Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) by liquid biopsy may have prognostic information. In this perioperative study, we evaluate if there is a relationship between mutant allele frequency (MAF) of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and tumor recurrence and how that could be useful in the early detection of recurrence. METHODS: Among 304 cases of...
