    Abstract Background: High tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) density was previously shown to be associated with favorable prognosis for patients with colon cancer (CC). However, the impact of TILs on overall survival (OS) of stage II CC patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (ADJ) or not (no-ADJ) is unknown. We assessed the prognostic value of CD3+ TILs in stage II CC patients according to whether they had ADJ or not.
    Methods: Patients treated with curative surgery for stage II CC (2002-2013) were selected from the Santa Maria alle Scotte Hospital registry. TILs at the invasive front, center of tumor, and stroma were determined by immunohistochemistry and manually quantified as the rate of TILs/total tissue areas. High TILs (H-TILs) was defined as >20%. Patients were categorized as high or low TILs (L-TILs) and ADJ or no-ADJ.
    Results: Of the 678 patients included, 137 (20%) received ADJ and 541 (80%) did not. The distribution of the 4 groups were: 16% (L-TIL/ADJ), 64% (L-TIL/no-ADJ), 5% (H-TIL/ADJ), 15% (H-TIL/no-ADJ). Compared to H-TILs/no-ADJ, ADJ patients showed a significantly increased OS (P<.01) regardless of the TILs rate whereas L-TILs/no-ADJ had significantly decreased OS and higher risk of death (HR=1.41; 95% CI, 1.06-1.88; P<.0001). On multivariable analysis, the unfavorable prognostic value of L-TILs (vs. H-TILs) for no-ADJ patients was confirmed (HR=1.36; 95% CI 1.02, 1.82; P=.0373).
    Conclusion: Low CD3+ TILs rate was associated with shorter OS in those with stage II colon cancer who did not receive adjuvant therapy. Low CD3+ TILs could be considered an additional risk factor for still ADJ-untreated stage II CC patients, which could facilitate clinical decision making.

    Abstract The aim of this paper was to evaluate the activity and tolerability of weekly docetaxel (D) combined with weekly epirubicin (EPI) in patients with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) previously exposed to D and abiraterone acetate (AA). Locally advanced or metastatic CRPC patients with 0-2 performance status, who had progressed after D and AA therapy, were included in the study. Previous treatment with chemotherapy agent cabazitaxel was also admitted. Treatment consisted of D 30 mg/m(2) intravenously (i.v.) and EPI 30 mg/m(2) i.v., every week (D/EPI). Chemotherapy was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In our institution, twenty-six patients received D/EPI: their median age was 72 years (range 59-83 years). Twenty-three (88.5%) patients had bone metastases. A decrease in PSA levels ≥50% was observed in seven patients (26.9%, 95% CI: 0.11-0.47); of these, five had achieved a ≥50% PSA response during prior first-line D and six had achieved a PSA response during prior AA Among the subjects who were symptomatic at baseline, pain was reduced in nine patients (38.1%) with a significant decrease in analgesic use. Median progression-free survival was 4.4 months (95% CI, 3-5.2), and median overall survival was 10.7 months (95% CI, 8.9-18.4). Treatment was well tolerated and no grade 4 toxicities were observed. Our findings suggest that weekly D/EPI is feasible and active in heavily pretreated advanced CRPC patients and seem to support the hypothesis that the addition of EPI to D may lead to overcome the resistance to D in a subgroup of patients.
