BIOMARKERS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING SENSITIVITY TO EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR MODULATORS IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

摘要

EGFR biomarkers useful in a method for identifying a mammal that will respon d therapeutically to a method of treating cancer comprising administering an EGFR modulator, wherein the method comprises (a) exposing a biological sampl e from the mammal to the EGFR modulator and (b) measuring in the biological sample the level of the at least one biomarker, wherein a difference in the level of the at least one biomarker measured in (b) compared to the level of the biomarker in a mammal that has not been exposed to the EGFR modulator indicates that the mammal will respond therapeutically to the method of treating cancer.
