these studies are severely limited by the power to test for the interaction between dMMR status and chemotherapy effect. Several studies have also looked at other molecular mutations in the BRAF and KRAS genes including interactions of these factors with dMMR status as well as those with CpG Island methylator phenotype [18, 19, 25, 26]. No clear consensus has emerged with one study suggesting a BRAF mutation is prognostic for poorer overall survival in all stage II patients [18] and another in only those with pMMR status [25]. An additional study suggested a poorer survival for KRAS mutant tumors but not BRAF [19]. In none of the studies were KRAS, BRAF, or CIMP predictive of benet from chemotherapy and as such have not found their way into our treatment algorithms.

Risk-Stratification: ctDNA andMinimal Residual Disease
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are DNA fragments that are released by neoplastic cells [29]. Its positivity after curative surgery provides evidence of micrometastases and minimal residual disease. It offers to be a promising noninvasive tool for per­sonalizing treatment and deciding which patients will receive adjuvant chemother­apy, and which regimen to use.
A phase II study evaluated whether ctDNA guided approach could reduce the use of adjuvant therapy while reducing the risk of recurrence. This study enrolled patients based on either ctDNA or clinicopathologic features. ctDNA-negative patients were not treated. 15% in ctDNA guided group received chemotherapy com­pared to 28% in the standard management group. The primary endpoint, recurrence­free survival (RFS) at 2years, was non-inferior to the standard group (93.5% vs
92.4%; 95% CI: 1.25–2.65%). At 3years, RFS was 91.7% vs. 92.4%. Essentially, fewer patients received chemotherapy when the ctDNA-based approach was employed without sacricing the risk of recurrence, suggesting that potential role of ctDNA in guiding adjuvant therapy decisions [30]. While this study offered prog­nostic information, it did not provide evidence about the effect of chemotherapy treatment, and larger validation studies are needed. A major limitation of ctDNA is its sensitivity which can range from 50 to 60% [31], especially in early-stage tumors with few DNA fragments [29].
The CIRCULATE-US study (NCT05174169) is a prospective study to evaluate the role of ctDNA to guide adjuvant therapy decisions in high-risk stage II and III colon cancer. This phase II/III clinical trial stratied patients with resected colon cancer based on their ctDNA status, and randomized them to different adjuvant therapy regimens, with the primary objective of measuring DFS (Fig.17.1). Patients with negative baseline ctDNA (cohort A) will get randomized to receive adjuvant FOLFOX/CAPOX, or no adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with baseline positive ctDNA (cohort B) will get randomized to receive adjuvant FOLFOX/CAPOX or FOLFOXIRI.Both cohorts will involve serial ctDNA monitoring. Patients from cohort A with detectable ctDNA at any point will be switched to cohort B. The CIRCULATE-US study will hopefully better enlighten practitioners on the poten­tial use of ctDNA as a monitoring, prognostic, and treatment decision tool.

successful, the trial may lead to the development of new treatment paradigms for stage II colon cancer, including MRD-directed adjuvant therapy.
Duration ofAdjuvant Therapy
The International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy (IDEA) was a collaboration of four to six phase III studies involving 3273 high-risk stage II colon cancer patients, that attempted to answer the question of the optimal duration of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colorectal cancer. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 3months vs. 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. Adjuvant therapy regimen was up to investigator discretion, and included FOLFOX (5- uorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) or CAPOX (capecitabine and oxalipla­tin). The primary endpoint was 5-year disease-free survival. In the overall popula­tion, noninferiority was not demonstrated for 3 months of adjuvant therapy vs. 6months of adjuvant therapy (DFS 80.7% vs 83.9%, HR, 1.17; 80% CI, 1.05 to
1.31; P [for noninferiority] .39). However, preplanned subgroup comparisons showed a statistically signicant difference in patients receiving CAPOX vs. FOLFOX regimens. The 5-year DFS of 3months adjuvant CAPOX vs 6months was 81.7 vs 82%. (HR 1.02; 95% CI, 0.82 to 1.27) with fewer grade 3–5 toxicities in the 3months cohort. The 5-year DFS was higher with 6months of FOLFOX compared to 3months of FOLFOX (79.2% vs 86.5%, HR 1.41; 95% CI, 1.08 to
1.84), though 6months of FOLFOX was associated with more toxicities. Essentially, 3months of FOLFOX was inferior to 6months of FOLFOX, while 3 months of CAPOX was comparable to 6months of CAPOX with a HR closer to 1. This sug­gests a potential use of 3months of CAPOX in high-risk stage II patients, especially when taking into consideration the cost and toxicity prole. 6months of FOLFOX was superior to 3months of FOLFOX but had more toxicities [32]. A limitation of the IDEA study was that OS was not yet evaluated due to the short follow-up; longer

