EPOC Resectable Liver Mets Chemo +/- Cetuximab 有或没有西妥昔单抗的化疗结果
Addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy and surgery for operable colorectal liver metastases in KRAS exon 2 wild-type patients results in shorter progression-free survival. Translational investigations to explore the molecular basis for this unexpected interaction are needed but at present the use of cetuximab in this setting cannot be recommended. 1.
