Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To understand the molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer and to establish a novel therapeutic application, we examined the genetic alterations in lung cancer, and studied the effects of gefitinib and siRNA-mediated knockdown of EGFR on lung cancer. METHODS: We analyzed mutations in EGFR, KRAS, TP53, and ERBB2 in 198 surgically resected lung cancer specimens. We then analyzed the effects of gefitinib and...
