Targeting of two aspects of metabolism in breast cancer treatment.

abstract：:Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, are the first targeted therapy drugs approved for the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Interestingly, treatment with these small molecule, reversible EGFR-TKIs leads to more positive respo...
