Abstract excerpt
AIMS: In metastatic colorectal carcinomas (mCRC), RAS/RAF genes mutations are first tested to determine the eligibility for anti-EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) therapy in combination with conventional cytotoxic agents. Recent advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have highlighted the potential of multi-gene panels. This multi-gene analysis may provide useful information for the molecular...
