EGFR as a Target for Glioblastoma Treatment: An Unfulfilled Promise
The receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGFR) is a prime target for cancer therapy across a broad variety of tumor types.

However, despite the long-known enigmatic EGFR gene amplification and...
متن کاملPharmacogenetic Testing-An Unfulfilled Promise.
The Human Genome Project heralded great hope that the clinical use of individual genetic information would result in improved care through treatments tailored to an individual patient’s genotype. Such treatment would presumably reveal individual susceptibility to chronic diseases, thus preventing them, and lead to targeted pharmacotherapies based on an individual’s metabolism and susceptibility...
متن کاملGene-based urinary biomarkers for bladder cancer: an unfulfilled promise?
OBJECTIVE Noninvasive biomarkers are used routinely in the clinical management of several cancers but bladder cancer detection and surveillance remains dependent on invasive procedures such as cystoscopy. No validated biomarker currently exists in routine clinical practice other than cytology. Gene-based testing has shown great promise for biomarker profiling and this review addresses the curre...
متن کاملEmotional intelligence: A promise unfulfilled?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a relatively new construct in differential psychology. Proponents of EI have made strong claims for its importance in basic and applied psychology. This article considers whether the promise of EI has been fulfilled. We examine various fundamental challenges to establishing EI as a major individual differences factor, including cross-cultural issues. We then exami...

After failure of initial external defibrillation, restoration of spontaneous circulation is largely contingent on rapid and effective reversal of myocardial ischemia by both mechanical and pharmacologic means. Despite the introduction of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) more than 35 years ago, its universal acceptance, and its wide implementation, no improvements in outcome excepting ...
