EGF receptor activation by heterologous mechanisms

Cancer Cell. 2002 Jun;1(5):405-6. doi: 10.1016/s1535-6108(02)00076-4.

Abstract

A myriad of growth factor-dependent and -independent mechanisms for activating the EGF receptor and the related ErbB receptors underscore the importance of receptor inhibitors in the treatment of some solid tumors.
