This review will cover the role of the fibroblast growth factor pathway in the pathogenesis, targeted therapy potential and prognostic value in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Recent studies that have identified fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusions, prognostic implications of FGFR2 fusions, treatment strategies that target FGFR2 in CCA and future directions for understanding and targeting the FGFR2 pathway in this disease, will be discussed.
Understanding the role of the FGFR2 pathway as a disease pathogenetic mechanism and the ability to develop targeted therapies and diagnostics surrounding this concept are critical elements toward developing novel targeted approaches in CCA.
本综述将涵盖成纤维细胞生长因子通路在胆管癌(CCA)患者发病机制、靶向治疗潜力及预后价值中的作用。
将讨论近期已鉴定出成纤维细胞生长因子受体2(FGFR2)融合、FGFR2融合的预后意义、CCA中靶向FGFR2的治疗策略以及理解和靶向该疾病中FGFR2通路的未来方向。
了解FGFR2通路作为疾病致病机制的作用以及围绕这一概念开发靶向治疗和诊断方法的能力,是在CCA中开发新型靶向方法的关键要素。
