Popis: This is a post hoc analysis of biomarkers from a large cohort of patients with chemo-naive metastatic colorectal cancer. Both high baseline circulating tumor cell count and RAS mutated were associated with clinical or pathologic features classically associated with poor prognosis. Selection of high- and low-risk populations may help to individualize approaches in the future. Background: Clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic and predictive factors offer valuable guidance when selecting optimal first-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The association between baseline circulating tumor cell (bCTC) count, molecular tumor profile, and clinicopathologic features was analyzed in a chemo-naive metastatic CRC population. Patients and Methods: A total of 1202 patients from the Spanish VISNU-1 (FOLFIRINOX/bevacizumab vs. FOLFOX/bevacizumab) and VISNU-2 (FOLFIRI/bevacizumab vs. FOLFIRI/cetuximab; RAS-wildtype) studies were analyzed for mutational status and bCTC count. The association between clinicopathologic characteristics and bCTC count, mutational status, and microsatellite instability (MSI) was analyzed in 589 eligible patients. Results: Interestingly, 41% of the population studied presented >= 3 bCTC count. bCTC count >= 3 was associated with worse performance status (according Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale), stage IV at diagnosis, at least 3 metastatic sites, and elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels; but not with RAS or BRAF mutations or high MSI. BRAFmut (BRAF mutated) tumors were associated with right-sided primary tumors, peritoneum, distant lymph node metastasis, and less frequent liver involvement. RASmut (RAS mutated) was associated with worse performance status; stage IV at diagnosis; right-sided primary tumors; liver, lung, and bone metastases; at least 3 metastatic sites; and elevated CEA, whereas PIK3CAmut (PIK3CA mutated) tumors were associated with right-sided primary tumors, high CEA serum levels, and older age. High MSI was associated with right-sided primary tumors, distant lymph nodes metastasis, and lower CEA levels. Conclusions: In our study, elevated bCTCs and RASmut were associated with clinicopathologic features known to be associated with poor prognosis; whereas the poor prognosis of BRAFmut tumors in chemo-naive metastatic CRC is not explained by associations with poor clinicopathologic prognostic factors, except right-sided primary tumors.
