Background: Identifying predictive biomarkers is important to optimally treat patients. This analysis evaluated the association of K-ras, BRAF, and PIK3CA gene mutations with tumor resistance to panitumumab alone. Patients and Methods: From 3 phase II panitumumab metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
Point mutations in codon 12, 13, and 61 of the K-ras gene are an early event in tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer, but the impact of number, type, and position of such mutations on the progression of adenomas as well as the clinical behaviour of colorectal carcinomas is not clearly established. A s
