## 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 (‘Iressa’), an orally a

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 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
Autocrine growth factors for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been identified in prostate tumors, implicating a role for EGFR in the progression of prostate cancer. To investigate early signaling mechanisms used by the EGFR in prostate tumor cells, we have characterized the involveme
