IMPACT OF TUMOUR SITE ON BEVACIZUMAB EFFICACY IN METASTATIC COLORECTAL CANCER (MCRC)
Aim: With an ever-increasing focus on personalised medicine, all factors known to affect treatment response need to be considered when defining optimal therapy for individual patients ( pts). While the prognostic impact of primary tumour site on CRC outcomes is established, emerging data suggest potential differences in response to biologic therapies. Here we explore the impact of tumour site on bevacizumab (BEV) efficacy in pts with mCRC. Methods: Analysis of pts in an Australian prospective multicentre mCRC registry who received first-line palliative chemotherapy from July 2009 to March 2014. Tumour site was defined as: right colon (RCC)–caecum to transverse, left colon (LCC)–splenic flexure to rectosigmoid, and rectum (RC). Kaplan-Meier and Cox models were used for survival analyses. Results: Of 698 pts, 224 had RCC, 266 LCC and 208 RC primaries. Median age was 69, 66 and 63 years respectively ( p < 0.001). RCC was associated with peritoneal (32.1, 19.5 vs 6.7%, p < 0.001) and RC with lung disease (24.6, 26.7 vs 39.4%, p = 0.001). RC pts were most likely to have an intact primary tumour (22.9%, 32.7% vs 48.6%, p < 0.001). 457 (65.5%) pts received BEV: 68.8% of RCC and LCC and 57.7% of RC pts respectively, p = 0.019. BEV-treated pts were younger (median age 64 vs 70 years, p < 0.001) and had better performance status (PS0-1: 91.9 vs 80.1%, p < 0.001). Progression-free survival (PFS) was superior for BEV-treated pts in all groups, though not reaching statistical significance for RC (table). Overall survival was longest in pts with RC, followed by LCC and RCC (median: 28.7, 22.3 and 19 months, p < 0.001). Table: 513P

Conclusions: Tumour site was prognostic in this cohort, with RC and RCC associated with best and worst outcomes respectively. Patients who received bevacizumab in addition to chemotherapy had superior PFS, with the effect appearing greatest in RCC patients. Although known prognostic factors were adjusted for, other clinicopathologic
