Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer patients harbouring KRAS mutations in codon 12 or 13 do not benefit from current anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody therapies. Efficient and robust methods are therefore required for routine clinical testing of KRAS mutation status. AIMS: To evaluate a novel multiplex assay for the rapid detection of common KRAS mutations in formalin-fixed...
