What are Some Common Types of Cancer Cell Receptors?
Some well-known cancer cell receptors include:
HER2 - Commonly overexpressed in breast and gastric cancers. EGFR - Frequently mutated in non-small cell lung cancer. VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor) - Plays a role in angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, which supplies tumors with nutrients and oxygen. PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) - An immune checkpoint receptor that, when activated, allows cancer cells to evade the immune system.
