FGF8 and prostate cancer: FGF7 is expressed in normal mucosal gland epithelium and in stromal fibroblasts, and FGF7 protein levels were elevated in gastric inflammation and gastric adenocarcinoma.610 Overexpression of FGF8 in prostate cancer is highly related to the decreased patient survival and persists in androgen-independent disease.611 FGF8, as cell growth regulator, can mediate the tumor suppression effect of Annexin-A7 in prostate tumorigenesis.612FGF9 is expressed in many non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) primary tumors and derived cell lines.
