Several studies have implicated that overexpression of FGFR1β is associated with tumorigenesis and poor survival in multiple tumors [15, 17–19], while FGFR1α, on the other hand, governs cell differentiation in normal tissues [15, 20, 21], suggesting that the two FGFR1 variants have different effects on cancer cells [19, 20]. This evidence concerns the gene FGFR1 and cancer.
