Gene mutations dictate Iressa effectiveness in lung cancer
Two Boston research teams identified gene mutations in some lung tumors that respond dramatically to Iressa while most patients see little or no benefit. The finding paves the way for a predictive test to select patients, focusing treatment and reducing exposure to side effects. The mutations arise in the cancer, not inherited, and are linked to higher incidence in Japanese, women, and nonsmokers.
