- Previous surgery is permitted provided that wound healing has occurred prior to
registration;

- Adequate hematopoietic, hepatic and renal function defined as follows: ANC >= 1.5 x
10^9/L, platelets >= 100 x 10^9/L, bilirubin <= 1.5 x ULN, ALT <= 2.5 x ULN (or 5 x
ULN in case of liver metastases), creatinine <= 1.5 x ULN;

- No prior treatment with Tarceva or gefitinib (or other drug with significant activity
against EGFR (eg, cetuximab and/or ZD6474));
