Abstract

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations. This study aimed to describe the mutation frequency of 12 genes in different CRC phenotypes. Methods Patients who underwent surgery at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital during 2000-2010 for CRC (n = 1249) were enrolled. The endpoint was overall survival. The prognostic value was determined with the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. Results We found 1836 mutations of 12 genes in 997 (79.8%) tumors. Mutations were most frequently in KRAS (485, 38.8%), TP53 (373, 29.9%), APC (363, 29.0%), and PIK3CA (179, 14.3%); 137 (11.0%) cancers had high microsatellite instability (MSI). Women had significantly higher high MSI (14.3%) and BRAF mutation (6.3%) frequencies. The abnormal MSI (21.7%) and KRAS (44.6%), BRAF (8.6%), PIK3CA (19.4%), AKT1 (2.2%), and TGF - βR (9.6%) mutation frequencies were significantly higher in proximal colon cancer. The high MSI (35.6%) and BRAF (20.3%), TGF - βR (18.6%), PTEN (5.1%), and AKT1 (3.4%) mutation frequencies were significantly higher in 59 (4.7%) poorly differentiated tumors. The high MSI (21.3%) and KRAS (51.9%), BRAF (8.3%), PIK3CA (25.0%), AKT1 (4.6%), and SMAD4 (8.3%) mutation frequencies were significantly higher in 108 mucinous tumors. TNM stage, lymphovascular invasion, and mucinous histology were significantly associated with patient outcomes in univariate and multivariate analyses. Only NRAS mutation (hazard ratio 1.59, 95% confidence interval 1.06-2.38) affected patient survival. Conclusions Mutational spectra differ significantly between CRC subtypes, implying diverse carcinogenetic pathways. The NRAS mutation is important, despite its low frequency.

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.
