Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase domain is strongly associated with clinical response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Despite an initial encouraging response, patients eventually develop drug resistance and relapse. Great efforts have been made to identify the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance. With the recognition of cancer as a whole complex...
