Assessing KRAS codons 61/146 and BRAF V600E mutations might help optimising the selection of the candidate patients to receive anti-EGFR moAbs.
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC2736831 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 8
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Diagnostic
Justification: Predictive: The mention of BRAF V600E mutations in the context of optimizing patient selection for anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies indicates a correlation with treatment response. Diagnostic: The assessment of BRAF V600E mutations suggests its role in defining or classifying patients for treatment, indicating its use as a biomarker in the context of disease.
