Prevalence of KRAS Amplification in Patients with Metastatic Cancer: Real-world Next-Generation Sequencing Analysis

The Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) is a prominent proto-oncogene. Several treatments for KRAS mutations have been developed. However, KRAS amplification, a KRAS alteration, is poorly understood, and there is currently no appropriate treatment other than conventional chemotherapy. This study aimed to elucidate the role of KRAS amplification in different types of cancers.
