K-ras mutation in colorectal cancer, a report from southern Iran

ABSTRACT

There are very few studies about K-ras mutations in colorectal cancer [CRC] from developing countries such as Iran. It is therefore essential to conduct studies to learn about the molecular signature of such tumors, allowing the determination of an appropriate management plan. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency and types of K-ras mutations among patients with CRC in Iran. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedde
