摘要: Over the past 10 years there has been a significant increase in armamentarium of agents available for use treatment advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Among these new are two monoclonal antibodies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR): cetuximab, mouse-human chimeric antibody, and panitumumab, fully human antibody. Both approved as monotherapy chemotherapy-refractory CRC. Cetuximab is also indicated combination with irinotecan. Here, we review reports phase II III clinical studies patients treated panitumumab or cetuximab monotherapy. The trials demonstrate similar efficacy profiles CRC monotherapy, some differences their adverse event profiles. In addition, recent results retrospective tumor KRAS gene mutational analyses anti-EGFR reviewed. Data from reviewed here clearly that an effective modality
