Developments in epidermal growth factor receptor-targeting therapy for solid tumors: focus on matuzumab (EMD 72000).

abstract：:The response rate (RR) to single-agent chemotherapy with doxorubicin or ifosfamide in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is in the range of 20%. Paclitaxel is clinically useful in treating several solid tumors and has demonstrated activity in a series of human sarcoma cell lines. Twenty-eight patients wi...

abstract：:CD147 is highly expressed on many tumor cells; its role for tumor invasiveness and metastasis has been deduced from its capacity to induce MMPs, i.e., MMP-1, -2, -3, and -9. However, in the murine B16 melanoma model, MMP-2/-9 expression occurs independent of CD147. To scrutinize the impact of CD147 on metastasis forma...
