ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We evaluated the association between a KRAS mutational status and various clinicopathologic features including the metastatic pattern in patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer (MRCRC). The concordance rates of the KRAS status between primary tumor sites and paired metastatic organs were also analyzed. METHODS: The KRAS mutational status in codons 12, 13, and 61 from formalin-fixed sections of both primary tumors and related metastases was determined by sequencing analysis. One hundred forty-three Korean patients with MRCRC with available tissues (resection or biopsy) from both primary tumors and related metastatic sites were consecutively enrolled. RESULTS: The KRAS mutation rate was 52.4 % (75/143) when considering both the primary and metastatic sites. When the relationship between the KRAS status and initial metastatic sites at the time of diagnosis of MRCRC was analyzed, lung metastasis was more frequent as the initial metastatic site in patients with the KRAS mutation than in patients without the KRAS mutation (45.3 % vs. 22.1 %; P = 0.003). However, liver (37.3 % vs. 70.6 %; P < 0.001) or distant lymph node metastases (6.7 % vs. 19.1 %; P = 0.025) were less frequent as the initial metastatic organ in patients with the KRAS mutation than in patients without the KRAS mutation. The discordance rate of KRAS mutational status between primary and paired metastatic sites other than the lung was 12.3 % (13/106). Compared with primary tumor sites, the KRAS discordance rate was significantly higher in matched lung metastases [32.4 % (12/37)] than in other matched metastatic organs (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Organs initially involved by distant metastasis were different according to the KRAS mutational status in MRCRC patients. The concordance rate (87.7 %) of the KRAS mutation status at metastatic sites other than the lung was generally high compared with primary tumor sites; however, lung metastasis had a high rate of KRAS discordance (32.4 %). 相似文献

Increased understanding of the genetic aetiology of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) has facilitated personalised therapies that target specific molecular aberrations associated with the disease. Biopsy samples for mutation testing may be taken from primary or metastatic sites, depending on which sample is most accessible, and upon differing diagnostic practices between territories. However, the mutation status concordance between primary tumours and corresponding metastases is the subject of debate. This review aims to ascertain whether molecular diagnostic testing of either the primary or metastatic tumours is equally suitable to determine patient eligibility for targeted therapies. A literature search was performed to identify articles reporting studies of mutations in matched primary and metastatic aNSCLC tumour samples. Clinical results of mutation status concordance between matched primary and metastatic tumour samples from patients with aNSCLC were collated. Articles included in this review (N =26) all reported mutation status data from matched primary and metastatic tumour samples obtained from adult patients with aNSCLC. Generally, substantial concordance was observed between primary and metastatic tumours in terms of EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, p16 and p53 mutations. However, some level of discordance was seen in most studies; mutation testing methodologies appeared to play a key role in this, along with underlying tumour heterogeneity. Substantial concordance in mutation status observed between primary and metastatic tumour sites suggests that diagnostic testing of either tumour type may be suitable to determine a patient’s eligibility for personalised therapies. As with all diagnostic testing, highly sensitive and appropriately validated mutation analysis methodologies are desirable to ensure accuracy. Additional work is also required to define how much discordance is clinically significant given natural tumour heterogeneity. The ability of both primary and metastatic tumour sites to accurately reflect the tumour mutation status will allow more patients to receive therapies personalised to their disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:
The objective of this study was to determine whether the mutation status of the v‐Ki‐ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) differed between primary tumors and matched distant metastases in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS:
Patients who underwent resection for both primary NSCLC and matched distant metastases were included in the study. KRAS and EGFR mutation status were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and direct sequencing on both primary tumors and metastases. For KRAS analysis, mutant‐enriched PCR (ME‐PCR) was performed in case of discordance between a primary tumor and its matched metastasis.RESULTS:
Twenty‐one patients were included. No EGFR mutations were detected. KRAS mutations were detected in 6 patients (28%). In all patients, the mutations identified by direct sequencing were discordant between the primary tumor and the matched metastasis. The use of ME‐PCR allowed a resolution of the discordance in 3 of the 6 cases by demonstrating the presence of low levels of mutant KRAS in lesions that were negative by direct sequencing.CONCLUSIONS:
Highly sensitive tools are required to identify biomarkers. The KRAS mutation status mostly was concordant between primary tumors and matched distant metastases. In a few patients, KRAS mutation status differed between different tumor sites. Cancer 2010. © 2010 American Cancer Society. 相似文献4.

