TL;DR

Treatment selection in the post- BREAKWATER era should integrate molecular context, patient fitness, and remaining evidence gaps, as well as the management of frail or oxaliplatin-ineligible patients, maintenance therapy, local treatment integration, and sequencing after frontline encorafenib exposure.

Biomarker-Guided Treatment Selection in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Critical Review of Established and Emerging Therapies.

This structured narrative review separately examines mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) and microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient (MSS/pMMR) disease and distinguish established treatments from investigational strategies and identify the remaining evidence gaps.

Population-Based Multicenter Real-World Outcomes of Encorafenib Plus Panitumumab in BRAF V600E-Mutated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

BACKGROUND The BRAF V600E mutation in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with a poor prognosis when treated with conventional chemotherapy regimens. Recent advances in research have shown promise in using combined BRAF inhibitor and an EGFR inhibitor to treat BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC, with international g...

Case Report: Remarkable response to savolitinib plus chemotherapy and bevacizumab in second-line treatment of MET amplified colon cancer with liver metastasis

Background Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with poor prognosis and low survival rates, with acquired resistance limiting the durability of standard therapies. Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplification is a rare but potentially actionable molecular alteration that has been implicated...

A first case report of recurrent gastric cancer harboring a BRAFV600E mutation responding to dabrafenib plus trametinib

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has been increasingly implemented in clinical practice; however, only a limited proportion of patients ultimately receive genomically matched therapies. The BRAF V600E mutation is extremely rare in gastric cancer, and effective targeted treatment strategies remain undefined....

The past, present, and future treatment of BRAFV600‐mutant metastatic colorectal cancer: A comprehensive review

BRAFV600‐mutant metastatic colorectal cancer comprises a biologically distinct and clinically aggressive subset of metastatic colorectal cancer. Early attempts to apply single‐agent BRAFV600 inhibition failed because of rapid acquired resistance and reactivation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase signaling. Over the l...
