Abstract
El cáncer de pulmón es el tipo de tumor responsable del mayor número de muertes asociadas a cáncer en el mundo. El cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (CPNM) es el subtipo mayoritario y se caracteriza por un número relevante de alteraciones en genes conductores. Estas han dado lugar al desarrollo de terapias dirigidas a tales alteraciones moleculares y constituyen la base de la paradigmática y exitosa medicina de precisión en este contexto. Uno de los genes frecuentemente alterado, bien por mutación, amplificación y/o sobreexpresión, en el CPNM, es el gen de FGFR1. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha, los inhibidores de FGFR han demostrado limitada eficacia en la clínica con tasas de respuesta en el rango del 5-10 %. Es preciso, por tanto, la identificación y validación preclínica de biomarcadores predictivos que permitan identificar correctamente a los potenciales beneficiarios de esta terapia...
Lung cancer is the type of tumor responsible for the highest number of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant subtype characterized by a significant number of driver gene alterations. These have led to the development of therapies targeting such molecular alterations, forming the basis of the paradigmatic precision medicine successfully applied in this context. One of the genes frequently altered in NSCLC, either by mutation, amplification, and/or overexpression, is the FGFR1 gene. However, to date, FGFR inhibitors have demonstrated limited efficacy in the clinic with response rates in the range of 5-10 %. Therefore, the identification and preclinical validation of predictive biomarkers are necessary to identify potential beneficiaries of this therapy correctly...
