Growth and molecular interactions of the anti-EGFR antibody Cetuximab and the DNA cross-linking agent cisplatin in gefitinib-resistant MDA-MB-468 cells: New prospects in the treatment of triple-negative/basal-like breast cancer

Abstract excerpt

Three prominent hallmarks of triple-negative/basal-like breast carcinomas, a subtype of breast cancer gene phenotype associated with poor relapse-free and overall survival, are overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), hyperactivation of the MEK/ERK transduction pathway and high sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. The cytotoxic interaction between EGFR inhibitors (monoclonal antibodies such...
