Colorectal cancerEGFR geneMutationParaffin-embedded tissueReal time PCRThe development of various human tumors can be related to the activation of the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its subsequent signaling pathways. There are so much alertness and awareness that has been given to the ...
analysis revealed that a clone with anNRASG12C mutation rapidly became predominant in the population while the heterogeneity decreased as indicated by barcode analysis inSupplementary Fig. 3. After 2 months, another clone, labelled with a different barcode and carrying theEGFRS492R mutation, started ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) formation begins with APC gene mutation (inherited or acquired) and methylation abnormalities. Other changes can include KRAS gene mutation. Late in the process, p53 deletion, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 18q21 (involving SMAD2 and SMAD4), with overexpression of COX-2...

Approximately 30% to 50% of colorectal tumors are known to have a mutated (abnormal) KRAS gene, indicating that up to 50% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) might respond to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody therapy. However, 40
In colorectal cancer, mutation of(RAS) reduces therapeutic options, negatively affecting prognosis of the patients. In this setting, administration of CDK4/6-inhibitors, alone or in combination with other drugs, is being tested as promising therapeutic strategy. Identifying sensitive patients and overco...
While theBRAFmutation is associated with a negative prognosis, its predictive value in the context of EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy is not fully understood. The present review aims to outline possible clinical and molecular biomarkers of EGFR monoclonal antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer....
