Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) usually show sensitivity to first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), most patients relapse because of drug resistance. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) has been reported to be involved in the resistance of EGFR-TKIs, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we explore the...
