Do we routinely preoperatively T and N stage colon cancers?
No evidence of clinical gain?

The Royal Marsden
– Extramural Vascular Invasion (EMVI)– Reduced 5 year survival
– Depth of extramural spread– Hermanek divided T3 tumours into 4 groups
– Involvement of Non Peritonealised Resection Margin – Very high risk local recurrence
– Histological grade– Well differentiated, 76% 5 year survival– Poorly differentiated, 31% 5 year survival

How often do we report prognostic factors?- EMVI, - non-peritonealised resection margin- transperitoneal breach?
Never?Occasionally?Routinely?

– Meta-analysis conducted on studies assessing accuracy of CT in staging colorectal cancer to detect tumour invasion beyond MP :– Sensitivity is as high as 86%.– Specificity of 78%
– The ability of CT to predict the nodal status is however poor.
– However none of the studies ever looked at the ability of CT to predict prognosis.

The Royal Marsden
EndpointsPrimary:To compare the proportion of patients undergoing any radical treatment in the two arms.
Secondary:• recurrence rate• overall survival and disease free survival at 2 - 3 – 5 years• accuracy of CT and MRI to identify poor prognosis tumours
compared to the gold standard of histopathology

The Royal MarsdenPotential advantages of preoperative therapy in rectosigmoid tumours?
– Prevent R1/R2 resection: surgical planning
– Identify high CRM risk tumours susceptible to treatment, easier to target for RT planning
– Greater preoperative compliance– Early treatment of
micrometastatic disease

Sigmoid cancer
• Sigmoid cancer has a high recurrence rate• Sigmoid cancer has a worse outcome than rectal
cancer• MRI is able to identify poor prognostic tumours
preoperatively• Preoperative staging enhances optimal treatment
strategy including neoadjuvant treatment• Sigmoid cancer with poor prognostic features should
be discussed for neoadjuvant treatment (IMPRESS Trial)

The Royal Marsden
Preoperative staging• Currently CT is widely used to assess sigmoid
cancers, • CT has limited ability to delineate pelvic structures
and detailed anatomy• High resolution MRI better suited evaluating pelvic
structures• May help to identify those at risk of incomplete
resection/ local recurrence• Such patients may benefit from radical neoadjuvant
treatment and more accurate surgical ‘road-mapping’

The Royal Marsden
IMPRESS Trial • Hypothesis:
Accurate preoperative imaging (MRI) will improve recurrence rate and survival through:
better surgical decision making
Greater proportion receiving radical treatment (neoadjuvant therapy or extended surgery)

Endpoints IMPRESS Trial
• Primary: Observational: Measure difference in detection of high risk patients
between CT and MRI and the resultant difference in Rx strategy Randomised: Compare the proportion of patients undergoing
radical treatment in the two arms• Secondary:
Recurrence rate at 1, 3 and 5 years OS and DFS at 1, 3 and 5 years Accuracy of CT and MRI to identify poor prognosis tumours
compared to the gold standard of histopathology Quality of surgery CRM positivity rates on pathology Permanent defunctioning stoma rates

The Royal Marsden
Study design
• Observational and randomised arms (1:1)• Expected improvement of 20% in sensitivity
of detection of high risk patients, 97 patients need to be randomised to each arm
• Drop out rate 20%• 243 patients needed in randomisation arm• Folllow-up 5 years,
outcomes reported at 1, 3, and 5 years
