  A post-cell-removal surface morphology (PCRSM) profiling technique was used to identify the effects of targeted anticancer medicines on cancer cells. Living non-small lung cancer cells, A549 and H1299, were cultivated on a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APTES) coated silicon wafer surface with and without targeted anticancer medicine added in the culture medium. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to examine the surface morphology profile on the γ-APTES wafer surface after removing the cells. Two different targeted anticancer medicines, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-inhibitor Iressa (gefitinib) and protein kinase c (PKC)-inhibitor Staurosporine were examined. Our experimental results show that only the cancer cells treated with Staurosporine can have the PCRSM profiles resemble to those of normal cells, whereas those treated with Iressa reserve the PCRSM prof..
