Immunohistochemistry-Based Consensus Molecular Subtypes as a Prognostic and Predictive Biomarker for Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Stage II Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For stage II colorectal cancer (CRC), the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial. Consensus molecular subtype (CMS) has been validated to be a prognostic tool for CRCs. In this study, CMS status was investigated as a prognostic biomarker for the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage II colorectal cancer.

Materials and methods

The tissue microarray was retrospectively constructed of 165 nonconsecutive, primary, and sporadic stage II CRCs. CMS status was determined by immunohistochemistry staining of CDX2, HTR2B, FRMD6, and ZEB1, combining with microsatellite instability testing. The prognostic for adjuvant chemotherapy efficacy of CMS status was calculated by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis. Subgroup analyses were conducted ac
