Wild-type KRAS is required for panitumumab efficacy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

TL;DR: Panitumumab monotherapy efficacy in mCRC is confined to patients with WT KRAS tumors, and KRAS status should be considered in selecting patients withmCRC as candidates for panitumuab mon Therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Cetuximab for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: Cetuximab improves overall survival and progression-free survival and preserves quality-of-life measures in patients with colorectal cancer in whom other treatments have failed.

KRAS Mutation Status Is Predictive of Response to Cetuximab Therapy in Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: KRAS mutations are a predictor of resistance to cetuximab therapy and are associated with a worse prognosis, and the EGFR amplification, which is not as frequent as initially reported, is also associated with response to this treatment.
