Altered Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in Glioma
EGFR is a key molecule in cancer cells. EGFR signaling was shown to promote tumor cell proliferation and survival, invasion and angiogenesis and mediate resistance to treatment, including ionizing radiation in preclinical models. We extracted proteins from astrocytoma (III and IV) oligodendroglioma(IV) tumors and normal brain tissues and then evaluated the protein purity by Bradford test ...
متن کاملAssessment of epidermal growth factor receptor status in glioblastomas
Objective(s): Our previous study showed that a newly designed tracer radioiodinated 6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)-7-ethoxy-4-(3'-iodophenoxy)quinazoline ([125I]PYK) is promising for the evaluation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and prediction of gefitinib treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR is over-expressed and mutated also in glioblastoma. In the present study, the ...
متن کاملhuman epidermal growth factor receptor expression in colorectal cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics
background: some recent studies reported human epidermal growth factor receptor (her-2/neu) as a marker that can be used in immunological studies of colorectal carcinoma for predicting the prognosis and the treatment. therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of her-2 expression in patients with colorectal cancer, and explore the relationship between clinicopathological prognostic factor...
متن کاملBreast Carcinoma; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) and Grading Correlation
Introduction: Overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) is one of the most important prognostic and predictive factors of breast cancer, observed in 25% - 30% of breast carcinoma patients leading to poor prognosis and feasible anti HER-2 antibody drugs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the HER-2 frequency in target population and its correlat...
متن کاملHuman Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Family (HER) in Gastric Cancer
The epidermal growth factor receptor family consists of four members with similar structures: HER1/erbB1, HER2/erbB2, HER3/erbB3 and HER4/erbB4. The genes encoded for Erb are proto-oncogenes, or precursor genes, which under normal conditions are present in all cells of an organism. Proto-oncogenes can be activated in several ways, most often it is through structural changes of the cell genome s...
