Abstract: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase is over-expressed in numerous human tumors, which plays pivotal roles in cellular signal transduction, and it is involved in a variety of tumor cellular behaviors such as proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis and so on.Many investigations have indicated that tumor growth can be suppressed by inhibiting EGFR tyrosine kinase activity.Currently, several EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors are in clinical trial stage.

Key words: phacology, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), tyrosine kinase inhibitors, cancer therapy, clinical trial
