Concordance assessment of KRASG12/G13 mutations in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue and plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from 121 patients with advanced cancers

KRASG12/G13 mutation in tumor KRASG12/G13 wild-type in tumor
Concordance for plasma samples (16 ng of cfDNA) collected before systemic experimental therapy tested with KRASG12/G13 multiplex probe versus FFPE tumor samples tested in the CLIA-certified laboratory
KRASG12/G13 mutation in cfDNA, no. of patients 74 4
