Prognostic Implications of EGFR Expression in Gastric Cancer
• Conflicting results. • Song et at ASCO 2003
– 665 patients– 25 % EGFR positive.– Related to:
• Higher grade.• Diffuse histological type.• Nerve invasion.
• Not associated with outcome.

HER1/EGFR Inhibitors: Schedule-Dependent Interactions with Chemotherapy
• No survival benefit of HER1/EGFR-targeting TKIs given concurrently with chemotherapy – INTACT 1/2: gefitinib with gemcitabine/cisplatin or
paclitaxel/carboplatin– TALENT: erlotinib with gemcitabine/cisplatin – TRIBUTE: erlotinib with paclitaxel/carboplatin
• In vitro effect of different schedules when combining HER1/EGFR inhibitors with conventional chemotherapy– Erlotinib preexposure abrogated the G2/M effect of paclitaxel – Cetuximab preexposure abrogated the G2/M effect of paclitaxel– Choice of schedule in combining HER1/EGFR-targeting agents
in chemotherapy may be important– Further studies required to evaluate hypothesis

• A431. Erlotinib induced short-lasting growth arrest, and cetuximab prompted a more delayed tumor control. The combination was superior in terms of tumor growth arrest, and cetuximab significantly decreased EGFR levels.
Growth evaluation of A431 cell line in vivo. Mice were treated with vehicle (♦), erlotinib (■), cetuximab (▲), or a combination of both (×) during 14 days. ELISA assessment of EGFR protein content is shown beside.

Conclusions
• EGFR may be a relevant target in gastric cancer.
• Prognostic implication not clear.• Studies thus far are limited.• Future directions include:
– Prediction of outcome.– Combination with existing and new
treatments.
