Short-hairpin RNA library: identification of therapeutic partners for gefitinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
Somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor often cause resistance to therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we aimed to identify partner drugs and pathways that can induce cell death in
