Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Anti-EGFR antibodies are an essential treatment for RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the response is transient due to the emergence of acquired resistance. Although it is reported that acquired genetic alteration of the RAS signaling pathway, these genetic alterations are not identified in about half of the patients who had resistance to the anti-EGFR antibodies. To identify the reason for the acquired resistance for anti-EGFR antibodies, we had research of not only genetic but also epigenetic alterations occurring tumor suppressor genes in relation to the RAS signaling pathway. Fifty-five cases of metastatic colorectal cancer have been enrolled and their tissue and peripheral blood were corrected. We are analyzing epigenetic/ genetic status and continuing follow up of prognosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
RAS野生型の切除不能進行再発大腸癌治療において、抗EGFR抗体薬は最も有用な治療薬の1つであるが、獲得耐性の為にその効果は一時的である。この獲得耐性の機序を解明することは、大腸癌予後延長につながりうる。
