FGFR3, a marker suggestive of favorable prognosis in urothelial carcinoma

In conclusion, high expression of FGFR3 in urothelial carcinomas with statistically significant relationships regarding its expression levels with parameters of favorable prognosis like low grade and pTa stage, presence of papillary architecture, and lower-stage urothelial carcinomas rai sed the probability that FGFR3 expression may have a role in early development of urothelial neoplasia. Further studies are required to investigate the applicability of FGFR3-targeted agents as an additional treatment regimen in patients with FGFR3 overexpression.
