The survival outcome of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer based on the site of metastases and the impact of molecular markers and site of primary cancer on metastatic pattern.

CONCLUSION: Survival duration with mCRC is related to the site of metastases with lung limited disease showing a more favorable survival outcome compared to other single metastatic site disease. The BRAF mutation and primary rectal cancer were associated with poor prognostic metastatic sites.
