Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to identify approximately 100 - 150 patients who have received Vectibix (Panitumumab) in offices and clinics located in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and North Georgia from February 2004 - April 2009. Information regarding the incidence and severity of hypersensitivity infusion reactions to Vectibix (Panitumumab)will be captured. In patients who experienced hypersensitivity reactions, the following information will also be collected: premedication, treatment cycle symptoms that were experienced during chemotherapy, changes required in subsequent Vectibix (Panitumumab) or chemotherapy treatment, and outcome of the hypersensitivity reaction.
