Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a type of cancer with few effective systemic therapies. Elucidation of the molecular landscape of the disease from genomic studies based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) has contributed to the introduction of new targeted therapies. One of these treatments consists of a class of small molecules that target members of the fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. We report here on a patient with a cholangiocarcinoma bearing an FGFR2 mutation. The patient was treated with 2 different FGFR inhibitors, as the first caused ocular toxicity. She obtained clinical benefits from both. This case illustrates the efficacy of FGFR inhibitors on cholangiocarcinoma with specific point mutations.
期刊介绍:
The Oncologist® is dedicated to translating the latest research developments into the best multidimensional care for cancer patients. Thus, The Oncologist is committed to helping physicians excel in this ever-expanding environment through the publication of timely reviews, original studies, and commentaries on important developments. We believe that the practice of oncology requires both an understanding of a range of disciplines encompassing basic science related to cancer, translational research, and clinical practice, but also the socioeconomic and psychosocial factors that determine access to care and quality of life and function following cancer treatment.
