BACKGROUND: Clinical trials combining epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not produced a survival advantage. This may be caused by antagonism between the two drugs or mutations that promote such, possibly RAS mutation. Furthermore, ERK, a critical growth regulator downstream of RAS, may play a role. This study aimed to...
