Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signal transduction pathways are implicated in malignant glioma aggressiveness and promote tumor cell invasion, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Nevertheless, response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib (Iressa, ZD1839) has been disappoint...
