Abstract
Patients with chemotherapy refractory metastatic colorectal cancer and KRAS mutations have no effective treatment option. The present study evaluated the efficacy of temsirolimus in chemotherapy refractory mCRC with KRAS mutations. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate if resistance to temsirolimus could be reversed by the addition of irinotecan. Finally, we analyzed pre-treatment blood samples for KRAS mutations to investigate the association between quantitative measures of KRAS mutated alleles and clinical outcome.
