RAS mutation status predicts survival and patterns of recurrence in patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases.

TLDR
RAS mutation predicts early lung recurrence and worse survival after curative resection of CLM and this information may be used to individualize systemic and local tumor-directed therapies and follow-up strategies.
Abstract
Objective:To determine the impact of RAS mutation status on survival and patterns of recurrence in patients undergoing curative resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) after preoperative modern chemotherapy.Background:RAS mutation has been reported to be associated with aggressive tumor biolo

Colorectal cancer liver metastases – a population-based study on incidence, management and survival

TL;DR: The worse survival in liver metastatic right-sided Colon cancer could possibly be explained by the higher number of metastases, as well as more extensive segmental involvement compared with left-sided colon and rectal cancer, even though the latter had a higher incidence of liver metastases.

Meta-analysis of KRAS mutations and survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis was undertaken to clarify the impact of KRAS mutation on outcomes in patients with resectable CLM, irrespective of treatment with chemotherapy or anti‐EGFR therapy.

Classification of surgical complications: a new proposal with evaluation in a cohort of 6336 patients and results of a survey.

TL;DR: The new complication classification appears reliable and may represent a compelling tool for quality assessment in surgery in all parts of the world.

Clinical Score for Predicting Recurrence After Hepatic Resection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Analysis of 1001 Consecutive Cases

TL;DR: There is a need for clearly defined and widely applicable clinical criteria for the selection of patients who may benefit from hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal cancer and studies of preoperative staging techniques or of adjuvant therapies should consider using such a score for stratification of patients.

Effects of KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, and PIK3CA mutations on the efficacy of cetuximab plus chemotherapy in chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer: a retrospective consortium analysis

TL;DR: This is the largest cohort to date of patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab plus chemotherapy in the pre-KRAS selection era and confirmed that, if KRAS is not mutated, assessing BRAF, NRAS, and PIK3CA population response rates confirmed that.

Surgical resection of colorectal carcinoma metastases to the liver : A prognostic scoring system to improve case selection, based on 1568 patients

TL;DR: Five‐year survival rates after resection of liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma are close to 25%, and selection of patients likely to benefit from surgery remains controversial and subjective.
