摘要: Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling is a vital component of both embryonic and postnatal mammary gland development, which has prompted researchers to investigate its relevance breast cancer potential as therapeutic target. Deregulated FGFR during occurs through various mechanisms, including amplification the genes, aberrant ligand expression, mutations translocations. Recent experimental outcomes involving animal models human cell lines have led initiation multiple early clinical trials investigating safety efficacy small molecule inhibitors. In this article we review most recent discoveries need for further investigation mechanisms FGF/FGFR emerged an oncogenic driver.
