Background

Therapeutic strategies for colo-rectal relies on several parameters among which microsatellite (MS) and RAS/RAF status have important value. The aim of our study was to analyze combined MS and RAS/RAF status in colorectal carcinoma (CCR).

Methods

We study a series of 73 cases of CCR with nodal/visceral metastasis. MS status was determined by immunohistochemistry. Molecular RAS/RAF testing was performed by the RT-PCR automatized Idylla system.

Results

67 cases were MS-proficient; among which 38 cases were RAS/RAF mutated : 30 cases were KRAS mutated, 4 were NRAS mutated and 4 BRAF mutated. Six patients were MS-deficient among which 4 cases were rectal KRAS mutated carcinoma, the 2 remaining cases were colic RAS/RAF wild type cases.

Conclusions

Our study found that MSI/RAS/RAF mutated status is rare (9.5%) meanwhile both MSS and RAS/RAF wild cases, representing the worst prognostic group, represent 40% of the cases.
