Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are key drugs in cancer treatment due to their minor adverse effects and outstanding anticancer effects. However, drugs for overcoming EGFR-TKI resistance are not in clinical use so far. Therefore, to overcome resistance, we foc...
