It is hypothesized that BRAF mutant cancers represent a discrete subset of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) defined by poorer survival. This study investigates whether BRAF mutant CRC is further defined by a distinct pattern of metastatic spread and explores the impact of BRAF mutation and microsatellite instability (MSI) on prognosis in metastatic CRC. Using prospective clinical data and molecular analyses from two major centers (Royal Melbourne Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Centre) patients with known BRAF mutation status were analyzed for clinical characteristics, survival and metastatic sites. We identified 524 metastatic CRC patients where BRAF mutation status was known, 57 (11%) were BRAF mutant tumors. BRAF mutant tumors were significantly associated with right-sided primary tumor, MSI and poorer survival (median 10.4mo v 34.7mo, p<0.001). A distinct pattern of metastatic spread was observed in BRAF mutant tumors, namely higher rates of peritoneal metastases (46% v 24%, p=0.001), distant lymph node metastases (53% v 38%, p=0.008) and lower rates of lung metastases (35% v 49%, p=0.049). In additional survival analyses, MSI tumors had significantly poorer survival compared to micro-satellite stable tumors (22.1mo v 11.1 mo, p=0.017), but this difference was not evident in the BRAF mutant population. The pattern of metastatic spread observed in this study further defines BRAF mutant CRC as a discrete disease subset. We demonstrate that, unlikely early stage disease, MSI is associated with poorer survival in metastatic CRC, although this is driven by its association with BRAF mutation.
