BACKGROUND: Several lines of evidence indicate that mutational activation of KRAS is an early event in the carcinogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nonetheless, previous studies report high frequencies of divergent KRAS mutational status between primary NSCLC and corresponding metastases. This suggests heterogeneity of the primary tumor in respect to its KRAS status. We therefore aimed to examine the...
