Adjuvant systemic chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab in patients with resected pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

e14533 Background: To determine impact of modern chemotherapy regimens after pulmonary metastasectomy from colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A total of 122 consecutive patients who curatively resected for pulmonary metastases of CRC in eleven oncology centers were retrospectively analysed between January 2000 and April 2012. Results: Of 122 patients, 108 who received chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine-based (n = 12), irinotecan-based (n = 56) and oxaliplatin-based (n = 40) combinations were analyzed. Among these, 52 patients received bevacizumab (BEV) while 56 did not (NoBEV). With a median follow-up of 14 months after metastasectomy, median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 17 months, overall survival (OS) was not reached. Three and 5-years OS rates were 66% and 53%, respectively. There was no significant difference among cytotoxic regimens in respect to RFS and OS. Similarly, no significant difference was seen between BEV and NoBEV arms in respect to OS and RFS. In univariate analysis prior liver metas...
