摘要: Given the high cost, optimizing survival of patients with colorectal cancer requires research into two important questions. Firstly, can there be improved efficacy these agents by using novel combinations existing or other new drugs? Secondly, what are mechanisms both innate and acquired resistance to Restricting use from those who have factors that govern immediate will enrich maximise initial response rates (RR). Identification governing may allow future strategies avoid ongoing durable responses therapy. This thesis aims explore methods targeted treatment EGFR pathway VEGF related in cancer. The biology each reviewed. Therapeutic options for inhibiting pathways discussed, focusing on agents. concept maximising effect targeting drugs target same Additionally, biological characteristics tumour predict individual also
