摘要: In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, the predictive value of KRAS mutational status in selection for treatment anti–epidermal growth factor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies is established. non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), utility determining to predict clinical benefit anti-EGFR therapies remains unclear. This review will provide a brief description Ras biology, an overview aberrant signaling NSCLC, and summarize data using as negative biomarker therapies. Retrospective investigations predictor from NSCLC have been performed; however, small samples sizes result low prevalence mutations rate tumor sample collection limited strength these analyses. Although association between presence mutation lack o...
