While the treatment of colorectal cancer continues to rely heavily on conventional cytotoxic therapy, an increasing number of targeted agents are under development. Many of these treatments require companion diagnostic tests in order to define an appropriate population that will derive benefit. In addition, a growing number of biomarkers provide prognostic information about a patient's malignancy. As we learn more about these biomarkers and their assays, selecting the appropriate companion diagnostic becomes increasingly important. In the case of many biomarkers, there are numerous assays which could provide the same information to a treating physician, however each assay has strengths and weaknesses. Institutions must balance cost, assay sensitivity, turn-around time, and labor resources when selecting which assay to offer. In this review we will discuss the current state of companion diagnostics available in metastatic colorectal cancer and explore emerging biomarkers and their assays. We will focus on and testing, as well as microsatellite stability assessment and multigene panels.
虽然结直肠癌的治疗仍严重依赖传统的细胞毒性疗法,但越来越多的靶向药物正在研发中。这些治疗方法中的许多都需要配套诊断测试,以便确定能从中获益的合适人群。此外,越来越多的生物标志物可提供有关患者恶性肿瘤的预后信息。随着我们对这些生物标志物及其检测方法的了解越来越多,选择合适的配套诊断变得越来越重要。对于许多生物标志物而言,有众多检测方法可为治疗医生提供相同的信息,然而每种检测方法都有优缺点。机构在选择提供哪种检测方法时,必须在成本、检测灵敏度、周转时间和人力资源之间取得平衡。在本综述中,我们将讨论转移性结直肠癌中现有配套诊断的现状,并探索新兴的生物标志物及其检测方法。我们将重点关注 和 检测,以及微卫星稳定性评估和多基因检测板。
