title: [Prognostic value of K-ras gene mutation in colorectal cancer].
abstract: Numerous acquired genetical mutations are now well described by molecular biology and seem to be related to tumour progression. K-RAS mutation is of interest in colorectal cancer where it could be correlated to an aggressive tumoral behaviour leading to a high risk of recurrence or metastasis.
