Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a potential source for tumor genome analysis. We explored the concordance between the mutational status of RAS in tumor tissue and ctDNA in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients to establish eligibility for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective-retrospective cohort study was carried out. Tumor tissue from 146...
