Co-occurring mutations may limit effectiveness of KRAS G12C inhibitors in colorectal and pancreatic cancer

Colorectal cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that harbored the KRAS G12C mutation often carried other genetic alterations that can be associated with resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors, despite no prior treatment with this therapy, according to recent results from a large multidatabase analysis.
