NRASQ61R Mutation-specific Immunohistochemistry is Highly Specific for Either NRAS Q61R or KRAS Q61R Mutation in Colorectal Carcinoma
11 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapy is only indicated in RAS wild-type colorectal carcinomas (CRCs). It is recommended that both NRAS and KRAS mutation testing to be performed before a CRC is considered RAS wild-type. Given that mutation-specific immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been shown to be sensitive and specific for the detection of NRAS mutations in melanoma, we assessed the specificity of...
