Specific Mutations in APC, but Not Alterations in DNA Damage Response, Associate With Outcomes of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Gastroenterology. 2020 Nov;159(5):1975-1978.e4. doi: 10.1053/j.gastro.2020.07.041. Epub 2020 Jul 27.

Abstract

In an integrated genomic and clinical analysis, we evaluate the effects of Wnt and DNA damage response pathway alterations on metastatic colorectal cancer.

Keywords: APC; Colorectal Cancer; DNA Damage Response.
