Insulin-Like Growth Factor Receptor [PDF]
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling axis plays an essential role in the balance between cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Higher levels of IGF receptor are seen in lung tumor cells than normal tissue. IGF-1 receptor (IGFR-1R) and its ligand IGF-2 is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

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 ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Cross-Talk between Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors and Other Cell Surface Proteins
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) constitute signaling circuits that transmit signals across the plasma membrane, regulating pivotal cellular processes like differentiation, migration, proliferation, and apoptosis.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Spreading of EGF Receptor Activity into EGF-free Regions and Molecular Therapies of Cancer [PDF]
The primary activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has become a prominent target for molecular therapies against several forms of cancer. But despite considerable progress during the last years, many of its aspects remain poorly understood.
