Personalized Treatment is Better than one Treatment Fits All in the Management of Patients with mCRC: A Consensus Statement

Abstract: The VEGF- (bevacizumab) and EGFR- (cetuximab and panitumumab) targeting monoclonal antibodies have become integral components of the first-line treatment strategies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Increasingly combination chemotherapy, with or without a targeted agent, is being used to facilitate curative liver resection and improve survival rates in patients with initially unresectable but potentially resectable mCRC. Currently, the only selective marker for the treatment of patients wi… Show more

“…Chemotherapeutic drugs based on 5-FU and oxaliplatin do not sufficiently control the progression of advanced CRC ( 33 ). Molecular targeted drugs such as EGFR/VEGFR inhibitors offer hope for patients with advanced CRC ( 34 ), but the prognosis of advanced patients with CRC remains poor. Conventional tumor markers such as CEA and CA19-9 cannot suitably predict the occurrence and development of tumors due to poor sensitivity ( 1 ).…”

“…Given the predictive significance of RAS mutations, determinination of RAS mutation status from tumor samples is now a prerequisite prior to considering treatment with anti-EGFR inhibitors. 26 Use of these agents in KRAS -mutated ( KRAS -MT) tumors has been associated with worse survival outcomes. 27 …”

“…Treatment of CRC usually involves surgical resection of the primary tumor(s) followed by chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy for the advanced (stage III and IV) disease[ 6 ]. New drugs approved for CRC in recent years mainly fall into the class of molecular targeted drugs, including the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors[ 7 ].…”
