Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mesenchymal status is related to "inherent resistance" to gefitinib or erlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutations. In addition, a recent report showed that the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a role in acquired resistance to gefitinib in A549 cells, which harbor a KRAS mutation. However, recent clinical studies revealed that...
