HER2-amplified colorectal cancer: lines of therapy
3 standard-of-care settings across 2 lines and 3 biomarker subgroups. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.
Advanced, first line
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EGFR | Metastatic, first line | Standard doublet chemotherapy with bevacizumab; anti-EGFR antibodies are less effective in HER2-amplified tumours; tucatinib-trastuzumab-FOLFOX is under test in MOUNTAINEER-03. | NCCN Guidelines: Colon Cancer | 98 | |
| RAS | Metastatic, RAS wild-type, previously treated | Tucatinib plus trastuzumab (MOUNTAINEER); trastuzumab plus pertuzumab or lapatinib where tucatinib is unavailable. | NCCN Guidelines: Colon Cancer | 92 |
Other settings
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HER2 | After HER2 antibodies, or with RAS mutation | Trastuzumab deruxtecan (DESTINY-CRC02; tumour-agnostic approval for immunohistochemistry 3+), watching for pneumonitis. | NCCN Guidelines: Colon Cancer | 98 |
Sequence and caution pairings
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
