Brief Summary

The present study will investigate the feasibility and clinical value of using circulating tumor DNA as selection for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

The primary aim of this prospective study is to investigate if cfDNA in plasma is feasible and reliable for selection of mCRC patients who will benefit of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy

Secondary, to analyze developments in mutational status as reflected by cfDNA in plasma during therapy and at time of progression
