Kohei Shitara: New Findings on FGFR2 Isoform Ratios and Prognosis in Gastric and GEJ Cancer

Kohei Shitara, Director of the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at National Cancer Center Hospital East, shared a post on X about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in ESMO Open:

“In a recent report, ESMO Open, we show that a high FGFR2-IIIc to IIIb isoform ratio in gastric/GEJ cancer is associated with poor prognosis, EMT, and progression. Further analysis of the bemarituzumab-treated tumor is needed.”
