Identifying erlotinib-sensitive non-small cell lung carcinoma tumors in mice using [11C]erlotinib PET
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC4385014
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive
Justification: Oncogenic: The L858R and T790M mutations in the EGFR gene are associated with altered sensitivity to erlotinib, indicating their role in promoting cancer cell proliferation and resistance to treatment. Predictive: The presence of the L858R and T790M mutations in NSCLC cell lines correlates with varying sensitivity to erlotinib, suggesting that these mutations can predict the response to this targeted therapy.
