Decision-making of ctDNA in Patients With mCRC After Failure of First-line Treatment Containing Cetuximab - a Single-center, Phase II Clinical Study

This study aimis at detecting the genomic changes of ctDNA in patients of RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC, who failed after first line treatment containing cetuximab. According to the results of ctDNA detection, individualized second-line targeted therapy strategies were developed to explore the disease control rate and prognostic significance of ctDNA-guided treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
