Description
In this study, KRAS gain (KRAS/CEP12q ratio >1 and <2) or amplification (ratio >2) was detected in 3% (13 of 414) of the primary endometrial carcinomas investigated. Presence of KRAS gain or amplification were highly significantly associated with poor prognosis with a 46% 5-year survival compared with 87% for patients with unamplified status (P<0.001). Amplification of KRAS maintains its independent prognostic impact in Cox multivariate analysis when adjusted for age, histological subtype, grade and FIGO stage (HR=2.6, 95% CI: 1.2–5.8, P=0.02). In contrast, presence of KRAS mutation did not influence prognosis (P=0.67)
