KRAS Mutation is Associated with Worse Prognosis in Stage III or High-risk Stage II Colon Cancer Patients Treated with Adjuvant FOLFOX

Background Although KRAS mutation has a predictive role in stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients treated with anti-EGFR therapy, there have been controversies in the prognostic impact of KRAS mutation in stage II or III disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of KRAS and BRAF mutation in patients treated with adjuvant 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX).
