<b>Introduction</b>: Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).However, specific patient groups (e.g. patients with activating <i>epidermal growth factor receptor</i> [<i>EGFR]</i> mutations) do not appear to derive benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy.
The efficacy of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) inhibitors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer (PC), or colorectal cancer (CRC) has been demonstrated.
Afatinib (Afa), a second-generation irreversible epidermal growth factor inhibitor for the development of non-small cell lung cancer, has low bioavailability and adverse reactions.
EGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been widely used as a standard therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations.
Small molecule Tyrosine Kinase (TK) Inhibitors acting on the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors (EGFRs) are standard therapies for patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR-TK inhibitor-sensitizing mutations.
Lung cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, the most common histological type of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whose occurrence and development is closely related to the mutation and amplification of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR).
This study investigated the clinical significance of epidermal growth factor in exhaled breath condensate and serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Several targeted therapies-such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting epidermal growth factor receptors and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-are active in NSCLC and have data to suggested possible effectiveness against brain metastases in these patients.
The aim of the present study was to improve the detection of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) and cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53) mutations in liquid biopsies from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by combining plasma, sputum and urine samples under the same sequencing platform.
The identification of the epidermal growth factor mutation (EGFR) is a positive prognostic factor for survival and therapeutic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
While targeted therapies have redefined treatment options for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with genetic aberrations such as epidermal growth factor and anaplastic lymphoma kinase, many patients do not harbour these oncogenic drivers.
Bee venom inhibited EGF-induced F-actin reorganization and cell invasion, and suppressed EGF-induced EMT, processes associated with tumor metastasis in NSCLC.
To monitor therapies targeted to epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we investigated Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) as a biomarker of response to anti-EGFR agents.
The inhibitors for EGF receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TKIs) such as gefitinib have been used as a standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the increasingly occurrence of drug resistance, the associated adverse effects and the enrichment of cancer stem cells significantly impedes its clinical application.
The development of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) specific for epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) with activating mutations has led to a new paradigm in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Immunization against epidermal growth factor (EGF) has shown efficacy in a phase III trial including unselected NSCLC patients, but little was known about the mechanisms involved in the effects of the anti-EGF antibodies generated by vaccination (anti-EGF VacAbs) or their activity in tumor cells with EGFR mutations.
Choroidal metastasis from non-small-cell lung cancer responsive to Osimertinib: a case report : Efficacy of a third-generation epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
To investigate the role of conventional radiotherapy (RT) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with epidermal growth factor (EGFR)-mutant or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
