“…EGFR is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) whose activation by ligand binding (such as EGF, amphiregulin, TGFa) contributes to cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. EGFR activation and signaling are leading causes of malignancy in many types of cancer such as breast, lung, metastatic colorectal, head and neck, ovarian, and brain cancers (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Notably, in breast cancers, EGFR is expressed by triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) or basal-like breast cancers, which are highly aggressive cancers with a high rate of early-occurring lung and brain metastasis.…”
