Prolonged cetuximab treatment promotes p27Kip1-mediated G1 arrest and autophagy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Cetuximab, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody, is an efficient anti-tumor therapeutic agent that inhibits the activation of EGFR; however, data related to the cellular effects of prolonged cetuximab treatment are limited. In this study, the long-term cellula...
