Description:
KRAS plays an important role in regulating cell growth and proliferation. It is commonly mutated in cancer, and recently targeted therapy is available for patients whose tumors harbors specific KRAS variants. This presentation will describe the role of KRAS in cellular signal transduction pathways, discuss different methods for testing KRAS for genetic variants, and review the clinical implications for cancers with KRAS mutation.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the KRAS signaling pathway
- Describe molecular testing methods utilized to detected variants in the KRAS gene
- Explain the clinical significance of KRAS variants
