Abstract
Purpose/Objective: NSCLC commonly overexpresses EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and preclinical model systems demonstrate radiosensitization following molecular inhibition of EGFR signaling. Gefitinib (Iressa) is a small molecule selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. HRT allows for a shorter RT course and a potentially improved local tumor control. We report toxicity in an ongoing Phase I trial of gefitinib and dose-escalated HRT in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC.
