Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a poorer prognosis as well as resistance to anti-EGFR antibodies. However, it is unclear whether BRAF mutations other than BRAFV600E (BRAFnon-V600E mutations) contribute to anti-EGFR antibody resistance. METHODS: This study was composed of exploratory and inference cohorts. Candidate biomarkers identified by whole exome...
