Erlotinib Therapy and Subsequent Development of Mechanisms of Secondary Resistance in Patients With NSCLC

Summary

Erlotinib is a drug which targets non small cell lung cancer with a genetic change (mutation) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that Erlotinib can control the growth of these cancer cells.
