## 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)
## Abstract Constitutive bcl‐2 overexpression increases the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of doxorubicin‐resistant, estrogen‐independent, MCF‐7 ADR human breast cancer cells. We evaluated the sensitivity to taxanes (paclitaxel, docetaxel and IDN 5109) of 2 bcl‐2‐overexpressing MCF‐7 ADR clon
## Abstract Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors are regarded as promising antitumor agents for cancer treatment. Iressa® (ZD1839) is an orally active, selective EGFR‐TKI (epidermal growth factor receptor‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor) that blocks signal transduction pathways implicated in cancer cell
