Preclinical activity of gefitinib in non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines and biomarkers of response
14 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
This study evaluated the preclinical activity and molecular predictors of response to gefitinib (Iressa(R), Astra Zeneca Inc, UK) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The activity of gefitinib was evaluated in four human NPC cell lines--HK1, HONE-1, CNE2, C666-1. A representative gefitinib-sensitive (HK1, IC(50) = 250 nM) and gefitinib-resistant cell line (HONE-1, IC(50) > 15 microM) were selected and compared for...
