Abstract excerpt
The VEGF pathway has been recognized as a key mediator of angiogenesis to support tumorigenesis. Multiple therapeutic agents targeting VEGF and VEGF receptors have been developed and approved for use in NSCLCs. Preclinical studies have found that the VEGF and EGFR pathways share common downstream signaling, and these pathways can function exclusively of one another during oncogenesis. In EGFR-mutant NSCLCs,...
