the formula being used.
- 30:40In Europe, for example, therapies
- 30:42uses the cut off for the need for pbe.
- 30:45That said, we showed during my time at MD
- 30:47Anderson there statistically significant
- 30:49differences in outcome, whether it
- 30:51be from liver insufficiency or death.
- 30:53If you have less than percent, FL are,
- 30:56however, no differences were found.
- 30:57Once you had more than 20%
- 30:59of your FL are remaining.
- 31:02And further,
- 31:03we wanted to see the impact of
- 31:05PV in the patient population
- 31:07in this patient population.
- 31:08We found that in those patients
- 31:10that had at least 20%,
- 31:12meaning that they already either
- 31:14had 20% not requiring PV or had 20%,
- 31:17and in those days we did it
- 31:19with a higher environment to see
- 31:21if there was any difference,
- 31:23and we compared them to those patients
- 31:25who had less than 20% and actually had
- 31:28at least 20% and did not require PV,
- 31:31E and compared them to those also that.
- 31:34And did not have 20% and needed PV E.
- 31:37And we found that as long as the
- 31:39patient after PV at least 20%
- 31:42of the future liver remnant,
- 31:43it really was no difference in
- 31:47what happened after resection.
- 31:49So we talked about the brief
- 31:50hypertrophy a little earlier.
- 31:52So what is the degree of purchasing?
- 31:54Well,
- 31:54it's the post PV efl R minus the pre
- 31:56PV EOFLR which gives you a dynamic
- 31:58measure of liver regeneration and
- 32:00this is important because there
- 32:02is an amount of high purchase that
- 32:04is necessary to review.
- 32:05If you have complications in our study
- 32:07published in MD Anderson in 2007,
- 32:09you can see that those patients
- 32:11that have more than 5% degree if I
- 32:13purchase he had significantly less
- 32:15complications that had more than 5% FL.
- 32:17So here we have a tale of two rivers,
- 32:21one patient with Cirrhosis,
- 32:22and HTC who underwent a right
- 32:25hip attacked me,
- 32:26the other with colorectal liver
- 32:27metastases and only had 5% steatosis
- 32:30who underwent an extended right.
- 32:31He protected me here.
- 32:33We see that the cirrhotic patient
- 32:35had excellent hypertrophy,
- 32:36while the other patient had only 1% growth.
- 32:39Interesting Lee, the cirrhotic patient,
- 32:41did well after surgery,
- 32:42while the patient that had the
- 32:44normal liver or what we thought was
- 32:47a pretty normal liver actually.
- 32:49Died after their reception.
- 32:50Therefore,
- 32:51if we see that you can use these
- 32:53numbers to see that patients that
- 32:55have at least 20% FLR and at least 5%
- 32:59degree of hypertrophy had a zero percent,
- 33:0190 day mortality.
- 33:02And like I said,
- 33:04this information can be used when
- 33:06trying to understand whether a
- 33:08patient should be indicated for
- 33:09their reception after PV.
- 33:11So now that we know the floor cut
- 33:14off numbers that is 20% for normal liver,
- 33:1630% for injured liver from chemotherapy and.
- 33:1940% for Cirrhosis,
- 33:20and we know that if I purchased the 5%,
- 33:23is this enough to really be able
- 33:25to predict which
- 33:26patients should have their surgeries?
- 33:28So we now know that we've had
- 33:31purchase fees based on the timing
- 33:33of the image Ng and that a true
- 33:35assessment of the epilogue growth is
- 33:38difficult to compare among patients.
- 33:40Therefore, we developed a new variable
- 33:42called the kinetic growth rate or KJR,
- 33:45which is the degree of hypertrophy
- 33:47over the time elapsed from
- 33:49PV E in the number of weeks.
- 33:52So here we see three patients
- 33:54with colorectal liver metastases,
- 33:55each with a degree of hypertrophy,
- 33:57well within the amount needed for successful,
- 34:00safer section.
- 34:01However, the patient on the bottom actually
- 34:03died from liver failure after section,
- 34:05so we went back and reviewed the cases
- 34:08and found that the time for the first 2
- 34:11patients with 35 days to get these results,
- 34:13while we found that the patient had died,
- 34:16it actually occurred in 70 days.
- 34:18So when we went back and calculated
- 34:20the kinetic growth rate,
- 34:22the patient that I had only
- 34:241 zero point 3% per week,
- 34:26while the other two had
- 34:29much higher growth rates.
