N2 - Adenocarcinoma with mucinous histology or mucinous component are histologic subtypes of metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs) with limited benefit from cytotoxic agents. Their sensitivity to anti-epithelial growth factor receptors (EGFRs) is not clear. We retrospectively identified patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with anti-EGFRs. Our findings suggest no benefit from anti-EGFRs in mCRC with mucinous histology or mucinous component, irrespective of sidedness.
