摘要: The discovery of the key role epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream signaling effectors in pathophysiology colorectal cancer (CRC) has ushered clinical use targeted therapies treatment metastatic CRC (mCRC). anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies cetuximab panitumumab improve overall survival when combined with chemotherapy first-line Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) neuroblastoma RAS (NRAS) wild type mCRC also progression-free response rate refractory mCRC. There are ongoing efforts to discover mechanisms innate acquired resistance KRAS patients take therapeutic advantage this knowledge by using rational combinations therapies. In review we will discuss evidence for current several recent investigations refine mCRC, including more complete inhibition EGFR, HER2 inhibition, MET proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase (MET) inhibition.
