Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in molecular biology have led to the identification of new molecular targets, such as epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations and echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) - anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene, in lung cancer. Dramatic response has been achieved with EGFR inhibitors (gefitinib and erlotinib) and an ALK inhibitor (crizotinib) in lung cancer...
