Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cetuximab is expected as an anti-EGFR antibody molecule targeting drug for oral cancer.However, cases in which EGFR gene mutation has occurred due to continued administration and tolerance has been acquired, and cases in which the response is not responded due to the presence of the downstream KRAS gene mutation are problems.
Gene variation analysis was performed on nine cancer cell lines showing association with cetuximab.In Ca9-22 strain and HSG strain mutation was observed against PIK3CA.This result suggested that PIK3CA may be less susceptible to cetuximab.From the results of this study, it was proved in this study that mutation of PIK3CA gene greatly affects response rate in administration of cetuximab.
