Reporting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with serum creatinine simply provides the information for which the serum creatinine was ordered in the first place. Mass or universal screening is not the purpose of eGFR reporting. Furthermore, such mass screening does not seem justified.

Discovery of a novel EGFR ligand DPBA that degrades EGFR and suppresses EGFR-positive NSCLC growth [PDF]
AbstractEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation plays a pivotal role in EGFR-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is considered as a key target of molecular targeted therapy. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been canonically used in NSCLC treatment.

Optimized EGFR Blockade Strategies in EGFR Addicted Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinomas [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: Gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas represent the third leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Despite significant therapeutic improvement, the outcome of patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma is poor. Randomized clinical trials failed to show a

Analysis of Epithelial Growth Factor-Receptor (EGFR) Phosphorylation in Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumors [PDF]
Uterine fibroids are the commonest uterine benign tumors. A potential mechanism of malignant transformation from leiomyomas to leiomyosarcomas has beendescribed.

EGFR‐AS1 Promotes Bladder Cancer Progression by Upregulating EGFR [PDF]
Long noncoding RNAs play an essential role in bladder cancer progression. The role of long noncoding RNA EGFR‐AS1 in bladder cancer needs further study. We used clinical specimens to analyze the relationship between EGFR‐AS1 and bladder cancer patients’ characteristics.

GFR is the accepted metric for evaluating renal function but measuring it directly (mGFR) can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly. The constant infusion method using inulin as the filtration marker, introduced in 1934 by Richards and Smith (1), has undergone many revisions that have now made mGFR easier to perform, although not widely available ...

Improved Biological Impacts of Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody in KRAS-Mutant Colorectal Cancer Cells by Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticle Conjugation [PDF]
Background: The therapeutic potential of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeting in colorectal cancer (CRC) is hindered by the presence of KRAS codon 12 activating mutations, prevalent in approximately 25% of advanced CRC cases.

Simulation of the regulation of EGFR endocytosis and EGFR‐ERK signaling by endophilin‐mediated RhoA‐EGFR crosstalk [PDF]
Deregulations of EGFR endocytosis in EGFR‐ERK signaling are known to cause cancers and developmental disorders. Mutations that impaired c‐Cbl–EGFR association delay EGFR endocytosis and produce higher mitogenic signals in lung cancer. ROCK, an effector of small GTPase RhoA was shown to negatively regulate EGFR endocytosis via endophilin A1.

Brk/PTK6 sustains activated EGFR signaling through inhibiting EGFR degradation and transactivating EGFR [PDF]
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated cell signaling is critical for mammary epithelial cell growth and survival; however, targeting EGFR has shown no or only minimal therapeutic benefit in patients with breast cancer. Here, we report a novel regulatory mechanism of EGFR signaling that may explain the low response rates. We found that breast
