MAPK signaling activation is an important driver event in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis that informs therapy selection, but detection by liquid biopsy can be challenging. We analyze real-world comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) data to explore the landscape of alterations in BRAF or RAS in CRC patients (N = 51 982) and co-occurrence with other biomarkers. A pathogenic RAS or BRAF alteration was found in 63.
