The Fibroblast growth factor receptors 3-transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 (FGFR3-TACC3, F3-T3) oncogenic fusion gene, identified in malignant tumors such as gliomas and bladder cancer, has been particularly noted in recurrent gliomas where it is considered to drive malignant progression, thus presenting itself as a viable therapeutic target. Here, FGFR3 is linked to urinary bladder cancer.
