FGFR Signaling as a target for lung cancer therapy.

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth  in tissues of the lung . Growth can spread beyond the lung by the process of metastatis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. cancers that start in the lung, known as primary lung cancers, are cancinomas. The most common symptoms are coughing (including coughing up blood), weight loss, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Bladder cancer is histopathologically a heterogeneous group comprising urothelial carcinoma (UC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors (small cell carcinoma). However, recent cluster analysis of whole genome expression data has identified breast cancer-like “basal” and “luminal” types of muscle invasive UC with a distinct. Cystectomy is the main treatment strategy for muscle invasive UC, SCC or mixed UC with squamous differentiation. The value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial, as on the one hand there is evidence to superiority in cases with mixed histopathology and on the other hand the consequent delay of cystectomy in squamous differentiated tumors is associated with poor response rates.
