Survival Benefit of Primary Tumour Resection Compared to Systemic Therapy Alone in Stage IV Colorectal Cancer Patients (SurvSysT)
Survival Benefit of Palliative Primary Tumor Resection and Systemic Therapy Versus Systemic Therapy Only Among Patients With Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma
About 20-25 percent of all colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed with International Union Against Cancer (UICC) stage IV disease. The benefit of primary tumor resection in the palliative context is therefore of high concern. However, empirical evidence from randomized and observational studies is inconsistent.
The objective of the present study is to compare the survival of palliative stage IV colorectal cancer patients selected for primary tumor resection and systemic treatment (PTR+SYST) to patients with systemic treatment only (SYST).

Detailed Description
Mortality after PTR+SYST compared to SYST alone was evaluated in a retrospective observational cohort of patients diagnosed from 2012-2020 in the cancer registry in the federal state of Brandenburg (Germany), excluding patients with rectal cancer of the lower two-thirds, emergency procedures, unknown Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Score (ECOG) status, ECOG>2, unknown metastatic status or unclear grading.
PTR was defined as resection of the primary tumor within 12 months after diagnosis (German procedure codes [Operationen- und Prozedurencodes, OPS] 5-455.*, 5-456.*, 5-484.*, 5-485.*). Cases with additional, but incomplete, resection of metastases were included. SYST was defined as the application of chemotherapy, antibody, or immunotherapy (alone or in combination) starting within 12 months after diagnosis.
The primary study endpoint was mortality. Survival of treatment groups (PTR+SYST vs. SYST) was compared using Kaplan-Meier survival plots and log-rank tests. Follow-up started at diagnosis and ended at death or December 31, 2020, whichever came first. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated with multivariate Cox regression adjusting for sex (male, female), age at diagnosis (in years), ECOG status (0, 1, 2), localization and number of metastases according to TNM, 8th edition (M1a, M1b, M1c), grading (G1-2, G3-4), and localization of the primary tumor (colon carcinoma on the right side, colon carcinoma on the left side, or rectum carcinoma upper third).
Sensitivity analyses were performed to reduce indication bias. Propensity score matching was conducted based on a propensity score determined by logistic regression of treatment (PTR+SYST vs. SYST) on the same variables as above plus radiotherapy (yes/no). For each patient in the SYST group, a patient from the PTR+SYST group was randomly chosen with the same propensity score as the SYST patient, within a certain margin. The same analyses as above were performed on the matched patient groups. Delayed entry was used to account for the fact that patients who underwent PTR must survive from the date of diagnosis to the date of surgery to be included in the PTR+SYST group, whereas no such requirement was made for patients in the SYST group. Follow-ups started 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after diagnosis, excluding patients who died prior to this time irrespective of treatment (according to the "landmark" approach, as described by Alawadi et al., 2017).
Registry quality assurance measures and procedures:
Quality of German Clinical Cancer Registries have been analysed and described in detail by various publications (for example, PubMed-ID (PMID): 37568750; PMID: 28639952; PMID: 26474650; PMID: 25523845). In summary, the completeness and quality of the data can be rated as high to very high. The basis for this are the statutory reporting requirements, a high reporting fee by European standards for both the registries and the transmitting agent, regular quality conferences, highly standardised documentation requirements for the data transmission, specifications on register-related quality indicators (e.g. completeness), internal data validation measures and a secure and independent funding basis.
