WHAT’S NEW IN METASTATIC COLON CANCER TREATMENT?

Abstract

In this review, we present the current innovations in the field of metastatic colon cancer (mCRC). Tumor placement is important in the mCRC treatment decision, and KRAS, NRAS, BRAF mutation analysis is performed in terms of prognosis/predictivity. Immunotherapy is the treatment option in patients with 5-6% and dMMR/MSI. The concept of NeoRAS will become more on the agenda in the near future as high-level evidence becomes available. Molecular evaluations have become extremely important in terms of prognosis and predictions in the treatment of mCRC, as in many tumors today.

METASTATİK KOLON KANSERİ TEDAVİSİNDEKİ YENİLİKLER

Abstract

Bu derlemede metastatik kolon kanseri (mKRK)’ndeki medikal alandaki güncel yenilikler değerlendirildi. mKRK tedavi kararında tümör yerleşimi önemlidir ve KRAS, NRAS, BRAF mutasyon analizi prognoz/prediktivite açısından yapılmaktadır. İmmünoterapi %5-6 ve dMMR/MSI olan hasta grubunda tedavi seçeneğidir. NeoRAS kavramı, kanıt düzeyi yüksek bilgiler artıkça yakın gelecekte daha fazla gündemde olacaktır. Günümüzdeki birçok tümör tedavisinde olduğu gibi mKRK tedavisinde de moleküler değerlendirmeler prognoz ve prediktif açıdan son derece önemli hale gelmiştir.
