Characterization of Genomic Alterations in Colorectal Liver Metastasis and Their Prognostic Value.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) are clinically heterogeneous lesions with poor prognosis. Genetic alterations play a crucial role in their progression. The traditional Fong clinical risk score (Fong-CRS) is commonly used for risk stratification and prognosis prediction. By identifying the genomic alterations of CRLMs, we aimed to develop a mutation-based gene-signature-based clinical score (mut-CS) system to improve clinical prognostication. Tumour tissues from 144 patients with CRLMs were analysed with next-generation sequencing (NGS). A mut-CS scoring system considering the unique mutation-based gene signature, primary site, and Fong-CRS was developed and could identify CRLM patients with poor prognosis. The mean time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve AUC value of the
