Colon Cancer: stage II

In clinical practice stage II patients will receive adjuvant CT only if “high-risk”, according to clinico-pathological criteria 2016 emerging biological criteria: CDX2 (Malerba et al, NEJM, January 21) Immunoscore (Galon et al, ASCO) Circulating DNA (Tie et al, ASCO) Any of them ready for prime time ? NOT YET

Colon Cancer: stage III

• FOLFOX or XELOX for 6 months will remain the standard treatment for patients up to 70 (75) years

• Oxaliplatin benefit confined to a single subtype? (Pogue-Geile, ASCO 2016)

• In elderly patients: fluoropyrimidine alone is still an acceptable choice

• Duration COULD decrease to 3 months (IDEA data expected in 2017), with better tolerability (TOSCA, IDEA France, ACHIEVE)

Rectal Cancer In preoperative setting: fluoropyrimidine alone (capecitabine or 5FU) will remain the standard, without a clear role for oxaliplatin (STAR, ASCO 2016) In postoperative setting: adjuvant chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine + oxaliplatin) will be more frequently used in clinical practice (see also: Expert Discussion at WCG IC 2015) Through better neoadjuvant treatment: more sphincter saving surgery Biological/genomic characterization: not ready for use

Barbara Moss Chair EPAG, EuropaColon

Page 17: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

Every cancer patient has a journey........

Page 18: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

I was now fully involved in my cancer journey

Being informed gave me the

opportunity to work with my

doctor.

Page 19: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

How do we see empowerment?

Our vision is to see patients….

• as joint partners in their care and treatment

• to be self-aware and health-aware

• to participate in decision making if they wish

• to be recognised by clinicians as a key partner in care

What could make a difference to other patients?

Page 20: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

Empowerment is intangible.

It helps us to keep control of our lives

Patients and caregivers should be helped with suitable knowledge

Patient groups should monitor and support change

Patient Empowerment is a Process

Page 21: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

What needs to change?

Let me know if

you want to

know why I am

here

Page 22: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

We should design care around patient needs

Only the patient sees the whole journey

Services that meet the needs of patients require the patient to be involved

A healthcare system for the patient…WITH the patient

And patient organisations to be involved at higher and policy level

Page 23: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

How many more people can we encourage to stand up?

Page 24: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

Thank you

BRAF (V600E) mutated CRC

• Small population:

– 8-10% early stage

– 4-5% late stage

• BRAF V600E mutations as a biomarker?

– very poor prognosis in late stage (mCRC)

– no clear prognostic effect in early stage

– predictive: negative predictive effect for anti-EGFR MoAbs in some studies:

• Cetuximab: refractory (European cons.)1,2 & first-line setting (CRYSTAL study)3

• Panitumumab: 2nd line setting (PICCOLO study)4

• No change in the label by any regulatory authority predicted

The Role of Genes and Environment in the Development of Cancer

A. The percentage contribution of genetic and environmental factors to cancer. The contribution of genetic factors and environmental factors towards cancer risk is 5–10% and 90–95% respectively

B. Family risk ratios for selected cancers. The numbers represent familial risk ratios, defined as the risk to a given type of relative of an affected individual divided by the population prevalence

C. Percentage contribution of each environmental factor. The percentages represented here indicate the attributable-fraction of cancer deaths due to the specified environmental risk factor

Cancer Risk Factors

• Age,

• Gender,

• Smoking,

• Alcohol,

• Ethnicity,

• Geographic location,

• Genetics,

• Overweight,

• Life style,

• Exposure to carcinogens (chemical, physical and infectious agents)

• Age at menarche, parity, hormonal status, lactation

Page 68: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

o Emphasis on very rare cancers (e.g. osteosarcoma,

medulloblastoma) that make only a small contribution to

the total cancer burden

o No data on breast and prostate cancers

o The report excludes (lack of data) common cancers for

which incidence differs substantially between populations

and over time (stomach, cervix)

o The study focuses exclusively on the USA

The Pitfalls of the Stem Cell Theory:

Page 69: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

o People who migrate from regions of lower to higher cancer

risk soon develop cancer at rates consistent with their new

homes, and vice versa

o Some individuals leading a healthy lifestyle and/or using

chemoprevention will still be diagnosed with cancer but on

the average they will have less cancer

o Mutations during cell division rarely build up to the point of

producing cancer, even in tissues with relatively high rates of

cell division. For some cancers 7 mutations are needed

o Many populations have experienced a doubling of cancer

incidence over past decades

• Because genetics and environment cannot explain the huge

differences in cancer rates between different populations,

individuals and organs, it does not mean that they play a

minor role in carcinogenesis

• Strong correlation at the population level, is blind to the

existence of strong differences in group

susceptibilities (environmental and hereditary) to cancer

• If most cancers were due to random errors during stem cell

replication, then one would expect to see the same cancers

with increasing probability over time. Yet, the incidence of

childhood and adolescent cancers is quite different from

those of adults

Page 71: Diapositiva 1 - eso values in the fM to pM range •Serial killing of tumour cells, activity at low effector–to-target (E:T) ratio •T cell engagement independent of specificity,

o Most humans have equal numbers of stem cells: Yet,

o the incidence for many cancers varies widely (Esophageal

cancer is common in East Africa but rare in West Africa)

o variation over time

Dramatic decrease in gastric cancer world-wide

4-fold increase in CRC in Japan (last 2 decades)

• Intrinsic stem-cell division rates and extrinsic factors are not

entirely independent

• Environmental exposures do affect stem-cell division

rates

“The mathematical model was intrinsically insensitive to

changes in 'Bad Luck' or environment? .…it depends on

the cancer… and by reanalyzed the data, it was

concluded that about 90% of cancers have environmental

contributions…”

Stem cell divisions mandate the mutation rate, but NOT

cancer incidence

Debunking Mathematically the Logical Fallacy that Cancer Risk is

Just “Bad Luck” Sornette and M. Favre*

It is a very simple mathematical calculations but for you I will make it

even simpler

• Small bowel mucosa represent 90% of the GI surface

area

• Colonic tissue undergoes four times more stem cell

divisions than SB tissue in humans

• SB/GIT cancer rate = 90%:10%x4=36%

• SB cancer account for only 1% of all GI tumors

• There must be more than just stem cell division

“Concluding that ‘bad luck’ is the major cause of cancer would be misleading and may detract from efforts to identify the causes of the disease and effectively prevent it” IARC Director Dr Christopher Wild

“It is clear that the number of cell divisions increases

the risk of mutation and cancer, but the majority of

cancers, worldwide, are strongly related to

environmental and lifestyle exposures. Society should

emphasis on early detection and prevention. Half of

all cancer cases worldwide are preventable”

of:

–environment

–heredity

–bad luck
