Targeting Hsp90 prevents escape of breast cancer cells from tyrosine kinase inhibition
15 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified development of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) as a significant roadblock to effective treatment. One mechanism of resistance recently appreciated involves 'oncogene switching', or the re-activation of signaling pathways by one or more redundant upstream activators. In breast cancer models, ErbB TKIs such as gefitinib have been shown to lose the ability to modulate...
