P53 mutations in primary tumors and subsequent liver metastases are related to survival in patients with colorectal carcinoma who undergo liver resection.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The appearance of p53 mutations in colorectal carcinoma was determined, independent of differentiation and tumor stage of the primary tumors, in relation to the survival of patients who were scheduled to undergo liver resection. METHODS:Tumor material was analyzed for p53 mutations in primary colorectal tumors and subsequent liver metastases from 41 consecutive patients who were scheduled to undergo surgical liver resection. DNA sequencing and immunohistochemical staining of p53 protein within tumor nuclei were performed. RESULTS:Primary tumors displayed p53 mutations within exons 5-9 in 41% of patients. No mutations were found in exons 4, 10, or 11. Forty-one percent of metastatic lesions had the same single mutation that was found in the primary tumor, whereas 11% of metastatic lesions had one additional mutation within exons 5-9; 22% had mutations only in their liver metastases, whereas corresponding primary tumors displayed wild-type p53. None of the patients had mutated p53 in their primary tumor and wild type in their metastases. Survival after undergoing liver resection was correlated negatively (P < 0.05-0.01) with Duke Stages A-D classification of the primary tumors, tumor differentiation, and radicality (> 0.7-0.8 mm) of resected liver metastases. CONCLUSIONS:The presence of p53 mutations in patients with metastatic lesions was related significantly (P < 0.003) to better survival after the patients underwent liver resection compared with patients with wild type p53 in their metastatic lesions. This finding was not related to covariates, such as Duke classification, tumor differentiation, type of liver metastasis, or metastatic radicality during resections. Explanations for this unexpected finding remain unclear, although the authors speculate that occult tumor cells with p53 mutations may be less responsive to growth factor(s) exposure during hepatic regeneration after resection.
