## Abstract We investigated the role of the MEK/MAPK pathway in the sensitivity/resistance of breast carcinoma cells to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib (IRESSA). We assessed the effects of gefitinib on the growth of three breast cancer cell lines that showed high (SK‐Br‐3; IC~50~ 4 µM)
Overexpression of the growth factor receptors EGFR and erbB2 occurs frequently in several human cancers and is associated with aggressive tumour behaviour and poor patient prognosis. We have investigated the effects of ZD1839 (Iressa), a novel EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the growth, in vitro
High expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in breast carcinoma confers a growth advantage to the tumor cells. The EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) ZD1839 ('Iressa') has clinical activity in a wide range of tumor types, although the mechanism(s) by which it exerts its ant
## Abstract Progression from an androgen‐dependent to an androgen‐independent state often occurs in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) who undergo hormonal therapy. We have investigated whether inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway affects the antitumor effect
