The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed and/or constitutively activated in a variety of human malignancies. Detection of increased expression levels of EGFR in cancer and the association between overexpression and decreased patient survival has led to the development of several therapeutic strategies to target this receptor. The results of early-phase clinical trials to date suggest that...