- 34:31Therefore, when assessing patients
- 34:32which should have surgery,
- 34:34we found that in order to really be safe,
- 34:38that we really need 2% per week.
- 34:41That led to know hepatic
- 34:43insufficiency or 90 day mortality.
- 34:46So,
- 34:46is Kevin stated earlier we can now
- 34:48extend the boundaries for safer section
- 34:50by using advanced surgical strategies
- 34:52such as the two stage protecting
- 34:54me like for this pain titlebar,
- 34:56colon article, living metastases,
- 34:58patient first had systemic
- 34:59chemotherapy with excellent response,
- 35:00then had surgery to clear
- 35:02the left lateral liver.
- 35:03The FL,
- 35:04our volumes were calculated
- 35:05to be 16% of PV was performed,
- 35:08and then FLR was then found to be 26%.
- 35:11So the definitive resection
- 35:13was then performed.
- 35:14So to assess the benefit of
- 35:16the two stage separate ectomy,
- 35:18we reviewed patients who had
- 35:20invented the advanced strategy
- 35:21with extended pack resection and
- 35:23compared those those that did not
- 35:25have tumor in their FL are therefore
- 35:27not really needing second stage.
- 35:28Our results had shown that there
- 35:30was no difference in overall and
- 35:32disease free survival in those
- 35:34patients that required the two stage
- 35:36protect me as compared with those
- 35:38that only required the one stage.
- 35:40And as Kevin showed from our study from
- 35:43MD Anderson in a really highly selected.
- 35:45And she cohort who did complete
- 35:47the second stage.
- 35:48We were able to achieve a
- 35:5060% five year survival,
- 35:51which is really considered amazing.
- 35:53Anything about a decade ago given to
- 35:56buy Alobar nature of the disease.
- 35:59However,
- 35:59there is some concerns regarding team
- 36:01be one of the major concerns is the
- 36:04potential drop out of up to 35% of
- 36:06patients due to an insufficient FL
- 36:08are or or tumor progression within
- 36:10the four to six week waiting period
- 36:13from the TV to the definitive resection.
- 36:15Therefore,
- 36:16other approaches are needed.
- 36:18So one.
- 36:18Issue that has been entertained
- 36:21has been that PV can lead to
- 36:24expedited tumor growth,
- 36:25so to that end the recent
- 36:27data supports that we
- 36:28can use chemotherapy during the
- 36:29waiting period and also can be used
- 36:32within the postoperative period
- 36:33which at one time was thought to
- 36:35maybe limit for generation. However,
- 36:37that has not borne out to be the case.
- 36:40So there are other alternative
- 36:42approaches that we can use.
- 36:44It is Interventional radiologist.
- 36:46This is a case.
- 36:47This is a study that was performed
- 36:49from Korea where TV did not leave
- 36:52the sufficient regeneration.
- 36:54Anna Korean group found that
- 36:55later performing right,
- 36:56having bane embolization in
- 36:58addition to the PV is shown here
- 37:01actually result in better outcomes.
- 37:03We've also used something
- 37:05called radiation lobectomy.
- 37:06This is done by the Transarterial Bar
- 37:09Administration of Y-90 microparticles.
- 37:11She's now an established means
- 37:13of providing local tumor control
- 37:15within the liver.
- 37:16That said,
- 37:17there was an unintended phenomenon
- 37:19of contralateral liver I8 and seven
- 37:21in several retrospective studies.
- 37:23Contralateral hypertrophy?
- 37:24A curd from 21 to 47%,
- 37:26and therefore this has been suggested
- 37:29as an alternative to PV with the
- 37:32benefit of local tumor control.
- 37:33And the test of time.
- 37:36So we had talked about this earlier,
- 37:38but nuclear medicine is showing
- 37:41improved liver function after PV E
- 37:43in this small study of 13 patients,
- 37:45with some being colorectal liver
- 37:47metastases who underwent some
- 37:49nuclear medicine scintigraphy.
- 37:50They showed that using radiation
- 37:52lobectomy actually can cause
- 37:54changes in regional liver function,
- 37:56and this correlated with the functional
- 37:58liver absorbed doses from Y-90
- 38:01and pack and then in 2014 a group
- 38:03from France compared 141 patients
- 38:05who underwent right PV with third.
- 38:0835 patients who underwent radiation
- 38:10lobectomy at two centers that were
- 38:12matched for criterion known to
- 38:15influence liver regeneration after PVD.
