Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown a correlation between expression of the EGF receptor type III mutation (EGFRvIII) and a more malignant phenotype of various cancers including: non-small-cell lung cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Thus, a detailed molecular genetic understanding of how the EGFRvIII contributes to the malignant phenotype is of major importance for future therapy. The...
