Conventional anticancer therapy using cytotoxic drugs lacks selectivity and is prone to toxicity and drug resistance. Anticancer therapies targeting aberrant growth factor receptor signaling are gaining interest. The erbB receptor family belongs to the type I, the receptor tyrosine kinases class, an

## Abstract ## __Background.__ Our objective was to identify the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cโKIT (CD117), and HER2/neu in sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). ## __Methods.__ Immunohistochemistry for cโKIT (CD117), EGFR, and HER2/neu was performed on paraffin
## Abstract Herโ2/__neu__ overexpression in human breast cancer leads to an aggressive biological behavior and poor prognosis. Although the antiโHerโ2/__neu__ antibody trastuzumab (Herceptinยฎ) has become a valuable therapeutic option for patients with Herโ2/__neu__โoverexpressing breast cancer, man
Extracellular nucleotides like ATP bind to cell surface receptors (P2 purinergic receptors) in many tissues. P2X receptor subtypes are intrinsic ion channels that mediate depolarization and influx of Ca 2+ , whereas the P2Y receptor subtypes couple through G proteins to activation of phospholipase C
## Abstract Members of the human epidermal receptor (HER) family are frequently associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis in multiple malignancies. Lapatinib is a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HERโ2. This study evaluated the the
