The impact of Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) status on local tumor progression after surgical ablation of colorectal liver metastases

Kirsten rat sarcoma mutation was reported to adversely affect local tumor control after percutaneous ablation of colorectal liver metastasis. Nevertheless, the effect of Kirsten rat sarcoma mutation on surgical ablation has not been investigated in the literature. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of Kirsten rat sarcoma mutation on local recurrence after surgical ablation of colorectal liver metastasis.
