Early FDG/PET Scanning as a Pharmacodynamic Marker of Anti-EGFR Antibody Activity in Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Panitumumab is an anti-EGF receptor (EGFR) antibody approved for use in treatment of chemotherapyrefractory colorectal cancers lacking K-RAS mutations. Despite overall response rates approximating 10%, no marker predictive of clinical benefit has been identified. We describe a chemotherapy-refractory patient whose clinical condition necessitated rapid identification of an effective agent in whom we used 18

“…Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been widely adopted as a tool for evaluating metabolic activity in tumors. FDG PET is also increasingly performed to detect earlier tumor responses to anti-cancer therapies [ 7 ]. It can allow the measurement of tumor response even in the absence of anatomic changes.…”

“…The RECIST 1.1 includes PET scans for the detection of new lesions. 18F-FDG PET is also increasingly adopted to monitor tumor responses to targeted therapies in solid tumor ( 24 ). It has been correlated with anatomical response and survival in patients treated with targeted agents for solid tumors ( 25 , 26 ).…”
