摘要: Lung cancer continues to be a leading cause of death in the US, and its most advanced stages remains incurable. Cytotoxic chemotherapies have been standard care for treatment unresectable disease. However, recent advances development epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors led way new generation targeted biological agents. During second annual symposium entitled ‘the future lung cancer: translational focus’, which was sponsored by Physician´s Education Resource, strategies were discussed. Besides role EGFR inhibitors, potential targets include angiogenesis pathway; other pathways, such as phosphoinositol-3 kinase/Akt Raf-MEK; 26S proteasome, histone deacetylase mechanism; TNF-related apoptosis-inducing receptors. Agents that are directed against these all varying clinical development. As more is learned about their mechanisms ...
