22 Can Total Mesorectal Excision BeAvoided inT2 Rectal Cancer?
https://t.me/medicina_free

There is limited patient-reported outcome data focused exclusively on patients with T2N0 disease. Among patients with T1N0 disease, one study compared the quality of life of 17 patients who underwent local excision with 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic TME without an ostomy [15]. Questions regarding chemo­therapy or stoma-related side effects were discarded, along withthose related to sexual dysfunction, reportedly because few patients were sexually active. With these caveats, neither procedure showed a signicant difference compared to preop­erative status at 12months in cancer-specic quality of life or colorectal-specic quality of life measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC-QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38) [15]. Patients cite risk of needing an ostomy as a major concern during rectal cancer therapy. Even among patients with stage one disease, the contemporary rate of abdominoperineal resection is
21.5%, and an additional 12% undergo a Hartmann’s procedure [3].
When neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapies are added, the patient-reported out­comes generally favor local excision. A study of patients with cT2–3 tumors (some with nodal involvement) who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by local excision had signicantly better global health status, emotional function, social function, body image, low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scores, and fecal incontinence subscale scores compared to those who underwent TME [16]. Similarly, in a multicenter study of a heterogeneous group of patients (T2-T4, N1-N2, some with neoadjuvant therapy) who underwent local excision had signi­cantly better mean constipation scores, less sensation of incomplete emptying, fewer second bowel movements within 15minutes compared to those who had TME. Interestingly, patients who had local excision alone had the best patient­reported outcomes, followed by those who had a TME, then those who had a com­pletion TME following local excision [17]. Elsewhere, a study comparing 35 patients (T1 n=25; T2 n=10) who underwent local excision with or without adju­vant chemotherapy compared to those who underwent TME (n= 32) found that
14.8% of patients who had local excision had LARS compared to 45.5% (p=0.043) of those who underwent TME [18]. An analysis of the Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery after Radiochemotherapy for Rectal Cancer (CARTs) study demon­strated that 48–68months after local excision, 22% (7/32) of patients with cT1-3N0 rectal cancer had no LARS, 28% (9/32) had minor LARS, and 50% (16/32) had major LARS [19]. Unfortunately, this study did not have LARS scores from before treatment to assess change associated with local excision.
Short-term morbidity and patient-reported outcomes notwithstanding, durable oncologic outcomes are why TME is the standard of care in patients with T2N0 disease [4]. In the Dutch TME trial, patients with Stage I disease (n=243, cT1–2N0) randomized to TME alone had a 10-year local recurrence rate of just 3% [20]. Similarly, in the OCUM study, out of 197 patients with cT2N0 disease who went straight to TME, the 5-year locoregional recurrence rate was 1.7% (95% CI, 0–3.7%) and the 5-year disease free survival 75.9% (95% CI, 69.8–82.0%) (personal com­munication with Professor T Junginger). Conversely, a pooled analysis including patients with a minimum of 3years of follow-up who underwent local excision found a weighted average rate of local recurrence of 8.1% (n= 268/3050; 95%

condence interval [CI], 6.6–9.9%) among those with pT1 disease and 28.9% for pT2 disease (n=136/545; 95% CI, 22.3–36.4%) [5]. For patients who undergo a local excision with completion TME, the weighted local recurrence rate is 1.8% (n=5/180; 95% CI, 1.2–6.5) for patients with pT1 disease and 4.1% (n=5/123; 95% CI, 1.7–9.4%) for those with pT2 disease [ 5]. Finally, for those who under­went adjuvant chemoradiation after TME the weighted local recurrence was 4.8% for pT1 disease (n = 24/285; 95% CI 2.3–9.8%) and 14.7% for pT2 disease (11.2%–19.0%) [5]. In short, excellent surgical technique and high-quality TME are associated with exceptional oncological outcomes, and novel approaches in T2 dis­ease seeking to increase the rates of organ preservation utilizing neoadjuvant ther­apy and local excision should be held to these standards.

