Radiation-induced EGFR-signaling and control of DNA-damage repair

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Over the last decade evidence has accumulated indicating that cell membrane-bound growth factor receptor of the erbB family and especially the epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR (erbB1) mediates resistance of tumor cells to both chemo- and radiotherapy when mutated or overexpressed. More recently a novel link between EGFR signaling pathways and DNA repair mechanisms, especially non-homologous end...
