18 F-FDG uptake heterogeneity predicts KRAS/NRAS/BRAF mutation status in patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer
2020-05-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Cetuximab and Panitumumab,serve as monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), have been used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. However, mutations in KRAS, NRAS, BRAF indicate a lack of response to treatment for EGFR. The identification of KRAS/NRAS/BRAF mutation status is important to improve the success rate of this therapy. PET/CT imaging is a...
