Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The number of patients dying for lung cancer remains increasing worldwide. The main therapy for lung cancer is chemotherapy but since demonstration of the therapeutic efficacy of epithelial growth factor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor several clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of molecular targeted therapy. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor is very effective against non-small cells lung cancer but within one year, most tumors acquire resistance. In the present study, we developed a new model of non-small cell lung cancer caused by EGFR gene mutations (L858R + T790M) and showed the usefulness of measuring several parameters as biomarkers to monitor response to therapy. We are currently using this mouse model and biomarkers to evaluate novel therapies using siRNA against various transcription factors.
