Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRAF mutation is a clinically important molecular alteration in colon cancer, but its prognostic significance varies and remains incompletely defined across disease stage and microsatellite instability (MSI) status. This study evaluates the prognostic impact of BRAF mutation and its association with tumor characteristics that may explain its context-dependent behavior. METHODS: Adults with stage I-IV...
