Abstract excerpt
Targeted cancer therapies impede cancer cell growth by inhibiting the function of activated oncogene products. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer and somatic mutations of EGFR can have a dramatic response to treatment with erlotinib and gefitinib; different somatic mutations are associated with different times to progression and survival. In this study, the relative and absolute potencies of two distinct...
