摘要: Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between HER2 expression and gefitinib (ZD 1839, Iressa; AstraZeneca, London, United Kingdom) efficacy in terms of response rate, time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS) time. Patients Methods: with pretreated advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received at a daily dose 250 mg until disease progression. Tumor tissue specimens obtained primary diagnosis were collected determine HER2/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status by immunohistochemistry. Results: From February 2001 June 2002, 63 consecutive patients enrolled onto study. The control rate was 58.7% (partial [PR], 15.9%; stable [SD], 42.8%), median TTP 3.3 months, OS 4.1 months. Among 43 whom EGFR/HER2 determined, we observed six PRs (14%) 18 SDs (42%). Disease control, including PR SD, 40% 15 overexpressing 64.3% t...
