    BackgroundRecent research has established tumor budding as a prognostic factor and a possible histomorphologic reflection of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer, highlighting the ability of cancer cells exhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition to resist chemotherapy.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy according to the tumor budding status in microsatellite-stable stage III colorectal cancer.DesignThis was a retrospective study of 2 cohorts.SettingsThe study was conducted at the National Defense Medical College in Japan.PatientsWe reviewed 2 data sets of patients with microsatellite-stable stage III colorectal cancer with curatively intended surgery (R0) from 1999 to 2005 (first cohort; n = 203) and 2006 to 2012 (second cohort; n = 346). In both cohorts, 128 and 203 patients received 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy and 75 and 143 patients did not.Main Outcome MeasuresWe assessed the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy according to the grades of tumor budding based on the cancer-specific survival.ResultsIn low-budding tumors, the chemotherapy group exhibited better cancer-specific survival than the surgery-alone group (first cohort, 93.1% vs 65.5%, p = 0.001; second cohort, 94.0% vs 76.0%, p < 0.0001). Conversely, the prognostic difference between the chemotherapy and surgery-alone groups was statistically insignificant in high-budding tumors (first cohort, 59.7% vs 52.4%, p = 0.57; second cohort, 83.1% vs 75.6%, p = 0.19). The multivariate analysis corroborated the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy in low-budding tumors (first cohort, p = 0.002, HR = 0.28; second cohort, p < 0.0001, HR = 0.23) but not in high-budding tumors.LimitationsPostoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and treatments for recurrence were not homogeneous, and the patient backgrounds differed between the chemotherapy and surgery alone groups.ConclusionsThe high-budding group demonstrated resistance to 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, whereas the low-budding group exhibited significant survival benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III colorectal cancer.

BENEFICIOS DE SUPERVIVENCIA DIFERENCIAL DE LA QUIMIOTERAPIA ADYUVANTE BASADA EN 5-FLUOROURACILO PARA PACIENTES CON CÁNCER COLORRECTAL EN ESTADIO III ESTABLE CON MICROSATÉLITE SEGÚN EL ESTADO DE BROTACIÓN DEL TUMOR: UN ANÁLISIS RETROSPECTIVO:: Investigaciones recientes han establecido la aparición de tumores como un factor pronóstico y una posible reflexión histomorfológica de la transición epitelial-mesenquimatosa en el cáncer colorrectal, destacando la capacidad de las células cancerosas que presentan una transición epitelio-mesenquimática para resistir la quimioterapia.El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los beneficios clínicos de la quimioterapia adyuvante según el estado de brotación del tumor en el cáncer colorrectal en estadio III estable con microsatélite.Este fue un estudio retrospectivo de dos cohortes.El estudio se realizó en la Escuela de Medicina de la Defensa Nacional de Japón.Revisamos dos conjuntos de datos de pacientes con cáncer colorrectal en estadio III estable con microsatélite con cirugía de intención curativa (R0) de 1999 a 2005 (primera cohorte; n = 203) y 2006 a 2012 (segunda cohorte; n = 346). En ambas cohortes, 128 y 203 pacientes recibieron quimioterapia adyuvante basada en 5-fluorouracilo y 75 y 143 pacientes no, respectivamente.Evaluamos los beneficios de la quimioterapia adyuvante de acuerdo con los grados de brotación del tumor en función de la supervivencia específica del cáncer.n los tumores con brotes bajos, el grupo de quimioterapia mostró una mejor supervivencia específica al cáncer que el grupo con cirugía sola (primera cohorte, 93.1% vs. 65.5%, p = 0.001; segunda cohorte, 94.0% vs. 76.0%, p < 0.0001). A la inversa, la diferencia pronóstica entre los grupos de quimioterapia y cirugía sola fue estadísticamente insignificante en los tumores de brotes elevados (primera cohorte, 59.7% vs. 52.4%, p = 0.57; segunda cohorte, 83.1% vs. 75.6%, p = 0.19). El análisis multivariado corroboró los beneficios de la quimioterapia adyuvante en los tumores de brotes bajos (primera cohorte, p = 0,002, índice de riesgo: 0,28; segundo cohorte, p <0,0001, índice de riesgo: 0,23) pero no en los tumores de alto brote.a quimioterapia adyuvante postoperatoria y los tratamientos para la recurrencia no fueron homogéneos, y los antecedentes de los pacientes difirieron entre los grupos de quimioterapia y cirugía sola.El grupo de alto brote demostró resistencia a la quimioterapia basada en 5-fluorouracilo, mientras que el grupo de bajo brote mostró beneficios significativos de supervivencia de la quimioterapia adyuvante en el cáncer colorrectal en estadio III.
