Outline of Final Research Achievements

Because the effect of anti-EGFR antibodies in advanced colorectal cancer is limited to RAS wild type patients, it is necessary to select the patients by the genetic screening assay of the cancer tissue including the biopsy sample before the treatment. In addition, RAS mutations will be acquired during anti-EGFR antibodies therapy. Detection of a low-frequency clone with RAS mutations in the plasma during anti-EGFR antibodies therapy make it possible to identify the patient for an useful treatment and to evade continuation of an useless treatment. This approach is expected to improve the clinical outcomes and a nationwide cost-effectiveness of this treatment. A novel noninvasive screening assay for RAS mutations in the blood sample using next-generation sequencing as liquid biopsy was established in this study and our methods will help molecular monitoring of the disease over the time is necessary to identify mechanisms of resistance and to adapt the therapy to the new molecular target.
