    Abstract: 207 Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among individuals younger than age 50 (young-onset CRC; YOCRC) has increased, yet the etiology and molecular mechanisms underlying this alarming rise remain unclear. Some studies suggest that YOCRCs have more aggressive biology. Here, we compare tumor-associated T cell repertoires between patients with YOCRC and average-onset CRC (AOCRC). A robust, focused T cell response is a positive prognostic indicator; therefore, we hypothesized that YOCRCs demonstrate lower T cell abundance and greater T cell diversity than AOCRCs. Methods: The discovery cohort included 242 patients with histologically confirmed Stage I-IV CRC who underwent surgical resection at Cleveland Clinic from 2000 to 2020 and consented to a biorepository. YOCRC was defined as 〈 50 years at diagnosis (N = 126), and AOCRC as 〉 60 years (N = 116). DNA was extracted from frozen tumors, and T Cell Receptor (TCR) abundance and clonality were measured using immunoSEQ (Adaptive Biotechnologies). Following quality control, logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between TCR repertoire features and age of onset, adjusting for sex, race, tumor location, and stage. Findings were replicated in 152 YOCRC and 1,984 AOCRC cases from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study with adjustment for sex, Jewish ethnicity, tumor location, and stage. Results: YOCRC patients were more likely to have left-sided tumors and be diagnosed at advanced stages in both cohorts. In the discovery cohort, YOCRC tumors had significantly lower TCR clonality (higher T cell diversity) compared to AOCRC tumors in a multivariable model adjusting for sex, race, tumor location and stage (OR: 0.38, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.25-0.56, p 〈 0.0001). This association was also observed in the replication cohort (OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89, p = 0.0013). In the replication cohort, further adjustment for microsatellite instability status did not substantially change the association (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61-0.88 p = 0.0012). When restricting to microsatellite stable tumors, clonality remained statistically significant in both the discovery and replication cohorts. No significant difference in TCR abundance was observed between YOCRC and AOCRC in either cohort. Conclusions: Higher T cell repertoire diversity, indicating a less focused intratumoral T cell response, is more frequently observed in YOCRC. Further studies are warranted to investigate the role of T cell diversity in the etiology and outcomes of YOCRC.

    Abstract: 167 Retraction The abstract by Torrejon et al entitled, “Comparison of comprehensive genomic profiles between young-onset and average-onset colorectal cancer.,” ( Journal of Clinical Oncology 40, no. 4, suppl 167) published on January 19, 2022, has been retracted due to calculation errors. Current age was used for the analysis instead of age at diagnosis. This error significantly changed the results and conclusion of the abstract. Background: The incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC) is rising for unknown reasons. This study assessed for differences in comprehensive genomic profiles between yoCRC and average-onset colorectal cancer (aoCRC). Methods: All patients with CRC seen at Cleveland Clinic that had tumor-based next generation sequencing (NGS) performed as part of their care with a clinically available assay between January 2017 and September 2020 were included. The cohort was divided based on age of diagnosis, with yoCRC defined as age of CRC diagnosis 〈 50 years old. All clinical data and genomic alterations were included for analysis. We assessed for differences in clinical data and NGS findings between yoCRC and aoCRC using Fisher’s exact test, adjusted for primary tumor sidedness. Overall survival (OS) by genomic alteration was estimated by Kaplan-Meier methods and compared using log rank test. Results: The study population comprised of 51 yoCRC patients and 211 aoCRC patients. There were no significant differences in sex, race or ethnicity between yoCRC and aoCRC patients. Compared to aoCRC patients, yoCRC patients were more likely to present at diagnosis with stage IV disease (81% vs. 56%, p = 0.02) and have left-sided primary tumors (69% vs. 60%, p = 0.26). YoCRC tumors were more likely to have mutations in APC, KRAS, TP53 and FLT3 compared to aoCRC tumors, independent of tumor sidedness. These data are summarized in Table. Compared to left-sided tumors, right-sided tumors had significantly higher frequency of KRAS (67.7% vs. 48.8%, p = 0.003), BRAF (15.2% vs. 3.1%, p = 0.0006) and PTEN (16.2% vs. 3.1%, p value = 0.0003) alterations. AoCRC patients had significantly longer OS compared to yoCRC patients (median OS: 70.0 months vs. 36.3 months, p=0.004). Black (37.2 months, n=35) and Asian (37.8 months, n=7) patients had significantly worse median OS compared to White patients (67.8 months, n=199), p-value 0.005. In the overall population, patients with APC mutations had significantly better OS compared to those with APC wildtype tumors (median OS: 92.6 months vs. 54.4 months, p=0.001). Patients with FLT3 mutations had worse median OS compared to those with FLT3 wildtype tumors (median OS: 42.0 months vs. 64.8 months, p=0.007). There were no survival differences based on MSI status. Conclusions: In this series, yoCRC patients were more likely to present with stage IV disease and experienced worse OS compared to aoCRC patients. YoCRC patients were more likely to have mutations in APC, KRAS, TP53 and FLT3, independent of tumor sidedness. Mutations in FLT3 correlated with worse OS.