Clinical Cancer Research 12, 7232 (December 2006) EGFR mutations and response to treatment with erlotinib or gefitinib – prospective studies Collectively, these studies show a 75% response rate for patients whose tumors have mutations compared with a response rate of <10% for those with wild-type EGFR Riely et al. Clinical Cancer Research 12, 7232 (December 2006) Abordagem simplista Abordagem integrada Conclusions • Targeted therapies have been producing promising results, namely in specific subgroups of cancer patients • Research on the molecular aetiology of cancer is finally paying off! Don’t stop now! • Health-care institutions have the chance to save significant resources by targeting these therapies.