Cetuximab and panitumumab efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) may be influenced by EGFR gene status and/or deregulation of its downstream signalling proteins detected in primary tumour. However, metastasis might have different molecular patterns with respect to primary tumour, possibly affecting the prediction of EGFR-targeted therapy efficacy. We analysed primary tumour and metastasis in 38 mCRC patients. Twelve cases were cetuximab/panitumumab treated. EGFR gene status and protein expression were investigated through fluorescent in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry (IHC), K-Ras/BRAF mutations by sequencing and PTEN expression by IHC. We observed EGFR gene deregulation in 25 out of 36 primary tumours and 29 out of 36 metastases, K-Ras mutations in 16 out of 37 cancers and in 15 out of 37 metastases, BRAF mutations in 2 out of 36 cancers and 2 out of 36 metastases and PTEN loss in 8 out of 38 cancers and 12 out of 38 metastases. For the first time in literature, we show that primary colorectal cancer and paired metastasis may exhibit difference with respect to EGFR pathway deregulation mechanisms possibly implying a different response to cetuximab or panitumumab treatment. The investigation of treated patients confirms this hypothesis. We therefore suggest that the analysis of metastatic lesion should be considered in patient management as well as in designing future clinical trials aimed to investigate the effect of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of mCRC. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: KRAS mutation is a negative predictive factor for treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Novel predictive markers are required to further improve the selection of patients for this treatment. We assessed the influence of modification of KRAS by gene copy number aberration (CNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in correlation to clinical outcome in mCRC patients treated with cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy and bevacizumab. METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary tumour tissue was used from 34 mCRC patients in a phase III trial, who were selected based upon their good (n=17) or poor (n=17) progression-free survival (PFS) upon treatment with cetuximab in combination with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab. Gene copy number at the KRAS locus was assessed using high resolution genome-wide array CGH and the expression levels of 17 miRNAs targeting KRAS were determined by real-time PCR. RESULTS: Copy number loss of the KRAS locus was observed in the tumour of 5 patients who were all good responders including patients with a KRAS mutation. Copy number gains in two wild-type KRAS tumours were associated with a poor PFS. In KRAS mutated tumours increased miR-200b and decreased miR-143 expression were associated with a good PFS. In wild-type KRAS patients, miRNA expression did not correlate with PFS in a multivariate model. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the assessment of KRAS CNA and miRNAs targeting KRAS might further optimize the selection of mCRC eligible for anti-EGFR therapy. 相似文献

In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and K-RAS mutations of the primary tumour are associated with responsiveness and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), respectively. However, the EGFR and K-RAS mutation status in metastases is not well studied. We compared the mutation status of these genes between the primary tumours and the corresponding metastases of 25 patients. Epidermal growth factor receptor and K-RAS mutation status was different between primary tumours and corresponding metastases in 7 (28%) and 6 (24%) of the 25 patients, respectively. Among the 25 primary tumours, three ‘hotspot'' and two non-classical EGFR mutations were found; none of the corresponding metastases had the same mutation pattern. Among the five (20%) K-RAS mutations detected in the primary tumours, two were maintained in the corresponding metastasis. Epidermal growth factor receptor and K-RAS mutations were detected in the metastatic tumours of three (12%) and five (20%) patients, respectively. The expressions of EGFR and phosphorylated EGFR showed 10 and 50% discordance, in that order. We conclude that there is substantial discordance in EGFR and K-RAS mutational status between the primary tumours and corresponding metastases in patients with NSCLC and this might have therapeutic implications when treatment with TKIs is considered. 相似文献

