Abstract excerpt
The mutation status of KRAS is important for anti-EGFR therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients; however, detection of KRAS mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is problematic. We investigated tissue and plasma assays for KRAS mutations in CRC patients. The KRAS status of 407 CRC patients was evaluated using integration of amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (PCR), melting...
