Lung cell cancers are often associated with genetic changes in the EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway. One of the anti-cancer drugs that can be used to treat lung cancer inactivates the EGFR receptor at the plasma membrane. Which of the following cancers can be effectively treated with this drug? Cancers caused by Ras-GOF mutations Cancers caused by MAPKKK hyperactivation All of the options are correct Cancers caused by MAPK hyperactivation Cancers caused by EGFR over-expression
