Abstract excerpt
Recently, evidence has emerged indicating that assessment of KRAS mutations before anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy improves outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). We report here a novel reverse-hybridization (RH) assay to screen for KRAS mutations in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colorectal tissue samples. We combined mutant-enriched PCR based on peptide nucleic acid...
