Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E mutation: A multicenter real-world study in China

BRAF V600E mutant-metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is characterized by its short survival time. Treatment approaches vary depending on whether or not the metastases are initially resectable. The benefit of metastasectomy remains unclear, and the optimal first-line treatment is controversial. This study aimed to describe the prognosis of BRAF V600E mutant-mCRC, analyze the recurrence pattern in resectable patients, and explore the optimal first-line treatment for unresectable patients.
