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 Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have gain‐of‐function mutations of the c‐__kit__ gene. Previously, we found 2 types of gain‐of‐function mutation of the __PDGFRA__ gene, Val^561^ to Asp and Asp^842^ to Val, in about half of GISTs without c‐__kit__ gene mutations. Although th
## 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
