Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of efficacy with KRAS status (wild type versus mutant) in patients with irinotecan-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), treated with irinotecan (q2w) and escalating doses of cetuximab (q1w): The EVEREST experience (preliminary data)

TL;DR: This work has shown that in pts with mCRC after failure of irinotecan-based therapy, the efficacy could be improved by escalating the dose of cetuximab, and this work aims to demonstrate this in patients with a prior history of central giant cell granuloma.
