Combination of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction and erlotinib delays growth and improves sensitivity of EGFR‑mutated NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo via STAT3/Bcl‑2 signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is widely used in the treatment of non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, erlotinib resistance leads to high mortality in patients with NSCLC, while the activation of STAT3 is closely related to erlotinib resistance. Studies have shown that the main components of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD) have antitumor effects....
