Homeobox B9 Mediates Resistance to Anti-VEGF Therapy in Colorectal Cancer Patients
15 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Purpose: The identification of predictive biomarkers for antiangiogenic therapies remains an unmeet need. We hypothesized that the transcription factor Homeobox B9 (HOXB9) could be responsible for the tumor resistance to the anti-VEGF agent bevacizumab. Experimental Design: HOXB9 expression and activation were measured in eight models of colorectal and pancreatic cancer with different resistance to...
