KRAS and BRAF mutations are prognostic biomarkers in patients undergoing lung metastasectomy of colorectal cancer
Background: We evaluated KRAS ( mKRAS (mutant KRAS )) and BRAF ( mBRAF (mutant BRAF )) mutations to determine their prognostic potential in assessing patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) for lung metastasectomy. Methods: Data were reviewed from 180 patients with a diagnosis of CRC who underwent a l...

Zusammenfassung: | Background:
We evaluated KRAS (
mKRAS
(mutant
KRAS
)) and BRAF (
mBRAF
(mutant
BRAF
)) mutations to determine their prognostic potential in assessing patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) for lung metastasectomy.
Methods:
Data were reviewed from 180 patients with a diagnosis of CRC who underwent a lung metastasectomy between January 1998 and December 2011.
Results:
Molecular analysis revealed
mKRAS
in 93 patients (51.7%),
mBRAF
in 19 patients (10.6%). In univariate analyses, overall survival (OS) was influenced by thoracic nodal status (median OS: 98 months for pN−, 27 months for pN+,
