Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA in Early- and Late-Stage Human Malignancies

Chetan Bettegowda, +69 more
TL;DR: The ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types was evaluated and suggested that ctDNA is a broadly applicable, sensitive, and specific biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes.
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

Emergence of KRAS mutations and acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in colorectal cancer

TL;DR: KRAS mutations are identified as frequent drivers of acquired resistance to cetuximab in colorectal cancers, indicate that the emergence of KRAS mutant clones can be detected non-invasively months before radiographic progression and suggest early initiation of a MEK inhibitor as a rational strategy for delaying or reversing drug resistance.
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

Gene copy number for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and clinical response to antiEGFR treatment in colorectal cancer: a cohort study

TL;DR: It is proposed that the response to antiEGFR treatment has a genetic basis and suggest that patients might be selected for treatment on the basis of EGFR copy number.
