Abstract

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a c-Met ligand involved in cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis, mediates resistance to radiation and drives resistance to ErbB1 inhibitors such as erlotinib. Here we tested whether plasma HGF levels correlate with outcomes after definitive radiation for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and evaluated the role of HGF in radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells with high or low c-Met expression.
