Impact of BRAF mutation and microsatellite instability on the pattern of metastatic spread and prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancer
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: It is hypothesized that BRAF mutant cancers represent a discrete subset of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) defined by poorer survival. This study investigates whether BRAF mutant CRC is further defined by a distinct pattern of metastatic spread and explores the impact of BRAF mutation and microsatellite instability (MSI) on prognosis in metastatic CRC. METHODS: By using prospective clinical data and molecular analyses from 2 major centers (Royal Melbourne Hospital and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center), patients with known BRAF mutation status were analyzed for clinical characteristics, survival, and metastatic sites. RESULTS: The authors identified 524 metastatic CRC patients where BRAF mutation status was known; 57 (11%) were BRAF mutant tumors. BRAF mutant tumors were significantly associated with right‐sided primary tumor, MSI, and poorer survival (median, 10.4 months vs 34.7 months, P < .001). A distinct pattern of metastatic spread was observed in BRAF mutant tumors, namely higher rates of peritoneal metastases (46% vs 24%, P = .001), distant lymph node metastases (53% vs 38%, P = .008), and lower rates of lung metastases (35% vs 49%, P = .049). In additional survival analyses, MSI tumors had significantly poorer survival compared with microsatellite stable tumors (22.1 months vs 11.1 months, P = .017), but this difference was not evident in the BRAF mutant population. CONCLUSIONS: The pattern of metastatic spread observed in this study further defines BRAF mutant CRC as a discrete disease subset. The authors demonstrated that, unlikely early stage disease, MSI is associated with poorer survival in metastatic CRC, although this is driven by its association with BRAF mutation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
