By analyzing murine and human pancreatic tissue specimens, Tonelli and colleagues found that compared with normal tissue, FGFR2 expression was higher in KRAS-mutated precancerous lesions and some KRAS ...
Bottom line: Precancerous pancreatic lesions and some pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors harboring KRAS mutations had higher-than-normal expression of the FGFR2 protein, and FGFR2 ...
For years, developing selective FGFE2/3 inhibitors has been hindered by the extreme structural similarity among FGFR family members, leading to toxicities and resistance with current therapies.
Bottom Line: Precancerous pancreatic lesions and some pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors harboring KRAS mutations had higher-than-normal expression of the FGFR2 protein, and FGFR2 ...
