ABSTRACT
In this review, we revisit the pivotal role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) in bladder cancer (BLCA), underscoring its prevalence in both non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive forms of the disease. FGFR3 mutations in up to half of BLCAs play a well-established role in tumorigenesis, shaping distinct tumor initiation patterns and impacting the tumor microenvironment (TME). Emphasizing the importance of considering epithelial-mesenchymal transition profile and TME status, we revisit their relevance in predicting responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors in FGFR3-mutated BLCAs. This writing highlights the initially promising yet transient efficacy of the FGFR inhibitor Erdafitinib on FGFR3-mutated BLCA, stressing the pressing need to unravel resistance mechanisms and identify co-targets for future combinatorial studies. A thorough analysis of recent preclinical and clinical evidence reveals resistance mechanisms, including secondary mutations, epigenetic alterations in pathway effectors, phenotypic heterogeneity, and population-specific variations within FGFR3 mutational status. Lastly, we discuss the potential of combinatorial treatments and concepts like synthetic lethality for discovering more effective targeted therapies against FGFR3-mutated BLCA.
