Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family is reportedly overexpressed in bladder cancer, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been suggested as treatment. Gefitinib (Iressa®) is a selective inhibitor of the EGFR and lapatinib is a dual inhibitor of both the EGFR and HER2 (human EGFR type 2 receptor). Both compounds compete with the binding of ATP to the tyrosine kinase domain of the respective...
