LID - 10.1172/JCI174171 [doi] LID - e174171 AB - Although subsets of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) benefit from immunotherapy, there are few effective molecularly targeted treatments for LSCC. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors provide a therapeutic option for patients with LSCC harboring FGFR aberrations, but their therapeutic efficacy has been limited to date. In this issue of the JCI, Malchers et al. identified tail-to-tail rearrangements, either within or near FGFR1, that are associated with FGFR1 dependency and sensitivity to FGFR inhibition in LSCC. These results may help improve the selection of patients with LSCC who are most likely to benefit from treatment with FGFR inhibitors.
