摘要

Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare gastrointestinal cancer with no FDA-approved targeted therapies. Here, we retrospectively compare BRAF-mutant AA and colorectal cancer (CRC). BRAF mutation is rare in AA (3%). Unlike CRC, BRAFV600E AA is not associated with poor prognosis, female sex, microsatellite instability, mucinous histology, or poor differentiation. In both cancers, BRAFV600E but not atypical BRAF mutations are mutually exclusive with other Ras-activating mutations. BRAFV600E + EGFR inhibition shows efficacy in BRAFV600E AA (disease control rate = 80%, median progression-free survival = 7.1 months).
