Description
The presence of BRAF V600E or D594K was associated with reduced progression-free survival in 5 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with irinotecan-based first line therapy (3.5mo vs. 12.8mo, HR:4.1, 95%CI:1.5-11.3, P=0.006) when compared to 39 patients with wildtype BRAF.
