Abstract excerpt
K-Ras somatic mutations in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) can predict resistance to mAbs that target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The relationships between K-ras mutations and the EGFR status have not yet been examined, especially in Korean patients. A total of 82 colorectal tumors (stage III-IV) were analyzed. K-Ras mutations at codons 12 and 13 were detected by polymerase chain reaction-single...
