Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease caused by genetic and epigenetic alterations. This study aimed to describe the mutation frequency of 12 genes in different CRC phenotypes. METHODS: Patients who underwent surgery at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital during 2000-2010 for CRC (n = 1249) were enrolled. The endpoint was overall survival. The prognostic value was determined with the...
