In 2008, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggested conducting a KRAS mutations test in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients prior to administering therapy that uses anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody. However, tests of KRAS mutations have been limited when traditional molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined direct sequencing, are used to obtain and analyze patients' cancer tissues. If the primary tumor or metastatic tissues of patients with mCRC is unavailable, then such analysis will not be feasible. Our laboratory has successfully established a colorimetric membrane array analysis platform that could detect activating KRAS mutations from the peripheral blood of patients with various malignancies.