Background: The investigation of mutation patterns in oncogenes potentially can make available a reliable mechanism for management and treatment decisions for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study concerns the rate of KRAS and BRAF genes mutations in Iranian metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, as well as associations of genotypes with clinicopathological features. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,000 mCRC specimens collected from 2008 to 2012 that referred to the Mehr Hospital and Partolab center, Tehran, Iran enrolled in this cross sectional study. Using HRM, Dxs Therascreen and Pyrosequencing methods, we analyzed the mutational status of KRAS and BRAF genes in these. Results: KRAS mutations were present in 33.6% cases (n=336). Of KRAS mutation positive cases, 85.1% were in codon 12 and 14.9% were in codon 13. The most frequent mutation at KRAS codon 12 was Gly12Asp; BRAF mutations were not found in any mCRC patients (n=242). In addition, we observed a strong correlation of KRAS mutations with some clinicopathological characteristics. Conclusions: KRAS mutations are frequent in mCRCs while presence of BRAF mutations in these patients is rare. Moreover, associations of KRAS genotypes with non mucinous adenocarcinoma and depth of invasion (pT3) were remarkable. 相似文献

Patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) carrying activating mutations of the KRAS gene do not benefit from treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies. Therefore, KRAS mutation testing of mCRC patients is mandatory in the clinical setting for the choice of the most appropriate therapy. Co-amplification-at-lower denaturation-temperature PCR (COLD-PCR) is a novel modification of the conventional PCR method that selectively amplifies minority alleles from a mixture of wild-type and mutant sequences irrespective of the mutation type or position within the sequence. In this study, we compared the sensitivity of a COLD-PCR method with conventional PCR/sequencing and the real-time PCR-based Therascreen kit to detect KRAS mutations. By using dilutions of KRAS mutant DNA in wild-type DNA from colon cancer cell lines with known KRAS status, we found that Fast COLD-PCR is more sensitive than the conventional PCR method, showing a sensitivity of 2.5% in detecting G>A and G>T mutations. The detection of G>C transversions was not improved by either Fast COLD-PCR or Full COLD-PCR. We next analyzed by COLD-PCR, conventional PCR and Therascreen 52 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from mCRC patients. Among 36 samples with >30% tumor cells, 8 samples were negative by conventional PCR, Therascreen and Fast COLD-PCR; 20 mutations identified by conventional PCR were confirmed by Therascreen and Fast COLD-PCR; 8 cases undetermined by conventional PCR were all confirmed to carry KRAS G>A or G>T mutations by using either Therascreen or Fast COLD-PCR. Conventional PCR was able to detect only 2 KRAS mutations among 16 samples with <30% tumor cells (12.5%), whereas Therascreen and Fast COLD-PCR identified 6 mutants (37.5%). These data suggest that Fast COLD-PCR has a higher clinical sensitivity as compared with conventional PCR in detecting G>C to A>T changes in the KRAS gene, which represent >90% of the mutations of this oncogene in CRC. 相似文献

Although anti‐EGFR therapy has established efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer, only 10‐20% of unselected patients respond. This is partly due to KRAS and BRAF mutations, which are currently assessed in the primary tumor. To improve patient selection, assessing mutation status in circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which possibly better represent metastases than the primary tumor, could be advantageous. We investigated the feasibility of KRAS and BRAF mutation detection in colorectal CTCs by comparing three sensitive methods and compared mutation status in matching primary tumor, liver metastasis and CTCs. CTCs were isolated from blood drawn from 49 patients before liver resection using CellSearch?. DNA and RNA was isolated from primary tumors, metastases and CTCs. Mutations were assessed by co‐amplification at lower denaturation temperature‐PCR (Transgenomic?), real‐time PCR (EntroGen?) and nested Allele‐Specific Blocker (ASB‐)PCR and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. In 43 of the 49 patients, tissue RNA and DNA was of sufficient quantity and quality. In these 43 patients, discordance between primary and metastatic tumor was 23% for KRAS and 7% for BRAF mutations. RNA and DNA from CTCs was available from 42 of the 43 patients, in which ASB‐PCR was able to detect the most mutations. Inconclusive results in patients with low CTC counts limited the interpretation of discrepancies between tissue and CTCs. Determination of KRAS and BRAF mutations in CTCs is challenging but feasible. Of the tested methods, nested ASB‐PCR, enabling detection of KRAS and BRAF mutations in patients with as little as two CTCs, seems to be superior. 相似文献

