miR-216b Targets FGFR1 and Confers Sensitivity to Radiotherapy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients Without EGFR or KRAS Mutation

Abstract

Further studies and validations are required; in the tumors of patients with PDAC without activating mutations and induced expression of EGFR/KRAS genes, down-regulated miR-216b expression may be associated with a poor response to radiotherapy via deregulation of another signaling pathway related to FGFR1 signaling.
