Overcoming erlotinib resistance with STAT3 inhibition in pancreatic cancer.
304 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a major therapeutic challenge. Cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the standard approach in PDAC, but results in minimal survival benefit for patients, highlighting a desperate need for novel ...

A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

Acquired erlotinib resistance is the primary cause of treatment failure in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most current research focuses on end-stage resistance, whereas early events leading to resistance have been largely overlooked ...

TKI treatment promotes mitochondrial fission and metabolic reprogramming toward oxidative phosphorylation in residual EGFR‐mutant lung cancer cells. Targeting this metabolic vulnerability restores TKI sensitivity and provides a promising strategy to overcome acquired resistance.

Acquired resistance of lung adenocarcinomas to gefitinib or erlotinib is associated with a second mutation in the EGFR kinase domain. [PDF]
Lung adenocarcinomas from patients who respond to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib (Iressa) or erlotinib (Tarceva) usually harbor somatic gain-of-function mutations in exons encoding the kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)

A guide to transcriptional cyclin‐dependent kinases in cancer
Transcriptional cyclin‐dependent‐kinases (tCDKs) facilitate gene expression by promoting RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) progression through discrete phases of the transcription cycle. Aberrant tCDK activity is detectable in different human cancers, thereby contributing to de‐regulated gene expression programs that drive oncogenic phenotypes.
