Title:

Response of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive colorectal cancer to lapatinib monotherapy: A case report

Excerpt:
Herein, we report a case of RAS/BRAF-wild-type metastatic CRC that was identified as HER2-positive through circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing by next-generation sequencing following the failure of two lines of therapy. Subsequently, the patient was given lapatinib monotherapy that led to a partial response with a progression-free survival of 7.9 mo....This is the first case report of HER2-positive RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic CRC patient responding to lapatinib monotherapy.
