Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of Cetuximab in the treatment of KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological data of 83 cases of KRAS wild-type mCRC patients treated with Cetuximab in Huzhou Central Hospital from June 2013 to June 2018. The COX proportional hazard model was used to conduct the univariate and multivariate analyses of the clinicopathological factors that may influence the treatment of progression free survivals (PFS) time with cetuximab to determine the prognostic factors. Results Among patients with mCRC treated with cetuximab, the objective response rate was 63.9%, and the disease control rate was 86.7%. The median follow-up for the whole group was 15.5 months, the median PFS was 8.7 months, and the PFS rates at 6, 12, and 18 months were 71.1%, 32.5% and 13.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the primary tumor site, baseline carbohydrate antigen (CA)199 level, rash and severity and early tumor regression were independent prognostic factors(P < 0.05). Conclusion Baseline CA199 level, tumor location, skin rash, and early tumor regression may be independent risk factors for PFS in patients with KRAS wild-type mCRC treated with cetuximab, and help predict the effect and prognosis of cetuximab treatment.
