Understanding Their Role in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

KRAS<\/strong> and NRAS<\/strong> are genes that encode GTPase proteins involved in cellular signal transduction, playing a key role in regulating processes such as cell proliferation, survival and differentiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activating mutations in these genes act as true tumour drivers and currently play a decisive role in clinical practice. Their presence is associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapies<\/strong>, influences patient prognostic<\/strong> and is essential to therapeutic stratification<\/strong>. For this reason, their assessment is now considered a standard of care in multiple oncological settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detection of KRAS and NRAS mutations is particularly relevant in colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, and pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a context where available samples are often limited and the need for rapid results continues to increase, molecular diagnostics requires high analytical sensitivity, optimal sample utilisation and reliable, reproducible results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At IMP Diagnostics<\/strong><\/a> we now offer a new technology that enables the detection of KRAS and NRAS mutations with high accuracy and a turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
