摘要: Malignant gliomas are frequently characterized by amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and loss PTEN tumor suppressor gene. Twenty-eight heavily pretreated patients with recurrent malignant were administered EGFR inhibitors (gefitinib or erlotinib) in combination mTOR (mammalian target rapamycin) inhibitor sirolimus. The regimens reasonably well tolerated. Nineteen percent experienced a partial response 50% had stable disease. Six-month progression-free survival for glioblastoma was 25%.
