PTEN loss of expression predicts cetuximab efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer patientsM Frattini
Institute of Pathology, Via in Selva 24, CH 6600 Locarno, Switzerland
Br J Cancer 97:1139-45. 2007..In addition to K-Ras mutations, we demonstrate for the first time that the loss of PTEN protein expression is associated with nonresponsiveness to cetuximab...
Differing deregulation of EGFR and downstream proteins in primary colorectal cancer and related metastatic sites may be clinically relevantF Molinari
Institute of Pathology, Locarno, Switzerland
Br J Cancer 100:1087-94. 2009....
Molecular characterization of EGFR and EGFR-downstream pathways in triple negative breast carcinomas with basal like featuresV Martin
Institute of Pathology, Locarno, Switzerland
Histol Histopathol 27:785-92. 2012..As a considerable fraction of TN-BCBLs shows EGFR deregulation, EGFR-targeted therapies have been proposed as an option. The characterization of EGFR and EGFR-downstream members may therefore provide important predictive information...

Institute of Pathology, Locarno, Switzerland
J Clin Pathol 62:314-24. 2009..Further advances in improving the quality of care of patients with cancers characterised by EGFR gene deregulation will depend on answering some of the questions underlined throughout this overview...

Experimental Molecular Pathology, Department of Pathology, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy
Cancer Lett 263:170-81. 2008..Therefore, combined quantitative and qualitative analyses of plasma DNA confirm the presence of colorectal cancer, define disease-free status and indicate the presence of relapse...
