Abstract excerpt
Combination treatment with cetuximab and CPT-11 produces beneficial and synergistic effects in wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. However, the mechanism underlying this synergism is not yet understood. We examined whether cetuximab had a synergistic effect with CPT-11 and its active metabolite, SN38, and examined the molecular mechanism of the synergism between cetuximab and SN38 in CRC...
