Conclusions (1) -RAS Testing is mandatory in patients with mCRC -First-line therapy is a critical determinant of overall survival -Triplet is not better than doublet in RAS mutant mCRC -NRAS mutations carry a poorer prognosis compared to KRAS mutations -Targeted therapy with Bevacizumab may be considered with doublet as 1st line therapy in RAS mutant mCRC but the evidence is still insufficient -No survival advantage when Bevacizumab is continued beyond progression in mutant mCRC
Conclusions (2) -In RAS mutant disease maintenance therapy with 5-FU plus Bevacizumab is superior to single agent -Tumor sidedness is not a prognostic feature in RAS mutant mCRC (No difference in OS) -Mutant RAS tumors are associated with an earlier and higher rate of local tumor progression in patients undergoing ablation of CLM -Regorafenib failed to demonstrate clinical activity in RAS or BRAF- mutated mCRC following first line failure with FOLFOXIRI plus Bevacizumab (Needs to be confirmed in a larger study)
