Abstract excerpt
Acquired resistance develops ultimately in most non-small-cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations who initially respond to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) contributes to a considerable part of acquired resistance. Therefore, novel approaches are required for better management to overcome the resistance. Here, we tested...
