Cost-effectiveness analysis of rezivertinib and gefitinib in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res)
Threshold analysis established cost-effective pricing thresholds for rezivertinib ($605.02 at 3×GDP per capita, $408.66 at 1.5×GDP per capita). Rezivertinib demonstrates significantly better cost-effectiveness compared to gefitinib for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC in China.

Computational Screening, ADME Study, and Evaluation of Benzothiazole Derivatives as Potential Anticancer Agents. (PubMed, Med Chem)
Compounds 12, 17, 27, 43, 45, and 49 demonstrated strong binding affinities and superior pharmacokinetic profiles compared to Gefitinib and Erlotinib. Overall, benzothiazole derivatives represent a promising scaffold for the design of EGFR inhibitors, potentially contributing to targeted anticancer therapy.

A new oxidative stress-related lncRNA signature predicts the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
High-risk patients were found to be more sensitive to treatment drugs ABT.263, AZD.0530, gefitinib, imatinib, PAC.1, and shikonin. The predictive model we constructed can independently predict the prognosis of patients with CRC. Further experimental validation and mechanistic studies are warranted to elucidate the precise role of OS-related lncRNAs in CRC pathogenesis.

Preclinical evaluation of gefitinib and betulin-loaded surface functionalized liposomes for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma via asialoglycoprotein receptor targeting. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed that both GEF-BET-Lipo and GEF-BET-Lf-Lipo treatments significantly reduced pSTAT3 expression and increased the levels of the apoptotic marker caspase-3. Overall, the findings support the enhanced antitumor potential of GEF-BET-Lf-Lipo against HCC in animals.

The Crosstalk Mechanism of EGFR and ER in EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cells)
Furthermore, coadministration of tamoxifen and the EGFR TKI gefitinib potentially inhibited p-EGFR expression in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. Regular follow-up with chest computed tomography is recommended for patients with breast cancer. For those diagnosed with both ER-positive breast cancer and EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, combined tamoxifen and EGFR TKI therapy may offer an effective targeted treatment strategy.

DNAJB6 as an immuno-oncogenic hub in liver hepatocellular carcinoma: multi-omic profiling reveals prognostic significance and therapeutic vulnerability. (PubMed, J Mol Histol)
Furthermore, we predicted and experimentally confirmed that DNAJB6 silencing conferred gefitinib resistance in HepG2 cells. In conclusion, our findings highlighted the significance of DNAJB6 expression in determining LIHC prognosis and immunotherapy response, as well as its potential in developing novel anti-cancer drugs and enhancing immunotherapy.
