摘要: Aim: Clinical management of colorectal cancer is challenging. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and DNA (ctDNA) are investigated to detect key KRAS mutation for prognosis risk stratifications. Materials & methods: 200 advance-stage patients with metastatic disease were selected followed-up. Serial blood draws used quantify CTCs ctDNA. Results: Both ctDNA strongly associated patients. The positive predictive values 96.5 96.3% among ctDNA, respectively, all using mutation. Specificity healthy controls was 100%. As a indicator, results demonstrated that who had plasma worse outcomes. Conclusion: Blood-based assessment shows promising in early-risk