- 38:17The radiation was performed if the authors
- 38:19found the case would be challenging,
- 38:21provid PB and to be honest,
- 38:23I'm not sure why this would be,
- 38:26but when they match the patients they found
- 38:28significantly more hypertrophy after PV.
- 38:30They concluded that while the hyper
- 38:32chicken radiation lobectomy substantial
- 38:33and doesn't minimize tumor progression,
- 38:35PV can induce significantly greater,
- 38:36and I purchased the in radiation
- 38:38lobectomy with these therapeutic doses.
- 38:40So how do you decide if you should
- 38:42use PV or radiation lobectomy?
- 38:44The decision should be based
- 38:46on achievement intent,
- 38:47such as.
- 38:48Is the patient a candidate for section
- 38:50now and what is the plan resection if
- 38:52the reception should be done now you
- 38:55should just go ahead and perform the P PE.
- 38:57You also need to know what type of
- 38:59malignancy patient has and whether the
- 39:01patient has underlying liver disease.
- 39:03Cases where patients have bottle
- 39:05bar colorectal metastases that
- 39:06require a Tuesday check.
- 39:08Her protect me.
- 39:08There is likely really no
- 39:10role for radiation lobectomy,
- 39:11as you can see,
- 39:12I'm personally not in favor of the
- 39:15radiation lobectomy in this approach,
- 39:17as you would really need to do 190 of
- 39:19both lobes and it seems appropriate
- 39:21in the setting of HTC with cirrhosis.
- 39:24But I don't think it really is
- 39:26appropriate in the setting of
- 39:28colorectal liver metastasis.
- 39:30Another approach is Alps,
- 39:31which is short for associating liver
- 39:33partition and portal vein ligation.
- 39:35This approach was proposed to
- 39:36replace pbe with two surgeries.
- 39:38He performed interactive right
- 39:39portal vein ligation followed
- 39:41by completely divest arising.
- 39:42Segment four of the liver and
- 39:44at the same session is surgeon
- 39:46clears the floor of tumor.
- 39:48The patient is then closed with
- 39:50the tumor bearing liver in place,
- 39:52while the FLL rapidly have Portuguese
- 39:54and then the Sturgeon returns within
- 39:567 to 10 days for a second laparotomy
- 39:58to complete the definitive resection.
- 40:00And early reports actually
- 40:01showed very strong tumor growth.
- 40:03I mean, fellow growth and was believed to
- 40:06have a lower risk for tumor progression.
- 40:09That being said,
- 40:10when comparing PV 2 apps that were
- 40:12the massive infest or hypertrophy
- 40:14in the Alps Group,
- 40:15but it came at a much higher cost
- 40:18of major complications and death.
- 40:20Interestingly,
- 40:21while the kinetic growth rate
- 40:22was found to be higher electron
- 40:25microscopy studies from Japan showed
- 40:27that the hepatocytes were not mature
- 40:29and not really able to handle the
- 40:31increased blood flow to the FL are.
- 40:33Therefore,
- 40:34it was shown that it is not simply
- 40:36regenerating the liver rapidly,
- 40:38but also in a way that allows
- 40:40the hepatocytes maturan function
- 40:41appropriately so interesting.
- 40:43Lee,
- 40:43a systematic review and meta
- 40:45analysis for colorectal liver
- 40:46metastases was performed,
- 40:47confirming the findings of the faster
- 40:49kinetic growth rate with Alps.
- 40:51But with the increased morbidity
- 40:53and mortality.
- 40:53So for this reason numerous
- 40:55modifications have been proposed,
- 40:57many of which negated distinct advantages
- 40:59of why Alps was proposed in the 1st place.
- 41:02And Lastly,
- 41:03I want to show a new procedure,
- 41:05one that we will now be using it Yale,
- 41:09while while I already showed sequential
- 41:11PV into Patty being embolization,
- 41:13Liberty is deprivation is performing PV.
- 41:15And how do you been embolization
- 41:17in a single session?
- 41:18The goal is to shorten and optimize
- 41:21the phase of liver preparation.
- 41:23Or surgery without the
- 41:24aggressive nature of Alps,
- 41:26and in this early
- 41:27feasibility study from 2016,
- 41:28the procedure was found to be safe
- 41:31and feasible in a small patient
- 41:33cohort of only seven patients,
- 41:35and then the same group then added
- 41:37embolization of the middle of having pain
- 41:39to the right hepatic vein embolization,
- 41:41and they found that by doing so
- 41:43they can get safe and provide the
- 41:46most marketing rapid elevation in
- 41:48hypertrophy and liver function.
