Abstract excerpt
KRAS mutation detection represents a crucial issue in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The optimization of KRAS mutation detection delay enabling rational prescription of first-line treatment in mCRC including anti-EGFR-targeted therapy requires robust and rapid molecular biology techniques. Routine analysis of mutations in codons 12 and 13 on 674 paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of mCRC has been performed...
