Association of BRAF Mutations With Survival and Recurrence in Surgically Treated Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Liver Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Importance:BRAF mutations are reportedly associated with aggressive tumor biology. However, in contrast with primary colorectal cancer, the association of V600E and non-V600E BRAF mutations with survival and recurrence after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) has not been well studied. Objective:To investigate the prognostic association of BRAF mutations with survival and recurrence independently and compared with other prognostic determinants, such as KRAS mutations. Design, Setting, and Participants:In this cohort study, all patients who underwent resection for CRLM with curative intent from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2016, at the institutions participating in the International Genetic Consortium for Colorectal Liver Metastasis and had data on BRAF and KRAS mutational status were retrospectively identified. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess long-term outcomes. Interventions:Hepatectomy in patients with CRLM. Main Outcomes and Measures:The association of V600E and non-V600E BRAF mutations with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results:Of 853 patients who met inclusion criteria (510 men [59.8%] and 343 women [40.2%]; mean [SD] age, 60.2 [12.4] years), 849 were included in the study analyses. Forty-three (5.1%) had a mutated (mut) BRAF/wild-type (wt) KRAS (V600E and non-V600E) genotype; 480 (56.5%), a wtBRAF/wtKRAS genotype; and 326 (38.4%), a wtBRAF/mutKRAS genotype. Compared with the wtBRAF/wtKRAS genotype group, patients with a mutBRAF/wtKRAS genotype more frequently were female (27 [62.8%] vs 169 [35.2%]) and 65 years or older (22 [51.2%] vs 176 [36.9%]), had right-sided primary tumors (27 [62.8%] vs 83 [17.4%]), and presented with a metachronous liver metastasis (28 [64.3%] vs 229 [46.8%]). On multivariable analysis, V600E but not non-V600E BRAF mutation was associated with worse OS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.76; 95% CI, 1.74-4.37; P?

Project description:ImportanceKRAS variants are associated with tumor progression; however, the prevalence of KRAS variant subtypes and their association with survival and recurrence in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after curative resection are largely unknown.ObjectiveTo explore the prognostic association of KRAS variant subtypes with survival and recurrence in patients with ICC.Design, setting, and participantsIn this cohort study, patients who underwent curative resection for ICC from January 2009 through December 2016 at a single hospital in China were recruited, and whole-exome sequencing, targeted sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify KRAS variants. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Data were analyzed from April 2020 to January 2021.InterventionsHepatectomy in patients with ICC.Main outcomes and measuresThe association of KRAS variant subtypes with OS and DFS.ResultsOf 1024 included patients with ICC, 621 (60.6%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 59.2 (10.2) years. A total of 14 different subtypes of KRAS somatic variants affecting 127 patients (12.4%) were identified. G12D was the most frequent allele in this cohort, accounting for 55 of 127 identified KRAS variants (43.3%), followed by G12V (25 [19.7%]), G12C (9 [7.1%]), and G13D (8 [6.3%]). Compared with patients with wild-type KRAS, patients with variant KRAS were more likely to have high levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (92 of 127 [72.4%] vs 546 of 897 [60.9%]; P = .01) and γ-glutamyltransferase (72 of 127 [56.7%] vs 420 of 897 [46.8%]; P = .04). Multivariable analysis revealed that G12 KRAS variants but not non-G12 KRAS variants were independently associated with worse OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.69; 95% CI, 1.31-2.18; P < .001) and DFS (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.16-1.88; P = .002). Among the patients with G12 KRAS variants, the G12V KRAS variant was the strongest prognostic determinant for the worst OS (HR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.94-4.79; P < .001) and DFS (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.13-2.85; P = .01).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, the distribution of KRAS variant subtypes was characterized in a large cohort of patients with ICC from China. The presence of G12 KRAS variants but not non-G12 KRAS variants was associated with worse survival and increased risk of recurrence. Patients with the G12V variant exhibited the worst outcomes in the whole cohort.

