1 A Pilot Study of Preoperative Gefitinib for Early-Stage Lung Cancer to Assess Intratumor Drug Concentration and Pathways Mediating Primary Resistance  Eric B. Haura, MD, Eric Sommers, MD, Lanxi Song, BS, Alberto Chiappori, MD, Aaron Becker, RN  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 5, Issue 11, Pages (November 2010) DOI: /JTO.0b013e3181f38f70 Copyright © 2010 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 Efficacy. A, CT response. Changes in RECIST measured tumor size (sum of longest tumor diameters) after treatment is plotted for each patient. B, PET response. Changes in SUVmax after treatment is plotted for each patient. Patient order is identical to that in (A). CT, computerized tomography; PET, positron emission tomography; SUVmax, standardized uptake value for the voxel with maximal FDG uptake; RECIST, response evaluation criteria in solid tumors.

3 FIGURE 2 Signaling molecule activation. Tumor tissue taken at the time of surgery was evaluated for indicated markers. Lung cancer cell lines were treated with 5 μM of gefitinib for 3 hours and used as controls along with kit-provided controls. G indicates exposure to gefitinib. (A) tyrosine-phosphorylated EGFR; (B) tyrosine-phosphorylated (Y705) STAT3l; (C) phosphorylated ERK; (D) phosphorylated AKT; and (E) Western blotting of select cells and tumor specimens. Patients 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to same patients as in panels A to D; + indicates exposure to gefitinib, − indicates control cells. EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor.
