Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to establish a correlation between MSI, KRAS mutations, and BRAF(V600E) in colon cancer and to investigate the prognostic effect. METHODS: Colon cancer patients who underwent surgical intervention were enrolled. MSI status was identified by genotyping, and the mutational statuses of KRAS and BRAF were determined by MassARRAY, targeting 22 mutations. The clinicopathological differences...
