Treatment of Colorectal Cancer in Elderly Patients: ACCENT Database
- Median age of diagnosis of CRC in the United States is 71 years
- Previous analyses have shown that elderly patients (≥70 years)
with CRC benefit from treatment with IV fluoropyrimidines in both the adjuvant and metastatic settings
- This analysis reviewed the efficacy of newer therapies in older
patients
- Patient population was derived the ACCENT database
- 10,499 pts <70 years, 2,170 pts ≥70 years
- 6 phase III trials compared IV FU to combinations with
irinotecan, oxaliplatin, or oral FU (capecitabine and UFT/LV) in stage II/III colon cancer
- Endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease free survival
(DFS), and time to recurrence (TTR)

- Limitations of study
- ACCENT does not track:
- Toxicity
- Dose intensity
- Co-morbidity
- These data do not contradict earlier
studies showing the benefit of adjuvant therapy with 5-FU/LV vs. surgery alone in elderly patients

Defective MMR - Colon cancer
- Characterized by presence of MSI & loss of
MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2 expression
- ~15% of Sporadic CC, >90% loss of MLH1
- Clinical Correlations: Right sided, Female,
Early stage, Better prognosis
- Tumors: Poorly differentiated, Signet-ring-
cell, Lymphocytic infiltration, near diploid
- dMMR cells resistant to 5-FU1,2
1Carethers, 1999; 2Arnold 2003
Defective MMR vs MSI
- Microsatellites (MS) = small DNA segments that consist of
repetitive nucleotides of generally 100-200 base pairs
- prone to replication errors which can change their length
- DNA mismatch repair (MMR) proteins consist of hMLH1, hMSH2,
hMSH6, hPMS2, hMSH3, and hMLH3
- MMR proteins can be deficient due to
- mutations of genes (e.g. HNPCC/Lynch) – 5% of CRC
- methylation of promoter region – 15-20% of sporadic CRC
- Test method for dMMR phenptype:
- Analysis of MS lengths using 5 specific DNA markers
- MSI-H: MSI in at least 2 of 5 markers, MSI-L: MSI in only 1
marker, MSS: no instability detected
- IHC for MMR proteins: MLH1, MSH2 most important (>90%)

Neoadjuvant Therapy of Rectal Cancer – ASCO 2009
- Capecitabine had activity similar to 5-FU
- Addition of oxaliplatin did not improve response
- Increased toxicity
- Oxaliplatin does not appear to be a
radiosensitizer in these studies
- Implications for ongoing NSABP R-04?
- Cape vs ci 5-FU +/- oxaliplatin plus Rtx
- Primary EP: local disease control

Rationale: A subpopulation of gastric cancers overexpress HER2
Stratification by
- Gastric vs GEJ
- Advanced vs metastatic
- 5-FU vs capecitabine
