Survival comparison of first-line treatment regimens in patients with braf-mutated advanced colorectal cancer: a multicenter retrospective study

| description | Abstract Background Patients with V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) V600E-mutated advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) have a poor prognosis, and treatment options that can improve outcome are still under investigation. The purpose of this study was to discuss the differences of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between patients with BRAF V600E-mutated advanced CRC who were treated with chemotherapy alone and chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy in advanced first-line therapy. Methods Grouping of 61 patients according to first-line treatment regimen (chemotherapy alone/chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab). Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare OS and PFS. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to measure the risk of first-line medication therapies while correcting for confounding factors that may affect PFS and OS. Results There was no significant difference in OS between patients treated with chemotherapy alone and those treated with chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab (P = 0.93; HR, 1.027; 95% CI, 0.555–1.901). Likewise, there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups (P = 0.29; HR, 0.734; 95% CI, 0.413–1.304). Subgroup analysis showed that OS and PFS of different treatment regimens were not significantly different among subgroups. Multivariate analysis suggested that surgical treatment of primary tumor (P = 0.001; HR, 0.326; 95% CI, 0.169–0.631) and presence of liver metastasis (P = 0.009; HR, 2.399; 95% CI, 1.242–4.635) may serve as independent prognostic indicators in patients with BRAF-mutated advanced CRC. Surgical treatment of the primary tumor (P = 0.041; HR, 0.523; 95% CI, 0.280–0.974) was significantly associated with PFS too. Conclusion For patients with BRAF V600E-mutated advanced CRC, chemotherapy alone did not differ significantly in OS and PFS compared with chemotherapy + bevacizumab for advanced first-line therapy. Chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy did not render a survival benefit to these patients, demonstrating that the importance of developing new treatment options for this population. |
