Objective: To understand panitumumab use and safety in the clinical practice. Method: We conducted a retrospective study in the years 2009 and 2010, which included all those patients who had received panitumumab during this period. The collected variables were age, prior treatments, number of cycles, dose, pattern, changes in dose and pattern, adverse effects and cause for treatment suspension. Results: We found that the majority of patients received panitumumab after other treatments failed. 48% of the population took panitumumab combined with other medications. The most common adverse reactions were dermatological. The adverse reaction profile did not vary in a significant way between the two types of administration. 13.4% of patients who received panitumumab were suffering from head and neck cancer Conclusions: We observed an extended use of panitumumab in a polytherapy regime. This last one was more effective than in monotherapy, with a slightly higher toxicity.
