Abstract excerpt
Recently, a grading system based on the counting of poorly differentiated clusters (PDCs) of neoplastic cells was shown to be a strong predictor of nodal metastases and negative prognosis in colon cancer (CC). In this study, we assessed and compared the mutational status of KRAS, NRAS, and PIK3CA in PDCs and corresponding main tumor tissue of 25 CCs with KRAS mutations. For each tumor, PDC and main tumor tissue...
