摘要: ABSTRACTIntroduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common worldwide. Targeted therapy drugs (TTDs) are a valid treatment, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors being one of commonly used for CRC patients. However, this treatment only useful patients with wild-type KRAS (wtKRAS) and effective on about 40 to 60% subset due high plasticity ErbB network.Areas covered: The invention proposes use protein levels dimer formation as biomarkers selecting, predicting monitoring showing sensitivity action EGFR benefit from combination HER2 inhibitors. in vitro data Lim1215 cells suggest over-activation HER3 signaling pathway response monotherapy; or MEK reversed activation.Expert opinion: To assess clinical applicabi...
