Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Image-guided thermal ablation (IGTA) is a minimally invasive alternative to colorectal cancer lung metastases (CRLM) for non-surgical candidates. This study evaluated whether combined RAS/SMAD4 mutational status and microsatellite instability (MSI) predict outcomes after IGTA in CRLM, addressing the current controversy over prognostic biomarkers. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study analyzed...
