Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Despite advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, racial disparities persist. The primary aims of the study were to: evaluate differences in molecular testing rates over time by race; and measure the incidence of tumor mutations by race in patients with metastatic CRC. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed of all adult patients with stage IV CRC (2008-2018) identified within the...
