Combined targeting of HER-2 and HER-3 represents a promising therapeutic strategy in colorectal cancer

Abrogation of growth factor-dependent signaling represents an effective therapeutic strategy for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we evaluated the effectiveness of targeting the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors HER-2 and HER-3 in the three cell lines LS513, LS1034 and SW837.
