MET Amplification Leads to Gefitinib Resistance in Lung Cancer by Activating ERBB3 Signaling

…, X Zhao, J Christensen, T Kosaka, AJ Holmes… - science, 2007 - science.org
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib are
effective treatments for lung cancers with EGFR activating mutations, but these tumors invariably …

EML4-ALK Fusion Gene and Efficacy of an ALK Kinase Inhibitor in Lung Cancer

…, C Murphy, E Lifshits, AJ Holmes, HG Choi, J Kim… - Clinical cancer …, 2008 - AACR
Purpose: The EML4-ALK fusion gene has been detected in ∼7% of Japanese non-small cell
