National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 20161 Proposed ESMO

consensus 2015/162

“The panel strongly recommends genotyping of tumor tissue (either primary tumor or metastasis) in all patients with metastatic colorectal cancer for RAS

(KRAS exon 2 and non-exon 2; NRAS) and BRAF at diagnosis of stage IV disease”

“The appropriate molecular analyses are to be carried out at the time of initial diagnosis of mCRC and should

comprise a full analysis of tumour RAS mutational status (KRAS: exon 2, 3 and 4 and NRAS: exon 2, 3 and

4) with a simultaneous analysis of tumour BRAF mutational status, conducted in a validated laboratory/testing centre,

to facilitate the best diagnostic and prognostic decision making possible.”

“Turnaround time for RAS testing (expanded RAS analysis) should be ≤7 working days from the time of receipt of the specimen by the testing laboratory to the

time of issuing of the final report, for >90% of specimens”

Take-home message - ctDNA in mCRC

- RAS and BRAF testing are mandatory for first line treatment decision in mCR.

- RAS and BRAF ctDNA testing is a less invasive, faster alternative to tissue-based RAS testing at diagnosis

- CRC is an heterogeneous and evolutionary disease. Biomarkers change along the course of the disease, specifically under anti-EGFR treatment pressure

- A comprehensive and dynamic monitoring of biomarkers is mandatory for a real-time precision medicine. ctDNA represents tumor heterogeneity and is useful to longitudinally monitor biomarkers in a non-invasivemanner

- Liquid biopsy-driven clinical trials to guide therapeutic strategies beyond first line are crucial to improve patient’s outcome
