Mutational status of plasma exosomal KRAS predicts outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract Liquid biopsy has become a useful alternative in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients when tissue biopsy of metastatic sites is not feasible. In this study we aimed to investigate the clinical utility of circulating exosomes DNA in the management of mCRC patients. Exosomes level and...
