Considerations for sequencing anti-EGFR

vs anti-VEGF mAb therapy in mCRC

Wainberg ZA, Drakaki A. Expert Opin Biol Ther 2015; Zaniboni A, Fornica V. Cancer Chemother Phalmacol 2016

• Anti-EGFR-resistant cells may remain sensitive to anti-VEGF mAb therapy*

whereas anti-VEGF-resistant cells may become simultaneously resistant to

anti-EGFR therapy†

• Tumour cells are less (epi)genetically stable than stromal cells so it may be

preferable to use tumour cell-targeted drugs (e.g. anti-EGFR mAb) early
