Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of lung cancer. The inventors showed that FHIT (also known as bis(5-adenosyl)-triphosphatase) regulates HER2 activity in lung tumor cells and that HER2 inhibitors reduce invasion induced by FHIT inhibition. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of treating lung cancer in a patient in need thereof comprising the steps of i) determining the expression level of FHIT in a tumor tissue sample obtained from the patient, ii) comparing the expression level determined at step i) with a predetermined reference value and iii) administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of at least one HER2 inhibitor when the expression level determined at step i) is lower than the predetermined reference level.
