Oncogenic activation of the RAS/RAF signaling pathway impairs the response of metastatic colorectal cancers to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody therapies.

Abstract excerpt

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been introduced for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We have reported recently that increased copy number of the EGFR can predict response to anti-EGFR mAbs and that patients might be selected for treatment based on EGFR copy number. Here, we show that mutations activating the...
