摘要: Objectives: To develop evidence-based guideline recommendations through a systematic review of the literature to establish standard molecular biomarker testing colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues guide epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies and conventional chemotherapy regimens. Methods: The American Society for Clinical Pathology, College Pathologists, Association Molecular Oncology convened an expert panel patients with CRC. A comprehensive search that included more than 4,000 articles was conducted. Results: Twenty-one statements were established. Conclusions: Evidence supports mutational EGFR signaling pathway genes, since they provide clinically actionable information as negative predictors benefit anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody targeted therapy Mutations in several biomarkers have clear prognostic value. Laboratory approaches operationalize CRC are presented. Key Words: diagnostics; Gastrointestinal; Histology; Genetics; Oncology.
