Recent work has shown that fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) promotes invasion of bladder cancer cells expressing ZEB1, a marker of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)[6]; FGFR inhibition in this study reduced metastatic spread of orthotopically implanted bladder cancer cells. The gene discussed is FGFR1; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
