Preoperative ctDNA status in relation to recurrence in cases of CRC remains unclear. We examined preoperative ctDNA detection by targeting KRAS gene mutations as a predictive marker for recurrence after CRC surgery. We measured the preoperative KRAS mutated ctDNA status and analyzed the correlation with clinicopathologic features of 180 patients that underwent surgery for CRC. We studied the association between...
