Abstract

BACKGROUND: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with peritoneal carcinomatosis is an increasingly prevalent disease that carries significant mortality if left untreated. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) in this patient population is associated with improved outcomes but high morbidity. We sought to study the prognostic significance of the known genomic driver, RAS, in patients with mCRC undergoing CRS/HIPEC to allow for improved assessment of risk-benefit ratio in this patient population.

METHODS: Patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC for mCRC between 2010 and 2017 at our institution were identified. Patient demographics, RAS mutation status, perioperative morbidity, overall survival (OS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) were evaluated.

RESULTS: Forty-seven patients met inclusion criteria. RAS mutant versus RAS wild-type groups were well matched with no difference in the clinicopathologic factors between groups. RAS mutation was associated with decreased RFS but no difference in OS.

CONCLUSIONS: RAS mutation is an independent marker of early recurrence in patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC for mCRC and may identify patients who do not derive benefit from this high-risk procedure.
