Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Cancer

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play a critical role in a variety of cellular processes including growth, differentiation, motility, and metabolism. RTKs are frequently overexpressed and their aberrant signalling is associated with various diseases including cancer. Thus, RTKs have become one of the most important druggable targets for the treatment of cancer. The emergence of small kinase inhibi...
