PURPOSE: Whether the survival benefit of perioperative FOLFOX in patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer (LMCRC) is provided by preoperative chemotherapy (CT), postoperative CT, or both remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate, in patients with resectable LMCRC, the survival impact of preoperative and postoperative separately. METHODS: Between 2000 and 2010, the 179 patients (126 men, age 61 ± 11 years) with initially resectable LMCRC, who underwent liver resection (LR) and were offered pre- and/or postoperative FOLFOX were included. Twenty-four (13%) patients did not receive CT, 27(15%) patients received only preoperative CT, 71 (40%) patients received only postoperative CT, and 57 (32%) patients received both pre- and postoperative CT. RESULTS: Operative morbidity and mortality rates were 19 and 0.6%, respectively. At 1, 3, and 5 years, OS and DFS rates were 97, 66, 46 and 60, 32, and 24%, respectively. Postoperative FOLFOX was an independent predictor of increased OS (HR = 0.55 [95% CI, 0.35-0.87] p = 0.01) and DFS (HR = 0.54 [0.36-0.82] p = 0.0017), whereas the synchronous onset of the metastasis and the presence of radiographically occult liver metastases were independent predictors of poorer OS. Alternatively, preoperative FOLFOX had no significant influence on OS (HR = 0.96 [0.57-1.60] p = 0.83) or DFS (HR = 1.05 [0.66-1.66] p = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS: The survival benefit of FOLFOX in patients with resectable LMCRC may be provided by postoperative rather than preoperative administration.