PURPOSE To compare the mutational and copy number profiles of primary and metastatic colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) using both unpaired and paired samples derived from primary and metastatic disease sites. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a multiplatform genomic analysis of 736 fresh frozen CRC tumors from 613 patients. The cohort included 84 patients in whom tumor tissue from both primary and metastatic sites was available and 31 patients with pairs of metastases. Tumors were analyzed for mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and TP53 genes, with discordant results between paired samples further investigated by analyzing formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue and/or by 454 sequencing. Copy number aberrations in primary tumors and matched metastases were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Results TP53 mutations were more frequent in metastatic versus primary tumors (53.1% v 30.3%, respectively; P < .001), whereas BRAF mutations were significantly less frequent (1.9% v 7.7%, respectively; P = .01). The mutational status of the matched pairs was highly concordant (> 90% concordance for all five genes). Clonality analysis of array CGH data suggested that multiple CRC primary tumors or treatment-associated effects were likely etiologies for mutational and/or copy number profile differences between primary tumors and metastases. CONCLUSION For determining RAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutational status, genotyping of the primary CRC is sufficient for most patients. Biopsy of a metastatic site should be considered in patients with a history of multiple primary carcinomas and in the case of TP53 for patients who have undergone interval treatment with radiation or cytotoxic chemotherapies. 相似文献

Clinical studies overseas using the therapeutic anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, cetuximab or panitumumab against metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC), have revealed KRAS mutations as a negative predictive marker of response. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan approved medical reimbursement of the KRAS mutation test in April 2010. Anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapies are now used as first-line treatment for patients with mCRC. To advance the simple high-throughput KRAS mutation test, we established a high-throughput screening system for detecting KRAS mutations utilizing Luminex(xMAP)technology(the fluorescent bead-based multiplex analyte profiling method), in combination with the polymerase chain reaction-reverse sequence-specific oligonucleotide method. Here we evaluated the basic performance of our system and confirmed its high specificity and reproducibility in detecting KRAS mutations at codons 12 and 13 in both plasmid DNAs carrying mutant KRAS genes and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from mCRC patients. We demonstrated the KRAS mutation status in paraffin-embedded tissues of mCRC and confirmed that the results were comparable to those of the direct sequencing method. Our high-throughput method has an advantage in simultaneous analysis of multiple mutations in one well of 96-well PCR plates, and will advance the KRAS mutation test in clinical laboratories. 相似文献

Oestrogen receptor status of primary breast carcinomas and their metastases. Relation to pattern of spread and survival after recurrence 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Immunohistochemical antibody techniques for detection of oestrogen receptors (ER) were applied to formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections from 62 primary breast cancers, the metastases of their original regional lymph nodes (29 cases), bone marrow carcinosis (43 cases) and liver metastases (20 cases). Forty per cent of the primary tumours and 31% of the regional lymph node metastases were ER positive; in contrast, less than 20% of liver and bone marrow metastases were ER positive. The ER status of regional lymph node metastases was concordant with that of the primary tumour in 90% of the cases. The concordance rate was 75% for liver metastases and 58% for bone metastases. Patients with ER positive primary tumours had recurrence significantly more often in bone; ER negative tumours recurred more often in the liver. The survival after recurrence (SAR) was significantly related to the ER status of the primary tumour and to that of the regional lymph node metastases. In contrast, the SAR was not associated with the ER status of bone marrow carcinosis or liver metastases. Cox analyses showed that age and ER status of the primary tumour were the most important independent prognostic factors compared to other clinical, therapeutic, pathoanatomical and biochemical features. The study supports the hypothesis that tumour cell clones with different ER content are selected and adapted to grow in various anatomical sites. Moreover, the ER status of the primary tumour seems to be more important for the prognosis than the ER status of bone and liver metastases. 相似文献

