Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) belongs to the FGFR family, which plays an important role in cell growth, invasiveness, motility and angiogenesis. In human breast cancer, expression of FGFR2 is estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent and correlates with a lower rate of apoptosis. Recently, w...
