Abstract

Mutations of the KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA genes have been reported in colorectal cancer (CRC), associated with resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted monoclonal antibody therapy. These reports have mainly emanated from Western countries, however, and little is known about the mutation frequencies of these genes and their prognostic value in Asian patients with CRC. In this study, we analyzed the mutation frequencies of these three genes together with EGFR, and their association with overall survival in 61 Chinese patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC). Gene mutations were examined using pyrosequencing. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis were used to assess the prognostic significance of mutations of these four genes for patients' survival. We found that the mutations of KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and EGFR were present in 12 (19.7%), 3 (4.9%), 3 (4.9%), and 0 patients, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that none of these gene mutations correlated significantly with patients' overall survival. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis showed only treatment regimens and age to be independent prognostic factors. Our findings indicate that EGFR signaling...Continue Reading
