KRAS testing and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor treatment for colorectal cancer in community settings

community settings

Webster J.
GSID: yCKyzQYLCigJ
J Webster, TL Kauffman, HS Feigelson… - Cancer Epidemiology …, 2013 - AACR

Background: In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), mutations in the KRAS gene predict poor response to EGF receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Clinical treatment guidelines now recommend KRAS testing if EGFR inhibitors are considered. Our study investigates the clinical uptake …

Factors associated with guideline-recommended KRAS testing in colorectal cancer patients: a population-based study

community settings

[No authors listed]
GSID: heL1kmDUpWcJ
ME Charlton, JJ Karlitz, JA Schlichting… - American journal of …, 2017 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Objectives Response to epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors is poorer among Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with KRAS mutations, thus KRAS testing is …

Rapid tumor necrosis and massive hemorrhage induced by bevacizumab and paclitaxel combination therapy in a case of advanced breast cancer.

OncoTargets and therapy

Ono M, Ito T, Kanai T, Murayama K, Koyama H, Maeno K, Mochizuki Y, Iesato A, Hanamura T, Okada T, Watanabe T, Ito K.
PMID: 24124381
Onco Targets Ther. 2013 Oct 07;6:1393-8. doi: 10.2147/OTT.S51164. eCollection 2013.

Bevacizumab when combined with chemotherapy exerts significant activity against many solid tumors through tumor angiogenesis inhibition; however, it can induce severe side effects. We report the rare case of a 27-year-old premenopausal woman with locally advanced breast cancer that...

Molecular recognition of gangliosides and their potential for cancer immunotherapies.

Frontiers in immunology

Krengel U, Bousquet PA.
PMID: 25101077
Front Immunol. 2014 Jul 21;5:325. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2014.00325. eCollection 2014.

Gangliosides are sialic-acid-containing glycosphingolipids expressed on all vertebrate cells. They are primarily positioned in the plasma membrane with the ceramide part anchored in the membrane and the glycan part exposed on the surface of the cell. These lipids have...

Liver regeneration and aging: a current perspective.

Current gerontology and geriatrics research

Schmucker DL, Sanchez H.
PMID: 21912543
Curr Gerontol Geriatr Res. 2011;2011:526379. doi: 10.1155/2011/526379. Epub 2011 Sep 08.

Many organ systems exhibit significant age-related deficits, but, based on studies in old rodents and elderly humans, the liver appears to be relatively protected from such changes. A remarkable feature of the liver is its capacity to regenerate its...

Comparison of different methods for detecting epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in peripheral blood and tumor tissue of non-small cell lung cancer as a predictor of response to gefitinib.

OncoTargets and therapy

Xu F, Wu J, Xue C, Zhao Y, Jiang W, Lin L, Wu X, Lu Y, Bai H, Xu J, Zhu G, Zhang L.
PMID: 23251095
Onco Targets Ther. 2012;5:439-47. doi: 10.2147/OTT.S37289. Epub 2012 Dec 12.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in tumor tissue and peripheral blood can predict the response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the heterogeneity of the...

Use of mTOR inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer: an evaluation of factors that influence patient outcomes.

Breast cancer (Dove Medical Press)

Jerusalem G, Rorive A, Collignon J.
PMID: 24833916
Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press). 2014 Apr 17;6:43-57. doi: 10.2147/BCTT.S38679. eCollection 2014.

Many systemic treatment options are available for advanced breast cancer, including endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy, and other targeted agents. Recently, everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, combined with exemestane, an...

Serum proteomic study on EGFR-TKIs target treatment for patients with NSCLC.

OncoTargets and therapy

Wu X, Liang W, Hou X, Lin Z, Zhao H, Huang Y, Fang W, Zhao Y, Wu J, Yang Y, Xue C, Hu Z, Zhang J, Zhang J, Ma Y, Zhou T, Qin T, Zhang L.
PMID: 24204163
Onco Targets Ther. 2013 Oct 21;6:1481-91. doi: 10.2147/OTT.S51887. eCollection 2013.

BACKGROUND: Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used for EGFR mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, tumor sample availability and heterogeneity of the tumor remain challenging for physicians' selection of these patients. Here, we...

EGFR-TKI resistance in NSCLC patients: mechanisms and strategies.

American journal of cancer research

Lin Y, Wang X, Jin H.
PMID: 25232485
Am J Cancer Res. 2014 Sep 06;4(5):411-35. eCollection 2014.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a kind of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that plays a critical role in the initiation and development of malignant tumors via modulating downstream signaling pathways. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the...

EGFR Gene Amplification and Protein Expression in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast.

Korean journal of pathology

Hwangbo W, Lee JH, Ahn S, Kim S, Park KH, Kim CH, Kim I.
PMID: 23667369