- 41:49Unprecedented for an IR procedure,
- 41:51and just soon Kevin and I will
- 41:53be the Copia eyes.
- 41:55Or yell prospective clinical trial.
- 41:57Looking at Libertines deprivation
- 41:58called Dragon One and Dragon 2
- 42:00dragon one is a feasibility study,
- 42:02and Dragon 2 actually will compare it
- 42:05to the standard of care which is PV.
- 42:08So in conclusion,
- 42:09liver regeneration is critical to
- 42:11managing colorectal liver metastases,
- 42:12and, as I hope to have shown,
- 42:15there are numerous strategies
- 42:16that can regenerate the liver,
- 42:18either percutaneously or by surgical means.
- 42:20Currently,
- 42:21the understanding of Liberal generation
- 42:22in this area is really at its infancy.
- 42:25Any apples opportunities do
- 42:27exist for research,
- 42:27so I'm looking forward to
- 42:29working with your team and
- 42:31looking forward working with
- 42:32Kevin on this dragon study and
- 42:34thank you for your attention.
- 42:36Thank you David, that was awesome.
- 42:44Thanks bikini.
- 42:49Kevin David, can you stop
- 42:51sharing? OK, stop the sharing here, yeah?
- 42:56Alright, so I'm Michael Cicchini.
- 42:59I'm a medical Oncologist and
- 43:02I'm going to talk about the chemotherapy
- 43:06in the Peri operative management of these
- 43:10liver metastases for colorectal cancer.
- 43:14So first I'm going to talk
- 43:18about the molecular profiling.
- 43:20That's important to decide.
- 43:22Chemotherapy agents as well as sightedness,
- 43:25which is not truly molecular
- 43:27profiling but certainly hasn't
- 43:29impacted the chemotherapy selection.
- 43:31The two types of patients we encounter,
- 43:34the unrespectable patiently up respectable
- 43:37biologics and then some of the damage
- 43:41our agents can do that can complicate
- 43:43the role of complicated surgery so.
- 43:46Molecular profiling for colorectal cancer.
- 43:48What information do I really need to
- 43:50know to make a chemotherapy decision?
- 43:52Wrap the grass in the raft status
- 43:54are very important and they have
- 43:56been so for some time mismatch
- 43:58repair status microsatellite status,
- 44:00which is analogous to that and
- 44:02then the sightedness has become
- 44:04increasingly important for determining
- 44:05determining which biologic to use.
- 44:07So the origin of the primary tumor was at
- 44:10a left sided tumor or right sided tumors.
- 44:13So to remind ourselves why Rasen
- 44:15rap status is so important.
- 44:17We need to go back to the EGFR pathway.
- 44:20So EGFR here in this purple
- 44:22is upstream of crowds.
- 44:24B RAF MEK Erk.
- 44:25So in our ask mutated cancer
- 44:27or at mutated cancer.
- 44:29This is this pathways constituently activated
- 44:31below the level of the ship receptor.
- 44:34We have drugs syntax Mammon,
- 44:36Panitumumab two monoclonal antibodies
- 44:37to target EGFR receptor that we add on
- 44:40to chemotherapy, so they're effective.
- 44:42If this pathway is not constituent active,
- 44:45blow it.
- 44:46So in a rash wild.
- 44:47I porra filetype we add on
- 44:52Panitumumab Humanized Monoclonal
- 44:54Antibody an and or so or sucks Mad A.
- 44:58A chimeric antibody,
- 44:59but for the patients that are
- 45:02mutated in rats,
- 45:02we have to take a different approach.
- 45:05So bad this is mab.
- 45:07Kevin talked about a little bit
- 45:09to monoclonal monoclonal antibody
- 45:10against veg that Jeff Vascular
- 45:12endothelial growth factor,
- 45:13and that's also added on to chemotherapy
- 45:15be Rapids become important just
- 45:17in the last couple of years.
- 45:19Now we have targeted agents for
- 45:21that and Grafton if insta tox mad,
- 45:24but for the Intents and purposes
- 45:26of this stock graph is used as
- 45:28a negative prognostic.
- 45:29Mutation and most of those
- 45:31patients are not can be included
- 45:32in the consideration of surgery.
