Antitumor Activity of Combined Blockade of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and Protein Kinase A

Abstract

Since these inhibitors of intracellular mitogenic (growth-stimulating) signaling have a different mechanism(s) of action and do not antagonize the effects of cytotoxic therapy, a combination of anti-EGFR MAb C225 and 8-Cl-cAMP should be investigated as a nontoxic, long-term treatment for cancer patients following chemotherapy.
