Gefitinib radiosensitizes non-small cell lung cancer cells through inhibition of ataxia telangiectasia mutated
23 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have shown dramatic results in a subset of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and have also been shown to enhance the effect of ionizing radiation (IR). We investigated how gefitinib, an orally given EGFR inhibitor for NSCLC patients, can radiosensitize NSCLC cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND RESULTS: In clonogenic survival assays...
