Popis: Several studies show that mutational profiles could influence treatment decisions in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC). KRAS mutational status was the first step in biomarkers development in the era of molecular targeted therapies. Recently, NRAS mutational status was identified as an independent prognostic factor for the response to treatment with anti-EGFR moAbs. The aim of this observational study was to assess the feasibility of the KRAS/NRAS mutational analysis in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in Greece and to identify any correlations with known clinical characteristics and histopathologic features.
