Mismatch Repair Status and Surgical Outcomes in Localized Colorectal Cancer: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Objective:. This study examined the association between deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) versus proficient MMR (pMMR) status and overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with localized colorectal cancer. Background:. Several distinctions exist between patients with dMMR and pMMR colore...

description Objective:. This study examined the association between deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) versus proficient MMR (pMMR) status and overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with localized colorectal cancer. Background:. Several distinctions exist between patients with dMMR and pMMR colorectal cancer. However, the impact on prognosis is yet to be investigated in large-scale cohort studies. Methods:. In this cohort study, we included patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for localized colorectal cancer between 2009 and 2020. Patients were identified in the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group database and patient-level data were extracted from 6 registry databases. After inclusion, patients with dMMR status were matched 1:1 to patients with pMMR status using an estimated propensity score. Results:. After matching, 5994 patients were included. The patients had a median age of 74 years and a median follow-up of 4.1 years. There was no significant association between mismatch repair (MMR) status and overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81–1.03) or disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.78–1.01). However, the restricted 5-year mean disease-free survival time, calculated due to violation of the proportional hazards assumption, showed a significant absolute difference of 0.13 years (95% CI, 0.03–0.23; P = 0.01) in favor of the dMMR group. Conclusions:. No significant association with overall survival was found according to MMR status. dMMR status was, however, found to be associated with marginally improved disease-free survival compared to pMMR status in patients with localized colorectal cancer undergoing curative-intent surgery.
