4 CRC: Pathological Markers

5 CRC: Histology Report 1994 ANATOMIA PATOLOGICA ROSSI MARIO HISTOLOGY Histotype grading metastases Surgical margins 2016 REGIONE VENETO UNITÀ OPERATIVA DI ANATOMIA PATOLOGICA ROSSI MARIO HISTOLOGY Histotype Grading Metastases Surgical margins/mesorectum Budding Vascular/perineural invasion Tumor Regression Grade ptnm IHC/ISH MMR genes/cdx2/her2 Isolated tumor cells (ITC) MOLECULAR TESTS KRAS, BRAF, NRAS Microsatellite instability

6 CRC: Molecular Markers microsatellite instability (MSI) CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) somatic mutations in KRAS somatic mutations in BRAF

7 CRC: Molecular Markers Integrated histological and molecular classification microsatellite instability (MSI) somatic mutations in KRAS CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) somatic mutations in BRAF Adenoma-carcinoma pathway (conventional) MSS BRAF & KRAS wt Serrated pathway CIMP-L/CIMP-H BRAF mut Alternative pathway MSS CIMP-L & KRAS mut

8 Conventional pathways APC Normal mucosa APC Hypometilation, SMAD4, TP53 Tubular adenoma Tubulovillous adenoma KRAS TP53 CIMP- MSS Sensitive 5FU Sensitive aegfr KRAS, CIMP-L MSS Sensitive 5FU Resistant aegfr Bettington M, et al. Histopathology 2013

9 Serrated pathways BRAF, CIMP-H Normal mucosa KRAS MLH1, MSI, IGFR2, TGFRβ Sessile serrated adenoma CDKN2A, MGMT Traditional serrated adenoma Tubulovillous adenoma with serrated features Wnt pathway BRAF, CIMP-H MSI Resistant 5FU Resistant aegfr BRAF, CIMP-H MSS Sensitive 5FU Resistant aegfr KRAS, CIMP-L MSS Sensitive 5FU Resistant aegfr Bettington M, et al. Histopathology 2013

10 MSI related CRCs 15% CRC have defective DNA mismatch repair (dmmr) 70% sporadic MLH1 methylation 30% hereditary Mutations in MMR genes Diagnosis testing for loss of the protein products for genes involved in DNA mismatch repair, most commonly MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 presence of microsatellite instability (MSI) proximal mucinous diploid

11 Defective Mismatch Repair: a predictive marker for lack of efficacy of Fluorouracil-based adjuvant therapy untreated Stage III dmmr Stage III pmmr High-level microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or defective DNA mismatch repair (dmmr) have improved survival and receive no benefit from fluorouracil (FU)-based adjuvant therapy compared with patients who have microsatellite-stable or proficient mismatch repair (pmmr) tumors. Sargent DJ, et al. JCO 2010

12 CIMP is associated with response to adjuvant Irinotecan-based therapy for stage III CRC - CIMP (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3, and SOCS1) is frequently associated to dmmr due to inactivation of MLH1. - CIMP is observed in 15-20% CRC. proximal women BRAF G3 Shiovitz S, et al. Gastroenterology 2014

13 CIMP is associated with response to adjuvant Irinotecan-based therapy for stage III CRC - CIMP (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3, and SOCS1) is frequently associated to dmmr due to inactivation of MLH1. - CIMP is observed in 15-20% CRC. proximal women BRAF G3 HR=1,36 CIMP neg 615 CRCs 23% CIMP+* 77% CIMP-neg CIMP + CIMP-positive tumors had shorter overall survival (FU/LV) (hazard ratio [HR]=1.36) * 4 met in at least 3 of 5 CpG island Shiovitz S, et al. Gastroenterology 2014

14 CIMP is associated with response to adjuvant Irinotecan-based therapy for stage III CRC - CIMP (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3, and SOCS1) is frequently associated to dmmr due to inactivation of MLH1. - CIMP is observed in 15-20% CRC. proximal women BRAF G3 HR=1,36 CIMP +/IFL CIMP +/FL CIMP+ tumors benefit most from the addition of irinotecan to fluorouracil/leucovorin therapy (for the interaction, P = 0.01). IFL: Irinotecan+Fluoruracil+Leucovorin FL: Fluoruracil+Leucovorin Shiovitz S, et al. Gastroenterology 2014

15 CIMP is associated with response to adjuvant Irinotecan-based therapy for stage III CRC - CIMP (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3, and SOCS1) is frequently associated to dmmr due to inactivation of MLH1. - CIMP is observed in 15-20% CRC. proximal women BRAF G3 60% 35% CIMP+/MMR-i Irin+FU-LV CIMP+/MMR-i FU-LV Stage III, CIMP+, MMR-i colon tumors have longer overall survival when irinotecan is added to combination therapy with fluorouracil and leucovorin. Shiovitz S, et al. Gastroenterology 2014

16 Classification of CRC based on correlation of clinical, morphological and molecular features Type microsatellite H - or L - or L - or L H CIMP + + L - - KRAS BRAF Jass JR, et al. Histopathology 2007

17 Association between molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer and patient survival *Stage adjusted Disease Specific Survival* other n= 2, years type 4 is the most predominant (47%) (APC-conventional pat.) type 2 had the highest disease-specific mortality (HR=2.20, 95% CI: ) (MSS-CIMP-BRAF sessile-serrated pat.) type 1 and type 5 have the lowest disease-specific mortality (HR=0.30, 95% CI: ) (MSI-related pat.) the clinical importance of studies into the molecular heterogeneity of CRC!! Phipps AI, et al. Gastroenterology 2014

18 The CRC Subtyping Consortium Analysis of 6 independent gene-expression based classification systems Identification of 4 robust CMSs [ ] none of the subtypes is defined by an individual event, nor is any genetic aberration limited to a subtype. Guinney J,et al, Nature Medicine (12 October 2015)
