Resistance to receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors in solid tumors: can we improve the cancer fighting strategy by blocking autophagy?
2 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
A growing field of evidence suggests the involvement of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in the transformation of malignant cells. Constitutive and abnormal activation of RTKs may occur in tumors either through hyperactivation of mutated RTKs or via functional upregulation by RTK-coding gene amplification. In several types of cancer prognosis and therapeutic responses were found to be associated with...
