human epidermal growth factor receptor expression in colorectal cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics
background: some recent studies reported human epidermal growth factor receptor (her-2/neu) as a marker that can be used in immunological studies of colorectal carcinoma for predicting the prognosis and the treatment. therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of her-2 expression in patients with colorectal cancer, and explore the relationship between clinicopathological prognostic factor...
متن کاملBiomarkers of Resistance to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Monoclonal Antibodies in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
Genomics and proteomics have held out the promise of individualized medicine for the last 10 or 20 years, but clinical medicine has not yet delivered on this promise. Some cancers, such as breast cancer and some hematologic malignancies, have been at the forefront of individualized therapeutic approaches by integrating molecular biomarkers into treatment decision algorithms. Until recently, the...
متن کاملBiomarkers Predicting Clinical Outcome of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Targeted Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
The monoclonal antibodies panitumumab and cetuximab that target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have expanded the range of treatment options for metastatic colorectal cancer. Initial evaluation of these agents as monotherapy in patients with EGFR-expressing chemotherapy-refractory tumors yielded response rates of approximately 10%. The realization that detection of positive EGFR exp...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapy in colorectal cancer.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family plays an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC). EGFR participates in the key process of tumorigenesis and invasion, and its expression correlates with the prognosis of CRC. EGFR-targeted therapy has been widely utilized in stage III and IV CRC. The EGFR antibodies, cetuximab and panitumumab, are widely used in treatment of CRC. There are cl...
متن کاملAnti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Monoclonal Antibodies in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Biotherapy: A Systematic Review
The standard treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is combination of 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid (5-FU/FA) with irinotecan or oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Two anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab and panitumumab) have been developed recently in an effort to provide yet another therapeutic option against mCRC. Cetuximab is a recombinant human...
