Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: K-ras gene mutations are common in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC); however, their prognostic value for PC remains inconclusive. This meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate the association between K-ras mutations and survival in patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS: We performed a comprehensive search of electronic sources including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and...
