Molecular Pathology and Biomarkers Recommendation 3: RAS testing RAS mutational status is a negative predictive biomarker for therapeutic choices involving EGFR antibody therapies in the metastatic disease setting [I, A] RAS testing should be carried out on all patients at the time of diagnosis of mcrc [I, A] RAS analysis should include at least KRAS exons 2, 3 and 4 (codons 12, 13, 59, 61, 117 and 146) and NRAS exons 2, 3 and 4 (codons 12, 13, 59, 61 and 117) Van Cutsem E, Cervantes A, Arnold D et al, ESMO Consensus 2016 Online Ann Oncol, July 2016
Molecular Pathology and Biomarkers Recommendation 5: BRAF testing Tumour BRAF mutation status should be assessed alongside the assessment of tumour RAS mutational status for prognostic assessment (and/or potential selection for clinical trials) [I, B] Recommendation 6: MSI testing MSI testing in the metastatic disease setting can assist clinicians in genetic counselling [II, B] MSI testing has strong predictive value for the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of patients with mcrc [II, B] Van Cutsem E, Cervantes A, Arnold D et al, ESMO Consensus 2016 Online Ann Oncol, July 2016
Molecular Pathology and Biomarkers Recommendation 9: emerging technologies Although CTC number correlates with prognosis in patients with mcrc, the clinical utility of CTC assessments is not yet clear and therefore cannot be recommended [IV, D]. The utility of liquid ctdna biopsies to guide treatment decisions is currently under investigation in clinical trials, but cannot yet be recommended in routine practice [V, D]. Whole genome, whole exome and whole transcriptome analysis should be carried out only in a research setting [V, D].

Local and ablative treatment (including surgery) Recommendation 13: conversion therapy. In potentially resectable patients (if conversion is the goal), a regimen leading to high RRs and/or a large tumour size reduction (shrinkage) is recommended [II, A]. There is uncertainty surrounding the best combination to use as only few trials have addressed this specifically: In patients with RAS wild-type disease, a cytotoxic doublet plus an anti- EGFR antibody seems to have the best benefit risk/ratio, although the combination of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab may also be considered and, to a lesser extent, a cytotoxic doublet plus bevacizumab [II, A]. In patients with RAS-mutant disease: a cytotoxic doublet plus bevacizumab or FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab [II, A]. Patients must be re-evaluated regularly in order to prevent the overtreatment of resectable patients as the maximal response is expected to be achieved after 12 16 weeks of therapy in most patients.

Treatment of metastatic disease Recommendation 21: Third-line therapy In RAS wild-type and BRAF wild-type patients not previously treated with EGFR antibodies cetuximab or panitumumab therapy should be considered Cetuximab and panitumumab are equally active as single agents [I, A] The combination of cetuximab with irinotecan is more active than cetuximab alone, in irinotecan refractory patients [II, B] There is no unequivocal evidence to administer the alternative EGFR antibody, if a patient is refractory to one of the EGFR antibodies [I, C]. Regorafenib is recommended in patients pre-treated with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab and in RAS wild-type patients with EGFR antibodies [I, B] Regorafenib is superior to placebo in terms of OS although there are toxicity concerns in frail patients. Trifluridine/tipiracil is recommended for patients pre-treated with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab and in RAS wild-type patients with EGFR antibodies [I, B].
