The Prognostic Significance of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF Mutations in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis shows that KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations are important for adverse prognostic markers in colorectal cancer, linked to reduced overall survival. Routine molecular testing for these mutations is vital to enable personalized treatment, improve patient stratification, and enhance clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer management.

Abstract

This meta-analysis shows that KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations are important for adverse prognostic markers in colorectal cancer, linked to reduced overall survival. Routine molecular testing for these mutations is vital to enable personalized treatment, improve patient stratification, and enhance clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer management.
