Effects of KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, and PIK3CA mutations on the efficacy of cetuximab plus chemotherapy in chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer: a retrospective consortium analysis

TL;DR: This is the largest cohort to date of patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab plus chemotherapy in the pre-KRAS selection era and confirmed that, if KRAS is not mutated, assessing BRAF, NRAS, and PIK3CA population response rates confirmed that.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wild-Type BRAF Is Required for Response to Panitumumab or Cetuximab in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: BRAF wild-type is required for response to panitumumab or cetuximab and could be used to select patients who are eligible for the treatment and should be used for selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

PIK3CA mutations in colorectal cancer are associated with clinical resistance to EGFR-targeted monoclonal antibodies.

TL;DR: The mutational analysis of PIK3CA and KRAS and evaluation of the PTEN protein status in a cohort of 110 patients with mCRC treated with anti-EGFR moAbs indicate that Pik3CA mutations can independently hamper the therapeutic response to panitumumab or cetuximab in mC RC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) suitable treatments for progressing low-grade and high-grade neuroendocrine tumours?

TL;DR: The XELOX regimen is effective and tolerated in well-differentiated NETs after progression following somatostatin analogues and biochemical and symptomatic responses were 20 and 50%, respectively.
