Abstract excerpt
The detection of gene mutation of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) is important to predict the therapeutic effect of gefitinib. Recently, it was reported that examination of the activation of the downstream protein of EGFR is useful in the same way as the EGFR mutation. Therefore the purpose of the present paper was to determine whether activation of Akt and Erk, which are downstream proteins, and the...
