Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Activating point mutations and protein overexpression of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), especially FGFR3, are frequent events in bladder cancer. Little is known about gene amplifications, therefore we characterized amplification of FGFR1-3 by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH). METHODS AND RESULTS: Tumours of 153 patients (n = 65 pTa low-grade, n = 15 pTa high-grade, n = 37 pT1, n = 20...
