Modeling RAS Phenotype in Colorectal Cancer Uncovers Novel Molecular Traits of RAS Dependency and Improves Prediction of Response to Targeted Agents in Patients
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: KRAS wild-type status is an imperfect predictor of sensitivity to anti-EGF receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies in colorectal cancer, motivating efforts to identify novel molecular aberrations driving RAS. This study aimed to build a quantitative readout of RAS pathway activity to (i) uncover molecular surrogates of RAS activity specific to colorectal cancer, (ii) improve the prediction of cetuximab...
