Increased FGFR1 copy number in lung squamous cell carcinomas
15 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), via activation of its receptor, FGFR1, has been postulated to be an important inducer of host stromal response and angiogenesis. More recently, FGFR1 amplifications were investigated using large-scale single nucleotide polymorphism arrays in lung cancer. We hypothesized that FGFR1 overexpression may be correlated with the clinicopathological features of lung cancers. The...
