*Data are based on extrapolation of incidences from a real-world study (Fakih et al) that were applied to the SEER 2023 and Thompson et al 2011 data for newly diagnosed and recurrent mCRC, respectively.

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommendations for testing for metastatic CRC4,5

  • All patients should be tested for KRAS, including G12C, as part of an NGS panel
  • The testing can be performed on the primary tumor and/or the metastasis
Identify KRAS G12C in 2L+ advanced CRC

Identify patients with KRAS G12C–mutated CRC with an FDA-approved test

2L=second-line; CRC=colorectal cancer; KRAS=Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue; mCRC=metastatic colorectal cancer; NCCN=National Comprehensive Cancer Network; NGS=next-generation sequencing; SEER=Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.
