KRAS Biomarker and Lung Cancer
According to Dr. Jacob Kaufman, of The James Cancer Center at Ohio State University, KRAS mutations are among the most commonly mutated genes in lung cancer. #KRAS mutation lung cancer is present in approximately 15-25% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Many patients with #lungcancer, including many who test positive for the KRAS #biomarker, don’t have any signs or symptoms in the early stages. This is why many lung cancer patients are not diagnosed until the lung cancer is advanced.
What is the meaning of KRAS?
Is KRAS Biomarker Good or Bad? KRAS is neither good nor bad. It is simply a gene that makes a protein that is involved in cell signaling pathways that control cell growth, cell maturation, and cell death. KRAS stands for “Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog.”
In this KRAS Hope With Answers℠ video, Terri Conneran, a KRAS-positive lung cancer patient and advocate, asks Dr. Kaufman important questions about KRAS biomarker lung cancer. Dr. Kaufman’s explanations can help every newly diagnosed KRAS lung cancer patient.
