Abstract excerpt
The BRAF V600E mutation has been associated with microsatellite instability and the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in colon cancer. We evaluated a large population-based sample of individuals with colon cancer to determine its relationship to survival and other clinicopathologic variables. The V600E BRAF mutation was seen in 5% (40 of 803) of microsatellite-stable tumors and 51.8% (43 of 83) of...
