Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are used as a treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer. There have been some reports of EGFR-TKIs being associated with vascular adverse events. We found that EGFR-TKIs decreased the proliferation of HMEC-1s (immortalized human dermal microvascular endothelial cells) and HMVECs (human dermal microvascular endothelial cells), and also...
