• Associations between KRAS status and clinical features in non-polyp colon cancer patients

  Cuong Hoang Minh, Huong Bui Thi Thu ... Thang Vu Hong

  Background Mutations of the KRAS gene are common in cancers; they are detected at a very high rate in colon cancer (CC) and are considered a negative disease factor. CC is among the deadliest cancers in Vietnam, and KRAS status for non-polyp colon cancer (NPCC) was rarely reported from the country. In this study, we aim to determine KRAS mutations and the associations of mutation status with clini...
