Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis with a 5 year survival rate of only ~ 10%. Important driver mutations underlying NSCLC affect the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) causing the constitutive activation of its tyrosine kinase ...

Mediating EGFR-TKI Resistance by VEGF/VEGFR Autocrine Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
NSCLC treatment includes targeting of EGFR with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as Erlotinib; however, resistance to TKIs is commonly acquired through T790M EGFR mutations or overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2)

Challenges of drug resistance in the management of pancreatic cancer [PDF]
The current treatment of choice for metastatic pancreatic cancer involves single agent gemcitabine or combination of gemcitabine with capecitabine and erlotinib (tyrosine kinase inhibitor).

Identification of novel epigenetic mediators of erlotinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer
Lung cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in the world; however it is the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of the lung cancer cases. The current strategies to treat NSCLC patients

Erlotinib in patients with previously irradiated, recurrent brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer: Two case reports [PDF]
Background: With the current improvements in primary lung care, the long-term control of brain metastases becomes a clinical challenge. No established therapeutic approaches exist for cranial relapse after response to previous radiotherapy and systemic ...

Role and mechanism of hexokinase 2 in erlotinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer
Objective To observe the expression of hexokinase 2 (HK2), a key enzyme of glycolysis, in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and to investigate the role and mechanism of HK2 in the resistance of NSCLC to erlotinib. Methods The relationship

Novel therapeutic targets in NSCLC resistance to Erlotinib [PDF]
Approximately 10% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) have an activating mutation within the kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as Erlotinib and Gefitinib, have been developed
