Background: Approximately 25% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) debut with metastatic disease. In addition, 25-35% of patients with localized disease at diagnosis develop metastatic lesions during the evolution of their disease. Consequently, approximately 50-60% of patients with CRC will present metastatic lesions at some point in their lives. Metastasis resection has improved the prognosis of these patients, achieving overall survival (OS) that exceed 40 months. However, there are doubts about the benefit of this approach in patients with mutations in oncogene BRAF or tumors located on the right-side, due their poor prognosis. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of metastases resection on OS of these populations. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with mCRC attended in the Medical Oncology Department of the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (Spain) between January 2010 and 2018. Results: 487 patients were identified and included in the analysis. Median age was 71 years (62-81). Most patients were males (62.4%). 55.2% had metastatic lesions at diagnosis. Most patients had ECOG 0-1 at diagnosis of metastatic disease (91.0%). 8.9% of patients had BRAF mutations (n = 21) and 31.8% of patients had primary tumors located on the right-side (n = 152). 474 patients received first-line chemotherapy (97.3%). OS of the entire cohort was 29.67 months; 30.69 months in BRAF mutated patients vs 35.89 in wild-type patients (p = 0.161); 25.29 months in right-side tumors vs 31.02 in left-side tumors (p = 0.044). 306 patients (62.8%) underwent metastases resection. Most common location was liver (51.4%). 147 patients (30.2%) underwent a second metastases resection. Mean number of metastases surgeries was 1.35 (+/-1.40). OS since metastases resection was 24.83 months in BRAF mutated patients vs 41.55 months in wild-type patients (p = 0.020). According to location, it was 35.49 months in right-side tumors vs 43.78 months in left-side tumors (p = 0.106). In BRAF mutated patients, OS was 38.19 months in patients underwent metastases resection vs 18.52 months in non-surgical patients (p = 0.043); 41.51 months vs 16.18 months respectively in patients with tumors located on the right-side (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Metastases resection has a positive impact on overall survival of patients with mutations in oncogene BRAF or right-side tumors, even though their prognosis is still poor compared to patients without these alterations.
