Circulating tumor cells as a longitudinal biomarker in patients with advanced chemorefractory, RAS-BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer receiving cetuximab or panitumumab

Abstract excerpt
A still relevant number of patients with RAS-BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer (CRC) do not respond to treatment with antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies cetuximab and panitumumab, suggesting that additional biomarkers to guide patient selection are urgently needed.
