Epidermal growth factor receptor-overexpression reported in colorectal cancer, justifies therapeutic use of EGFR-inhibitors. We have recently conducted a phase II study in 57 patients with EGFR-positive advanced colorectal cancer (ACC) who received gefitinib-FOLFOX6 followed by gefitinib-single agent as maintenance. Main biological objective was to assess sEGFR as surrogate marker of tyrosine kinase inhibition and as predictor of response.