In the patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), RAS testing is the first step to identify those that could benefit from anti-EGFR therapy. This study examined associations between KRAS mutations and clinicopathological and survival data in Iranian patients with mCRC. Between 2008 to2015 in a retrospective study, 83 cases of mCRC were referred to the Clinic of Medical Oncology. The mean follow-up was 45 months that there were 27 deaths. The 3 patients that did not complete follow-up were censored from the study. KRAS and NRAS were analyzed using allele-specific PCR primers and pyrosequencing in exons 2, 3 and 4. Multivariate survival analysis using Cox's regression model was used for affecting of variables on overall survival (OS). The mean age at diagnosis for patients was 57.7 (range, 18 to 80 years) and 61.4% were male. There was no significant different between prognostic factors and KRAS mutation with wild-type. Also, There was no significant different between KRAS mutation and KRAS wild-type for survival, but there was a significant different between KRAS 12 and 13 mutations for survival (HR 0.13, 95% CI 0.03-0.66, P=0.01). In conclusion, the prevalence of KRAS mutations in CRC patients was below 50% but higher than in other studies in Iran. As in many studies, patients with KRAS 12 mutations had better OS thn those with KRAS 13 mutation. In addition to KRAS testing, other biomarkers are needed to determine the best treatment for patients with mCRC. 相似文献

Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients carrying KRAS mutated tumors do not benefit from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted cetuximab- or panitumumab-based therapies. Indeed, the mutational status of KRAS is currently a validated predictive biomarker employed to select mCRC patients for EGFR targeted drugs. When patients fail standard 5-fluorouracil-, oxaliplatin-, irinotecan- and bevacizumab-based therapies, EGFR-targeted salvage therapy can be prescribed only for those individuals with KRAS wild-type cancer. Thus, clinicians are now facing the urgent issue of better understanding the biology of KRAS mutant disease, in order to devise novel effective therapies in such defined genetic setting. In addition to KRAS, recent data point out that BRAF and PIK3CA exon 20 mutations hamper response to EGFR-targeted treatment in mCRC, potentially excluding from treatment also patients with these molecular alterations in their tumor. This review will focus on current knowledge regarding the molecular landscape of mCRC including and beyond KRAS, and will summarize novel rationally-developed combinatorial regimens that are being evaluated in early clinical trials. 相似文献

The impact of KRAS mutations on cetuximab sensitivity in epidermal growth factor receptor fluorescence in situ hybridisation-positive (EGFR FISH+) metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC) has not been previously investigated. In the present study, we analysed KRAS, BRAF, PI3KCA, MET, and IGF1R in 85 mCRC treated with cetuximab-based therapy in whom EGFR status was known. KRAS mutations (52.5%) negatively affected response only in EGFR FISH+ patients. EGFR FISH+/KRAS mutated had a significantly lower response rate (P=0.04) than EGFR FISH+/KRAS wild type patients. Four EGFR FISH+ patients with KRAS mutations responded to cetuximab therapy. BRAF was mutated in 5.0% of patients and none responded to the therapy. PI3KCA mutations (17.7%) were not associated to cetuximab sensitivity. Patients overexpressing IGF1R (74.3%) had significantly longer survival than patients with low IGF1R expression (P=0.006), with no difference in response rate. IGF1R gene amplification was not detected, and only two (2.6%) patients, both responders, had MET gene amplification. In conclusion, KRAS mutations are associated with cetuximab failure in EGFR FISH+ mCRC, even if it does not preclude response. The rarity of MET and IGF1R gene amplification suggests a marginal role in primary resistance. The potential prognostic implication of IGF1R expression merits further evaluation. 相似文献

