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+, P
