Abstract excerpt
<b/>FGFR2 genetic translocations are frequent in cholangiocarcinoma, yet despite initial sensitivity to FGFR inhibitors in clinic, patients quickly become resistant to targeted therapies. The work published by Goyal and colleagues demonstrates that acquisition of gatekeeper mutations in FGFR2 and intratumoral heterogeneity drive resistance in patients with FGFR2-translocated intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which...