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: 144 Background: The incidence of young onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC) is rising at alarming rates. The gut microbiome may be a factor accounting for the increase. We analyzed differences in the intratumoral microbiome of yoCRC vs average onset CRC (aoCRC) and its clinical impact. Methods: We identified 314 histologically confirmed cases of stage I-IV CRC that underwent surgical resection at our institution from 2000-2020, diagnosed 〈 50 years of age for yoCRC and 〉 60 years for aoCRC, who consented to a prospective biorepository. 36 cases were excluded due to nonmalignant, non-adenocarcinoma or metastatic site specimens. Fresh frozen tissue from the primary tumor with paired adjacent nonmalignant tissue specimens were analyzed. 16S rDNA was isolated and sequence reads were assigned to genus level amplicon sequence variants in DADA2 and analyzed for alpha and beta diversity using Phyloseq. Statistical tests included analysis of variance (ANOVA), permutational multivariate analysis (PERMANOVA), linear regression, and Wilcoxon test. Differential abundance and correlation analysis were adjusted for sex and ethnicity as confounding factors. Correlation analysis was adjusted with Benjamini Hochberg correction. Clinical differences were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Results: Of the cohort of 278 patients, 137 had yoCRC (median age 43 years, range 16-49) and 141 had aoCRC (median age 73 years, range 61-95). yoCRC patients were more likely to have stage III or IV disease at presentation (29% vs 14%, p =0.002; 29% vs 18%, p =0.024 respectively), left sided tumors (74% vs 58%, p =0.003) and receive neoadjuvant therapy (29% vs 15%, p =0.004). yoCRC had significantly higher tumor microbial alpha diversity than aoCRC ( p 〈 2.22e−16, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Beta diversity analysis demonstrated significantly different diversity of genera between the groups (R2=0.12, p =0.001, PERMANOVA). The prevalent taxa identified in both groups were Lactobacillus, Bacillus and Listeria. Differential abundance analysis (ANOVA, p 〈 0.05) revealed a significant variation of intratumoral microbiome (Table). Correlation analysis revealed an association of longer overall survival (OS) with the presence of Akkermansia in yoCRC (R2 =0.36, p 〈 0.001), but not in aoCRC. Conclusions: We found significant differences between the intratumoral microbiome of yoCRC and aoCRC. In particular, Akkermansia, considered a healthy gut microbe, was found in greater relative abundance in yoCRC and correlated with improved OS. Further studies are warranted to understand the nature of association of these microbes with the development of and outcomes in yoCRC. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 174 Background: Novel deleterious effects of environmental exposures may play a role in the rising incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC). We used metabolomics to assess differences between yoCRC and average-onset CRC (aoCRC), in comparison to healthy controls, which may suggest certain exposure risks. Methods: Patients with stage I-IV CRC and healthy controls were identified from prospective biobanks and categorized based on age 〈 50 years (yoCRC or young controls) or age 〉 60 years (aoCRC or older controls). Serum metabolites were profiled using GC-TOF mass spectrometry. Differential abundance of metabolites was investigated using unadjusted logistic regression. Metabolic pathway analysis was performed using Metaboanalyst 5.0. All p-values were adjusted for multiple testing (false-discovery rate, FDR p 〈 0.20 considered significant). Results: The study population comprised 170 CRC patients (66 yoCRC and 104 aoCRC) and 49 healthy controls (34 young and 15 old). Association analyses revealed four differentially abundant metabolites: citrate (FDR p=0.04), cholesterol (0.14), and two unidentified metabolites (UM). Metabolic pathways significantly altered in yoCRC vs. aoCRC included: carbohydrate metabolism (citrate cycle, FDR p=0.11), carbohydrate biosynthesis (glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, FDR p=0.03), amino-acid metabolism (alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, FDR p=0.04, arginine biosynthesis, FDR p=0.04, and amino-acid t-RNA biosynthesis, FDR p=0.04). There were no significant metabolomic differences between young and older controls. Conclusions: We identified significant differences in the citrate cycle - a core pathway of cellular metabolism and associated with colorectal cancer. Metabolomic differences in pathways of carcinogenic significance (aspartate) and environmental exposures (arginine and dietary red meat) were also noted, suggesting potential relationships with younger age of CRC onset. The study provides future directions for more precise analyses with a larger sample size for healthy controls and adjusting for confounders. