Evaluation of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF hotspot mutations detection for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer using direct DNA pipetting in a fully-automated platform and Next-Generation Sequencing for laboratory workflow optimisation.

BACKGROUND:Assessment of KRAS, NRAS (RAS) and BRAF mutations is a standard in the management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Mutations could be assessed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) or real-time PCR-based assays. Times to results are 1 to 2 weeks for NGS and 1 to 3 da...
