Abstract
Purpose: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) might be a suitable immunotherapeutic target in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our approach consists of active immunotherapy with EGF. The aim of the study is to characterize the humoral response and its effects on signal transduction in relation with the clinical outcome.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
