Abstract 4986

Background

Different clinicopathological factors have been associated with survival after liver metastasis resection in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. However, there is a need to better identify those patients who may benefit from metastasis resection. In this retrospective study we aimed to analyse clinical outcomes according to KRAS mutational status in a prospective collected series of mCRC patients.

Methods

We evaluated mCRC patients with exon 2 KRAS mutational status assessed between 2010 and 2014. Exon 2 KRAS mutational analysis was performed by therascreen® or cobas® assays. We excluded patients (pts) with no clinical data available. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

KRAS mutational status was assessed in 395 mCRC patients, but clinical data were only available in 348 patients. Median age was 66 years old. Two hundred and twenty-six patients were male (65%) and 210 pts (60%) had synchronous metastases at diagnosis. KRAS mutations were detected in 175 tumours (51%). Liver was the most common site of metastasis (210 pts, 60%), followed by lung (133 pts, 33%), lymph nodes (56 pts, 16%) and peritoneum (44 pts, 11%). Lung metastases at diagnosis were more frequent in KRAS mutant tumours (38% vs 27%, p-value = 0.022). We observed different metastasis spread pattern between pts with KRAS mutant and KRAS wt tumours. Risk of lung metastasis after 50 months of follow-up was higher in KRAS mutant tumours (77% vs 60%, p=.023). Risk of brain metastasis was also higher (18% vs 2%, p=.012). Median OS was 37 months, with no differences observed between KRAS mutant and KRAS wt tumours (34 vs 41 months, p-value = .70). One hundred thirty-nine patients underwent metastases resection (39.9%). In this subgroup of patients, KRAS mutations were associated with worse DFS (13.3 vs 24.5 months, p-value=.024).

Conclusions

KRAS mutations were associated with lung metastasis in CRC patients and different pattern spread. Although KRAS mutations were not a prognostic biomarker in the metastatic setting, patients with KRAS mutant tumours had a shorter DFS after metastasis resection.
