Lung Cancer: Molecular Scissors Determine Therapy Effectiveness

Metastasizing cancer cells use a kind of molecular scissors to cut a trail for the cancer when it invades surrounding tissue. Scientists have now shown that this cutting tool, called u-PAR, might be an indicator of therapy effectiveness in non-small cell lung cancer: the more u-PAR tumor cells produce, the less the anti-cancer drug cetuximab is effective.
