EGFR/VEGFR Mutation Colorectal Cancer

EGFR/VEGFR mutation colorectal cancer is characterized by dysregulated EGFR signaling due to overexpression of EGFR protein or kinase-activating mutations, leading to enhanced cell proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, and survival. ADAM17 plays a key role in releasing EGFR ligands such as EGF, amphiregulin, and heparin-binding EGF, which activate downstream signaling pathways upon binding. These pathways are critical for tumor progression and metastasis, making EGFR a valuable therapeutic target. Resistance mechanisms, including acquired kinase-activating mutations, can emerge during anti-EGFR therapy. Molecular differences between colonic and rectal tumors influence their behavior and response to treatment, with diagnosis relying on colonoscopy and stool-based tests. Response to chemotherapy and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies guides clinical management, highlighting the importance of molecular profiling in personalized therapy.
