Brief Summary

Colorectal cancers are the leading cancers for both sexes combined. They represent 15-20% of all cancers. This cancer has a severe prognosis, the survival rate at 5 years is around 55% and in France it is estimated, all colorectal cancers are responsible for an annual mortality of 15,000 patients. The prognosis of colon cancer knows no significant improvement. The treatment of colon cancer is surgical. It is intended for removal of colonic segment bearing the tumor with margins of healthy colon. The therapeutic attitude following the surgery is essentially driven by histopathology of the tumor. Adjuvant chemotherapy for all patients with localized stage II provides no benefit because the effectiveness of chemotherapy is limited and vulnerable to systemic toxicity. However, nearly 30% of patients with stage II disease will have a recurrence / metastasis. These patients could benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Intense research efforts have been made to identify markers predictive of relapse. Over thirty biological markers (eg. Mutations, deletions, chromosomal instability, ...) were highlighted. None of them has so far sufficient prognostic value (independent of TNM) to justify routine application in clinical practice in order to adapt the treatment of patients. The identification of new prognostic markers is a major issue for colorectal cancer. We showed that the intratumoral density memory T lymphocytes (CD45RO) and cytotoxic (CD8) strongly influenced the clinical outcome of patients. We have developed and validated a "immunoscore" technique intratumoral immune quantification and creates a platform to facilitate the clinical immuno transfer. We are currently conducting a large international retrospective study (22 centers,\> 9000 patients) with promotion of cancer immunotherapy Company (SITC) to validate the method "immunoscore." At the same time, we are conducting a prospective multicenter study "ImmuCol" (National PHRC) to validate the prognostic value of "immunoscore" in colorectal cancer stage I-IV. The goal of inclusion has been achieved, as 420 patients were included for 18 months. Clinical follow-up will be 3 years after surgery. The program ImmuCol2 research takes advantage of the ImmuCol study to extend the investigation beyond the immunoscore to define the combination of interest, prognostic and theranostic parameters at diagnosis and during the clinical course patients with an objective of personalized medicine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Relapse in relation with the immunoscore determined on a tumor section and criteria defined in the monitoring of patients

    This primary outcome (relapse) will be correlated to the immunoscore and several criteria (dysimmune systemic criteria, malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies in micronutrients, psychological criteria) in order to evaluate their pronostic impact. The measure is a composite outcome.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Relapse in relation with the immune component cancers beyond immunoscore

    Every 3 months during 2 years and every 6 months during the third year

  • Relapse in relation with the immunoscore on biopsies

    Every 3 months during 2 years and every 6 months during the third year

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

The pathologist of each center will choose a tumor block containing the core of the tumor and the invasive margin. Seven tissues sections (five of 4 microns and two of 20 microns) of this tumor bmock will be cut and deposited on glass slides for the immunohistochemical and tumor genetic analysis. If biopsies for diagnostic purpose are available in the laboratory of pathology for the same patient, two tissue sections of 4 microns of each biopsy will be cut and deposited on a glass slide. Two tubes of blood (5 ml tube without anticoagulant) and a 10 ml tube with EDTA will be taken in consultation or hospitalization before the first chemotherapy and at 1 year, 2 years and 3 years. These samples will be used for gene expression analysis and in the search for biological signs of autoimmunity.