- 45:34So why is the mismatch repair
- 45:36status so important?
- 45:37So to answer that,
- 45:39we first have to remember what
- 45:40mismatch repair proteins do.
- 45:42So Emily age 1:00 PM S 2 Ms H2, and six.
- 45:46These are the four most most clinically
- 45:48relevant mismatch repair proteins.
- 45:50Their function is to follow
- 45:51the DNA polymerase machine DNA
- 45:53polymerase machinery along as it
- 45:55undoubtedly makes some mistakes.
- 45:56It fixed these these single base mismatches,
- 45:59which are most prevalent in these areas,
- 46:01called microsatellites,
- 46:02which are dynamically Titan tribe
- 46:04nucleotide repeats across the genome.
- 46:05You can imagine this DNA machinery.
- 46:07It's really caught up on
- 46:09all this repetitive DNA.
- 46:10Lots of mistakes are made so
- 46:12we know when these are lost.
- 46:13Tumors have very high tumor
- 46:15mutational burden that which leads
- 46:16to a lot of Neoantigens.
- 46:18We've known for some time that these
- 46:19are some of the most sensitive cancers
- 46:21to immunostimulatory therapies such
- 46:23as anti PD one and four therapies.
- 46:25So they've been approved in the refractory
- 46:27setting for you for a few years but
- 46:30only recently just a few months ago.
- 46:32Did we get to see their activity
- 46:34in the first line setting?
- 46:35You can see very dramatic separation
- 46:37of these two curves here.
- 46:39Green being Pember Lizum app,
- 46:40purple being the chemo arm for a first line.
- 46:43Microsatellite instability.
- 46:43High collector cancer.
- 46:44I mean if we look at the two year mark here,
- 46:47you're seeing 48% of patients that
- 46:49are microsatellite instability,
- 46:50higher progression, free and alive.
- 46:52At at two years versus only 19% with chemo.
- 46:54But for today's top,
- 46:55what's really important to look?
- 46:57Actually look at this part
- 46:58of the curve on the far left,
- 47:01because that's where anybody
- 47:02that's going to surgery would be.
- 47:04Maybe early on in their treatment journey
- 47:06and you can actually see Pembroke behavior.
- 47:09A bit more inferior to chemotherapy.
- 47:11In this setting in a very rapid drop off,
- 47:14even with Pam bro,
- 47:16which obviously has a tail on this curve.
- 47:18So immunotherapy in the new edge
- 47:20of insteading for somebody that's
- 47:22initially resectable, for example,
- 47:23is definitely not ready for prime time.
- 47:26And I think future directions will
- 47:28certainly be chemo immunotherapy,
- 47:29and hopefully will negate some
- 47:31of the early drop off.
- 47:32Why is sightedness important?
- 47:34So we've known for some time
- 47:36that high and got the left sided
- 47:38Colon is a different embryologic.
- 47:40Origin in the right right colon so
- 47:42hindgut for left and got for right.
- 47:44Right sided tumors generally worse prognosis,
- 47:46more methylated tumors,
- 47:47higher beer after some degree.
- 47:49Higher crass and left side it more
- 47:51than more traditional APC mutations
- 47:53in TP 53 mutations and we know
- 47:55that even if your rash wild type,
- 47:57it matters whether or not you
- 47:59respond to a EGFR antibodies such
- 48:01as anti tumor map or cetuximab.
- 48:03So it's really the rash wildtype left
- 48:05sided tumors that we're thinking about
- 48:07using these drugs in the first line setting.
- 48:10And even if rash while typing right
- 48:12sided data SIM it at this is a
- 48:15map should still be considered.
- 48:17So what are the drugs that we have
- 48:20at our disposal to help these
- 48:22patients so full Fox?
- 48:24We've probably all heard full box,
- 48:26full fury, full Fox series.
- 48:28And when we use in pancreatic cancer here,
- 48:31full fear knocks,
- 48:32but they're slightly different approaches.
- 48:34So what is folfox?
- 48:35So five fluoro uracil,
- 48:37which is patented by Charlie Heidelberger.
- 48:39I think in 1957 and is still
- 48:41around and going strong.
- 48:43Is a family space inhibitor so
- 48:45you don't have time to look
- 48:47around for rapidly dividing cells.
- 48:49Luca born potentiates the activity
- 48:51of five FU.
- 48:52It's a vitamin that we give
- 48:54along with the chemotherapy.