Background:
KRAS mutations are predictive markers for the efficacy of anti-EGFR antibody therapies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Although the mutational status of KRAS is reportedly highly concordant between primary and metastatic lesions, it is not yet clear whether genotoxic chemotherapies might induce additional mutations.Methods:
A total of 63 lesions (23 baseline primary, 18 metastatic and 24 post-treatment metastatic) from 21 patients who were treated with FOLFOX as adjuvant therapy for stage III/IV colorectal cancer following curative resection were examined. The DNA samples were obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens, and KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations were evaluated.Results:
The numbers of primary lesions with wild-type and mutant KRAS codons 12 and 13 were 8 and 13, respectively. The mutational status of KRAS remained concordant between the primary tumours and the post-FOLFOX metastatic lesions, irrespective of patient background, treatment duration and disease-free survival. Furthermore, the mutational statuses of the other genes evaluated were also concordant between the primary and metastatic lesions.Conclusion:
Because the mutational statuses of predictive biomarker genes were not altered by FOLFOX therapy, specimens from both primary tumours and post-FOLFOX tumour metastases might serve as valid sources of DNA for known genomic biomarker testing. 相似文献19.

In sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC), KRAS are alternative to BRAF mutations and occur, respectively, in 30 and 10% of cases. Few reports addressed the association between KRAS-BRAF mutations and tumour progression specifically in sporadic microsatellite-stable (MSS) CRC. We screened KRAS and BRAF in 250 MSS primary CRC and 45 lymph node (LN) metastases and analysed the pathological features of the cases to understand the involvement of KRAS-BRAF activation in progression and metastasis. Forty-five per cent of primary MSS CRCs carried mutations in at least one of these genes and mutations were associated with wall invasion (P=0.02), presence and number of LN metastases (P=0.02 and P=0.03, respectively), distant metastases (P=0.004) and advanced stage (P=0.01). We demonstrated that KRAS and BRAF are alternative events in Tis and T1 MSS CRC and, KRAS rather than BRAF mutations, contributed to the progression of MSS CRC. The frequency of KRAS and/or BRAF mutations was higher in LN metastases than in primary carcinomas (P=0.0002). Mutated LN metastases displayed KRAS associated or not with BRAF mutations. BRAF mutations were never present as a single event. Concomitant KRAS and BRAF mutations increased along progression of MSS CRCs, suggesting that activation of both genes is likely to harbour a synergistic effect. 相似文献

IntroductionRetrospective studies and meta-analyses suggest that upfront primary tumour resection (UPTR) confers a survival benefit in patients with asymptomatic unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) undergoing chemotherapy, however a consensus of its role in routine clinical practice in the current era of targeted therapies is lacking. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the survival benefit of UPTR in terms of tumour location and mutational status, in patients with synchronous mCRC receiving chemotherapy and targeted therapy.Patients and methodsSurvival was analysed in a pooled cohort of synchronous mCRC patients treated with a first-line anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR inhibitor in seven trials of the Spanish TTD group, according to UPTR, tumour-sidedness and mutational profiling.ResultsOf 1334 eligible patients, 642 (48%) had undergone UPTR. UPTR was associated with significantly longer overall survival (OS; 25.0 vs 20.3 months; HR 1.30, 95%CI 1.15–1.48; p < 0.0001). UPTR was associated with significant OS benefit in both left-sided (HR 1.38, 95%CI 1.13–1.69; p = 0.002) and right-sided (HR 1.39, 95%CI 1.00–1.94; p = 0.049) tumours, RASwt (HR 1.29, 95%CI 1.05–1.60; p = 0.016) and BRAFwt (HR 1.49, 95%CI 1.21–1.84; p = 0.0002) tumours, and treatment with anti-EGFRs (HR 1.47, 95%CI 1.13–1.92; p = 0.004) and anti-VEGFs (HR 1.25, 95%CI 1.08–1.44; p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis identified number of metastatic sites, RAS status, primary tumour location and UPTR as independent prognostic factors for OS.ConclusionConsidering the selection bias inherent to this study, our results support UPTR before first-line anti-EGFR or anti-VEGF targeted therapy in right and left-sided asymptomatic unresectable synchronous mCRC patients. RAS/BRAF mutational status may also influence UPTR function. 相似文献
