MDxHealth study examines use of irinotecan-based therapy in colorectal cancer, 8/13:88
MDxHealth announced data showing that methylation of the DCR1 gene may help guide oncologists in selecting metastatic colorectal cancer patients to receive irinotecan-based therapy. The data, presented at this year’s ASCO meeting, showed that CRC patients with methylated DCR1 did not benefit from the addition of irinotecan to capecitabine therapy.
