Abstract

Abstract only e15090 Background: The prognostic value and prognostic value of the KRAS proto-oncogene mutation in colorectal cancer has been debated. Herein, we analyzed the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to assess the role of KRAS mutation as a prognostic marker in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Methods: We identified LARC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation from 2004-2015 excluding those with stage I/IV disease and unknown KRAS status.Multivariable logistic regression identified variables associated with KRAS positivity. Propensity adjusted univariable and multivariable analyses identified predictors of survival. Results: Of the 784 eligible patients, 506 and 278 were KRAS negative (KRAS-) and KRAS positive (KRAS+). Median survival was 63.6 months and 76.3 months for KRAS+ and KRAS-patients, with propensity adjusted 3 and 5-year survival of (79.9% vs. 83.6%) and (56.7% vs 61.9%) respectively (HR 1.56, p 1.074-2.272). Male sex, no insurance, and KRAS+ disease was associated with poorer survival on unadjusted and propensity adjusted multivariable analyses (Table). Conclusions: Our analysis of KRAS+ LARC suggest that KRAS+ disease is associated with poorer overall survival. Given the inherent limitations of retrospective data, prospective validation is warranted. [Table: see text]
