Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations have been proven to be a reliable predictive marker for the response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the responses to EGFR-TKIs vary even among patients with EGFR mutation. Recent study showed that survivin overexpression attenuated EGFR-TKI-induced apoptosis and inhibited the antitumor...
