Abstract excerpt
Multiple genetic alterations have been associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Research has been mainly focused on driver mutations in KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PI3K. However, recent evidence suggests a crucial role for non-genetic mechanisms in conferring resistance to anti-EGFR therapy. Specifically, the HER3 receptor is capable of heterodimerizing with...
