Identification of Biomarkers in Human Head and Neck Tumor Cell Lines That Predict For <i>In Vitro</i> Sensitivity to Gefitinib
8 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Potential biomarkers were identified for in vitro sensitivity to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib in head and neck cancer. Gefitinib sensitivity was determined in cell lines, followed by transcript profiling coupled with a novel pathway analysis approach. Eleven cell lines were highly sensitive to gefitinib (inhibitor concentration required to give 50% growth...
