## Abstract Mutational analysis of __KRAS__ codons 12 and 13 is standard for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer since mutations in these codons predict lack of response to antiβEGFR therapies. However, even among patients whose tumors are wildtype for __KRAS__ codons 12 and 13, only a subse
## Abstract Confounding effects of specific __KRAS__ gene alterations on colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis stratified by microsatellite instability (MSI) and __BRAF__^__V600E__^ have not yet been investigated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the combined effects of MSI, __BRAF__^__V600E__^ and
