Abstract

Introduction: The outcome of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has improved significantly in the last few decades. Metastatic colorectal cancer is a highly heterogenous cancer. Beyond second line chemotherapy, treatment decisions are often based on molecular testing. 

Method: In this narrative review, we provide a comprehensive summary of data from key clinical trials and discuss how to integrate these agents into the current treatment landscape of metastatic colorectal cancer. 

Expert Opinion: In the era of precision medicine, molecular testing plays an increasingly important role in the management of mCRC. Efforts need to be made to target treatment based on molecular test results.
