Background: According to the SEER database, approximately 21% of colon cancer patients have synchronous metastatic disease at presentation with a five-year survival of only 14%. Liver is by far the most common site of metastasis. For resectable and borderline resectable metastatic lesions after conversion to surgical resection, five-year survival ranges between 40-70% in different series. Survival advantage of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not clear. We present here an updated analysis of effect of different variables on survival of 3,247 patients from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) treated from 2010-2015. Methods: Adults 20 years or older with primary colon cancer and single organ metastatic disease either in the liver and/or lung at diagnosis were identified. All patients had received surgery to the primary site, resection of the distant site and chemotherapy within 1 year of diagnosis. Patients were categorized into 2 cohorts based on whether they received chemotherapy in the pre-operative/peri-operative setting (neoadjuvant chemotherapy –NAC) or post-operative setting (adjuvant chemotherapy AC). Descriptive analysis, Kaplan-Meier plots, Log-Rank tests and Cox regression models for multivariate survival analyses were performed. To assess uncertainty of estimates, a sensitive analysis was also performed based on the intention to treat principle by including additional surgery only and chemotherapy only cases. Results: A total of 3,247 patients with colon cancer with liver or lung metastases were identified. A large majority 2,527 patients (77.8%) received AC. 54.5% were males and 45.5% females. On multivariate analysis, patients who received NAC had overall survival (OS) advantage with hazard ratio (HR) 0.86 (0.75-0.98). Clinical factors associated with worse survival included age > 75 HR 1.31; positive margin status with R1 HR 1.49 or R2 HR 2.33; Comorbidity index ≥ 2 HR 1.68; positive KRAS status HR 1.20; N2 disease HR1.95; ; having liver metastasis compared to lung HR 1.65 ;. Factors associated with improved survival were CEA less than 30 ng/ml at diagnosis and left sided tumor with HR of 0.64 (0.56-0.72) and 0.75(0.67-0.84) respectively. Conclusions: Metastatic colon cancer with single organ liver or lung lesions benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on our analysis of the real-world data. The survival advantage in this setting has not been shown before.