follow-up is needed to fully evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients receiving 3months of CAPOX.The sample size was also not sufciently large to accurately detect small differences in DFS.
Overall, 3months CAPOX or 6months single-agent 5FU can be considered in high-risk stage II colon cancer patients taking into account the patient’s specic risk prole, comorbidities, side effects, and preferences. We reserve 6-months of oxali­platin based adjuvant therapy for patients with multiple high-risk features.
Recommendations Based ontheData
1. All stage II colon cancer patients should be tested for dMMR either by IHC or
PCR and those with dMMR should not receive chemotherapy (evidence quality high, strong recommendation).
2. Patients with T4 tumors, high grade (pMMR), <12 LN sampled, or with perfora-
tion should receive adjuvant chemotherapy (evidence quality moderate, moder­ate recommendation).
3. Adjuvant therapy with 3months CAPOX or 6months single-agent 5FU can be
considered in high-risk stage II colon cancer patients taking into account the patient’s specic risk prole, comorbidities, side effects, and preferences. Patients with multiple high-risk features may be considered for 6-months of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant therapy (evidence quality moderate, moderate recommendation).
4. Patients with T4b tumors should receive oxaliplatin-based adjuvant therapy (evi-
dence quality weak, moderate recommendation).
5. ctDNA should be considered for surveillance and risk-stratication, and studies
are underway to investigate its role in guiding adjuvant therapy regimen. (evi­dence quality moderate, moderate recommendation).

Introduction
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer with 1.9 million new cases in 2020 and second in terms of cancer deaths with 935,000 deaths in 2020 [1]. The peritoneum is a common site of metastasis for CRC that is associated with poor prognosis. It is estimated that around 5% of patients with CRC are synchro­nously diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and a greater proportion ranging from 5–20% of CRC patients will develop metachronous PC later in their disease course [24]. Additionally, this is likely an under-estimation of PC inci­dence as tumor deposits are small (<1cm) and difcult to be captured on imaging alone, requiring more invasive procedures such as laparoscopy to better evaluate the abdomen [25]. Autopsy studies that have looked at patients who died from CRC found PC in up to 40% of patients [6]. This raises the importance of appropriately managing and treating patients with metastatic CRC, which has evolved over the past few decades with changes in the systemic and surgical treatment options avail­able. Currently, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intra­peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a potential modality for treatment of patients with PC [7]. In the 2000s, as is summarized in Table18.1, studies showed that CRS/

HIPEC provide CRC patients with a signicant mortality benet when compared to standard chemotherapy (SCT) in the setting of PC [8]. Since then, CRS/HIPEC has been studied extensively in order to optimize the treatment modality and to deter­mine if and who would benet most from CRS/HIPEC (Table18.1).

