摘要
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) is considered a major target for treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). We found a mean EGFr content significantly lower but more activated in colonic neoplastic tissue than in paired normal mucosa. Phosphorylated (pY1068) EGFr detection in CRC may be a better tool than EGFr detection to select patients for targeted therapies.
