摘要: Background To prospectively evaluate the usefulness of BRAFV600E mutation detection in daily clinical practice patients with metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Patients and Methods 504 mCRC treated systemic chemotherapy ± biologics were analyzed. Results A statistically significant higher incidence BRAF was observed ECOG-PS 2 (p=0.001), multiple sites (p=0.002),> 65 years old (p=0.004), primary tumors located colon (p<0.001), high-grade (p=0.001) those mucinous features (p=0.037). Patients mutated had a significantly reduced progression-free survival (PFS) compared to wild-type (wt) ones (4.1 11.6 months, respectively; p<0.001) overall (OS) (14.0 vs. 34.6 p<0.001). In multivariate analysis emerged as an independent factor associated PFS (HR: 4.1, 95% CI 2.7–6.2; OS 5.9, 3.7–9.5; Among 273 salvage cetuximab or panitumumab, correlated (2.2 6.0 months; p<0.0001) (4.3 17.4 p<0.0001). Conclusions The presence BRAFV600E-mutation characterizes subgroup distinct biologic, pathological is very poor patients’ prognosis.
