| Popis: | 242 Background: While the 5-year recurrence rate in early stage CRC is low (12%) and there is currently limited role of adjuvant chemotherapy in such cases, a unique subset of patients (pts) will have late recurrences. To identify molecular signatures predictive of late recurrence after pts undergo intended curative resection, we employed a 22 targeted gene NGS panel in pts with early CRC. Association between mutation status and recurrence free survival (RFS) was analyzed. Methods: Pts with stage I-II CRC had their tumor prospectively sequenced between 09/2015-12/2018 by an ion torrent targeted 22 gene hotspot NGS panel, including KRAS, EGFR, BRAF, PIK3CA, AKT1, ERBB2/4, PTEN, NRAS, STK11, MAP2K1, ALK, DDR2, CTNNB1, MET, TP53, SMAD4, FBX7, NOTCH1, and FGFR1/2/3. Associations were analyzed with unadjusted p-values (p) and Benjamini & Hochberg adjusted (BHp) shown. Results: Clinical and pathologic data from 180 pts were analyzed: median age 66 (range 24-86), male (47%), stage I (41%), stage II (69%), left (54%) vs right (36%) sided primary tumors, and microsatellite stable (85%). 35 (19%) pts had adjuvant therapy (n = 21 rectal, n = 14 colon). Pathological mutations were found in 160 (89%) of pts, including TP53 (56%), KRAS (44%), PIK3CA (22%), BRAF (12%), SMAD4 (8%), MET (6%) and NRAS (3%). There was only 1 case of ERBB2 mutation. 33 pts (18%) had evidence of recurrence. 36 month RFS was 82%. Common sites of recurrence included liver (13 pts, 39%), lung (10 pts, 30%), and bone (2 pts, 6%). Alterations in MET cDNA and protein were associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR = 4.1; p =0.0026, BHp= 0.057). Interestingly, while TP53 mutations are typically associated with worse prognosis in metastatic colorectal cancers, it was not associated with RFS (HR = 0.8; p = 0.55, BHp= 0.98). There was also no association between the number of gene alterations and RFS (p = 0.45). Conclusions: These data highlight that targeted NGS tumor profiling of early stage CRC, including sequencing MET among other genes, may be utilized alongside known prognostic pathological factors to predict pts with a higher risk of recurrence and may facilitate tailored adjuvant chemotherapy to mitigate this risk. |
