Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in Western countries. Over the last 20 years, and the last decade in particular, the clinical outcome for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) has improved greatly due not only to an increase in the number of patients being referred for and undergoing surgical resection of their localised metastatic disease but also to a more strategic approach to the delivery of systemic therapy and an expansion in the use of ablative techniques. This reflects the increase in the number of patients that are being managed within a multidisciplinary team environment and specialist cancer centres, and the emergence over the same time period not only of improved imaging techniques but also prognostic and predictive molecular markers. Treatment decisions for patients with mCRC must be evidence-based. Thus, these ESMO consensus guidelines have been developed based on the current available evidence to provide a series of evidence-based recommendations to assist in the treatment and management of patients with mCRC in this rapidly evolving treatment setting.

  • Patients with colorectal cancer whose tumors harbor a KRAS mutation, including KRAS G12C, do not benefit from anti-EGFR-based therapies and are not eligible for them.

    “Patients with CRC who have tumors harboring a KRAS mutation (including KRAS G12C) do not benefit and thus are not eligible for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor-based therapies8,9.”

    From Divarasib plus cetuximab in KRAS G12C-positive colorectal cancer: a phase 1b trial (2024) · cites this paper as [9]

    The RAS testing section (p. 4) says patients with metastatic colorectal cancer whose tumors have activating KRAS codon 12/13 mutations do not benefit from EGFR antibodies; this includes the codon-12 mutation G12C. It also says cetuximab and panitumumab should be considered only for RAS-wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (p. 5). The citing sentence omits the metastatic-disease qualifier and therefore states the conclusion for a broader CRC population than the guideline addresses. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
