We investigated the role of KRAS codons 61 and 146 and BRAF V600E mutations in predicting resistance to cetuximab plus irinotecan in a cohort of KRAS codons 12 and 13 wild-type patients.
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC2736831 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 4
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Diagnostic
Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses the role of the BRAF V600E mutation in predicting resistance to cetuximab plus irinotecan, indicating a correlation with treatment response. Diagnostic: The mention of BRAF V600E mutations in the context of a specific cohort of KRAS wild-type patients suggests its use in classifying or defining a subset of patients for treatment.
