Targeting EGFR in glioblastoma: lessons from a disappointing journey. A systematic review

EGFR-focused TKIs were largely disappointing as a treatment for GBM. Longstanding issues, including treatment resistance, tumor heterogeneity, and blood-brain barrier penetration persist. Future efforts must focus on tackling these issues, and prioritizing patient selection via biomarkers.

Abstract

EGFR-focused TKIs were largely disappointing as a treatment for GBM. Longstanding issues, including treatment resistance, tumor heterogeneity, and blood-brain barrier penetration persist. Future efforts must focus on tackling these issues, and prioritizing patient selection via biomarkers.
