Disease: Brain Neoplasms
Brain Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Autocrine and paracrine factors, including glutamate and epidermal growth factor (EGF), are potent inducers of brain tumor cell invasion, a pathological hallmark of malignant gliomas. 30298963 2018

Disease: Brain Neoplasms
Brain Neoplasms
0.100 GeneticVariation group BEFREE PKM2-regulated MLC2 phosphorylation, which is greatly enhanced by EGF stimulation or EGFRvIII, K-Ras G12V and B-Raf V600E mutant expression, plays a pivotal role in cytokinesis, cell proliferation and brain tumour development. 25412762 2014

Disease: Brain Neoplasms
Brain Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Here, we show the first example of this alternate mechanism in brain tumors by showing that EGF receptor (EGFR)-mutant glioblastomas (GBMs) evade EGFR TKIs by transcriptionally de-repressing platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ). 23533263 2013

Disease: Brain Neoplasms
Brain Neoplasms
0.100 GeneticVariation group BEFREE One prominent molecular abnormality discovered in these astrocytic brain tumors is alteration of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) through gene amplification and/or mutation resulting in excessive signaling from this receptor. 17616668 2007
