ABSTRACT
Mutant forms of the RAS genes KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS are important and common drivers of cancer. Recently, two independent teams that integrated cancer genomics with cancer epidemiology estimated that approximately 15-20% of all human cancers harbor a mutation in one of these three RAS genes. These groups also estimate KRAS mutations occur in 11-14% of all human cancers. Although these estimates are lower than many commonly encountered values, these estimates continue to rank KRAS and the ensemble of RAS oncogenes among the most common genetic drivers of cancer across all forms of malignancy.
