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 The epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays a role in the development of prostate cancer, which becomes essential after androgen resistance has emerged. The EGF receptor (EGFR) is therefore a potential target for anticancer therapy. We evaluated the effects of ZD1839 (โIressaโ), an orally a
Since estrogens play a predominant role in the development and growth of human breast cancer, antiestrogens represent a logical approach to the treatment of this disease. The present study compares the effects of the novel nonsteroidal anti-estrogen EM-800 and related compounds with those of a serie
## Abstract Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors are regarded as promising antitumor agents for cancer treatment. Iressaยฎ (ZD1839) is an orally active, selective EGFRโTKI (epidermal growth factor receptorโtyrosine kinase inhibitor) that blocks signal transduction pathways implicated in cancer cell
