Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutations are frequent in superficial urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). Ras gene mutations are also found in UCC. As oncogenic activation of both FGFR3 and Ras is predicted to result in stimulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, we hypothesized that these might be mutually exclusive events. HRAS mutation has been widely studied in UCC, but all...
