Recently, Olivier E. Pardo et al. reported that the selective fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor PD173074 blocks the proliferation and clonogenic growth of two small cell lung cancer cell lines (H69 and H510) in a dose-dependent manner and prevents FGF-2-induced chemoresistance. The gene discussed is FGF2; the disease is small cell lung carcinoma.
