Obesity is strongly linked with chronic systemic inflammation, and each has been linked with progression and survival in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the joint prognostic effects of obesity and circulating cytokines in metastatic CRC (mCRC), an understudied patient group. In 242 chemotherapy naïve mCRC patients, we measured a multiplex cytokine panel and abstracted clinical-pathological features, height, and weight from medical records. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of diagnosis until the date of death from any cause and evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. Cut points for cytokines were determined by restricted cubic spline regression. In multivariable models, elevated interleukin (IL)-8, IL-2 receptor alpha and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) emerged as significant predictors of poor OS [hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for above vs. below (ref) knot point: 2.5 (1.7, 3.7); 1.9 (1.3, 2.7); and 2.2 (1.6, 3.1), respectively; all P<0.001]. Obesity (BMI>30) was not associated with OS, but appeared to modify the relationships observed with IL-8 and LDH, which were associated with a significant 4- and 5-fold risk of death in obese patients, as compared to a 2-fold risk of death in non-obese patients (P-interaction= 0.06 and 0.04, respectively). Similar results emerged from joint effects analysis, where obese patients with high IL-8 (or LDH) experienced the highest risk of death. Although obesity itself was not independently associated with survival in mCRC patients, the adverse prognostic importance of LDH and IL-8 was enhanced in obese patients.
