Cytoplasmic Expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-4 in Human Pituitary Adenomas: Relation to Tumor Type, Size, Proliferation, and Invasiveness
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas remains unknown. A pituitary tumor-derived (ptd) isoform of fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (ptd-FGFR4) has been implicated in the neoplastic process. To further understand the expression of FGFR4 in sporadic human pituitary adenomas, we studied 137 pituitary adenomas of various types (102 adenomas from Japanese patients and 35 adenomas from Canadian patients) and 10...
