RAS mutation is an established predictive biomarker of resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer. In addition, previous studies identified mutations in ERBB2, FGFR1, PDGFRA, BRAF, MAP2K1, PTEN, and PIK3CA as potential mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR therapy. Testing for these mutations might be necessary to determine eligibility for anti-EGFR therapy in...
