FGFR3 alterations in bladder cancer

The role of FGFR3 alterations in LA/mUC

FGFR3 alterations are a prevalent potential driver in oncology, with continuous activation of the FGFR signalling pathway driving multiple tumourigenic processes across tumour types.[1][2][3][4] As altered FGFR signalling is common in a wide variety of cancers, FGFR alterations represent an important potential target for treatment.[3]

FGFR3 alterations are most commonly found in UC and have been identified across all grades and/or stages of bladder cancer[3][5]

All in all, the molecular biomarkers and pathways involved in UC are key to understanding its biological heterogeneity and identifying specific subtypes, which may be used to predict treatment outcomes.[6] Therefore, a focus on the distinct molecular subtypes in UC could help you see your individual LA/mUC patients more clearly.[7]

Discuss available biomarkers and related molecular testing options with your pathologist today to better understand your patients’ tumour growth drivers[8][9]
