THE IRESSA/LUNG CANCER STORY. I.
• Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major cause of death in many countries
• NSCLC over-express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in 40-80% of cases
• Gefitinib (Iressa) is an inhibitor of the TyrKin activity of EGFR
(From Lynch et al., NEJM 350:2129,2004)
Response to Gefitinib in a Patient with Refractory Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
(From Lynch et al., NEJM 350:2129,2004)
THE IRESSA/LUNG CANCER STORY. II.
• In a study at Mass General Hospital 25 out of 275 patients had an impressive clinical response to gefitinib
• In 8 out of 9 responders in whom the EGFR gene was sequenced a somatic mutation was found within the kinase domain
• No mutations were found in 7 out of 7 non-responders(From Lynch et al., NEJM 350:2129,2004)
