The Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Treated With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease are commonly excluded from clinical trials. The impact of chronic kidney disease on outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer has not been previously studied. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease on outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. DESIGN: This is a multi-institutional, retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at academic and community cancer centers participating in the Canadian Health Outcomes Research Database Consortium Rectal Cancer Database. PATIENTS: Consecutive patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation before curative-intent surgery from 2005 to 2013 were selected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Disease-free survival, overall survival, pathologic complete response, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy completion rate were the primary outcomes measured. RESULTS: A total of 1254 patients were included. Median age was 62, and 29%/69% had clinical stage II and III disease. Median estimated creatinine clearance was 93 mL/min, with 11% <60 mL/min (n = 136). There was no significant difference in the completion rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (82% vs 85%, p = 0.36) or radiotherapy (93% vs 95%, p = 0.45) between patients with and without chronic kidney disease. Patients with chronic kidney disease were less likely to receive adjuvant chemotherapy (63% vs 77%, p < 0.01). On multivariate analysis, patients with chronic kidney disease had decreased disease-free survival (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.03-1.82; p = 0.03) but not overall survival (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.88-1.75; p = 0.23) or pathologic complete response (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.50-1.39; p = 0.71). LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its retrospective design and by limited events for overall survival analysis. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with locally advanced rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation, baseline chronic kidney disease was associated with less use of adjuvant chemotherapy and decreased disease-free survival. Chronic kidney disease was not independently associated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy completion rate, pathologic complete response, or overall survival. These data suggest that patients with locally advanced rectal cancer with chronic kidney disease may have distinct outcomes and, accordingly, the results of landmark clinical trials may not be generalizable to this population.

LA REPERCUSIN DE LA ENFERMEDAD RENAL CRNICA EN PACIENTES CON CNCER DE RECTO LOCALMENTE AVANZADO TRATADOS CON QUIMIORRADIOTERAPIA NEOADYUVANTE: ANTECEDENTES:Los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica generalmente se excluyen de los ensayos clínicos. La repercusión de la enfermedad renal crónica en el desenlace en pacientes con cáncer de recto localmente avanzado no se ha estudiado previamente.OBJETIVO:Investigar la repercusión de la enfermedad renal crónica en los desenlaces en pacientes con cáncer de recto localmente avanzado.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo multiinstitucional.ESCENARIO:Centros oncológicos académicos y comunitarios que participan en la base de datos de cáncer rectal del consorcio CHORD.PACIENTES:Pacientes consecutivos con cáncer de recto localmente avanzado, tratados con quimiorradioterapia neoadyuvante, previa a la cirugía con intención curativa del 2005 al 2013.PRINCIPALES VARIABLES EVALUADAS:Sobrevida libre de enfermedad, sobrevida global, respuesta patológica completa, tasa de conclusión de quimioterapia / radioterapia neoadyuvante.RESULTADOS:Se incluyeron 1254 pacientes. El promedio de edad fue de 62, y el 29% / 69% tenían enfermedad en estadio clínico II y III, respectivamente. El promedio de la depuración de creatinina estimada fue de 93 mililitros / minuto, con un 11% <60 mililitros / minuto (n = 136). No hubo diferencias significativas en la tasa de conclusión de la quimioterapia neoadyuvante (82% vs 85%, p = 0,36) o radioterapia (93% vs 95%, p = 0,45) entre pacientes con y sin enfermedad renal crónica. Los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica tenían menos probabilidades de recibir quimioterapia adyuvante (63% contra el 77%, p <0,01). En el análisis multivariado, los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica tenían una sobrevida libre de enfermedad menor (HR 1,37, IC 95% 1,03-1,82, p = 0,03) pero no en la sobrevida global (HR 1,23, IC 95% 0,88-1,75, p = 0,23) o respuesta patológica completa (OR 0,83, IC 95% 0,50-1,39, p = 0,71).LIMITACIONES:Diseño retrospectivo y acontecimientos limitados para el análisis de sobrevida global.CONCLUSIONES:En pacientes con cáncer de recto localmente avanzado tratados con quimiorradioterapia neoadyuvante, la enfermedad renal crónica de base se asoció con un menor uso de quimioterapia adyuvante y una menor sobrevida libre de enfermedad. La enfermedad renal crónica no se asoció de forma independiente con la tasa de conclusión de la quimioterapia / radioterapia neoadyuvante, la respuesta patológica completa o la sobrevida global. Estos datos sugieren que los pacientes con cáncer de recto localmente avanzado con enfermedad renal crónica pueden tener resultados distintos y, en consecuencia, los resultados de los ensayos clínicos de referencia pueden no ser generalizables a esta población.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
