Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR/HER1) is overexpressed in human pancreatic cancers. However, anti-EGFR therapy does not exhibit significant therapeutic activity with oncogenic K-ras mutation. We sought to assess the signaling relationship between EGFR and mutant K-ras, which is commonly detected in pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Pancreatic cancer cells harboring mutated K-ras were treated...
