## 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 anti‐EGFR therapies. However, even among patients whose tumors are wildtype for __KRAS__ codons 12 and 13, only a subse
The prognostic values of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at loci frequently involved in non-small cell lung cancer and of KRAS2 gene mutations were studied in lung adenocarcinoma patients. LOHs were relatively common, ranging from 24% at chromosome 10p to 55% at chromosome 17p13. KRAS2 mutations at cod
## Dear Sir, The RAS proteins participate in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAPKinase pathway, which mediates cellular responses to growth signals. 1 There are 3 RAF genes, each encoding cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by binding to RAS. 1,2 We have recently reported that BRAF is soma
## Abstract TRAIL raises hopes as a promising anti‐tumor agent due to its selectivity toward cancer cells. Higher expression of its pro‐death receptors TRAIL‐R1 (DR4) and TRAIL‐R2 (DR5) attenuates higher sensitivity to TRAIL‐induced apoptosis, and represents a marker for better cancer prognosis and