Improving Oncologic Outcomes Associated withLocal Excision
Recognizing that the oncologic benets of TME come with higher rates of short­term morbidity, appreciable colostomy rates, and poorer patient-reported outcomes, investigators sought to improve the oncologic outcomes associated with local exci­sion. Drawn by the successes of chemoradiation inlocally advanced rectal cancer, favorable retrospective data, and the high rates of pathologic complete response following TME, the addition of neoadjuvant chemoradiation before local excision was the logical progression of subsequent trials. Here we will compare and contrast one post hoc analysis and randomized controlled trials comparing novel treatment modalities (neoadjuvant chemoradiation [or total neoadjuvant therapy] followed by local excision) to the current standard of care, TME.There are notable single-arm studies reporting oncologic and patient-reported outcomes following CRT followed by local excision or in case of poor response to TME, but these do not directly com­pare to TME [19, 21].
A post hoc analysis of patients with T2N0 disease from two separate trials was recently published [22]. This study is informative as it contrasts two management philosophies for early rectal cancer. This compared the survival and health-related quality of life between 79 patients with cT2N0 who underwent neoadjuvant chemo­radiation (NCRT) followed by local excision (from ACOSOG Z6041) to 79 with pT2N0 who underwent upfront TME (from the Dutch TME trial) [22, 23]. The 5-year rate of local recurrence was 4.2% (CI, 1.4%–12.5%) in the NCRT-local exci­sion group and 1.3% (CI, 0.2%–6.7%) in the TME group (hazard ratio, 5.42; 95% CI, 0.59–49.64, p=0.14). Similarly, there was no difference between the groups in 5-year disease-free survival (88.2% vs. 88.3%), 5-year overall survival (90.3% vs.
88.4%), or 5-year relative survival (99.8% vs. 100%) [22]. One of the most notable differences between the two therapeutic approaches was the marked difference in sphincter preservation with a permanent ostomy rate of 51% in the subgroup from the Dutch TME trial compared to a 4% ostomy rate from ACOSOG Z6041 [21].
Table 22.2 summarizes the randomized controlled trials comparing neoadjuvant therapy followed by LE with the standard of care (TME) [11, 12, 24]. The random­ized controlled trials differ in their inclusion criteria and neoadjuvant regimens but

are representative of novel treatment modalities for early rectal cancer. The rst study with 5-year oncologic data was GRECCAR 2, which had oncological out­comes as secondary endpoints [24]. Here, adults with T2-T3 low rectal cancers were all treated with long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Those who responded well to the neoadjuvant therapy (2cm residual tumor at a 6–8week post neoadju­vant MRI) were randomized to local excision or TME 8weeks after chemotherapy. The 5-year local recurrence, metastasis, overall survival, and cancer-specic mor­tality were similar between the patients with NCRT+LE and the NCRT+TME groups (Table22.2).
Neoadjuvant CRT is commonly used but is associated with substantial morbidity and even mortality, as seen in the CARTS study [19]. An alternative investigated in the TREC study is performing neoadjuvant short-course radiation (SCRT) followed by local excision [12]. The TREC study did include non-randomized patients whose treatment was determined by a multidisciplinary tumor board, but we will focus on the randomized patients. In the comparison of 28 patients randomized to TME com­pared to SCRT followed by TEM, there was no difference in 3-year overall (93% vs. 88%, p=0.35) or 3-year disease-free survival (85% vs. 76%, p=0.12), respectively. The most recent study (TAU-TEM) has published short-term outcomes, but no data are available to date on oncologic outcomes [11].
The high rates of pathologic complete response following neoadjuvant chemora­diation and the mixed data regarding patient-reported outcomes following NCRT + local excision have stimulated further investigation. Ongoing trials such as STAR­TREC (NCT02945566), GRECCAR12 (NCT02514278), OPERA (NCT02505750), and ReSARCh (NCT02710812) among others are assessing whether local excision can be avoided altogether with a watch and wait approach. Currently, there are mini­mal patient-reported outcomes data regarding the watch and wait strategy. The available studies assess patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and report com­parisons between watch and wait to TME.One study compared 21 patients who underwent watch and wait to 21 who underwent sphincter preserving TME.Expectedly, 21 patients who had watch and wait matched to 21 who had TME had better bowel function on all of the subscales of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Bowel Function Instrument [25]. These results are corroborated else­where in a study of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who received watch and wait compared to anterior resection [26]. A more appropriate comparison for patients who undergo watch and wait is to patients who receive local excision.

Recommendations Based ontheData
For a patient with cT2N0 rectal cancer who can tolerate surgery, or a patient where frequent surveillance for tumor recrudescence is impractical or impossible, a high quality TME is recommended to minimize their risk of recurrence and maximize their overall survival (Evidence: strong quality; Recommendation, strong).This is clearly the preferred approach in patients with T2N0 disease from the oncological standpoint.

https://t.me/medicina_free
In highly select patients with cT2N0 rectal cancer with prohibitively high-risk comorbidities or refuse TME, local excision can be considered (Evidence, moder­ate; Recommendation, weak). These high-risk patients should be carefully surveilled for potential completion TME salvage in the event of recrudes­cence.(Evidence, high quality; Recommendation, weak).