- 48:55Oxaliplatin is the oxen in full box,
- 48:58and that's in platinum agent that causes
- 49:00DNA addicts and ultimately results in
- 49:02double stranded breaks and are in Attican,
- 49:05which is the IRI. In full fury is.
- 49:08Ultimately converted into its active form.
- 49:09About summarize, one inhibitor,
- 49:11SN 38 and ultimately also end
- 49:12result is double stranded breaks,
- 49:14so these are the main agents we have.
- 49:16We started out again with just
- 49:185F U and this is about what we
- 49:21were doing back in the early 90s,
- 49:23so we had about a median survival of 12
- 49:25year for patients with mosaic answer.
- 49:27When we started to have doublet
- 49:29chemotherapy's in full box and full theory,
- 49:31we move this out about the two year mark.
- 49:34Now we're really between the two and three,
- 49:36or mark or median overall survival.
- 49:38For most, for most of our active trials
- 49:41with colorectal cancer with folfox theory,
- 49:43the triple combination that's a bit more
- 49:45toxic and reserved for younger patients
- 49:48is about a 32 month median survival,
- 49:50so we have to ask ourselves at tumor board,
- 49:53what does this patient have it with?
- 49:55Cash pathway to cure?
- 49:56So what our main goals with chemotherapy?
- 49:59We've heard a little bit
- 50:01about conversion therapy,
- 50:02so converting the unrespectable
- 50:03patient to a respectable patient.
- 50:05If we have a patient that's upfront,
- 50:07resectable chemotherapy can still be
- 50:08useful to reduce the surgical complexity.
- 50:11Eradicate micrometastatic disease,
- 50:12which is also hopefully doing for
- 50:14the unrespectable patient and then
- 50:15also assess the biology of the
- 50:17aggressiveness of the disease.
- 50:19Is somebody actually getting a
- 50:20response through chemotherapy,
- 50:21or they just rapidly progressing?
- 50:23That's not a patient you want
- 50:25to surgery anyway,
- 50:26and if we know that even in the best
- 50:28of circumstances the patients never
- 50:30going to get to a surgical option
- 50:33that the treatment is prolonging life,
- 50:35hopefully by controlling disease in
- 50:37improving tumor related symptoms,
- 50:38so we should think about this as two groups,
- 50:41the unrespectable patient.
- 50:42And the resectable patients.
- 50:43So the upfront receptable patient and
- 50:45just there's no right way to integrate
- 50:48chemotherapy into these patients.
- 50:50By the way,
- 50:51different centers take different approaches,
- 50:53but there's more nuanced than
- 50:55just this slide.
- 50:56But when to consider a front reception?
- 50:59Generally, for fewer liver metastasis,
- 51:00chemotherapy response?
- 51:01Not really.
- 51:02The surgeon doesn't really think
- 51:04chemotherapy response is going to
- 51:06lower the complexity of the operation.
- 51:08But when do we do it when there's more
- 51:11than four suspicious knodel involvement?
- 51:13My Liberty disease.
- 51:14But again, there's more nuanced to this,
- 51:16so we have to we have to take everything.
- 51:19Every aspect of the patient into account.
- 51:21Do they have a lot of other comorbidities?
- 51:24Where if they if they are not
- 51:26tolerating chemotherapy well,
- 51:26we're expecting significant increase
- 51:28in liver liver damage,
- 51:29which could complicate in operation?
- 51:30Is there reason to suspect that
- 51:32they have particularly aggressive
- 51:34disease and you want to give him the
- 51:36tincture of time on chemotherapy to
- 51:38make sure they're not just rapidly
- 51:39progressing and you're going to put
- 51:41them through an unnecessary operation?
- 51:43Did they recently received full Fox for?
- 51:45For management of primary primary,
- 51:48so could a slight response results
- 51:52in maybe converting an
- 51:54open reception to a laprascopic reception.
- 51:59So what, what chemotherapy do
- 52:00we typically use? So again,
- 52:02these are patients that could be respected,
- 52:04most likely, so full Fox,
- 52:05a doublet chemotherapy,
- 52:06perhaps with the biologic bevacizumab
- 52:07panitumumab receptors amount,
- 52:08but the important part is to limit the
- 52:10number of chemo cycles as much as possible.
- 52:13These patients that can get to surgery
- 52:15quickly and should get to surgery quickly,
- 52:17and we want to do as little
- 52:18damage is possible to the to
- 52:20the liver without chemotherapy.
