Article Synopsis
  • KRAS mutation negatively impacts survival outcomes for patients with colorectal liver metastases, with those having mutated KRAS showing significantly shorter overall and disease-free survival compared to those with wild-type KRAS.
  • The study analyzed data from 593 patients to compare the effects of R0 (no cancer at margins) and R1 (cancer at margins) resections based on KRAS status, finding that R0 resections benefit wild-type patients but not those with KRAS mutations.
  • In KRAS wild-type tumors, R0 resections were linked to longer survival, while in KRAS-mutated tumors, the resection margin did not influence outcomes, emphasizing the aggressive nature of KRAS-mutated cancers.
