摘要: Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common and second cause of death globally. Significant improvements in survival have been made patients with metastasis by new therapies. For example, Cetuximab Panitumumab are monoclonal antibodies that inhibit epidermal growth receptor (EGFR). KRAS mutations codon 12 13 recognized biomarkers analyzed clinics before administration anti-EGFR therapy. Genetic analyses revealed predict a lack response to metastatic CRC (mCRC). Notably, it estimated 35–45% harbor mutations. Therefore, mutation testing should be performed all individuals advanced order identify who will not respond EGFR antibody inhibitors. New techniques for arisen rapidly, each technique has advantages disadvantages. Herein, we review latest published literature specific techniques. Since reliability feasibility important issues clinical analyses. this also summarizes effectiveness limitations numerous
