FGF2 and neoplasm: Analysis of the relationship between bFGF level and tumor sensitivity to the antiproliferation effect in tumor subgroups revealed significantly better correlations (i.e., higher r2 values) in stage III-IV, p53-positive and aFGF-negative tumors, and tumors with higher-than-median bFGF level (Figures 3 and 4), compared to low stage (I-II), p53-negative, aFGF-positive, and low bFGF tumors.