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 3510 Background: Novel deleterious effects of environmental exposures may play a role in the rising incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC). We used metabolomics to assess differences between yoCRC and average-onset CRC (aoCRC), in comparison to healthy controls, which may provide insight into the pathogenesis and suggest any exposure risks. Methods: Patients with stage I-IV CRC and healthy controls were identified from prospective biobanks and categorized based on age 〈 50 years (yoCRC or young controls) or age 〉 60 years (aoCRC or older controls). Plasma metabolites were profiled using GC-TOF mass spectrometry. Differential abundance of metabolites was investigated using unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression. Metabolic pathway analysis was performed using Metaboanalyst 5.0. All p-values were adjusted for multiple testing (false-discovery rate, FDR p 〈 0.20 considered significant).

There were no significant metabolomic differences between young and old controls. Significant associations on survival analysis included: adipic acid with aoCRC (HR = 3.1, 95% CI = , 1.7-5.6, FDR p = 0.13, unadjusted analysis) suggesting worse survival with higher levels and 4-hydroxyhippuric acid with the whole cohort (HR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.3-0.7, FDR p = 0.05, adjusted analyses) indicating better survival with higher levels. Conclusions: We identified significant differences in the citrate cycle - a core pathway of cellular metabolism associated with colorectal cancer. Metabolomic differences in pathways of carcinogenic significance (aspartate) and environmental exposures (arginine and dietary red meat) were also noted, suggesting potential relationships with younger age of CRC onset.

    Abstract: 13 Background: The occurrence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC) is rising alarmingly, with a disproportionate incidence in Black patients as compared to White. We and others have previously shown differences in tumor microbiomes between yoCRC and average-onset colorectal cancer (aoCRC), but it is unknown if these differences contribute to racial disparities. We therefore analyzed racial differences in the intra-tumoral microbiome of CRC in young adults ( 〈 50 years). Methods: We analyzed 277 samples of histologically confirmed cases of stage I-IV CRC patients identified as either non-Hispanic Black or non-Hispanic White, who underwent surgical resection at Cleveland Clinic from year 2000-2020, who consented to a prospective biorepository. Fresh frozen specimens from the primary tumor with paired adjacent nonmalignant tissue were analyzed. The 16s rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced using V4 region primers and Illumina’s MiSeq system. Using DADA2, the quality filtered 16S rRNA amplicon reads were clustered and annotated as amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). The abundance count matrix was analyzed for alpha and beta diversity and differential abundance analysis (DAA) using Phyloseq package. Statistical tests included analysis of variance (ANOVA), permutational multivariate analysis (PERMANOVA), linear regression and Wilcoxon test. DAA and correlation analysis were controlled for false discovery rate using Benjamini Hochberg correction. Results: Differential abundance analysis highlighted key differences in the microbiome composition of Black and White patients with yoCRC. Amongst Black patients, the most prevalent taxa were Limosilactobacillus, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Listeria and Akkermansia, whereas amongst White patients the most prevalent taxa were Enterococcus and Escherichia-Shigella (Table). Microbial profiles were also significantly different between Black patients with yoCRC and aoCRC and between White patients with yoCRC and aoCRC. At ASV level, the microbiome of Black yoCRC is more similar (R2 =0.87) to Black aoCRC, in comparison to white yoCRC (R2=0.57). Conclusions: We found significant differences between the intra-tumoral microbiome of yoCRC in the United States by race. Future epidemiologic studies and public health interventions need to account for these differences to reduce risk of yoCRC across various US populations. [Table: see text]
