摘要: ABSTRACTIntroduction: Targeted agents alone or in combination with chemotherapy are current standard of treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody which inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It currently approved first- and second-line as monotherapy chemorefractory patients. RAS gene mutations confer resistance to anti-EGFR agents; thus, panitumumab restricted wild-type (WT) tumors.Areas covered: This review explores available data on and presents new perspectives predictive markers efficacy including primary tumor sidedness BRAF mutations. Other details covered include panitumumab’s mechanism action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics safety aspects therapy well mechanisms secondary future prospects different settings.Expert opinion: has significantly added ...