- 52:22So we should image patients early and
- 52:23as soon as thought as soon as feasible.
- 52:26These patients should be taken into surgery.
- 52:28We generally plan to do six
- 52:30months total of chemotherapy.
- 52:31But the rest would be reserved for later.
- 52:33So what about the unresectable patient?
- 52:34Now this patient can't get this
- 52:36surgery without a response,
- 52:37so it's a different.
- 52:38It's a different approach,
- 52:39so we talked a little bit about
- 52:41what is undetectable.
- 52:42But so,
- 52:43how likely is this understandable
- 52:44patient going to get going to
- 52:46be able to get an operation?
- 52:47Perhaps as high as a third 1/3
- 52:49of the time that we will get
- 52:51enough cited reduction to convert
- 52:52this patient to respectable?
- 52:54But what regiment is best?
- 52:55Again, if you look at guidelines,
- 52:57both guidelines are very so.
- 52:58The guidelines don't really
- 52:59take much of a stand.
- 53:01They say Folfox Folfiri Anna tumor map.
- 53:03But this is a mad.
- 53:04They kind of leave it up to the
- 53:07treating oncologists asthma.
- 53:08On the other hand,
- 53:09takes a more dogmatic approach.
- 53:10It says full flux is the recommendation
- 53:12or for unresectable metastases.
- 53:14Considerable Fox series,
- 53:15so that's that's the approach
- 53:16that we would take here,
- 53:18predominantly in the United States
- 53:19that most most centers would do.
- 53:21But certainly here at Yale
- 53:23for the younger fit patients,
- 53:24we would be for an unrespectable patient.
- 53:26We would do full foxy reefer.
- 53:28This is a map, but for our upfront,
- 53:30resectable patients we would
- 53:32again just be doing a doublet.
- 53:33So I'm going to skip through
- 53:35this in the interest of time,
- 53:37especially since Kevin showed
- 53:39some of the slides are ready.
- 53:41So what about our biologics?
- 53:42So this is another level of nuance.
- 53:45Again, to do our chemotherapy here.
- 53:47So we have.
- 53:48We have agents such as bad.
- 53:50This is a map which is a vascular
- 53:52endothelial growth factor antibody
- 53:53against speculative growth factor,
- 53:55which is created by the tumors and
- 53:57stimulates blood vessel growth.
- 53:58Because the tumor needs
- 54:00increased vascularity,
- 54:00so we know that bevacizumab
- 54:02increases response rates,
- 54:03but it can potentially increase
- 54:05perioperative complications.
- 54:05We see vascular events such as
- 54:07such as arterial thrombi, Venus,
- 54:09thrombi, on occasion perforations,
- 54:11but the big concern is wound healing,
- 54:13so we generally would hold
- 54:15bevacizumab within six weeks
- 54:16prior to any server dream.
- 54:18There is some data that supports it
- 54:20up to four weeks prior to surgery,
- 54:23but but the concern is how you
- 54:25when you hold it preoperatively.
- 54:28So this is actually been looked at.
- 54:30The addition of bevacizumab in systemic
- 54:32therapy for unresectable liver metastasis.
- 54:34So we have a cohort of patients
- 54:36here split up into two groups.
- 54:38These are all kras mutated
- 54:40patients or patients that are
- 54:42perfect fit for bevacizumab.
- 54:43So full blocks plus bevacizumab
- 54:45in arm a in Folfox alone.
- 54:47In R&B you can see that the reception,
- 54:50the rate of R0 Resection complete resection,
- 54:5222 verses about 6% without
- 54:54the berbasis matters so very,
- 54:56very big difference about
- 54:57getting to surgery there.
- 54:58What about progression free survival 9 1/2
- 55:01months median versus about 5 1/2 months
- 55:03median favoring Bevis is maben blue here.
- 55:05Same thing with overall survival.
- 55:07Less less striking difference
- 55:08about 25 versus 20 months.
- 55:10Both are statistically significant.
- 55:11So bad this is a map should be used
- 55:14in the Peri operative management with
- 55:16Folfox 4 correct meeting liver metastases.
- 55:18What about the EGFR antibody face?
- 55:20These are highly effective therapies for
- 55:22patients that are crashed while type.
- 55:24You think you think we see a
- 55:26similar a similar story here.
- 55:28In fact, we're.
