The genetic mutation variant has been linked to a 62 times higher risk of developing lung cancer.

Gandara, MD, explains why KRAS G12C predicts immunotherapy benefit in non–small cell lung cancer and what EMPOWER-Lung 1 means for trial design. He noted that most earlier analyses lumped KRAS ...

In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...