Project description:ImportanceMetastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) shows frequent and durable responses to programmed cell death 1 blockade. While most of these tumors are sporadic and observed in older patients, first-line pembrolizumab data are limited to findings from the KEYNOTE-177 trial (A Phase III Study of Pembrolizumab [MK-3475] vs Chemotherapy in Microsatellite Instability-High [MSI-H] or Mismatch Repair Deficient [dMMR] Stage IV Colorectal Carcinoma).ObjectiveTo investigate outcome with first-line pembrolizumab monotherapy in mostly older patients with dMMR mCRC at a multisite clinical practice.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study included consecutive patients with dMMR mCRC who received pembrolizumab monotherapy between April 1, 2015, and January 1, 2022, at Mayo Clinic sites and the Mayo Clinic Health System. Patients were identified from review of electronic health records at the sites, which included the evaluation of digitized radiologic imaging studies.InterventionPatients with dMMR mCRC received first-line pembrolizumab, 200 mg, every 3 weeks.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary study end point was progression-free survival (PFS), which was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and a multivariable stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression model. Clinicopathological features, including metastatic site and molecular data (BRAF V600E and KRAS), were also analyzed along with tumor response rate, which was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1.ResultsThe study cohort included 41 patients (median [IQR] age at treatment initiation, 81 [76-86] years; 29 females [71%]) with dMMR mCRC. Of these patients, 30 (79%) had the BRAF V600E variant and 32 (80%) were classified as having sporadic tumors. Median (range) follow-up was 23 (3-89) months. Median (IQR) number of treatment cycles was 9 (4-20). Overall response rate was 49% (20 of 41 patients), including 13 patients (32%) with complete responses and 7 (17%) with partial responses. Median (IQR) PFS was 21 (95% CI, 6-39) months. Liver as a site of metastasis was associated with significantly poorer PFS vs nonliver metastasis (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.27-9.13; adjusted P = .01). Complete and partial responses were observed in 3 patients (21%) with liver metastasis vs 17 patients (63%) with nonliver metastases. Treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events were observed in 8 patients (20%), 2 of whom discontinued therapy; there was 1 treatment-related death.Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study found a clinically significant prolongation of survival in older patients with dMMR mCRC who were treated with first-line pembrolizumab in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, liver vs nonliver metastasis was associated with poorer survival in this patient population, which suggests that the metastatic site has implications for survival outcome.

Project description:BackgroundDifferent RAS/BRAF allele mutations imply distinct biological properties in various solid tumors. Recently, several studies have focused on the predictive and prognostic roles of various RAS/BRAF allele mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) but the results remain controversial.MethodsBetween March 2017 and September 2022, the patients diagnosed as stages I-IV CRC with detailed medical records including next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and clinicopathological follow-up information available at our center were enrolled. Survival data were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference was tested in a log-rank test. Multivariate tests were carried out using Cox models.ResultsA total of 1029 CRC patients were included, and the incidence of RAS/BRAF mutation was 58.4%. The hypermutated cohort was defined as patients with microsatellite instability-H or POLE/D mutation. In the non-hypermutational cohort, only KRAS G13D mutation was associated with a higher incidence and inferior disease-free survival in patients with stage I-III CRC. In the cohort of patients with non-hypermutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), we assessed the risk of various RAS/BRAF allele mutations and subsequently reclassified patients into four groups based on first-line median progression-free survival: wild type (group 1), low-risk RAS/BRAF mutation (group 2, RAS/BRAF mutations other than KRAS G13D/G12V/G12C or BRAF V600E), high-risk RAS mutation (group 3, KRAS G13D/G12V/G12C), and BRAF V600E mutation (group 4). mCRC patients with high-risk RAS mutation could significantly benefit from intensive triplet chemotherapy (hazard ratio, 2.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.36-5.12; p = 0.0091).ConclusionIn the non-hypermutated CRC cohort, the prognostic risk of various RAS/BRAF allele mutations varied between local and metastatic CRC. KRAS G13D mutation tended to be the only prognostic marker for stages I-III CRC; however, KRAS G13D/G12V/G12C mutations collectively defined a high-risk subgroup of mCRC patients with poor prognosis, who would benefit from intensive triplet chemotherapy.
