## Abstract The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are commonly expressed and activated in many malignancies. EGFR is an upstream activator of several pathways involved in tumor progression, and STATs activate selected genes involv
The upper aerodigestive tract mucosa of patients who develop squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is predisposed to abnormally regulated growth, evidenced by the high incidence of synchronous and metachronous malignancies. We conducted a series of experiments to show that aberrant re
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (__EGFR__) are present in βΌ10% of nonsmall cell lung cancers, and higher in neverβsmokers, women, and Asians. Small inβframe deletions in exon 19 (βΌ45%) and L858R mutation in exon 21 (βΌ40%) predict response to tre
