Distant metastases and multidrug resistance are critical problems in the therapy of human small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In this study, we investigated whether transduction of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene into multidrug-resistant (MDR) human lung cancer cells affected the form
## Abstract Lung cancer patients suffer a 15% overall survival despite advances in chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. This unacceptably low survival rate is due to the usual finding of advanced disease at diagnosis. However, multimodality strategies using conventional therapies only mini
## Abstract The presence of activating mutations within the tyrosine kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene has been attributed to a positive response to biological therapy of lung cancer by smallβmolecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gefitinib and erlotinib. Among the two most
There is a growing interest in evaluating molecular markers as predictors of response to new generation of targeted cancer therapies. One of such areas is biological therapy targeting epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) in lung cancer. The testing of tumor tissue is focused on specific EGFR
