Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Approximately 40% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are linked to Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations. KRAS mutations are associated with poor CRC prognosis, especially KRAS codon 12 mutation, which is associated with metastasis and poorer survival. However, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of KRAS codon 13 mutation in CRC remain unclear. AIM: To evaluate...
