Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), using a tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as gefitinib, was suggested to be a new treatment approach for neuroblastoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: EGFR expression and gene mutation were studied by reversetranscriptase-polxmerase chain reacting, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and gene sequencing in six neuroblastoma cell lines. In vitro...
