Testing ERBB2 p.L755S kinase domain mutation as a druggable target in a patient with advanced colorectal cancer
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC5002925
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The ERBB2 p.L755S mutation is described as likely being an activating mutation, indicating its potential role in driving cancer progression. Predictive: The presence of the ERBB2 p.L755S mutation guided the treatment decision to use trastuzumab, suggesting its predictive value for response to targeted therapy. Functional: The biological effect of the detected mutations was predicted using algorithms, indicating an assessment of their functional impact on tumor behavior.
