The role of fibroblast growth factor 2 in patients with uterine smooth muscle tumors: an immunohistochemical study

The significant correlation between FGF-2 expression and high histological grade indicates that FGF-2 might work as a negative predictive factor. Higher rates of recurrence disease as well as shortened disease free and overall survival among FGF-2 positive LMS support the potential role as prognosticator for poor clinical outcome.