- 55:29In exact opposite, so again,
- 55:31we have two groups here.
- 55:34This is a new epoch study,
- 55:36split into chemotherapy,
- 55:38perioperatively before and
- 55:39after surgery with cetuximab,
- 55:41an without stuck some,
- 55:42and so without cytoxan map is here in blue.
- 55:46Progression free survival curve
- 55:47here so you can see the red group
- 55:50chemotherapy plastic doing inferior
- 55:51to the chemotherapy alone group.
- 55:53Same thing with overall survival.
- 55:55What's really interesting?
- 55:56If you look at these curves,
- 55:58these are these are the Times of surgery,
- 56:00so this curve have not separated.
- 56:02They separate later.
- 56:04An obvious explanation to this
- 56:05oh would be an awesome app.
- 56:07Is creating some increase in
- 56:09perioperative complications?
- 56:09But that's not the case and the fact
- 56:12that the changes in progression free
- 56:14and overall survival happened later
- 56:16again speaks to. They did that.
- 56:18It's not an actual increase
- 56:19in proper complications.
- 56:21Frankly,
- 56:21I haven't seen any good explanation
- 56:23for why this we're seeing these
- 56:25these these confusing results,
- 56:27but I think we should proceed with
- 56:29caution when using our bodies
- 56:31in the perioperative setting.
- 56:32I think a lot of my colleagues
- 56:35have not bought into this,
- 56:37and I again uncertain on the
- 56:39rest of the biological rationale
- 56:41of why we're seeing this,
- 56:42but it's a very striking
- 56:44overall survival difference.
- 56:45It's almost three years.
- 56:47Median overall survival
- 56:48difference without the antibody.
- 56:49So chemotherapy associated
- 56:50liver diseases will close on
- 56:52South are drugs can do damage.
- 56:54That's why the name that our approach is to
- 56:57limit the number of cycles when feasible,
- 56:59so Oxaliplatin,
- 57:00cut static sinusoidal abnormalities.
- 57:01You can see the dilations here in
- 57:03light of these sinusoids that directly
- 57:05from oxide Platt and you can see
- 57:07nodular regenerative hyperplasia.
- 57:09This, like lighter pink nodule here.
- 57:11Crowding out the more healthy
- 57:13liver tissue here,
- 57:14which creates noncirrhotic portal
- 57:15hypertension, both from Oxaliplatin,
- 57:17where Uniti Concuss.
- 57:18Seattle hepatitis so fatty fatty
- 57:19infiltration and inflammation of the liver.
- 57:21Here very severe case,
- 57:22and the less of your case.
- 57:24But frankly there shouldn't be fact.
- 57:25Neither of these images.
- 57:27So in in conclusion,
- 57:29we took the talked about the
- 57:30importance of molecular results.
- 57:31Those are things that need to be
- 57:33sent on every patient so that the
- 57:35medical oncologist can know what
- 57:37treatment approach should be done.
- 57:38The role of sightedness,
- 57:39our approach to the unrespectable
- 57:41in the upfront respectable,
- 57:42and some of the damage our agents can do.
- 57:45Thank you so much.
- 57:49Michael, thank you for high speed yet
- 57:54incredibly comprehensive overview of
- 57:58rapidly evolving and complicated field and.
- 58:03David, I want to thank you as well.
- 58:07Given the time, I don't think we have much
- 58:11leftover for discussion, I would just.
- 58:14Close by saying that this is an
- 58:18incredibly exciting field to work in,
- 58:21I think the overview that my partners
- 58:25have given gives the audience a
- 58:28sense of the enormous complexity yet
- 58:31opportunity involved for our patients.
- 58:34And I think for all of us who work together,
- 58:37it is yet another call.
- 58:39For an extraordinary level of teamwork,
- 58:42integration, communication,
- 58:43all of these clinical services have to be
- 58:48linked together by meticulous communication
- 58:50between us is clinicians as well as
- 58:54our nurses and administrative Staffs.
- 58:56As we kind of navigate care
- 59:00throughout a very complex system.
- 59:03Charlie, anything to add.
- 59:04Oh, I just want to thank David,
- 59:07Michael and Kevin for really
- 59:09just a brilliant discussion.
- 59:10And thank you for your leadership,
- 59:12your collaboration and building a
- 59:14team around a pivotal area of care,
- 59:17research and thanks everyone for joining
- 59:19us and think giving us a lot to think
- 59:23about and really exciting progress.
