Abstract excerpt
KRAS is frequently mutated in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in the activation of the MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK)/ERK pathway. High-throughput mutation profile has shown that lung cancer frequently harbors comutation of cancer-related genes. Therefore, given that cancer cells have multiple genetic alterations, combinatorial therapeutic strategy is demanded for effective cancer therapy. To address this, we...
