摘要: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a therapeutic target in colorectal cancer (CRC). The benefit from EGFR inhibitors appears to be limited subset of patients with CRC. Mechanisms resistance are being identified. KRAS codon 12 activating mutation predominate mechanism around 40% advanced Other potential mechanisms include ligand expression, increased number, mutations BRAF and activation alternate signaling pathways.
