## Abstract Although the blockade of the hedgehog cascade by using cyclopamine has been reported to inhibit the growth of some cancer cell types, few studies on the mechanism by which this drug alone or in combination with other cytotoxic agents induces its cytotoxic effect have been reported. In o
## 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

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
