Colorectal Cancer Prognosis is Not Associated with BRAF and KRAS Mutations-A STROBE Compliant Study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:We investigated the associations between v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAFV600E, henceforth BRAF) and v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations and colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE39582) datasets. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The effects of BRAF and KRAS mutations on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of CRC were evaluated. RESULTS:The mutational status of BRAF and KRAS genes was not associated with overall survival (OS) or DFS of the CRC patients drawn from the TCGA database. The 3-year OS and DFS rates of the BRAF mutation (+) vs. mutation (-) groups were 92.6% vs. 90.4% and 79.7% vs. 68.4%, respectively. The 3-year OS and DFS rates of the KRAS mutation (+) vs. mutation (-) groups were 90.4% vs. 90.5% and 65.3% vs. 73.5%, respectively. In stage II patients, however, the 3-year OS rate was lower in the BRAF mutation (+) group than in the mutation (-) group (85.5% vs. 97.7%, p <0.001). The mutational status of BRAF genes of 497 CRC patients drawn from the GSE39582 database was not associated with OS or DFS. The 3-year OS and DFS rates of BRAF mutation (+) vs. mutation (-) groups were 75.7% vs. 78.9% and 73.6% vs. 71.1%, respectively. However, KRAS mutational status had an effect on 3-year OS rate (71.9% mutation (+) vs. 83% mutation (-), p = 0.05) and DFS rate (66.3% mutation (+) vs. 74.6% mutation (-), p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS:We found no consistent association between the mutational status of BRAF nor KRAS and the OS and DFS of CRC patients from the TCGA and GSE39582 databases. Studies with longer-term records and larger patient numbers may be necessary to expound the influence of BRAF and KRAS mutations on the outcomes of CRC.
