## Abstract __KRAS__ mutations are a strong predictive marker of resistance to antiโepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) but only a subset of wildโtype (WT) __KRAS__ patients are responders, suggesting the existence of additional markers of resistan
There is a growing interest in evaluating molecular markers as predictors of response to new generation of targeted cancer therapies. One of such areas is biological therapy targeting epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) in lung cancer. The testing of tumor tissue is focused on specific EGFR
