Mismatch Repair Status in Patient-Derived Colorectal Cancer Organoids Does Not Affect Intrinsic Tumor Cell Sensitivity to Systemic Therapy

DNA mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with poor survival and a poor response to systemic treatment. However, it is unclear whether dMMR results in a tumor cell-intrinsic state of treatment resistance, or whether alternative mechanisms play a role....

Mismatch Repair Status in Patient-Derived Colorectal Cancer Organoids Does Not Affect Intrinsic Tumor Cell Sensitivity to Systemic Therapy
description DNA mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with poor survival and a poor response to systemic treatment.

MMR status did not correlate with the response of PDOs to any of the drugs tested. In contrast, the presence of activating mutations in the <i>KRAS</i> and <i>BRAF</i> oncogenes was significantly associated with resistance to chemotherapy and sensitivity to drugs targeting oncogene-activated pathways. We conclude that mutant KRAS and BRAF impact the intrinsic sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
