Abstract

Background The relationship between KRAS mutations and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with established cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) remains uncertain. This study aims to (1) evaluate the predictive value of seven KRAS mutation subtypes for VTE recurrence and (2) assess the impact of incorporating these mutations into two existing VTE risk scores: the Khorana score and the...
