Correction: In Vitro Drug Sensitivity Tests to Predict Molecular Target Drug Responses in Surgically Resected Lung Cancer
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors have dramatically changed the strategy of medical treatment of lung cancer. Patients should be screened for the presence of the EGFR mutation or echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK fusion gene prior to chemotherapy to predict their clinical r...
متن کاملSignatures of Drug Sensitivity in Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer
We profiled receptor tyrosine kinase pathway activation and key gene mutations in eight human lung tumor cell lines and 50 human lung tumor tissue samples to define molecular pathways. A panel of eight kinase inhibitors was used to determine whether blocking pathway activation affected the tumor cell growth. The HER1 pathway in HER1 mutant cell lines HCC827 and H1975 were found to be highly act...
متن کاملAdjuvant chemotherapy for surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer.
Despite surgical resection, patients with early-stage (I to IIIA) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are at considerable risk of recurrence and death from their lung cancer. In recent years, multiple, large, randomized trials assessing the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for resected NSCLC have been reported. Three of 6 trials with 300 or more patients with early-stage NSCLC have demonstrated...
متن کاملNonimmediate Drug Reactions: In Vitro Tests
Nonimmediate drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are diffi cult to manage in daily clinical practice, mainly owing to their heterogeneous clinical manifestations and the lack of selective biological markers. In vitro methods are necessary to establish a diagnosis, especially given the low sensitivity of skin tests and the inherent risks of drug provocation testing. In vitro evaluation of non...
متن کاملDrug resistance in lung cancer.
Resistance to chemotherapy drugs is a major problem in cancer treatment. Scientific advances made in the last two decades have resulted in the identification of genes and molecular signaling mechanisms that contribute to drug resistance. This has resulted in a better understanding of the biology of cancer cells and the way these cells adapt or undergo subtle molecular changes thereby protecting...
