Abstract

KRAS and BRAF mutations are found in 30-50% and 10% of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
patients respectively. Here we report a unique case of mCRC with coexistent KRAS and BRAF
mutations. Patients harboring concomitant KRAS and BRAF mutations do not usually respond to
standard chemotherapeutic regimens, usually have aggressive course of illness with poor prognosis
and we are in dire need of developing new treatment strategies.
