PURPOSE CALGB/SWOG 80405 was a randomized phase III trial that found no statistically significant difference in overall survival (OS) in patients with first-line metastatic colorectal cancer treated with chemotherapy plus either bevacizumab or cetuximab. Primary tumor DNA from 843 patients has been used to discover genetic markers of OS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Gene mutations were determined by polymerase chain reaction. Microsatellite status was determined by genotyping of microsatellites. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined by next-generation sequencing. Cox proportional hazard models were used, with adjusting factors. Interaction of molecular alterations with either the bevacizumab or the cetuximab arms was tested. RESULTS Patients with high TMB in their tumors had longer OS than did patients with low TMB (hazard ratio [HR], 0.73 [95% CI, 0.57 to 0.95]; P = .02). In patients with microsatellite instability–high (MSI-H) tumors, longer OS was observed in the bevacizumab arm than in the cetuximab arm (HR, 0.13 [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.30]; interaction P < .001 for interaction between microsatellite status and the two arms). Patients with BRAF mutant tumors had shorter OS than did patients with wild-type (WT) tumors (HR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.49 to 2.71]; P < .001). Patients with extended RAS mutant tumors had shorter OS than did patients with WT tumors (HR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.26 to 1.84]; P < .001). Patients with triple-negative tumors (WT for NRAS/ KRAS/ BRAF) had a median OS of 35.9 months (95% CI, 33.0 to 38.8 months) versus 22.2 months (95% CI, 19.6 to 24.4 months ) in patients with at least one mutated gene in their tumors ( P < .001). CONCLUSION In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated in first line, low TMB, and BRAF and RAS mutations are negative prognostic factors. Patients with MSI-H tumors benefited more from bevacizumab than from cetuximab, and studies to confirm this effect of MSI-H are warranted.

Abstract Objectives: Our aim was to determine how well immunohistochemical analysis identified colon cancer patients with microsatellite instability in Turkish patients. Material and methods: Subjects were patients that underwent surgery for colorectal cancer in our institution between 2006 and 2011. Patients were grouped as: (1) suspected Lynch syndrome (n=14), (2) familial colorectal cancer (n=14), and (3) sporadic colorectal cancer groups (n=14). Mismatch repair proteins were analyzed by a four antibody-panel immunohistochemistry. Microsatellite instability analysis was conducted on DNA samples using MSI-PCR followed by fragment analysis. Results: The immunohistochemistry and PCR results had good concordance in 35/42 patients. Both microsatellite instability and at least one mismatch repair protein deficiency were detected in 11 patients, and both microsatellite stability and normal expression of mismatch repair proteins were detected in 24 patients. Test results were discordant in seven of the patients. Conclusion: As it is not feasible to perform expensive molecular tests in healthcare units in many developing countries, the four antibody-panel immunohistochemistry is a reliable and affordable method for screening for colorectal cancer, including Lynch syndrome and sporadic cases when suspected.

Abstract Context.—Of all gastrointestinal tract epithelial malignancies, molecular diagnostics has impacted colorectal cancer the most. Molecular testing can detect sporadic and inherited colorectal cancers that arise through the microsatellite instability pathway and can determine the efficacy of targeted drug therapy. Objectives.—To review the microsatellite instability pathway of colorectal carcinoma carcinogenesis and to demonstrate the diagnostic utility of molecular testing in the detection of patients with Lynch syndrome, an inherited disorder of this pathway. Also, to review the significance of detection of KRAS and BRAF gene mutations in predicting the response to anti–epidermal growth factor receptor therapies. Data Sources.—This article is based on original publications and review articles that are accessible through the PubMed biomedical database (US National Library of Medicine). Conclusions.—In modern pathology practice, molecular testing is a standard tool that is used to diagnose an inherited colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome (Lynch syndrome) and to help predict outcome and response to therapy for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
