29 Take-Home Messages - RAS, BRAF, and MSI are crucial to make clinical decisions in mcrc - Novel molecular targets are being evaluated with promising results (HER2) - Exciting results are emerging for BRAF mutant tumors - Novel therapeutic strategies should take into consideration heterogeneity and clonal dynamics - Novel therapeutic strategies should integrate immune and stromal factors - Immunotherapy is an excellent option for patients with MSI-H tumors - For MSS CRC tumors, novel strategies are promising
