摘要: Activating mutation of KRAS and BRAF are focused on as potential prognostic predictive biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated anti-EGFR therapies. This study investigated the clinicopathological features impact KRAS/BRAF advanced recurrent CRC patients. Patients systemic chemotherapy (n=229) were analysed for genotypes by cycleave PCR. Prognostic factors associated survival identified univariate multivariate analyses using Cox proportional hazards model. mutations present 34.5% 6.5% patients, respectively. mutated tumours more likely to develop right colon, be poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma or mucinous carcinoma, peritoneal metastasis. The median overall (OS) mutation-positive 13 was 11.0 27.7 months, respectively, which significantly worse than that wild-type (wt) (40.6 months) (BRAF; HR=4.25, P<0.001, KRAS13; HR=2.03, P=0.024). After adjustment significant regression analysis, poor OS (HR=4.23, P=0.019). Presence is one most powerful CRC. KRAS13 showed a trend towards
