stilll looking for specifics so this is best i can do at this time on this

While probably all are familiar with KRAS,less are aware of BRAF andPI3K on CRC..I'm curious as to the specifics of these "subtypes" referred to

Like with every other variety of cancer, researchers investigate this gene or that one, this pathway or that protein yet not much from a practical perspective seems to emerge. So much sounds so promising yet in reality,hardly any people get any relief.....
