Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene alteration and protein overexpression in Malaysian triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cohort [PDF]
Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptor proteins that plays important roles in tumour cell survival and proliferation.

Targeting the EGFR in ovarian cancer with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 (“Iressa”). [PDF]
The modulating effects of the orally active epidermal growth factor receptor-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD 1839 (‘Iressa’) on cell growth and signalling were evaluated in four ovarian cancer cell lines (PE01, PE04, SKOV-3, OVCAR-5) that express ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Cell Proliferation Signaling Pathways
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is commonly upregulated in cancers such as in non-small-cell lung cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast ...

Intraocular Metastases Secondary to Breast Carcinoma Correlates With Upregulation of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor Expression in the Primary Tumor [PDF]
To compare estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) receptor expression in the primary tumor of patients affected by choroidal metastases from breast carcinoma (BC) versus those with extraocular ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Pathway [PDF]
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway has provided a new therapeutic target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are being used globally as systemic treatment in advanced NSCLC. In addition, clinical observations with EGFR TKIS led to the discovery of EGFR activating mutations, which has ...

Inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor at a distance. [PDF]
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase is implicated in a large number of human cancers. Most EGFR inhibitors target the extracellular, growth factor-binding domain or the intracellular, ATP-binding domain. Here we describe molecules

Acquired drug resistance conferred by a KRAS gene mutation following the administration of cetuximab: a case report [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although a number of studies have reported acquired drug resistance due to administration of epidermal growth factor receptor antibody inhibitors, the underlying causes of this phenomenon remain unclear.
