摘要: Purpose The occurrence of KRAS mutation is predictive nonresponse and shorter survival in patients treated by anti–epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) antibody for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), leading the European Medicine Agency to limit its use with wild-type tumors. However, only half these will benefit from treatment, suggesting need identify additional biomarkers cetuximab-based treatment efficacy. Patients Methods We retrospectively collected tumors 173 mCRC. All but one patient received a regimen as second-line or greater therapy. BRAF status were assessed allelic discrimination. EGFR amplification was chromogenic situ hybridization fluorescent hybridization, expression PTEN immunochemistry. Results In (n = 116), mutations 5) weakly associated lack response (P .063) s...
