In this pooled analysis of metastatic colorectal cancer patients, mutations in KRAS, and BRAF were associated with inferior progression-free and overall survival compared with patients with non-mutated tumors. KRAS exon
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4999563 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 1
Evidence Type(s): Prognostic, Diagnostic
Justification: Prognostic: The passage discusses how KRAS G12C and G13D mutations correlate with inferior progression-free and overall survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients, indicating their prognostic significance. Diagnostic: The mention of KRAS mutations being associated with tumor characteristics suggests their role in classifying or defining the disease subtype in colorectal cancer.
