Liquid biopsies can accurately identify molecular alterations in patients with colorectal cancer with high concordance with tissue analysis and shorter turnaround times. Circulating tumor (ct) DNA analysis can be used for diagnosing and monitoring tumor evolution in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are treated with EGFR inhibitors. In this article, we reported three clinical cases to illustrate the relevance of RAS mutations identified in ctDNA samples of patients with wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer who received an EGFR inhibitor plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment. The identification of RAS mutations in these patients is one of the most frequently identified mechanisms of acquired resistance. However, detecting a KRAS mutation via liquid biopsy can be caused by inter-tumor heterogeneity or it can be a false positive due to clonal hematopoiesis. More research is needed to determine whether ctDNA monitoring may help guide therapy options in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. We performed a literature review to assess the technologies that are used for analysis of RAS mutations on ctDNA, the degree of agreement between tissue and plasma and the importance of tissue/plasma discordant cases.
