## Abstract Constitutive bcl‐2 overexpression increases the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of doxorubicin‐resistant, estrogen‐independent, MCF‐7 ADR human breast cancer cells. We evaluated the sensitivity to taxanes (paclitaxel, docetaxel and IDN 5109) of 2 bcl‐2‐overexpressing MCF‐7 ADR clon

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
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
