EGFR and non-small cell lung carcinoma: The employment of RTK inhibitors as therapeutic agents has been a major breakthrough in the treatment of cancers such as melanoma (BCR-ABL, KIT, PDGFR), breast cancer (Herceptin 2: HER2), colorectal cancer (EGFR, VEGF) and non-small cell lung cancer (EGFR) [129], and, to-date, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved 26 kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment, of which 8 are TK inhibitors [130].
