BRAF

26
Q

Mutations predict lack of response to anti-egfr mabs
A. KRAS
B. BRAF

A

A. KRAS

27
Q

DO NOT USE cetuximab and panitumumab
A. KRAS
B. BRAF

A

A. KRAS

28
Q

when is bevacizumab appropriate in colorectal cancer?

A

in stage IV -> metastatic

29
Q

1st line metastatic disease regimens: no targeted mutations (2 choices)

A

5-FU + leucovorin
OR
capecitabine +/- bevacizumab

30
Q

1st line metastatic disease KRAS wild type, left sided

A

cetuximab
or
panitumumab
(EGFR targets) -> these two are only effective when there are no mutations to KRAS

31
Q

1st line metastatic disease: dMMR/MSI-H

A

nivolumab +/- ipilimumab
or
pembro

32
Q

1st line metastatic disease:
HER2 positive

A

trastuzumab +/- pertuzumab/lapatinib/tucatinib

33
Q

2nd line therapy:
disease progression with prior oxaliplatin based regimens. *

A

FOLFIRI*
OR
irinotecan (this was the first in the list out of 7 so im sure just know this one)

34
Q

2nd line therapy:
disease progression with prior irinotecan-based regimen *

A

FOLFOX or CapeOX
(this was the first in the list out of 5 so im sure just know this one)

35
Q

disease progression with prior oxaliplatin based regimens
A. FOLFIRI
B. FOLFOX

A

A. FOLFIRI

36
Q

disease progression with irinotecan based regimens
A. FOLFIRI
B. FOLFOX

A

B. FOLFOX

37
Q

2 screening tests she told us to know that PRIMARILY detect cancer *

A

fecal occult blood test (FOBT)
and
fecal immunohistochemical test (FIT)

38
Q

detects hemoglobin:
A. FIT
B. FOBT

A

A. FIT

39
Q

2 tests to primarily detect cancer AND advanced lesions

A

endoscopy
and
colonoscopy -> gold standard

40
Q

what age do you get screened if you have a 1st degree relative with colorectal cancer hx

A

40 instead of 45

41
Q

T or F:
calcium-rich diet decreases proliferative response to fatty acids and bile acids

A

true

42
Q

3 things listed under colon cancer prevention (not including diet stuff which is obvious -> high fiber, less fat)

A
  • cyclooxygenase inhibitors -> says FDA indication removed in 2011 so thats odd
  • NSAIDS or aspirin
  • colectomy
43
Q

5-FU:
- converted in vitro to _____ and ____
- FUTP incorporates into ____ and impairs protein synthesis
- ______ binds thymidylate synthase and reduces rate of dna synthesis, replication, and repair

A
  • FUTP, FdUMP
  • RNA
  • FdUMP
44
Q

5-FU extensively metabolized by _____ in the liver

A

DPD (you should remember this)

45
Q

a few common toxicities with 5-FU

A

diarrhea, mucositis, myelosuppression

46
Q

Leucovorin stabilizes the binding of _____ to _______ resulting in enhancement of the toxicity of fDUMP

A

fDUMP to thymidylate synthase (TS)

47
Q

SN-38

A

irinotecan

48
Q

cholinergic symptom of irinotecan that is treated with atropine *

A

early onset diarrhea

49
Q

okay so if you see irinotecan and you’re thinking about side effects and shit what do you think of

A

diarrhea

50
Q

unique toxicities oxaliplatin (3) *

A

neuropathy, COLD INTOLERANCES, sensation of not being able to breathe

51
Q

dose limiting toxicity of Capecitabine *

A

hand-foot syndrome and diarrhea

52
Q

Cetuximab binds to the (intracellular/extracellular) domain of EGFR

A

extracellular

53
Q

2 underlined adverse events for cetuximab * (both of these also had **)

A

acneiform rash
hypomagnesemia

54
Q

pre-medicating with an ___ ___________ is recommended with Cetuximab

A

55
Q

Recombinant IgG2 monoclonal antibody and binds specifically to EGFR

A

Panitumumab

56
Q

2 underlined and asterisked toxicities of Panitumumab

A

acneiform rash
hypomagnesemia

57
Q

binds VEGF

A

Bevacizumab

58
Q

T or F:
Bevacizumab is given in combo with 5-FU, leuco, and irino

A

True, not a solo drug

59
Q

significant toxicities (a few but one main one i think) for bevacizumab

A

BLEEDING
htn
proteinuria
thromboembolism
GI perforations
decreased wound healing (bleeding)

60
Q

T or F:
Cetuximab has many black box warnings