A Personal View oftheData
T2N0 Rectal Cancer: TheGoldilocks Effect
Given the tremendous progress in reducing locoregional recurrence rates, we con­tend that the pressing issues in T2N0 rectal cancer management are now the risk of distant recurrence, minimizing acute and chronic treatment-related toxicities, and organ preservation. For patients with a T2N0 tumor, TME, often necessitating an abdominoperineal resection, may be ‘too much’ treatment. Conversely, local exci­sion alone is clearly ‘too little’ treatment given the very high rates of locoregional recurrence. So, what is the ‘just right’ amount of therapy to reduce the locoregional risk of recurrence while minimizing toxicity and maximizing organ preservation?
Contemporary rectal cancer care is multidisciplinary and based on shared- decision making. Many patients, even those with a complete clinical response to neoadjuvant therapy, seek the most denitive treatment to “put the disease behind them.” For them, a TME even with ypT0N0 is the appropriate treatment. However, it is possible to achieve durable oncologic outcomes and organ preservation using either NCRT-LE or TNT-WW [22, 27, 28]. Consider a 75-year-old male who lives independently with a 2cm lesion 5cm from the anal verge under local excision and pathology revealed a T2 tumor with clear margins positive for lymphovascular invasion tumor. The patient is interested in curative treatment but is concerned about complications lead­ing to a loss of independence. In this case scenario without additional therapy, one in four patients (20–25%) will have a locoregional recurrence and 6–13% will have distant metastasis [5]. Adding adjuvant chemoradiation would offer approximately a 50% relative risk reduction inlocoregional recurrence (10–12.5%) and distant recur­rence (5–10%) [5]. A completion TME reduces the risk of locoregional recurrence to 4–5% and distant recurrence to 5–7% [5]. With proper counseling, we have employed each of these treatment approaches to good effect.
Another scenario is a 60-year-old female with a T2N0 tumor abutting the anal sphincter complex, who is keen to avoid a permanent colostomy, and has declined an upfront abdominoperineal resection. There is a reasonable body of data support­ing the deployment of neoadjuvant therapy, possibly followed by local excision (NCRT-LE) ideally via a transanal endoscopic platform. This approach is associated with 60–80% organ preservation rates among patients who met post-treatment response criteria in clinical trials [11, 12, 24]. However, up to 10% of the patients in these studies required completion TME.The challenge of accurately identifying complete clinical responders to neoadjuvant therapy is a drawback of TNT-WW [29]. While NCRT-LE provides some reassurance that residual microscopic disease
264

was removed, the relatively high rates of pathologic complete response in the trials (26–40%) and functional derangements (50% major LARS at 5years in the CARTS study) highlight the urgent need to improve endoscopic, radiographic, and/or blood­based (ex. circulating cell-free DNA) methods of identifying complete clinical responders [19, 29]. There are very few patient-reported outcomes data comparing patients who had NCRT-LE and TNT-WW, and this area needs investigation. Presently, TNT-WW should be reserved for institutional review board approved protocols and is not the standard of care [30].
In conclusion, the management of early rectal cancer is rapidly advancing, and TME is an excellent option for most patients with T2N0 rectal cancer. Even patients with early disease who could be managed with TME alone should be presented in a tumor board setting adhering to evidence-based standards such as the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) standards [31]. However, clini­cians should prepare for the growing trend toward organ preservation, particularly in light of the increasing adoption of TNT throughout the United States [32]. Surgeons should be at the forefront of investigations into pressing clinical questions regarding patient-reported outcomes, oncologic durability, and logistical or quality issues associated with the widespread implementation of organ preservation pro­grams. Regardless, patients with T2N0 disease must be thoroughly counseled on the diagnostic uncertainty in early rectal cancer and all contemporary management options. If these patients remain highly committed to organ preservation, even potentially at the expense of oncologic outcomes, referral to experienced centers is recommended.

Surgical Treatment inRectal Cancer

Introduction
The standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) includes neoadju­vant long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCRT), total mesorectal excision (TME) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy [1]. However, over the past 2 decades, the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has evolved in an attempt to balance between better survival outcomes and reducing long-term sequelae on the patient’s quality of life (QoL) due to the toxicities associated with neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) [2].
Up to 20% of LARC patients treated with LCRT alone may develop a pathologi­cal complete response (i.e. absence of residual tumor cells at either the primary tumor site and the mesorectal nodes, pCR), but this can be as high as 40% in those treated with concomitant consolidative chemotherapy given after LCRT [3]. Patients with a pCR have improved survival rates, with lower than 5% of distant metastasis and 1% of locoregional failure [4].
