>>But maybe those that said that combining an EGFR drug that halts cells in the G1 phase doesn't make sense when combined with a chemo drug that requires that the cell be in another phase (S or M) for efficacy.>>

I have never fully understood that argument. Maybe because of my ignorance. But my concern with the theory is that, as the cancer evidently advances, there must be a fair number of cancer cells that manages to complete the full loop. Why is their progress not halted by Iressa/Tarceva and/or the chemo used.
