“…In other words, EGFR is a transmembrane protein that plays a pivotal role in angiogenesis, cell signaling, and cell proliferation mechanisms [11]. Therefore, inhibition of the EGFR receptor leads to a cellular imbalance that may cause disturbance in the differentiation, proliferation, and growth of cancer cells [12]. Overexpression of EGFR has been reported in 60% of lung cancer patients, 58% of large cell carcinoma patients, 43% of breast cancer patients, 39% of adenocarcinoma patients, 38% of squamous cell carcinoma patients, and to some extent in prostate, colon, urinary bladder, melanoma, kidney, nasopharynx, leukemia, pancreas, and thyroid cancer cells [13].…”
