2 Disclosure Research Support/P.I. Honoraria Advisory Board Roche, Amgen Roche, Amgen Sanofi, Roche

3 Objectives Highlight current treatment in the adjuvant setting Review state of the art treatment in the metastatic setting Discuss new treatments in the future in colorectal carcinoma

4 Definitions

5 The Colorectum The colon + rectum = the large intestine Colon makes up the first 5 to 6 feet of the large intestine Above the peritoneum Rectum makes up the last 6 inches (12-15cm) ending at the anus Below the peritoneum

6 The Colorectum... Peritoneal Reflection

7 The Statistics

8 Colorectal Cancer Third most common cancer in men and women alike Lifetime probability 1 in 17 In BC 2,400 new cases are diagnosed/year BC has the one of the best survival outcomes compared to other provinces

9 BC Incidence Rates - Colorectal Cancer Males Females

10 Survival with Colorectal Cancer BC Men BC Women

11 Who is at risk? Males=Females Risk increases with age Average age at diagnosis is yrs Industrialized nations Most cancers start as polyps - precancerous growths

12

13

14 Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Sporadic (average risk) (65% 85%) Rare syndromes (<0.1%) HNPCC (5%) Family history (10% 30%) FAP (1%)

15 Staging

16 Staging 4 stages Stage I Cancer has grown thru the mucosa up to the muscular layer Stage II Cancer has spread into muscularis propria but not into lymph nodes Stage III Cancer has spread into lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body Stage IV Cancer has metastasized to distant organs such as liver or lungs

17 AJCCv6 TNM Staging Definitions AJCC v7 Effective Jan 2010 Primary tumor (T) T is Carcinoma in situ T 1 Tumor invades submucosa T 2 Tumor invades muscularis T4b: invasion propria of organs T 3 Tumor invades through muscularis propria or subserosa Tumor directly invades other organs or structures T 4 Regional lymph nodes (N) N 0 N 1 N 2 No regional lymph node metastases Metastases in 1 3 regional lymph nodes Metastases in 4 or more regional lymph nodes Distant metastases (M) M 0 No distant metastases M 1 Distant metastases T4a: perf. visceral peritoneum N1a: 1 N+ N1b: 2-3 N+ AJCC = American Joint Committee on Cancer.

45 Radiation Preoperative preferred: Short or Long Course Short: The tumour doesn t need to be smaller 5 days treatment followed within a week by surgery. Chemotherapy after if necessary Long: The tumour needs to be made smaller before surgery: 5 radiation treatments/week for 5 weeks with capecitabine followed 4-6 weeks later by surgery
