RET is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in neuroendocrine cells and in tumors of these cell types. RET activation may be mediated by a ligand complex comprising glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (GFRβ£-1). Activating RET mutations are found in the
A total of 39 patients with non-small cell carcinoma of the lung (NSCL) were treated with cisplatin, etoposide, and mitomycin. A major response rate (complete response + partial response) was seen in 15 patients (39%). Median survival for all patients was 340 days; median survival of the responding
Non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are often infiltrated by T lymphocytes. It is postulated that the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) reflects a local host immune response against autologous tumors. To identify the nature of NSCLC TIL, we have characterized the molecular structure o
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) has been implicated in the progression of human tumours via both autocrine and paracrine (angiogenic) activities. We investigated the expression of FGF-2 and FGF receptors (FGFR-1 to -4) in NSCLC cell lines (N β«Ψβ¬ 16), NSCLC surgical specimens (N β«Ψβ¬ 21) and 2
