Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene Copy Number and Clinical Outcome of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated With Panitumumab
30 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In a previous cohort study, we proposed that responsiveness of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies has a genetic basis, being associated with increased EGFR gene copy number (GCN) as measured by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in individual tumors. The present study was aimed at assessing the predictive role of EGFR GCN, in...
