Abstract

BACKGROUND: The KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF genotypes are critical for selecting targeted therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Here, we aimed to develop a deep learning model that utilizes pathologic whole-slide images (WSIs) to accurately predict the status of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF.
