Aims and objectives of this session Overexpression of peptide growth factors and their receptors have been reported in urothelium cancer. In addition, mutations in growth factor receptors occur and are associated with outcome of the disease. The session will focus on regulation of intracellular signalling, modification of gene expression and possibilities to improve specific targeting in urothelial tumors.
- Poster viewing of 20 minutes. Presentations will take place on stage. Standard presentations are 2 minutes in length, followed by 2 minutes for discussion. Extended presentations (*) are 3 minutes in length, followed by 3 minutes for discussion.
