Prediction of response to anti-EGFR antibody-based therapies by multigene sequencing in colorectal cancer patients
27 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) cetuximab or panitumumab are administered to colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who harbor wild-type RAS proto-oncogenes. However, a percentage of patients do not respond to this treatment. In addition to mutations in the RAS genes, mutations in other genes, such as BRAF, PI3KCA, or PTEN, could be involved in the resistance...