Results
In the 2000s, a sentinel study was carried out by Verwaal etal. that evaluated the efcacy of CRS/HIPEC versus SCT in patients with PC from CRC. 105 patients were enrolled in this study with 54 randomized to the CRS/HIPEC (Mitomycin C) arm and 51 to the control arm consisting of SCT (Fluorouracil, Leucovorin) with or without palliative surgery. At a median follow-up of 21.6months, the CRS/HIPEC arm exhibited a longer median survival of 22.3months compared to 12.6months (p=0.032) in the control arm [8]. Subgroup analyses of patients that underwent CRS/HIPEC showed that those with disease in 6–7 regions of the abdomen had poorer median survival compared to those patients with disease involvement of zero to ve regions (5.4months vs >29months, p<.0001) [8]. Additionally, only 1/18 patients who underwent a complete resection died versus 14/21 with limited resid­ual disease and 7/10 with extensive residual disease (p<.0001) [8]. Overall, those whom underwent complete cytoreduction had a median OS of 48months with a 5-year survival of 45% [9]. The subgroup analyses within the experimental arm brought up two important concepts regarding CRS/HIPEC with improved survival in those with lower burden of disease, reported as the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI), and the importance in achieving a complete cytoreduction. These results were additionally demonstrated in an 8-year follow up of the initial study by Verwaal et al. This study illustrated a durable survival benet when comparing CRS/HIPEC to SCT in the treatment of CRC patients with PC.This follow-up study showed an increased median progression-free survival in CRS/HIPEC of
12.6months vs 7.7 months and an improved median disease-specic survival of
22.2months vs 12.6 months [9]. Two limitations in this study were related to the
systemic chemotherapy and patient population, which can impact its generalizabil­ity to present day treatment of CRC patients. 5-FU/Leucovorin was used as the SCT, which is not the optimal rst-line therapy today and 17% of the patient cohort had a diagnosis of primary appendiceal malignancies [8]. Appendiceal cancer is a dis­tinct malignancy from CRC with heterogeneous long-term oncologic outcomes that therefore may have affected the results of the study.

In subsequent follow-up studies, Glehen etal. carried out a large retrospective multicenter study that further evaluated the efciency of CRS/HIPEC and addi­tional prognostic indicators. This study included 506 patients from 28 institutions between May 1987 and December 2002 that underwent CRS and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The overall morbidity and mortality rate in the patient cohort was 22.9% and 4% with a median OS of 19.2months [10]. When the patient cohort was sub-divided based on the completeness of cytoreduction, a signicantly improved survival benet was seen. Patients that underwent a complete cytoreduc­tion (CCR-0) had a median OS of 32.4months versus 24months in CCR-1 patients and 8.4 months (p < 0.001) in those with an incomplete cytoreduction (CCR-2) [10]. Multivariate analysis showed that positive independent prognostic indicators included complete cytoreduction, treatment with a second procedure, limited PC, age<65 and use of adjuvant therapy, while negative prognostic indicators were the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, lymph node involvement, presence of liver metastasis and poor histologic differentiation. The completeness of cytoreduction was the principal independent prognostic indicator (p<0.0001) [10]. When sub­group analysis was performed based on the extent of PC, the OS of those with lim­ited PC (PCI<13 and stage I and II from the Gilly’s classication) was higher than extended PC (PCI 13 and stage III and IV from the Gilly’s classication) with 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS of 92%, 50%, and 33% versus 62%, 22%, and 11%, respectively (p<0.0001) [10]. These ndings reafrmed some of the existing con­cepts introduced in the previous study regarding the prognostic benet of lower PC burden and improved survival with complete cytoreduction. In addition, this study addressed a limitation of the previous study by excluding all malignancies of appen­diceal origin. However, in addition to the retrospective nature this study, authors acknowledged treatment variability, for example, in HIPEC technique regarding exposure, drugs, drug doses, duration, temperature, type of perfusate and ow rates [10]. Following this, a study carried out by Goéré etal. evaluated the long-term outcomes of CRS and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC). This study looked at 107 patients from 1995 to 2006 who underwent complete CRS followed by IPC [11]. At a median follow up of 77months, the 5-year and 10-year OS was 35% and 15% and 16% of patients (n=17) were considered cured, dened as having a disease-free interval of at least 5years. Comparing patients that were considered cured to the rest of the cohort, a signicantly lower PCI was noted (4 vs 12, p=.0002). Additionally, after multivariate analysis, a PCI 10 was the only independent factor predictive of a cure in the patient population [11].
Franko etal. performed a single-institution retrospective case study that com­pared patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC versus modern SCT alone. 105 patients were included from 2001 to 2007 with 67 patients in the CRS/HIPEC (Mitomycin) arm and 38 patients in the SCT alone group. Median OS favored the CRS/HIPEC group at 34.7months compared to 16.8months in the SCT alone group (p<0.001) [12]. In addition, this study found that the presence of a liver metastasis was a sig­nicant negative predictor of survival with a HR of 2.13 [12]. Following this, Cashin etal. designed a prospective, randomized control trial that compared patients under­going CRS/IPC versus patients undergoing SCT alone. Unfortunately, this study
