Practical Implications of KRAS Mutation Status and Sidedness of Primary Tumour in Patients with Colorectal Cancer and Synchronous Liver Metastases: A Subset Analysis of the CoSMIC Study

Abstract

There is evidence of different genetic mutational signatures according to the sidedness of the primary tumour. KRAS mutations are key driver mutations in colorectal cancer progression.
